From what I have seen so far, I would say it is absolutely possible.
But to be really sure, I will do a conversion test at the weekend and let you know the result.
Hi! I know I'm quite a bit late, but I investigated the save format on WiiU and I saw your drive explaining the format. I took a look in Switch's format to check everything and did this, hope it helps:
[Example 1-1 1-2 1-3]
00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00{4b 00 01 00 (Unlocked and Cleared with Mario & Toad = 01+02+08+40 = 4B)
03 00 00 00 00 00 80 3f (Top flagpole with Toad)
b2 9d 00 00 35 00 00 00
07 00 00 00}00 00 00 00 (1st, 2nd, 3rd green stars = 01+02+04 = 07)
00 00 00 00{5b 00 01 00 (Unlocked and Cleared with Mario, Luigi & Toad = 01+02+08+10+40 = 4B)
03 00 00 00 00 00 80 3f (Top flagpole with Toad)
54 5a 01 00 3d 00 00 00 (Score=88660, Time=61)
07 00 00 00}00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00{43 00 01 00 (Unlocked and Cleared with Toad = 01+02+40 = 43)
03 00 00 00 d5 e6 f0 3c (Bottom flagpole with Toad) (the exact value depends on player's posision andhitbox)
42 77 00 00 71 00 00 00
00 00 00 00}00 00 00 00 (no green stars)
00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
[Format]
00 00 00 00 QQ 00 0X 00
FF 00 00 00 PP PP PP PP
SS SS SS SS TT TT TT TT
RR RR RR RR
QQ = State 0X = Stamp (Unlck+=01; Clear+=02; Bowsr+=04; M+=08; L+=10; P+=20; T+=40; E+=80)
FF = FlagIcon PP = Position (M=00; L=01; P=02; T=03; E=04) (golden top flag = 00 00 80 3f)
SS = Score TT = Time (little-endian)
RR = Stars (1st+=01, 2nd+=02, 3rd+=04, 4th+=08, 5th+=10, 6th+=20, etc.)
Bowsr] = required stars to unlock
M]ario
L]uigi
P]each
T]oad
E]stela (Rosalina)
So basically the level state and number of stars is a list in which each active element adds a number (next power of two). In decimal numbers:
Decimal sumands = [1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,etc.]
Level state = [unlock,cleared,bowserstatue,mario,luigi,peach,toad,estela]
Green stars = [1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th,etc.]
Hope it helps to improve your format explanison on your drive or your save editor, DNA-Trainer.

Thank you for this. This is exactly what I have in my notes. The Google drive table I posted is for the Switch.
OK guys, I found out the mapping of the level block of the Wii U save file.
Should be no problem and I will test this later
EDIT
Test successful
I was able to convert the level block from a Wii U save to the switch.
Now I need to map the general save block.

That's great news!
Here's something that may help with the general save block, from what I could gather (wiiu):
FILE1's date at addr 0x1000 is time_t 32bits, big endian. Here is "18/02/2021 19:41:41":
FILE1's P1's power ups are in 0x1010 as a bitfield. Here's me with a mushroom:
Powerups are coded with the following values:
It overflows the UI in case of very large numbers for coins (1000+), but should never be above 99 anyways.
That's it for me for now. I may edit this once I figure out the ofsets for FILE2 and FILE3. Hope it helps! Cheers!

Edit: the following bytes are for P2, P3 and P4's powerup slots.
Powerups are coded with the following values:

- Cat Bell;
- Fire Flower;
- Leaf;
- Boomerang;
- Golden Leaf;
- Lucky Cat Bell.

Thank you. Now I nearly have everything I need to make a converter.
The size of one save slot is 0x1477 for the WiiU.
For the switch the size of a slot is 0x1694

A first small version of the editor is available in the first #1 post
https://gbatemp.net/threads/super-mario-3d-world-bowsers-fury-save-editor.582641/
I haven't implemented much yet into the editor, as I work on the converter simultaneously and
I am looking for some tester for the converter.

After you 100% bowsers fury. mario's cat suit transforms into a miniture version of the form mario take when he is using the giga bell. My guess is this is what lion mario is.

Sorry im confused on how to use this. Im hoping you can clear up some stuff
1. Are the edison files important to this working. I happy to stick them on my sd cards but I don't understand what there for and would happen to my mario save file if atmosphere received an update and updated and forgot about those files?
2. Can I use checkpoint to obtain the save file from my switch and restore it back after editing it?
1. EdiZon is a save editor directly on the switch.
You can simply load your save file into edizon and modify it, that's what the Edizon files are for.
2. That's what I do. I backup my files with Checkpoint, copy them to the PC, modify them and restore them back with Checkpoint.
So, when you use the Windows editor, there is no need for the edizon files. And when the Windows editor is on a final release it will have much more options than edizon.

Editor works great, but I couldnt get to the config file in Edizon to Work. Excellent job though.
Thanx thats makes a lot more sence, I had no idea edison could be used as save backup/restorer. Though it was just used to use cheat codes. Perfect thanx you for making the editor
@DNA-Trainer I can help with the test for the converter if you want.
Please let me know how to do it.
Please let me know how to do it.
@DNA-Trainer I think that I also can help with the converter if I remember how to extract the WiiU savegame with Saviine.
Great.
I am working right now on the converter. I will send you guys a pm once the converter is fully working.
@DNA-Trainer i can also test the converter if you want.
