Editing Awakening Wood

The '''Awakening Wood''' ({{j|めざめの森|Mezame no Mori|Awakening Forest}}) is the second [[area]] in {{p2}}, set in a grassy garden. It contains four [[cave]]s, and seven overground [[treasure]]s worth a total of {{pokos|765}} in the US [[Region|version]] and the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version]], {{pokos|805}} in the European version, and {{pokos|735}} in the Japanese version. It is unlocked by retrieving the [[Spherical Atlas]] from the [[Emergence Cave]] in the [[Valley of Repose]]. Both [[White Pikmin|White]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] are first discovered here. Its terrain is based on [[The Forest of Hope]] from {{p1}}.

 

The Awakening Wood has many [[Pellet Posies]] and easy-to-defeat enemies, such as [[Female Sheargrub]]s and [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s. Harvesting these pellets and creatures is an excellent way to increase the Pikmin population, especially if one is trying to recover from a [[Pikmin extinction]]. More Pellet Posies will appear after the tenth day, growing very large pellets, including the game's only 20-pellet.

The area is Spring-themed, with grassy terrain, cherry blossoms and objects and features that might be found in a garden; the great number of [[Pellet Posie]]s make it arguably the best place to produce [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. These features, along with its layout, make the Awakening Wood very similar to [[The Forest of Hope]] from [[Pikmin (game)|the original ''Pikmin'']]. In fact, it ''is'' The Forest of Hope, as [[Olimar]] states that he explored this forest before, in his journal entry for the [[Geographic Projection]], but has now renamed it due to how much it changed.

The rest of the map is accessible from two locations – one is a central area that contains a pair of [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s that, once a black [[bramble gate]] is torn down, opens to the western (which is guarded by a [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]), eastern, and northern portions of the map. The other is over a small [[bridge]] that must be constructed which leads directly to the western portion of the map. The western region of the map is linear like a corridor and stretches from the north to the south. On the northernmost side of this corridor portion is the entrance to the [[Hole of Beasts]]. Following the path to the south leads to a moderately sized pond with pairs of [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s and bridges that can be built.

The southwestern portion of the map is at a higher ground level and, as such, can only be accessed by traveling through the western passage. It contains a [[Burrowing Snagret]] and the [[Snagret Hole]] inside of a tree trunk behind a white [[bramble gate]]. A few Pellet Posies, including one that yields a twenty-Pikmin pellet, grow on this region. The northeastern portion of the map is where the [[White Flower Garden]] lies and can be accessed after deflating a [[bag]]. Near the White Flower Garden behind an [[electric gate]] is a circular area that houses the [[Blue Onion]] and numerous Pellet Posies and [[Wolpole]]s. Traveling deeper through the northeastern portion, after taking down a poisoned bramble gate, yields access to the a portion of the map to the northeast of the landing site, after using a weighted [[seesaw block]]. This area contains a single purple [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] and a small tree stump that leads to the [[Bulblax Kingdom]]'s entrance, which is blocked by an electric gate. This area can also be accessed after destroying a black bramble gate in a tiny puddle to the north of the landing site. This puddle can [[clog|be drained]].

*The tree that the [[Healing Cask]] in the US version or the [[Hypnotic Platter]] in the European version are on has a root protruding onto the pathway, next to a [[bag]]; this root has a hole in it in the Piklopedia version of the area, but not in the in-game one. The same root in [[The Forest of Hope]] also has the same hole.
