Nintendo has quietly rolled out a fresh set of user icons for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, drawing from classic franchises including Super Mario, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Paint, and Animal Crossing.
These icons are part of Nintendo’s ongoing My Nintendo rewards catalog and must be redeemed using Platinum Points.
According to the newly posted schedule, Super Mario-themed icons are available immediately and will remain redeemable through August 10, 2026.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Paint icon selections are both available through September 7, 2026.
Animal Crossing icons are scheduled to be available for the entirety of August 2026.
In plain terms: Nintendo has added multiple retro and series-themed user icons to the Nintendo Switch Online rewards line-up.
Subscribers can exchange their accumulated Platinum Points for these cosmetic profile items and apply the icons to their Nintendo Switch accounts.
Once redeemed, the icons can be selected and used on a player’s Switch profile like other user icon items.
Key availability windows (as posted):
- Super Mario — new selection available until Aug. 10, 2026
- Mario Kart: Super Circuit — new selection available until Sept. 7, 2026

Nintendo has periodically rotated classic and anniversary-themed icons through its rewards store, and this rollout continues that approach by spotlighting legacy titles.
The reward items are part of My Nintendo’s Platinum Points program; players earn Platinum Points through select Nintendo services and activities and then redeem points for digital items such as user icons.
For subscribers who collect and customize profiles on the Nintendo Switch, these new icon drops offer a simple way to refresh account branding with nostalgic imagery.
Check the My Nintendo rewards site or the Nintendo Switch Online icon section on your console to confirm point prices, exact artwork, and the redemption process before deadlines.
