→Missions & Rewards: Adding that Mario was technically used for the September 2022 prizes due to some of his games, including his Punch-Out and Tetris cameo as the referee, being used as the basis for the icons. Don't know if we should add a table for that or not.

From March 2022, Nintendo Switch Online members can access a "Missions & Rewards" section in the Switch's Nintendo Switch Online app where they can complete Nintendo Switch Online-specific tasks, such as opening the app, using the cloud backup feature, or playing online or a specific game on [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], to earn [[My Nintendo]] Platinum Points which can then be exchanged for "icon parts" (characters, backgrounds, and frames) for use in their Switch profile pictures. Icon parts can only be redeemed via a paid Nintendo Switch Online subscription, i.e. they are not redeemable for members who only have an active free trial. The redeemable icon parts are categorized by game: a monthly "spotlight software" category that features a weekly selection of icon parts from a specific game, and an ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Horizons|Animal Crossing: New Horizons]]'' category that features icon parts for [[nookipedia:Villager|residents]] who have birthdays in the current month. On occasions, another game can be added as a "special reward", such as ''[[wikirby:Kirby and the Forgotten Land|Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers: Battle League]]''. | From March 2022, Nintendo Switch Online members can access a "Missions & Rewards" section in the Switch's Nintendo Switch Online app where they can complete Nintendo Switch Online-specific tasks, such as opening the app, using the cloud backup feature, or playing online or a specific game on [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], to earn [[My Nintendo]] Platinum Points which can then be exchanged for "icon parts" (characters, backgrounds, and frames) for use in their Switch profile pictures.

Characters cost 10 Platinum Points each while backgrounds and frames cost five. After redeeming icon parts, the player can then assemble them in the icon collection sub-screen, after which they can then be applied to their profile picture. Some of the character icons are indicated with "Character with background", meaning that some icons of the character have the background baked in for them, and thus a different background cannot be selected for them. A background or frame cannot be redeemed without redeeming a character from the same game first. | Characters cost 10 Platinum Points each while backgrounds and frames cost five.
