BARC files are a file format used in some games using the JAudio sound engine, such as Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine. These files contain all of the music sequences used in the game.

In Pikmin, the BARC file is named pikiseq.arc, and is located in dataDir/SndData/Seqs. The header of the BARC, pikiseq.hed is embedded in the game's DOL, though if it is not found there, it will load the file from the disc.
