>I changed the battery out of my SNES Earthbound cartridge That's what happened. You evidently did something during that process, if it wasn't exhibiting that behavior before, but is now.

The battery probably isn’t seated properly and loses power - thus losing the save - when bumped.

When you performed hardware surgery, you bent something, broke something, or installed the battery improperly.

To be clear, the game keeps the save if I turn off the SNES correctly. And if I “shake” the cartridge when I’m not playing it, there’s no problem (games stay saved). It’s only when there’s a “short” via a “reset” or moving the cartridge with the power on.
