What is a BFWAV file?
A BFWAV file is an audio file saved in the Binary caFe WAVe (BFWAV) format used by various Nintendo Wii U and Switch games. It is similar to a .WAV file and consists of an INFO and DATA section that stores information about the sound and the actual sound data. BFWAV files may contain a sound effect or background music that is looped during gameplay.

NOTE: BFWAV files are used in a variety of games, including Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon 2.
