If the game crashes right when you enter it, try importing the seed with FBI:

# Navigate to <code>Titles</code> -> <code>(game name)</code>

#Navigate to <code>Titles</code> -> <code>(game name)</code>

# Select <code>Import Seed</code>

#Select <code>Import Seed</code>

If that doesn't help, remove the save and fix potential game corruption by re-installing the game:

# Back-up your save using [[Checkpoint]]

#Back-up your save using [[Checkpoint]]

# [[3DS:Uninstalling software|Uninstall the game]]

#[[3DS:Uninstalling software|Uninstall the game]]

# [[3DS:Installing software|Re-install the game]]

#[[3DS:Installing software|Re-install the game]]

If the game no longer crashes, restore the save with Checkpoint. If it starts crashing again, you have to redo the process and start a new save.
