Reviving this old thread because I recently acquired a Kirby's Pinball Land manual remembered your plight!

It says:

"From the title screen, press A or B to go to the top scores list. To erase the top four, press START, SELECT, and Down on the D-pad on this screen."

Hope this works and you finally feel cleansed!

Heh, I once bought a loose copy of Shining Force II where a guy had renamed all the characters to obscenities :shock: :roll: :lol: . Easy enough to erase, but a little disturbing.

I think I'd take that high score as an incentive to top it myself though.

But I generally don't mind extra content left on my hardware/software.
I have a DS system that I bought off racketboy member that have a game or two left for me. It's a nice surprise for sure.
...just another lost soul...

I was hoping that spare Wii I picked up had some VC titles on it, but it seems it was actually never hooked up to the Internet. Oh well.

I definitely wipe my systems before I get rid of them. That's assuming I actually get rid of them very often... I think the only one that I've actually gotten rid of in that manner is my original 3DS when I upgraded. But I certainly wouldn't want someone to be able to get to any of my account info on my other consoles.

Thanks for that but I've made it my mission to try and obliterate them myself and replace them with suitably Kirby-esque words. :lol:
