I dont understand how do developers miss these kinds of issues.
This is a game with hundreds of thousands of lines of code and individual moving parts. That this extremely specific issue can crop up on a very specific version of the game is really unfortunate but I would think it's understandable. It's possible this just didn't crop up in their testing.

Ok I won't play All Star mode.
Btw, what's All Star mode?? It must be well buried in the confusing menus because this is literally the first time I've ever heard of it!
Hopefully i wasn't missing something cool.

I hear that If you play a 3 stock battle as Pirahna Plant and hit start exactly at midnight you'll be cursed.

Little help here, Smash Era? Please?
If I were you, I wouldn't open the game until a new patch. That's the "safest" thing you can do. But no one knows if it will actually help, or if you've been affected by the bug in the first place. :(
I haven't seen a shred of evidence showing any reproducible bug in All-Star Mode. Really wouldn't let a rumor get in the way of enjoying the game. Back up your save if you have an online subscription and turn off auto-backup for it.


You can choose not to believe this person, of course, but don't go around telling people to just yolo it because there are a LOT of reports of this.

There were people who also treated the Pokémon X and Y save bug in the main city as a stupid rumour. It wasn't. But this is even worse than that since it apparently completely destroys your save and it's overwriten by a new one, no way for the save to get fixed like it was with the Pokémon patch.

Puh, thanks for the heads up. And yeah, won't use Piranha until it was patched.

Well, that's not good for my anxiety. But it would be the perfect end to what was genuinely kind of a shitty day for me.

I imagine you have cloud saves option turned on? So you're safe, just disable the auto backup now so you don't risk the corrupted file overwriting the cloud saved one (if that's even possible anyway)

Thanks for the PSA thread.

Also, whats a Spirit Board? I've literally only been playing single player on repeat to unlock characters, haven't even bothered with World of Light yet.

Spirits can be used like equips that gives you bonus. World of Light is a mode where you walk on a board awakening fighters and opening paths fighting spirits. Spirit Board is a random selection of spirits (some exclusive to this mode) that you can fight to unlock and use in other modes like world of light or even regular smash battles if you set spirits on.

each spirit fight is like an event battle from older games, but with references to the character the spirit is representing

Okay, this is funny. Play as the menacing plant and it snatches up your save file.

Good to know, but never would've ran into this problem.

Because All-Star mode is ass now.
