What is a KWZ file?

A KWZ file is a 3D animation created by Flipnote Studio 3D, a free animation app available for the Nintendo 3DS. It consists of several frames that contain three separate layers of artwork, and it also typically includes audio. KWZ files are most often stored on Nintendo 3DS SD cards, in a sub-directory of the /​private/​Nintendo 3DS/​app folder.
