Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points: November 2026 Mission and Icons

The Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points mission is worth 50 points, and you earn them simply by playing the classic puzzle game this November. Open Panel de Pon in Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Classics with your Nintendo Switch Online account, and you can also unlock the chance to redeem its retro profile icons.

You don’t need Expansion Pack for this one. The standard paid Nintendo Switch Online membership includes the Super NES library. Just remember that completing the mission earns points and unlocks the icon selection; the individual icon parts still cost Platinum Points to redeem.

Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points: What you get

The reward is straightforward: 50 My Nintendo Platinum Points for launching and playing Panel de Pon during the mission period. Once it registers, Nintendo lets you use your points on icon elements based on the game. You choose which parts to redeem in Missions & Rewards, so playing does not automatically add the whole collection to your account.

These are profile-picture parts for your Nintendo Account, not extras inside Panel de Pon. Nintendo hasn’t listed every design or the individual prices in its November announcement. The gallery on your console shows what is currently available and how many points each part costs.

Which Nintendo Switch Online subscription do you need?

Standard Nintendo Switch Online is enough. Panel de Pon is in Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Classics, which is included with the basic paid membership. Expansion Pack members can play it too, but upgrading just for this mission would be unnecessary.

One thing to know before starting: Nintendo lists Panel de Pon in its UK catalogue as Japanese-language only. You swap neighbouring panels to match three or more of the same colour, so you can get into a game without reading every menu. It’s the original 1995 Super Famicom release, not an English-language remake.

Make sure you’re in the Super NES app, not Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Classics. That second app contains Dr. Mario & Puzzle League, which has its own November mission and does require Expansion Pack. The two challenges are separate, with 50 points available from each.

How to earn Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points

1. On your Switch, Switch Lite or Switch 2, use the Nintendo Account covered by your paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.
2. Open Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Classics. If it isn’t installed, download it from Nintendo eShop or the Nintendo Switch Online Classics section.
3. Find Panel de Pon in the game list and launch it. Nintendo’s mission says to play the game, not finish every stage or beat a boss.
4. Return to the Nintendo Switch Online app on the HOME Menu, open Missions & Rewards, then select the mushroom icon to check your mission progress.
5. Browse the game’s icon collection and redeem any available parts you want using your Platinum Points balance.

You do not have to complete a stage, beat another player or reach a particular score for the Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points mission. Nintendo’s requirement is to play the game. Once the mission registers, the 50 points are credited automatically when you return to Nintendo Switch Online. If the status hasn’t caught up, check again a little later.

Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points: UK deadline

The November mission ends on Monday, 30 November 2026 at 4:59pm Pacific Time, according to Nintendo. That’s Tuesday, 1 December at 12:59am GMT in the UK. The time comes from Nintendo’s US announcement, so check the countdown on your UK console before leaving a redemption until the last minute.

The Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points mission won’t stay around indefinitely, and neither will the chance to redeem new parts from its November icon selection. Anything you’ve already redeemed stays in Icon Collection. You don’t have to build your finished profile picture before the deadline, just claim the parts you want.

Why aren’t the Panel de Pon icon rewards showing?

Start with the simple checks. Are you using the Nintendo Account with the active paid membership? Did you launch Panel de Pon from Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Classics, rather than the similarly named puzzle game included in the GBA compilation? The November missions track different titles.

If the Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points mission still shows as incomplete, check your internet connection and return to Missions & Rewards. Nintendo warns that mission progress can take longer to appear when its services are busy. The rewards programme is supported in Europe, but the exact selection on your account is the one that matters.

Seeing a price beside an icon even after you’ve completed the mission is normal. The mission unlocks the ability to redeem those designs; it doesn’t give them all away. Choose the element you like, check its Platinum Point cost, and redeem it. You can then use it from Icon Collection when making your profile picture.

Do Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points icons expire?

No. Once you’ve redeemed an icon element, it stays in Icon Collection even if your Nintendo Switch Online membership later ends. What expires is the opportunity to redeem that particular element when the offer rotates away, not the part already saved to your account.

For the Panel de Pon Nintendo Switch Online Platinum Points mission, there’s no lengthy challenge to grind through. Play the SNES game, check that your points have arrived, and redeem any icons you want before the November offer ends. Expansion Pack subscribers can also do the separate Dr. Mario & Puzzle League challenge for another 50 points.
