Nintendo has announced that the Tetris 99 54th Maximus Cup will feature a theme inspired by Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. Tetris 99 54th Maximus Cup will be held from Friday, May 29 at 12:00 a.m. PDT to Monday, June 1 at 11:59 p.m. PDT, and players who compete in online battles in Tetris 99 mode and collect at least 100 event points will unlock the new in-game Yoshi and the Mysterious Book theme. Event points awarded based on rank achieved in each battle you compete in during the event.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book launched on May 21 for Nintendo Switch 2 for $59.99 digitally via the Nintendo eShop and $69.99 physically.
Here’s an overview of the game, via the Nintendo eShop:
Play as Yoshi and discover quirky creatures in the pages of a talking book named Mr. E!
Mr. E. needs Yoshi’s help to remember all about the creatures living inside his pages. Open him up, explore each habitat, and experiment to learn about the creature that lives there. What does it do? What does it taste like? How does it interact with its environment? How will it react if you smash it, carry it around, or give it a piece of fruit? There’s only one way to find out!
Make discoveries, collect Stars, and…hey, what’s Bowser Jr. doing here?!
As you try new things with each creature, you’ll naturally make discoveries, clear courses, collect Stars, and unlock more pages to explore. You can even give each critter a name!
But what’s this? Bowser Jr. is also popping up in these habitats?! What could he be up to?
Tetris 99 is available now for Nintendo Switch Online members.
