okay so I completed MP3 a couple of days ago and it was truly an amazing game.. it was so awesome that I decided to play it over again already...so I click on my file that was completed, just because I was curious, and BAM... my saved data was gone for it... yeah yeah I know I already beat it...but I am sort of OCD about these things...I like my old data .even if I did beat it already it feels like I lost all those memories after deleting the completed file....is there any way to show people that I have in fact completed the file? I know there are the friend vouchers and there is the harder difficulty that I unlocked when I beat it...but what happens when I beat it a 2nd time? I would get the harder difficulty and no one could tell I beat it twice...when I start a new campaign on the file that was written over is there any solid proof that I beat the game already? sorry, I'm kind of OCD about these things... does it really count that I completed it even though I don't have hard proof? is there any hard proof? .I should have just been safe and chose a new file...maybe I should stop worrying so much about this and just enjoy the game again...I guess memories count more than real saved data.

Why are you worried about proving you beat the game to other people? And do you really show off your save files to people?

I don't mean to sound rude, or anything, I'm just curious.

So you want your save back just so you can prove to people you beat the game? I say just get over it. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone.

The game automatically takes a picture of your completion time and item percentage every time you beat the game; if you really want to prove you beat it,just check out the Photo Channel,and your proof is there.

it's not really to prove it to people...it just feels like all those memories and hard work I did is gone and worthless....but I guess it manifests itself through friend vouchers, that extra mode I unlocked, and memories...I shouldn't stress over something so dumb..I beat it, didn't I?

Memories aren't locked away in a save file. People lose saves all the time and they don't forget the great times they had with that certain game.

Actually,no.The photos only get deleted if you delete them manually.

Well when you beat it you should have gotting a message on your Wii message board showing your time, difficulty level, and completion percent. Also next to your saved data one of the three dots well turn blue. So if you beat it on normal the middle one should turn on.

Plus, it ataches the photo to a note in the Wii calendar.

OH YES!! THE DOTS!! great.. that's awesome ...I didn't even realize that...

I feel better now, though,...I have enough evidence to make me feel better and I have learned to keep games more in my heart than on my SD card.... (soon I should learn to not care if my data is deleted or not...) but for now, the picture and the dots is enough to keep me satisfied. thanks a lot guys
