Also in honor of Mario Day, Nintendo will be hosting aMario Kart 8 Deluxecommunity challenge, beginning on March 7. Those with active subscriptions or an active free trial and a copy of the game will be able to participate, with a promised 310 Platinum Points if the community goal of a million laps is achieved. Those who lack a paid subscription will want to consider using their free trial during this time period to join the challenge.
Outside ofMario Kart, the Nintendo Switch Online subscription gives players the opportunity to access the Nintendo Switch’s catalog of classic titles. Online play in games likeSplatoon 3is also available through an active subscription or trial. The perks extend outside of the Nintendo Switch console itself, as well, as fans can download the Nintendo Music app and listen to a number of soundtracks from iconic games in the Nintendo library.
