What is a BAGST file?
A BAGST file is an audio settings file used by a Nintendo Wii U or Switch video game. It controls a group of in-game audio files' volumes and other settings.
More Information
Many Nintendo-developed games for the Wii U and Switch use an audio framework known as AAL. Some of these games include:
- The Splatoon series
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- The Super Mario Maker series
- ARMS
Games that use AAL store audio and audio-related data in a variety of proprietary file formats, including the BAGST format. Each BAGST file controls certain settings for a related group of audio files (such as a group of in-game sound effects or a group of in-game songs). These settings include the audio's default volume, pitch, limiter and ducker settings, and more.
How to open a BAGST file
BAGST files are not meant to be opened by players. Nintendo video games that use BAGST files load and apply settings from them as needed.
