Tetris 99 - Princess Peach Showtime! Cup
10About four months after the last Maximus Cup, we have the 39th Maximus Cup, allowing you the chance to get a Tetris 99 skin based ion Princess Peach Showtime! For the record, I did get the game, as I found it on sale at Costco (they don’t seem to sell it anymore, as of April 5th, 2024, when I wrote this description), though I haven’t played it yet, only the demo, so my knowledge on the references to the game in this skin is limited.
What I DO know, however, is the premise: Princess Peach has been invited to the Sparkle Theatre, a facility holding a large number of stages for performance theater, run by the acting-loving Theets. While Peachis in there, the sorceress Grape invades the theater with her Sour Bunch, taking over each play to give it an ending in their favor. Peach then has to make her way to the end of each play and set the story back to normal. Stella, the theatre’s producer, joins Peach and gives her the power to change her outfit, giving her special skills. Featured on the playfield is our default Princess Peach, with her crown, which was lost in Grape’s attack, replaced by Stella’s ribbon, the source of these outfit changes. On the left are Kung Fu Peach and Detective Peach, and on the right are Patisserie Peach and Swordfighter Peach.
The Minos in this skin take the form of the game’s counterpart to ? Blocks, whatever they’re called, though recolored to fit each Tetrimino. The target takes the shape of Stella’s head, and badges are those green collectible items you look for 10 each of per stage. As I haven’t played the game beyond the demo, and I only played that once so I can’t remember any of the music, I don’t confidently recognize any of the songs here.
Match #1
Skin: Special Theme 31 (Princess Peach Showtime!)
Mode: Normal
Ever since I started playing Tetris 99’s Maximus Cups, I wondered if I would ever be able to get 1st place on my first match in any of these events. Doing so will automatically get me enough points to get the skin. Considering I had some rough treatment from some of the other players in this room, I wasn’t expecting this first match in a Maximus Cup to be one of total victory, but as you can see, here I am!
Match #2
Skin: Special Theme 31 (Princess Peach Showtime!)
Mode: Invictus
So I decided to move to Invictus to make room in regular Tetris 99 for others to earn points. As I already have enough points for Special Theme 31, I didn’t want to allocate these points to doing nothing when perhaps those points could go to someone who needed them.
Match #3
Skin: Special Theme 31 (Princess Peach Showtime!)
Mode: Invictus
You’ll see that there’s a T-Spin Tetris Ticket mission that I had just been going through very slowly. I’m not really a T-Spin person; I personally feel I’m more effective focusing on combos instead. T-Spins are flashy and look impressive, but combos send a barrage like nothing else in the game. Granted, in Invictus matches like these, where you’re up against other people who have placed 1st in a normal match in the past, you might not always get the time to set up a combo.
