Yeah and barely, it might be nearly impossible to recover BB3DS for some sad reason.
PLOT
the game's plot
After Deanna is defeated in the (supposed) 8th tournament, the master of rage, Shinko, declared the whereabouts of fellow fighters Sanic and Bizarre, until (briefly) raging about Imitator. Soon, Shinko re-takes the training test. He defeats the Air Cyborg Helper and does everything what Trainer wanted. However, the training enemy sends Shinko to the Vortex, where he defeated Dark Slicer. Meanwhile in Corruption Dragon's Lair, Corruption Dragon rushed at Bizarre calling him a "liar", and defeated him with all of his power. Eventually, Flag (From 3D Parkour) is seen exiting out of its prequel level from said game and runs after the Tournament. Unfortunately for Flag, the Bloodstreams Battles scientist does some research on it, soon to be revealed as an intruder. The scientist sends Policeman after Flag, where he met his defeat by Flag. Later, Dot Racer Guy defeated Alien Face. In the Pit, remarking the same events from the last tournament, Mjus defeats Nojus in the Pit. Later, in Hakase's Office, we see Hakase working on his game, soon to be interrupted by a door noise. It was revealed to be an intruder, so Hakase defeats him. In Kakutou's stage, he defeats another Kakutou. Later, Happy Face is roaming down Hapeville until Super Tac suddenly attacked, bursting Hapeville to flames. Depending on the team, either Happy Face or Super Tac wins. Sooner, when Cyborg Ninja was seen wandering on the Pit, he is suddenly knocked down by a malfunctioning Cyborg Helper, whom he defeats. Meanwhile in Sbaitso's Lab, an intruder breaks in. Sbaitso later defeats the intruder. In the last stages, Shinko is revealed to be missing. Mighty eventually breaks free by entering the unknown portal to The Vortex, where he defeats Lion, finds, and rescues Shinko. After being saved, Shinko and Mighty work together to defeat Imitator, Dolfy and finally Corruption Dragon.Instructions:
