There is a format in PowerStar.arc (And in many other objects) called PowerStarColor.bva.
.bva files may be texture files, and they probably are. Plus, I'm trying to find where the Green Power Star models loads into the game, and stumbled on this. The green star model is NOT /ObjectData/GreenStar.arc because it doesn't exist. BMDView doesn't support this, nor does the bcsv editor.
Any suggestions?

IDK what it is, but I already found this a LONG time ago in MarioAnime

I can tell that it controls colors but in what way, IDK.
It's a lot like jpa files.

J3D1bva1... ....ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
0x00 magic (4)
0x04 header (4)
0x08 End of file offset (4)
0x0C number of sections (4)
Then I assume 16 bytes of padding.

VAF1.....ÿ.»...¼... ...DThis is
0x20 Magic (4)
0x24 unknown1 (4)
0x28-0x2F - Could be 4 sections of 2 bytes or 2 sections of 4 bytes.
0x30 Unknown2
0x34 Unknown3
Then 8 bytes of padding.
That is all the header data

If you got this, it's not a hex editor. Or it's a very weird one.

It's a lot like jpa files.

BVA files looks nothing like JPA files.

To elaborate a little on the VAF1 section:

Offset[/td]	Size[/td]	Description[/td][/tr]
0x00[/td]	4[/td]	Magic ("VAF1")[/td][/tr]
0x04[/td]	4[/td]	Section size[/td][/tr]
0x08[/td]	1[/td]	Unknown[/td][/tr]
0x09[/td]	1[/td]	Padding (0xFF)[/td][/tr]
0x0A[/td]	2[/td]	Unknown[/td][/tr]
0x0C[/td]	2[/td]	Number of entries in the first subsection[/td][/tr]
0x0E[/td]	2[/td]	Number of entries in the second subsection[/td][/tr]
0x10[/td]	4[/td]	Offset to first subsection[/td][/tr]
0x14[/td]	4[/td]	Offset to second subsection[/td][/tr]

The entries in the first subsection are 4 bytes structures (not completely sure about this):

Offset[/td]	Size[/td]	Description[/td][/tr]
0x00[/td]	2[/td]	Number of consecutive entries in the second subsection associated with this entry[/td][/tr]
0x02[/td]	2[/td]	First entry in the second subsection associated with this entry[/td][/tr]

The entries in the second subsection is simply bytes. They seem to only take on the values 0 and 1, so they might be boolean values.
