A sequel to the fabulous Golden Sun is on its way, and you can move your characters to the new game. Hope you kept your cart!
It seems like it's taking forever, and some of you have probably forgotten that a sequel to Golden Sun is coming. Here's the beef on what you'll need to do to transfer your characters. That's right ... you'd better have kept your cartridge, because your stats and gold can go with you into the next game. That is, if you’ve already completed Golden Sun.
To get to the transfer options, hold down L and R at the black screen with the "Golden Sun" logo and menu at the bottom. Hit Left on the D-Pad and the B button at the same time, and a new menu option for "Send" should appear with an envelope icon.
In the Send menu, you can pick one of the three save slots to send. You can only use a FINISHED game file, so if you didn't complete the game, you'd better get a move on. Once you pick your save file, you have the option to generate a password, or to send the data to another Game Boy with a link cable. The password option is much less straight-forward than the cable option, so that's the large part of what we're going to show you.
You have the option of a Gold, Silver, or Bronze transfer, which correspond to how much data you will send, and consequently, how long your password will be. Is it really that big a deal? You bet it is! A Gold transfer has your Level, Djinn, stats, items, and coins ... at the cost of a password that is 260 characters long!
A silver transfer is only Level, Djinn, and your stats and is only about 61 characters, and a Bronze transfer of just your Level and Djinn is a meager 16 characters. (Please note that these numbers may be unique to the finished game file we tested with, and may not be the same for all games.)
Golden Sun to will be released in North America on April 14. While you're waiting, check out the profile for Golden Sun: The Lost Age for more screens from the Transfer Menu!
