Already got the Kirby one!
I'll put these new icons on all the folders I'm able to create...
I wonder if Emio will get icons.
I will be purchasing these icons I think. That aside, the hat actually is out of stock at the moment, so that sort of sucks.
Looking forward to the little blue dot appearing next to NSO every single time I fire up my Switch.
Well, we finally got a Birdo one, even if it's not exactly in the form I was hoping for. Still baffled they left her out of the SMRPG ones.
Maybe there'll be a good modern one of her when Mario Party comes out.
Maybe it's because I'm not the type to wear those kinds of hats but that one looks hideous lol.
@Yosher I never wear hats but I actually kind of like it on a hokey level. Feel like it has kind of the look of a hat you'd have seen on a worker at one of the tournaments back in the day.
the Donkey Kong icon from Wave 3 is a mood
Nice, will get all these icons for sure!
Gonna get these for sure. Love the retro icons!
Hat not available for the UK?
I was so pumped to get the hat!
It came in on Tuesday and... love the look but the fit is a bit awkward. I have a large head. Even though it's a snapback, it still feels small somehow. I blame my stupid head though.
Can't wait to get my hat in the mail! Will look good next to the one I got 34 years ago!

I grabbed them all before I read this article LOL.
Wow. If only the deluxe set was in stock in Europe instead of all over Ebay for 3x the price.
