[spoiler=RVLution Thread First Post]

Levels use SARC files. Ninjifox and Skawo have been able to modify Reggie to read NSMB2 levels, but aren't planning to release it. However, Roadrunner is working on a version that he does plan to release.

There are some BCTEX textures.

Messages use MSBT. They can be read in a hex editor.

Models use BCRES which has a CGFX in the header. It may be a 3DS version of the Wii's BRRES or a CGFX file (you don't say).

Music streams are BCSTM can be played/converted with foobar + vgmstream or just converted with vgmstream. But the 'gold' sound cannot be disabled.

Star Coin is sprite 219. The Coin Number setting nybble has changed. It can still trigger events.

Note Blocks are tileset objects, not sprites.

Stack of Goombas is sprite 139.

Koopa is sprite 165. The Color nybble has changed.

Checkpoint Flag is 52. It appears that the Entrance ID setting uses the same nybble as in NSMBW. There's also another setting?

Sprite 57 spawns coins. Two of these sprites are used in 1-1, underneath the Star Coin trapped in Brick Blocks. It has a ton of settings.

Pipe Cannon is sprite 66. It has at least two settings.

Backgrounds are now referenced by name, not by an ID number. 1-1 uses a background called 'Nohara_Castle" for both Scenery and Backdrop.

Sprite 22 is Special Exit Controller.

Sprite 273 is a 30-coins block.
