Wave 2 of the Super Mario RPG icons have now gone live, these ones will be available until 30th November, so get them while you can!

Original article [Fri 17th Nov, 2023 04:00 GMT]:
This week sees the return of the SNES classic Super Mario RPG on the Switch. As part of this, Nintendo has been building up excitement in all sorts of ways, and the latest promotion is a new batch of themed icons in its 'Missions and Rewards' scheme for the Switch Online service.
Between now and 23rd November, players will be able to access Wave 1 of these Super Mario RPG-themed icons. As you can see, there are plenty of familiar faces up for grabs such as Geno and Mallo. Wave 2 will begin straight after this and the third and final wave will kick off at the beginning of December.

Each of these character icons will cost 10 Platinum Points each and you can also pick up frames and backgrounds for 5 Points each. Apart from this, the final set of WarioWare: Move It! icons are now available on the Switch and are also available until 23rd November.
What do you think of the latest batch of icons? Tell us in the comments.

I figured they would with Wonder ones conveniently expiring the day before release, but this is still wonderful news. Going to go buy them all up at once.
Worth buying a membership for Geno alone.
They better add the beeg boy or I'm gonna riot.
Awesome. Collected all the Metroid Prime Remastered and Super Mario Bros. Wonder icons. These will also be added.
I think I’ll just settle on a few of em. I do want the Chain Kong.
it's Mallow time!
@Yosher And hopefully Boshi too.
I try to get all the Switch Online icons, but these I absolutely can't miss!
@Yosher As much as I love the beeg boy I'd say it's unlikely, hopefully we'll get at least Boshi as @TheImperfectInsider suggested!
What's the point of these?
@TheImperfectInsider @JohnnyMind I feel like Boshi is kind of a shoe in, given what kinds of characters we have in this first wave.
I am getting all of these, even that stupid bird and knockoff Donkey Kong.
Geno got a Switch profile picture before King K. Rool did.
I really love how Nintendo's finally embracing the full potential of this. Would be awesome if they did a throwback for Smash Ultimate and the roster.
@rushiosan Unique Pfp.
Got ma boi Mallow lined up now for when I start the game. 😌👍
Really hope they add Culex, just so I can have a Final Fantasy icon.
YOSHI and BOSHI are here!
Nintendo has been adding too many good NSO icons lately and I don't have enough Platinum Coins to keep up. Please slow down, or just like keep them available for us to buy whenever, thanks.
we've got Booster power!
@Not_Soos Yeah, the FOMO aspect first and foremost combined with not being able to get multiple at once are the only things I genuinely dislike about these icons because otherwise they're awesome (would be even better if you could combine elements from different series, but that's a minor complaint in comparison to those two)!
I hope they include Boshi.
They didn't add big Yoshi.
Oh shoot I forgot to get Booster! Eh I'm sure they'll do this again at some point.
@Yosher Which is weird because they clearly could have used one of the 3 extra spaces to add an avatar for him. Oh well. 😔
I was also hoping for an avatar of Culex 3D, but I guess they didn't want to spoil one of the bosses you fight in the post game. So that's understandable.
@TheImperfectInsider Maybe later they'll do another round of these and add more, including post game stuff. I think they've done that before? Not sure.
@RubyCarbuncle Boshi was in Wave 2 as you can see in the relative image so if you wanted to get it unfortunately you missed him - not a fan of the FOMO aspect of these icons, for the rest they're brilliant.
Fingers crossed they will eventually be back (so that @TheBigK can get Booster, too)!
@Yosher Yeah, that's likely going to happen, especially since Smithy didn't get an avatar either for some reason.
I can at least understand leaving out some of the more spoilery characters but the lack of Birdo is baffling.
Well, as I missed the most relevant wave, which is the first one, wave 2 was a pass for me and so will be this final one
I already snagged the best ones: Any with Geno in them
I'm still rocking my N64 Star Fox icon but I made sure to get all of the profile elements for this title.
@Lizuka Good point, even more so considering Birdo was quite prominent in one of the trailers for the remake (maybe the very first one, but I'm not completely sure).
