Nintendo Switch Online Adds Mario Kart World Icon Customizations for Limited Time

Nintendo continues to enhance its Switch Online experience, with the recent introduction of Mario Kart World icon customizations for the Missions & Rewards program.

Available now, these exclusive icon elements can be redeemed using My Nintendo Platinum Points, providing players with new ways to personalize their Nintendo Switch profiles. As announced on January 19, 2026, by Nintendo of America, the Mario Kart World icon customizations are available for a limited period, rotating out weekly until February 22, 2026.

This time-sensitive offering encourages users to check back regularly, as the selection of icon elements will be refreshed each week, giving fans multiple opportunities to collect their favorite designs before they're gone. Players can access these custom icons through the Nintendo Switch Online service on both the original Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 hardware platforms.

The Missions & Rewards feature, which was initially introduced to incentivize player engagement on the Nintendo Switch, allows users to earn Platinum Points by completing specific tasks or missions.

These points can then be spent on digital rewards, including custom icon elements like those from Mario Kart World. In an official statement shared via Nintendo of America's social media, the company highlighted the promotional period, urging fans to use their accumulated Platinum Points to collect the unique Mario Kart World icon components.

The statement also clarified that the final rotation ends at 5 PM PT on February 22, 2026, meaning once an icon set rotates out, it may not return, elevating the collectible value for dedicated Mario Kart enthusiasts and Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Nintendo Switch Online remains a pivotal component of Nintendo’s online ecosystem, offering access to classic game libraries, online multiplayer, and exclusive digital content such as missions and rewards.

The introduction of Mario Kart World icon customizations aligns with Nintendo’s strategy of regularly updating its digital offerings to maintain engagement and reward loyal community members. For those interested in expanding their collection of profile icons, instructions and further details can be found on the official Nintendo Switch Online Missions & Rewards page, accessible via the eShop or Nintendo Direct online hub.

Make sure to check in weekly to secure your preferred Mario Kart World icon customizations before the campaign concludes on February 22, 2026.
