Trophy Creator is an application on the Play Nintendo website.[1] It enables users to design a custom printable trophy using elements from competitive multiplayer Nintendo Switch titles published by Nintendo. The application cannot be used on smaller devices, such as mobile phones.
Overview
The user must first select one of the available game- or system-related logos for their trophy to display, which dictate the theme of the trophy. Each theme comes with distinct patterns, colors, and features for the trophy cup. After a logo/theme is chosen, the user is prompted to select a preferred color and pattern for their trophy, then decorate it with stickers that may portray items and characters related to the chosen theme. Stickers can be repositioned, rotated, resized, and removed using the device's mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen. On the sticker customization screen, there is also an option to preview the trophy with its decorations cropped to fit its front side ("Crop preview"). Next, the user can choose a prewritten message to be displayed at the trophy's base, or leave the recipient empty so as to manually write a message themselves. Finally, they can opt to review their trophy and make additional changes, or download it as a set of printable PDF sheets with instructions on how to cut it out and build it.
Current trophy themes in the application include:
- Nintendo Switch
- Nintendo Switch Sports
- Mario Party Superstars
- Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Mario Golf: Super Rush
- Splatoon 2
- Mario Tennis Aces
- ARMS
The application is updated with new trophy themes as Nintendo publishes more multiplayer games are released for the Nintendo Switch. Sometimes, themes are also removed, as is the case with the Super Mario Party theme. Older versions of the application have fewer customization options; other than the theme selection, users only have the option to type up to three lines of text as the message shown at the trophy's base before downloading the PDF file.[2]
Controls
By means of a mouse or touchscreen, users can manipulate the stickers they place over the trophy via two buttons adjacent to the sticker—one which rotates and resizes the sticker when dragged, and another which deletes it when tapped. Alternatively, keyboard controls may be used:
| K | Open/close controls |
| +- | Bigger/smaller |
| ←↑→↓ | Move |
| <> | Rotate |
| [] | Re-order |
| Delete | Delete |
| Shift + Any | Modify |
| W | Align top |
| A | Align left |
| S | Align bottom |
| D | Align right |
| C | Center horizontally |
| V | Center vertically |
