Nintendo Switch Online is celebrating MAR10 Day and the 40th anniversary of Super Mario in style with a special crossover event in Tetris 99.
The acclaimed battle royale puzzler is now featuring a Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2-themed Maximus Cup and Grand Prix, bringing exclusive rewards and fresh content for both longtime fans and newcomers to experience on the Nintendo Switch.
Launching April 3, 2026, and running through April 7, 2026, this limited-time event challenges players to compete in Tetris 99's signature battle mechanics while collecting points to earn a suite of Super Mario Galaxy-themed rewards.
Participants who collect over 100 event points will unlock a visually stunning in-game Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 theme, celebrating the storied legacy and galactic adventures of Mario and friends.
Nintendo has highlighted this special theme in a recently released promotional video, showcasing the iconic cosmic visuals and music that have made the Mario Galaxy titles beloved among fans.
In addition to the in-game theme, supporters of the MAR10 Day festivities can now also claim new Super Mario Galaxy-themed user icons for their Nintendo Switch profile.
Nintendo is rolling out five waves of these limited-edition icons, giving players even more ways to show off their love for the Galaxy series throughout the event's duration.

The return of these titles and related celebrations are also tied into the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, set to debut next month.
