This was done by using the passthru on a GBA compatible system with the DS card inserted and you would select your desired options and the unit would write to file through a GBA GUI onto the DS card. I don't foresee any reason why this couldn't be done for 3DS games in the exact same way... Dump and store or reset functions, plus loading of hacked files with full unlocks etc. The problem is you would need to buy the passthru and have access to a GBA device to clear a game save on a 3DS game that could have been handled with a few menu selections.
Maybe Datel will make a 3DS Action Replay.

If they do (since they've done one for every other GB, GBA and DS I'm sure it's inevitable) that could probably be set up to wipe this pesky locked-down save file, re-lock levels or set all of the stats on the game back to zero value - on this game or any other where it's problematic for those who want to start fresh.

If they do and it does, it'll be a must-have investment for those who find these kinds of save features to get in the way of how they like to play their games.
