This week, the Tetris® 99 game on the Nintendo Switch™ system collides with the comedy-filled Paper Mario ™: The Origami King game for the Tetris 99 15th MAXIMUS CUP event. Don't fold when the Tetriminos fall down your screen! While Paper Mario jokes never fall flat, you'll always want to remain the last player standing in Tetris 99.

To participate, you'll need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member* and play the Tetris 99 online mode during the event period. You'll earn event points based on your placement in each match.

When battling foes in Paper Mario: The Origami King, it takes puzzle-solving prowess to line up enemies correctly and claim victory in front of an audience of cheering Toads. In Tetris 99 you'll need to spin Tetriminos into the correct configurations to knock out all your competitors. In both games you'll need to think quickly to impress the crowd
