What is an AST file?
An AST file is an audio file used in a Nintendo Wii video game. It contains in-game music. AST files are most notably used by Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
The AST file format is one of many proprietary file formats Nintendo uses to store in-game music. Those who rip the contents of their Wii game discs or explore Wii-related forums are most likely to encounter AST files, extracted from certain Wii video games. A variety of Super Mario Galaxy's AST files, for example, can be found online.
How to open an AST file
While most popular media players cannot open AST files, various player-created utilities allow gamers to convert AST files to more common audio formats, such as .MP3 and .WAV. For example, you can use astConverter (Windows) to convert AST files to the MP3, WAV, or .OGG format.
