<ul>
<li>Levels use SARC files. Gericom's file-opener and RoadrunnerWMC's NSMB2 editor will be able to unpack them. WiiUExplorer/related source code/SARCUnpack might be able to unpack them, but not in the current state.
<li>Ninjifox has made a proof-of-concept version of Reggie! Mod that can view NSMB2 levels. It<li>Lighting is not going to be released! But he has done something that somebody could also do, even if he is not makingbased on the stuff public.

<li>There are some [url=http://el-zappy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/3ds-x-and-y.html]BCTEX[/url] textures.
<li>Messages use MSBT. They can be read in a hex editor.
<li>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). CGFX files can be opened in 3DSExplorer, [url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140907084136/http://www.brawlcustommusic.com/~soneek/3ds/]cgfx2obj[/url] and soon - gericoms new multi-file-format tool.
<li>Music streams are BCSTM can be played/converted with foobar + vgmstream or just converted with vgmstream. But the 'gold' sound cannot be disabled.
