	~~Needs some research~~. ~~Tho I~~ can ~~reliably say that the tennis racket sound is~~ unused.		The following Speaker Sounds are not referenced in game code and thus remain unused. Note that Speaker Sounds referenced in code can also end up unused, but those are more difficult to research.

'''CSW''' ('''C'''ontroller '''S'''peaker '''W'''ave) files contain sound data that is played through the Wii Remote Speaker. They are linked to [[BCT (File Format)|BCT files]]. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' each contain only one CSW file, located in <code>AudioRes/SpkRes/SpkRes.arc/bin/spkwave.csw</code>.

== File specifications ==
CSW files don't seem to contain a header. Instead they directly start with a table.
=== Sound offset table ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Offset
! Type
! Description
|-
| 0x0
| UInt32 (0x4)
| Size of the file in bytes
|-
| 0x4
| UInt32 (0x4)
| Amount of sounds
|-
| 0x8 + N * 4
| UInt32 (0x4)
| Offset to [[CSW (File Format)#Sound data|sound data]]
|}

The rest of the section is padded to the nearest 0x20.

=== Sound data ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Offset
! Type
! Description
|-
| 0x0
| UInt32 (0x4)
| Size of wave data in bytes
|-
| 0x4
| UInt32 (0x4)
| Loop start in samples, 0xFFFF when no loop
|-
| 0x8
| UInt32 (0x4)
| Loop end in samples, 0xFFFF when no loop
|-
| 0xC
|
| Wave data
|}

The rest of the file is padded to the nearest 0x20.

== Unused Speaker Sounds ==
Needs some research. Tho I can reliably say that the tennis racket sound is unused.
