For those of you who have started in a new environment this fiscal year, after overcoming the hectic month of April and taking a good rest during Golden Week, perhaps you have found a bit of breathing room?
Now that things have settled, you might find yourself able to play your favorite games even on weekdays, which was difficult in April due to a lack of time. Perhaps in anticipation of this, May is packed with in-game events for many popular titles.
They range from those you play with intense focus to those you can play quickly and casually, but Tetris 99, a title exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members, is one that allows for quick play while offering heated competition.
And speaking of Tetris 99, the customary event is the MAXIMUS CUP!
While there was a gap of about four months between the 38th event held at the end of 2023 and the 39th event held in April 2024, the 40th event has already been confirmed to take place soon!
お待ちかねの2024年初開催！第39回テト1カップは「プリンセスピーチ Showtime! コラボ祭！」
Set in a Mysterious Sea! Endless Ocean Luminous Collaboration!
The 40th MAXIMUS CUP will be the Endless Ocean Luminous Edition!, a collaboration event with Endless Ocean Luminous!
Endless Ocean Luminous is a diving adventure that was just released on Thursday, May 2, 2024.
Set in the mysterious Veiled Sea, which features various terrains such as coral reefs, shallows, undersea caves, and undersea volcanoes with flowing magma that change appearance every time you dive, your interactions with over 500 marine life forms and people from around the world you meet in online multiplayer are once-in-a-lifetime encounters.
It is a title where you can experience new encounters every time you dive.

Event Also Held in Endless Ocean Luminous!
In this MAXIMUS CUP, if you play Tetris 99 mode during the event period and earn 100 event points, you will earn the Endless Ocean Luminous special theme.
If you become the first-place winner, you get 100 points in one go to unlock the special theme! You earn 70 points for 2nd place, 50 points for 3rd place, 40 points for 4th to 10th place, and 30 points for 11th to 30th place.
Since you earn 1 point even for placing between 91st and 99th, you can definitely get it if you play at least 100 times. Let's play repeatedly without giving up!
The 40th MAXIMUS CUP Endless Ocean Luminous Edition! is scheduled to be held from 4:00 PM on Friday, May 10, 2024, to 3:59 PM on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, and an event will be held at the same time within Endless Ocean Luminous as well!
In Endless Ocean Luminous, an in-game event called Event Tour will be held. It seems that in the Event Tour, you can see precious sights not found in normal sea areas, such as schools of rare creatures and creatures so giant you have never seen them before.
Whether you are already enjoying Endless Ocean Luminous or are thinking of starting now, be sure to participate in both events!
Please check the Nintendo Homepage for further details!
The #Tetris99 40th MAXIMUS CUP event will run from 5/10 at 12:00am PT to 5/13 at 11:59pm PT!
Once you’ve accumulated a total of 100 event points, a new theme will unlock, featuring art, music, and Tetrimino designs inspired by #EndlessOceanLuminous! @Tetris_Official pic.twitter.com/jdCAYSMMnn
