Super ZZ Zero is a game engine that has several associated file formats. The world file is a Hamster archive containing everything used by the specific game being played, and the file name usually ends with .sz0. Many of the lumps use DER format.

The first nine bytes are always 21 53 5A 30 00 00 00 07 00 (this is the beginning of a lump named !SZ0 which is seven bytes long). The next byte following that (i.e. the first byte of the data of the !SZ0 lump) specifies a subtype:

• 00 for a save game
• 01 for a unpublished world
• 03 for a published world (currently unused)
