Special icons can now be earned by taking Dandori Academy exams in Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition!
In celebration of the launch of Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy, Nintendo Switch Online is offering a set of special icons that can be earned by taking part in Dandori Academy exams.
Dandori Academy exams can be undertaken on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with the following icons are available:
- Collect 600 Dandori Points for the Octoplus (Dandori Academy) icon
- Collect 1,400 Dandori Points for the Leafling (Dandori Academy) icon
- Collect 2,500 Dandori Points for the Sage Leaf (Dandori Academy) icon
- Play Mushroom Mash for the On-the-Spot (Dandori Academy) icon
- Play Ultra-Spicy Sprint for the Single-Scoop (Dandori Academy) icon
Ultra-Spicy Sprint will be added in a future update and these icons can only be earned by playing the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of the game.
These icons can be claimed without using My Nintendo Platinum Points. Icon elements can be collected for six months, after which they will no longer be available.
