Tetris 99 Kirby Fighters 2 Event Begins This Week

There’s a new Tetris 99 Maximus Cup event on the way. This time, things are going to look very pink and very puffy. The Tetris 99 Kirby Fighters 2 event will run January 7-11, 2021.

As usual, participating and earning the special reward for the event isn’t too taxing. All you need to do is earn 100 in-game points by participating in the battle royale matches during the event. No matter which place you earn, you’ll earn points. If you meet the threshold, the Tetris 99 Kirby Fighters 2 theme is permanently available.

Kirby Fighters 2 itself is a Nintendo Switch-exclusive fighting (and smooching) game starring various forms of Kirby. (Each one has a different Copy Ability.) You can fight through it alone, or with an ally. There’s even a demo.

This is the second “new” Tetris 99 theme to be released in the last few months. Back in November 2020, there was a Super Mario All-Stars event in honor of Mario’s anniversary.

Tetris 99 is available for free for all Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, though someone can also buy a physical copy and continue to play even if you don’t maintain a subscription. The Tetris 99 Kirby Fighters 2 event will be held January 7-11, 2021.
