Badge Arcade plays actions and formats text with what I like to call, “tags”. Tags are a collection of hex bytes, and these tags can be placed inside of text to color or scale text, and play animations on Badge Bunny.

Nintendo Badge Arcade uses <code>MSBT</code> files for Badge Bunny's dialog and animations
  
−
These tags are used for the MSBT text inside of <code>boss.sarc</code>.

This page will only cover <code>MSBT</code> control tags specific to Nintendo Badge Arcade. For more details on <code>MSBT</code> files in general, refer to https://github.com/kinnay/Nintendo-File-Formats/wiki/MSBT-File-Format and https://mk8.tockdom.com/wiki/MSBT_(File_Format)
