Missions & Rewards
Missions & Rewards were added on March 1st, 2022 within the Nintendo Switch Online app on the Nintendo Switch's HOME Menu. This feature gave Nintendo Switch Online subscribers a new method of earning Platinum Points (which previously could only be earned on the My Nintendo website) by completing missions, but also included a Rewards page where Platinum Points could be redeemed for exclusive icon elements for their Nintendo Switch profile. Rewards are only available for a limited-time distribution period; during this period, rewards will rotate on a weekly schedule. Previously available icon elements may become available once again at a later date.
There are three types of icon elements:
- Character elements, which cost 10. Certain character elements come with a set background that cannot be changed, which prevents them from being used alongside background elements as well as the default Nintendo Switch background colors.
- Background elements, which cost 5. Character elements appear in front of background elements. Background elements cannot be used without a character element.
- Frame elements, which cost 5. Frame elements surround background and character elements. A selection of solid color frames are available by default and can be used alongside any icon element that was purchased with Platinum Points.
Icon elements cannot be used alongside other elements from different games. For example, a Pokémon Scarlet and Violet character element cannot be used together with a Detective Pikachu Returns background element. Icon elements can be redeemed in any region, with the exception of the MOTHER3 icon element set that was distributed from March 7, 2024 to March 13, 2024, which could only be redeemed by accounts that had their region set to Japan during the distribution period. Additionally, a new category of icon element called Play & Redeem was introduced on March 4, 2024, first used for the Super Mario World icon element set. Play & Redeem icon element sets require the user to play the corresponding software, sometimes on multiple days, in order to be eligible to redeem the icon elements.
