A Memory Card is a video game accessory that has been a part of many gaming consoles. Essentially, it is an external memory database where game data is saved, including for games of the Super Mario franchise. On Nintendo 3DS, a non-standard measurement unit called a block was used for memory card capacity by Nintendo and in the consoles' system settings. Nintendo 3DS had one block be 128 KB.
List of Memory cards
SD cards
It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: The section contradicts itself on whether pre-Switch consoles could handle more than 32 GB, e.g. 64 GB. (tagged on May 4, 2024)
SD cards are very common types of storage mediums that Nintendo began using for Nintendo 3DS. They have internal memory where players can save their game data, or even on SD cards, especially in cases where the internal memory runs out of storage. The Nintendo 3DS natively support SDHC SD cards up to 32GB in memory.
SD card support table
Nintendo 3DS has native support for cards up to 32 GB.
New Nintendo 3DS replaced the standard SD card size with microSD, still with a limit of 32 GB.
