It’s that time again.
The latest batch of Nintendo Switch Online icons has arrived, and they’re themed around the newly launched Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
Mario and Luigi are up for grabs as individual icons or as a duo, plus you can nab Princess Peach alongside characters like Connie and Snoutlet.
All in all, there are 11 icons to choose from, as well as five backgrounds and five frames.

As a reminder, icons cost 10 Platinum Points each, while frames and backgrounds will set you back five points.
But Kate, you said they were free?
I did and they are. Platinum Points is Nintendo’s free currency. You can nab points by completing tasks such as filling in surveys or linking your Nintendo account to your Network ID.
That latter task rewards you with 100 points which should keep your coffers stocked up nicely, allowing you to purchase the odd NSO icon.
Take a look at Mario & Luigi: Brothership in action below. It's available now.
These icons will remain available until Wednesday 13 November.
A new batch, also themed around Mario & Luigi: Brothership will then drop.
In fact, there will be four waves in total, with the final wave vanishing on 4 December.
While we’re here, allow me to fill you in on what we thought of the game.
GAMINGbible’s Ewan Moore wrote,”A few minor niggles aside, Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a largely glowing return for the iconic brothers. This is a charming adventure full of whimsy, heart, and humour, all bolstered by accessible yet rewardingly rich RPG systems, and a gloriously gorgeous visual style. The Nintendo Switch might be on its way out, but it’s capable of some absolute bangers.”
It’s well worth picking up, as are those icons.
