Nintendo Switch users will be surprised with free downloads that you can get until September 2nd

There are plenty of freebies to be won for the Nintendo Switch right now, and Super Mario fans will love them.

We call them freebies because they are icons that you get with Nintendo Platinum Points, a type of currency that you get by playing different games on your Nintendo Switch, answering surveys, etc.

Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood marks the return of the popular RPG series, watch the trailer below

Icons allow you to customize your Nintendo Switch profile picture, and at the time of writing, there are plenty of options available for multiple game series.

They’re not all great and are a poor replacement for the Miis on the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Wii U, but they serve their purpose.

If you want to collect them all or simply have a love for the Super Mario series, be sure to check out the latest icons on offer.

Super Mario Wonder, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe And Super Mario Bros. They are all represented in the latest selection and characters like Mario himself, Luigi, Toad, etc. all get a chance at the spotlight.

These symbols will cost you 10 coins each, but as mentioned, it’s incredibly easy to get the coins and you probably already have a decent stash without even realizing it.

The only disadvantage of these icons is that they cannot be combined arbitrarily, since the character images only harmonize with the backgrounds and frames of this particular set and not with those of any other set.

It’s a strange system, but not a huge surprise for Nintendo, as the company has yet to show us any Nintendo Switch background themes, even years after the console’s launch.

Maybe they’re saving the more expressive features for the Nintendo Switch 2, or whatever the successor will be called.

You have until September 2nd to grab the icons you want from the current selection, as it will be updated again after that date.
