The theme itself gives Tetris 99 newSkyward Sword-based aesthetics, from the background art to the music as well as Tetrimino blocks. This is even evident in the small details used to make it a complete overhaul. This includes a voice clip ofLink’s companion Fibefore the countdown starts and other sound effects fromSkyward Sword.
Other key elements that tie the theme together include heart containers representing the badges that the player earns during the match to themes changing as the player climbs to the higher ranks of the battle. To earn this theme, players need to earn at least 100 points during the event, which will be unlocked automatically once the required total has been met.
Tetris 99comes free with a subscription toNintendo Switch Online, along with other games. One of these includes another battle royale game in Nintendo’s library,Pac-Man 99, which is also developed by the same team that madeTetris 99.
