Does anyone have a save for 3D All-Stars yet? I was looking at the save files and the easiest save to really replace is mario 64 as i can copy a save from my Everdrive to that but Sunshine and Galaxy look different than a traditional save (Sunshine looks a bit wonky and Galaxy seems byte-swapped in some places). Also it seems the main launcher has a save too in addition to having a PlayReport folder (which I assume I shouldn't mess with).

I have not tested it yet mostly out of fear it may not work or the Playreport folder might screw things up but I believe the SNES online had a folder like this too and I haven't been banned yet for that particular game.

Just backup entire of original folders and save on PC so just take Switch offline by delete or discontinue the WiFi so in case, if screw up, just replace with original folders.

Only difference - NES and SNES have online to update and track but not case with 3D All Stars.

I will still wait for someone to upload a save just to be sure. Don't want to go through the hassle of playing everything again @.@

I did some more research and manually coping the sunshine all stars save to a gci with the same gcm isn't working. I thought it was a dud sd card but it turns out that the format itself is wonky. i then tried to import the .sav into dolphin with no avail. I'm tempted to try to do something with a Wii to see if the raw file is like that on an actual memory card or not.

I did some more testing and yes the Mario 64 save does indeed work. Here's the save which can also work with emus and Everdrives if renamed properly. Heres the link encoded in base64 aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL2ZpbGUvZC8xaXQzZ29aSUtpX3F1LWppLUxiNVFXc0l6TlZaNmRCRWEvdmlldz91c3A9c2hhcmluZw==
I'm hoping this alone doesn't pose a ban risk but I doubt it.

I don't see a link.

While I was testing the 64 save I must have done something on accident as my galaxy save got completely reset to 1 star which is unfortunate. I seriously hope someone uploads a save soon or I'll go insane @.@ It would be nice to have a proper GameData.bin converter that can convert a already existing Wii save with a Switch save as well as a .GCI to 3D All-Stars .sav or something.

you probably can. I don't know what the saves look like, but they're probably compatible, maybe with some hexing.
Mario 64 in all stars is just an eeprom dump but Sunshine uses a very strange and unfamiliar (to me at least) memory card format and Galaxy would be the same if it weren't for the fact Nintendo recompiled the game and changed the endianessof certain things making most stuff incompatible with existing tools.

All 3 games are emulated so it should be possible to convert from previous consoles

I got 120 shines in nintendont or on the actual cube many years ago. I have the save through the wii u. I'm trying to get all shines in 3d all stars, but I'm stuck in a stage. here's that save:
