'''MSBP''' ('''M'''essage'''S'''tudio '''B'''inary '''P'''roject) is a file format used in games such as [[New Super Mario Bros U]], [[Super Mario Odyssey]], [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]], [[Mario Kart 8]], [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]] and [[Super Mario Party]]. It is used along with [[MSBT]] for the text in-game. MSBP seems to store different text styles, which is used to render the text.

= File Format =
== File Header ==
The file starts with the following header:

{{MSB Header|MsgPrjBn}}

== CLR1 ==
The '''CLR1''' section stores colors, in RGBA8 format. The section starts with the following header:

{|class="wikitable"
! Offset !! Type !! Description
|-
| 0x00 || Char[4] || '''Section magic'''. Always ''CLR1'' in ASCII.
|-
| 0x04 || UInt32 || '''Section size''' (starting from 0x10).
|-
| 0x08 || Byte[8] || {{Unknown-left|'''Unknown'''. Always 0.}}
|-
