Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can once again claim free profile icons, this time featuring characters and enemies from the Game Boy classic, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Available until January 6th, these five icons cost just 10 Platinum Points each. Unlike previous promotions, this batch offers a smaller selection, focusing solely on icons without any accompanying frames or backgrounds.
To access these exclusive icons, subscribers need to launch Super Mario Land 2 within the Game Boy app on their Switch. No actual gameplay is required; simply starting the software grants access to the icons for the remainder of the promotional period. As a bonus, launching the game also rewards players with 50 Platinum Points, conveniently covering the cost of all five icons.

While playing Super Mario Land 2 isn’t mandatory for acquiring the icons, it’s highly recommended for those unfamiliar with this Game Boy gem. Considered one of the best titles on the system, Super Mario Land 2 offers a more traditional Mario experience compared to its predecessor. The game also holds historical significance as the debut of Wario, who has since become a prominent antagonist in the Mario universe.
Super Mario Land 2 introduced Wario, who went on to become a key character in the Mario series.
In addition to the Mario-themed offerings, Nintendo Switch Online also features a limited-time set of Earthbound profile icons. Available until December 8th at 16:59 PT, this collection boasts 20 unique icons, showcasing various characters and elements from the beloved RPG. Unlike the Super Mario Land 2 icons, no gameplay prerequisites exist to claim these, making them readily accessible for any subscriber with 10 Platinum Points to spare.
These latest additions join a growing roster of free profile icons available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, allowing players to personalize their profiles with nostalgic imagery from classic Nintendo titles. This ongoing trend of offering exclusive digital rewards further incentivizes membership and provides a fun way for fans to engage with their favorite gaming franchises.
