I HAVE GOOD NEWS EVERYONE (read that in professor Farnsworth voice (futurama) I have retrieved my cartridge, I managed to find a wire coat hanger so I untwisted it and made it into a long line, I stuck a load of duct tape on the end and sort of went fishing with it...the bad news, I cleaned it as best I could and dried it with a towel, but for some reason my 3DS isn't recognizing the cartridge is actually in my 3DS, I will keep trying and see if it eventually works, but If it still isn't working by the morning, I don't know what else I can do.

If it's still having issues tomorrow, clean the contacts on both DS and cartridge with rubbing alcohol.

Hopefully you'll get it fixed! These things happen, but if you give it a little clean and dry, hopefully it'll work!

That's good to hear. Just keep on trying with the cartridge~
This is perfect advice, it's the number 1 way to dry out electronics!! Leave it in rice overnight and it should be totally dry by morning

Rice is a great solution to dry it out !!!

You should get one of those grabbing hook things, lmao. How far down is it? like 3 feet? 5 feet?

also, put it in RICE.
It will soak up the moisture. I did this with a phone i dropped in the lake.. It would not work turn on after i got it out of the water, but after I put in rice for about a day, it worked
Wow I learned so many helpful advice in this thread! The rice and the duct tape tips especially are very informative. Thanks everyone!
All the best with getting your cartridge to work dear. Hopefully the rice thing will work.

Why not get the digital download, that way you never have to worry about losing the cartridge ever again?

I felt like I was reading a thriller going through the comments. "Does he ever get his game cartridge back?" "Will the DS recognize the game in the slot?!" "Will it work again?!" Find on out the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!
But in seriousness, I'm glad your game wasn't ruined and that it worked out great in the end!

Super happy for you! I read this thread a few days ago and was somewhat upset for you ;u;
It's great that it's fixed! Thanks for keeping us updated c:
