While I was playing Paper Mario Sticker Star, I suddenly got this crash:

My question is if it is exploitable or not. I suppose its just a corrupted game, but I have no idea. It is reproducible whenever I open my save file and start walking around. Thanks for your help.
Every time someone manages to crash a game or app in some way we get the same question and after a while people get tired of seeing that same question asked over and over.
The thing is, most crashes can't be exploited, because the data that causes the crash can't be manipulated in such a way that we can cause it to execute arbitrary code. It has to be a controllable crash.
There's a small chance (probably <1%) that a random crash can be exploited. The crashes that are normally exploited are ones that would never occur normally, but occur because people are using forged/modified data designed to crash the system in a controllable way. Because your crash occured randomly it's likely not controllable. Every exploit works by causing a crash that overwrites part of the memory, causes it to start executing arbitrary code, or similar, but controlling that crash in a way to make it do what we want (execute a specific ROP chain, which in the end leads to unsigned code execution), which requires being able to control what is written to memory, or control what memory is executed, etc.
