DK is back in his latest outing Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>, and apart from new merch and promotions in mobile games like Super Mario Run<\/a>, he’s also getting his very own Tetris 99<\/a> event.<\/p>\n

Yes, Nintendo’s Switch Online-focused battle-royale Tetris<\/a> game will be hosting a special event between 1st – 4th August, 2025. In this limited-time Maximus Cup, you’ll be able to unlock a theme including special art, music and Tetrimino designs once you’ve accumulated 100 event points.<\/p>\n

This event marks the 48th Maximus Cup event. If you haven’t played Donkey Kong Bananza yet, you can check out our review here on Nintendo Life. Here’s a quick sample:<\/p>\n

“Donkey Kong Bananza is an almighty re-introduction to the world of 3D platforming for DK, and arguably the Switch 2’s first absolute must-play. The punching and crashing is a passing novelty that, once you get your fill, quickly becomes just another way of exploring the wonderfully varied and beautifully presented layers.”<\/p>\n
