This article is a stub.

The file format for a Hey! Pikmin saved game. Note: this comes from analyses of the .sav files generated by Citra.

Format[edit]

The save data is split into several blocks that start with 4-byte magic words. The blocks are ordered in the same order they are presented in this article.

SAVE[edit]

Offset Length Field Notes
File Block
0x0000 0x0000 4 bytes Block magic word Always SAVE.
0x000C 0x000C 4 bytes Save data checksum Calculated using this method.

NEWS[edit]

What "news" the player has seen. "News" are the cutscenes that take place inside the S.S. Dolphin II, where the ship explains something to Olimar.

Offset Length Field Notes
File Block
0x0010 0x0000 4 bytes Block magic word Always NEWS.

SAMI[edit]

Offset Length Field Notes
File Block
0x0D80 0x0000 4 bytes Block magic word Always SAMI.

Checksum[edit]

The checksum seems to be a CRC32 of the 0xD87 bytes that follow after the checksum (i.e. just one byte short of the entire remaining data), with CRC32 as implemented by e.g. zlib.

The following Python code can recalculate the checksum if the data after the checksum is modified: 

import struct
from zlib import crc32

filepath = "radish0.sav"  # put the script in the same folder as the save file
with open(filepath, "rb") as f:
    header = f.read(0xC)
    chksum = struct.unpack("I", f.read(4))[0]
    
    data = f.read()

calculated_chksum = crc32(data[0:0xd87])
with open(filepath, "wb") as f:
    f.write(header)
    f.write(struct.pack("I", calculated_chksum))
    f.write(data)
