Nintendo has expanded its Switch Online Missions & Rewards program with the introduction of new Kirby Air Ride icon customizations.
These digital icons, available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, are inspired by the high-speed action and beloved characters from the GameCube classic, Kirby Air Ride.
This latest addition offers players yet another way to personalize their Switch user profiles and celebrate one of Nintendo's enduring franchises. Switch Online Missions & Rewards, accessible through the Nintendo Switch home menu, enables users to complete specific tasks in exchange for Platinum Points.
These points are part of Nintendo’s broader My Nintendo loyalty program and can be redeemed for digital rewards.
According to Nintendo’s official announcement, the Kirby Air Ride icon customizations will be available on a rotating basis, cycling through different designs each week until December 25, 2025.
This time-limited offer encourages fans to check back regularly to collect their favorite icons while they remain accessible. A Nintendo spokesperson stated that the ongoing expansion of the Missions & Rewards catalogue reflects the company’s commitment to providing engaging incentives for their online community.
The inclusion of Kirby Air Ride, a title initially released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003, highlights the lasting popularity of both the Kirby series and Nintendo’s approach to celebrating its classic properties. These icon customizations join a growing library of themed avatar rewards based on popular Nintendo games, reinforcing the value of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription beyond its core features such as cloud saves, online multiplayer, and access to a curated library of NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy titles.
Nintendo continues to refresh its digital offerings on the eShop and Switch Online platforms, aiming to deliver more ways for fans to express their fandom and connect with the company’s celebrated history. To take advantage of the latest Kirby Air Ride icon customizations, subscribers simply need to navigate to the Missions & Rewards section on their Nintendo Switch console and redeem the icons using their accumulated Platinum Points.
With regular rotations until late 2025, now is an ideal time for fans of Kirby and Nintendo’s storied catalog to update their online presence with these nostalgic visuals.
