DCK files, likely standing for Demo Cutscene Keyframes, are an interpolated keyframed animation format in Pikmin. They can only be found within the BUN file format.

File structure[edit]

DCK header
Offset Size Purpose

Offset Size Purpose
0x08 4 Amount of scaling values
0x0C 0x08 value Scaling value
Rotation
Offset Size Purpose
0x0? 4 Amount of rotation values
0x0? 0x0? value Rotation value
Translation
Offset Size Purpose
0x0? 4 Amount of translation values
0x0? 0x0? value Translation value
DCK joint
Offset Size Purpose
0x00 4 Index of the joint
0x04 4 Parent of the joint
