Nintendo has added a set of collectible icons to Nintendo Switch Online tied to Dandori Academy activity in Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
The move gives players a new way to personalize their Switch profiles while engaging with Dandori Academy exams and event mini-games.
Pikmin 4, developed by Nintendo EPD and originally released for the Nintendo Switch in July 2023, expanded its in-game seasonal and online features through this Switch Online reward.
Nintendo has made the icons available to players who participate in Dandori Academy exams and specific mini-games, with eligibility tied to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of the game.
According to Nintendo’s announcement, Dandori Academy exams are normally offered on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Players can earn icons by accumulating Dandori Points and by playing designated mini-games.
The icon rewards and their requirements are listed below:
- Octoplus (Dandori Academy) icon: collect 600 Dandori Points
- Leafling (Dandori Academy) icon: collect 1,400 Dandori Points
- Sage Leaf (Dandori Academy) icon: collect 2,500 Dandori Points
- On-the-Spot (Dandori Academy) icon: play Mushroom Mash
- Single-Scoop (Dandori Academy) icon: play Ultra-Spicy Sprint (to be added in a future update)
Nintendo clarified that only the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Pikmin 4 is eligible for these specific icon elements.
The company also confirmed that icons can be claimed without spending My Nintendo Platinum Points, separating this limited-time offering from the standard My Nintendo reward redemptions available through the eShop or Nintendo account portal.
Icon elements will remain collectible for six months from the start of the promotion, after which they will no longer be available.
Players interested in claiming the icons should ensure they are participating in Dandori Academy sessions on the scheduled days and are playing the correct edition of the game.
For readers tracking Nintendo Switch Online updates, this follows Nintendo’s ongoing practice of offering cosmetic rewards and account personalization through its subscription service, which continues to tie in-game activity to Switch Online perks.
Check Nintendo’s official channels or the Switch Online app for the exact start and end dates of this icon promotion and for confirmation when Ultra-Spicy Sprint support goes live.
