Nintendo Switch Online members have another set of profile icon parts to spend Platinum Points on. The August 4 wave uses art from Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Paint, the wider Super Mario series, and Animal Crossing. The mix puts two retro releases beside two of Nintendo’s most frequently revisited brands.
How the icon system works
Icon rewards are claimed through the Nintendo Switch Online app on the console. Open Missions and Rewards, choose the available theme, and exchange Platinum Points for individual characters, backgrounds, or frames. The pieces can then be combined into a custom user icon.
An active Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to reach the rewards area. The source report says individual elements usually cost 10 Platinum Points, so a full design assembled from several parts may require roughly 50 to 60 points. Check the displayed price before redeeming because the catalog and costs can change.
Four themes cover different eras
Mario Kart: Super Circuit represents the Game Boy Advance entry in the racing series. Mario Paint reaches back to Nintendo’s Super NES art software. The Super Mario and Animal Crossing groups provide broader character and decorative choices rather than focusing on one newly released game.
The result is a reward wave built around recognizable art instead of a single launch campaign. It follows earlier rotations that brought back themes such as Xenoblade Chronicles and Splatoon 3. Nintendo regularly changes these selections, so an absent set can return later, but a repeat is not guaranteed.
Claim first, design later
The current wave is described as time-limited, though the source did not provide a removal date. Members who want a specific part should claim it while it is visible rather than waiting for a confirmed deadline. Platinum Points can be earned through the missions listed in the app, and their own expiration rules still apply.
Redeeming an icon part does not unlock game content or change the console theme. It only adds pieces to the profile icon editor. Members should also verify the exact lineup in their region, since the report relies on a secondary announcement rather than a Nintendo product page with a global schedule.
