How to Save on Switch 2
Suspend the Game and Create a Save State
| 1 |  Press the - Button to suspend the game. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Choose Create Suspend Point to create a save state. You can create up to four save states at a time. |
| * |  If you want to overwrite an existing save state, select an old suspend point and choose Yes when asked to overwrite data. |
| 3 | Go back to the menu and continue the game. |
The Nintendo GameCube Classic app for the Nintendo Switch 2 has a feature where you can create save states. It is recommended to use this feature as it is more reliable than saving in-game and allows you to easily save and load your progress anytime and anywhere in the game.
Save states will also ensure that you do not lose your save data, as there are risks to saving in-game and you might lose all your progress.
Loading a Save State
| 1 |  Press the - Button to suspend the game. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Choose Load Suspend Point and choose a save state that you have saved before. |
| 3 |  Upon loading the save state, the game will bring you to the exact point of where you made a suspend point. |
Loading a save state can be useful if you want to quickly jump into the game without watching through the opening screens and navigating through menus.
Save Your Progress In-Game
| 1 |  Press the + Button to pause the game. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  In the Items tab, scroll down and select Save. |
| 3 |  Choose Yes when asked if you would like to save. |
| 4 |  This will save the game based on which save slot you chose upon starting a new game. |
You can also save your progress in the GameCube Classic app regularly through the in-game menu. Do note that the app is prone to crashes, so it is recommended to just use the save state feature to reliably save your progress.
Leaving the app open for multiple days is also not recommended, even if you save in-game constantly, as the game may not actually record your progress while the app is on all the time and you may lose your save data.
