Excellent multiplayer puzzler Tetris 99 is still going strong. The superb battle royale block buster will be celebrating its 22nd Maximus Cup event this weekend and will be offering participants a fun new theme based on recent Switch release Mario Golf: Super Rush.

From tomorrow, July 9, until Monday, July 12, any Tetris 99 player who earns themselves 100 points in-game will automatically unlock the Mario Golf themed package, which includes artwork, music, and custom Teromino designs based upon the new links-smashing release. Of course, a Nintendo Online account is needed in order to participate in Tetris 99 tournies, but as long as you are signed up, then you’ll be good to go.

The Mario Golf: Super Rush event is the latest in a series of crossover events to hit the fast-paced puzzler. Previous Maximus Cup events have seen tie-ins with Splatoon, Kirby Fighters, and, most recently, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. For Nintendo, it’s a neat way to offer players some freebies while doing a spot of cross-promotion.

Tetris 99 and Mario Golf: Super Rush are both available now on Nintendo Switch. The 22nd Maximus Cup kicks off July 9 at 00:00 PT and will end on July 12 at 23:59 PT.
