Can't copy Super Smash Bros Brawl data to SD card!

[Goonch]

My son wants me to copy his SSBB game data to the sd card.  He wants a backup of all his unlocked characters. However, I can't get the copy function to work for the SSBB data. I am able to copy every other game file except this one. What gives? Any ideas?

Can't be done, as far as I know.  I tried it a week or so ago, because I wanted to play with all the characters I unlocked at a friend's house.  I got an error message every time I tried.  I eventually flipped through the manual and I believe it specifically states that you can't load a memory card with game save data.  You can save things like user created maps and screenshots, though. You have to do it in the game, not from your Wii's memory management page. 

Why this is implemented this way, I have no idea.

They don't want you to just grab a version from the web that has everything unlocked, I think.

Yes, it doesn't make much sense, but that's how it works.

Just take the Wii with you if you want to use all the unlocked characters. It's an ugly workaround, but it'll work.

Thanks for the info.

That is really silly on Nintendo's part. My son just wants a backup just in case the console goes kaput. He spent alot of time unlocking certain characters.
