4. Check your old NANDs!

If you modded your Wii a while ago, your old NANDs could have the data. Please view this image for how to retrieve your file from the NAND. Dolphin or nandExtract can help.

2. Check your console(s)!

By modding (using the wonderful guide at wii.hacks.guide) you can install Homebrew to dump your game saves, including the file we’re looking for! View the below image for a guide. Feel free to join our Discord server for help! (🔗 in bio)

Did you play this lost Mario Kart Wii competition? 🌌

In early June 2008, Nintendo hosted a special online competition, taking place on Galaxy Colosseum/Galaxy Arena. This lasted for just 10 days, and remains the only competition with lost data.

If you yourself have the puzzle, you can follow the below steps to recover it.

Again, please note that the archival process does not require any modding.

By archiving, users would be able to access every puzzle, regardless of region and limited distribution period. The archival process doesn’t require any modding!

The other two rare puzzles, “Big Mac” and “Mario & Happy”, would both be available through the same method.

Do you have the rarest StreetPass puzzle? ✈️

In summer 2012, Nintendo collaborated with All Nippon Airways to distribute the Puzzle Swap puzzle “ANAでDS”. Currently, this is the only lost puzzle out of the entire collection.
