Nintendo Switch Online continues to engage fans with exclusive rewards, announcing a fresh set of avatar icons for Mario’s Super Picross and Mario Party 3 this October.
These new collectibles are available not only on the original Nintendo Switch system, but are also compatible with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, reinforcing Nintendo’s commitment to an evolving digital ecosystem. The new icons are offered through Nintendo Switch Online’s "play to unlock" reward system, which encourages active gameplay through the company’s virtual consoles.
To unlock the Mario’s Super Picross icons, subscribers simply need to launch the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) app and briefly play Mario’s Super Picross.
For those looking to add Mario Party 3 icons to their collection, access is granted via the Nintendo 64 app, although this requires membership at the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack tier. A total of five unique icons are themed around Mario’s Super Picross, while Mario Party 3 receives seven exclusive avatar options.
Each icon can be redeemed for 10 Platinum Points via My Nintendo, providing a tangible incentive for subscribers to explore classic titles in the growing library. These limited-time rewards are available until November 3, 2025, giving players an extended opportunity to secure the exclusive avatars on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 hardware platforms.
This initiative highlights Nintendo’s ongoing effort to incentivize participation within its Nintendo Switch Online service and the associated eShop rewards ecosystem. In a recent company statement, Nintendo emphasized its dedication to rewarding loyal community members and maintaining a dynamic online environment.
"Our goal is to provide value through continual updates and accessible content for Nintendo Switch Online members," a Nintendo representative stated.
These additional icons are part of a broader trend in offering personalized digital rewards that complement the company’s classic and contemporary game library. Fans interested in claiming these avatars should ensure their Nintendo Switch Online or Expansion Pack membership is current and that their My Nintendo account has enough Platinum Points to complete the redemption.
For more updates about Nintendo Switch Online, the eShop, or upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 features, stay tuned to Nintendo's official channels. Whether you’re a long-time Mario enthusiast or a new subscriber to Nintendo’s digital services, these unique rewards provide another reason to revisit the platform’s iconic games and engage with its robust online community.
