In clear, journalistic terms: during the 56th Maximus Cup players must collect 100 points during the event period to unlock the Splatoon Raiders theme.
The theme reward includes unique visual art, music, and custom Tetrimino appearances tied to Nintendo’s Splatoon franchise.
Points are earned by participating in online Tetris 99 matches, with higher placements yielding more points per match.
The Maximus Cup is a recurring, time-limited challenge in Tetris 99 that has historically offered cosmetic themes and other rewards in exchange for points accumulated across multiple online matches.
Players earn points primarily by performing well in solo online matches; the better a player finishes in each match, the greater the point payout toward the event total.
A trailer for the 56th Maximus Cup has been released to show off the Splatoon Raiders theme and give players a preview of the art and music included with the reward.
Fans who missed prior Maximus Cup events have repeatedly been able to unlock themed content by participating during the limited window.
Tetris 99 remains exclusive to Nintendo Switch and continues to receive periodic Maximus Cup events and collaborations.
Players interested in the Splatoon Raiders theme should ensure they have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, download or access the game via the Nintendo eShop, and log in during the August 7–11 event window to begin earning points toward the 100-point requirement.
