** The very first special theme from a Maximus Cup was based on the very first ''Tetris'' on the UsefulNotes/GameBoy in 1989 as a celebration of that game's 30th anniversary.

* MisbegottenMultiplayerMode: While the game ''is'' built around online battles with up to 98 opponents, and it works well on that front, the local multiplayer modes leave something to be desired. 2P Share Battle allows two players to play on the same device...but the two players' playfields are arranged ''vertically'' rather than the traditional horizontal arrangement, and since ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' playfields have a 1:2 aspect ratio, this means each player's share of the screen will be quite small, especially if playing undocked on the Switch's built-in screen. Local Arena allows up to 8 players to play via local wireless connection, and here at least each player has a full-sized playfield. Both modes still add CPU opponents to have 99 entrants (97 for Share Battle and 91-97 for Local Arena), so you can't have a local multiplayer match that's just between you and other humans.
