Will we need to replay all levels in Mario Kart 7 for 3 stars, gold wheel, VR rating on the new 3DS XL

When the 3DS XL comes out, will we lose all the 3 stars rating, gold wheel, and VR score if we play MK 7 on the new console?

I heard in the past that the SD card won't be able to save those data, because it was worried that game players can just duplicate many SD cards that way. But is there some other way, for example, if 3DS can transfer data through WiFi (the StreetPass mechanism), then maybe there can be a way to either copy or move the game achievements to one and only one 3DS console? (or if each game player can log in, and retrieve those achievements on their console… and players usually won't share login with each other).

On page 3 of the Other Settings section of System Settings, you'll find an option called System Transfer. This lets you move all your stuff from one 3DS to another, including save data. This page has a bit more info. Note that you can only do this a limited number of times and all the data will be erased from the original 3DS.
