Super Mario Kart Icons Launch on Nintendo Switch Online: Limited-Time Rewards for Subscribers

Nintendo Continues Mario Kart Celebrations With Exclusive Switch Online Super Mario Kart Icons Nintendo fans have enjoyed a wealth of Mario Kart content in recent months, and now, subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online are receiving another treat.

A new collection of Super Mario Kart-themed profile icons is now available as limited-time rewards on the Nintendo Switch platform, further highlighting the company’s commitment to celebrating its beloved franchise. These exclusive icons are inspired by the original Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), a title that laid the foundations for one of the best-selling racing series in gaming history.

Nintendo Switch Online members who access the Super Nintendo app can participate in missions that reward them with these icons.

Each icon can be redeemed for 10 Platinum Points, and players will be granted 50 Platinum Points simply by playing Super Mario Kart via the Switch Online service. According to NSO Icons Alerts and initially reported by GoNintendo, the new set features seven unique designs starring fan-favorite characters such as Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and Yoshi.

These Super Mario Kart icons are available until March 3, 2025, giving subscribers a limited window to collect and personalize their Nintendo Switch profiles with these nostalgic visuals. This initiative follows closely on the heels of another Mario Kart anniversary celebration — the addition of Super Mario Kart’s iconic soundtrack to Nintendo Music, Nintendo’s dedicated music streaming platform.

The franchise’s ongoing presence in the spotlight has also been fueled by recent developments, including industry updates related to Mario Kart 9 and the highly anticipated successor to the Nintendo Switch hardware, known in the gaming community as the Switch 2. Since its debut, Nintendo Switch Online has offered an expanding range of rewards, from classic game access on the eShop to exclusive digital collectibles.

These Super Mario Kart-themed icons are the latest in a series of efforts by Nintendo to reward player engagement and foster a sense of community among players. Super Mario Kart remains a pivotal part of Nintendo's legacy, first released in 1992 and selling millions of copies worldwide.

With Mario Kart continuing to set records and capture new generations of fans, these Switch Online icon rewards provide both nostalgia for longtime followers and fresh incentives for new subscribers. Nintendo encourages all eligible Switch Online members to take advantage of the promotion before the March 3rd deadline.

For those interested in expanding their collection of Platinum Points and celebrating one of Nintendo’s most iconic games, these time-limited rewards are not to be missed.
