Issues with Piranha Plant DLC
In other news, and unfortunate at that, there have been reports that those who got the Piranha Plant DLC got some issues with their save files. To be specific: the save files are getting corrupted. There is still no confirmation from Nintendo at this time, but it seems like the major bug is only contained to the game’s All-Star mode.
