Offset Size Description
0x00 4 File Magic. Always RKWD in ASCII.
0x04 2 Unknown. Always 0x0001. Maybe version of the WAD file?
0x06 2 Padding? Always 0x0000.
0x08 4 Size of RevoKartNR.wad (in bits?), located in the game's CHANNEL partition.

For the NTSC-U release, the value stored here is 0x0271000D, which will result in ~79 blocks.
