Another Maximus Cup is taking place in Tetris 99 right now with a theme for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. I've just beaten this remaster the other day, so the timing was very nice. And the theme is quite nice as well, I like the visuals a lot and how the Rambi blocks are used for the garbage.
The only complaint is that the music choices are a bit vanilla. It starts with "DK Island Swing", the track from the first levels, then goes into the title theme, and finally plays the "Lift-Off Launch" rocket barrel music. Those are good tracks and can make you hum along, but I would probably have swapped the title theme with something else, because it doesn't feel like the stakes are raised at that point.
Anyway, get this while you still can. The younger Maximus Cups are not up for purchase via tickets, so if you miss one of them, you probably won't have the opportunity to obtain them anytime soon.
