Nintendo has rolled out a new set of Halloween-themed user icons on My Nintendo for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 owners.
The seasonal drop, timed for Halloween 2026, adds a small collection of Mario franchise avatars that players can redeem through the My Nintendo rewards program in the console eShop interface.
Background and availability
My Nintendo is Nintendo’s loyalty program, where players exchange Platinum Points for digital rewards such as themes, icons, and coupons.
For Halloween 2026 Nintendo has made eight distinct Mario-character icons available to users on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
The lineup includes series staples such as Mario, Rosalina, and Bowser among the eight designs.
Cost and redemption window
Each icon costs 10 Platinum Points.
My Nintendo’s listing specifies that these icons are available to redeem through November 1, 2026.
The program notes that once an icon is claimed, it remains in the user’s account permanently — even if the player later allows any subscription services tied to their account to lapse.
Limited run and final wave
Nintendo’s announcement makes clear that the current set of eight icons is the complete Halloween offering for this year: there are no planned additional waves beyond the items already live.
In journalistic terms, Nintendo is presenting this as a single, limited-time collection available until the November 1 deadline.
How to claim
To claim an icon, open the My Nintendo rewards section on your Switch or Switch 2 through the eShop or system menu, confirm you have at least 10 Platinum Points, and redeem the desired avatar.
Points can be earned through digital purchases and other program activities documented by Nintendo.
Context for collectors
These small cosmetic additions are typical of Nintendo’s seasonal My Nintendo releases, which the company sometimes highlights around events and in broader Nintendo Direct updates.
