The '''Awakening Wood''' ({{j|めざめの森|Mezame no Mori|Forest of Awakening}}) is an [[areas|area]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the second in the game, and can be accessed after retrieving the [[Spherical Atlas]] from the [[Emergence Cave]] in the [[Valley of Repose]]. The area bears four [[cave]]s and seven [[treasure]]s in total, which sum to {{pokos|765}} in the US [[Region|version]] of ''Pikmin 2'' and {{pokos|805}} in the European version. It is also the location of the first [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]] and [[White Pikmin]] in the game, both of which are required to reach further areas.

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 the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]. [[Olimar]] also 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 ship and the [[Onion]]s land in the southwestern portion of the map. To the north of the landing site is an open area containing a single [[Red Bulborb]] and some [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s. Near the puddle of water in this area is a small flower pot that is home to an [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]]. To the west of the landing site is a small area that contains several flower pots and a small natural ramp that leads to the top of the pots. This area has numerous [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] as well as several benign [[Female Sheargrub]]s.

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

The western portion of the map is at a higher ground level and, as such, can only be accessed by traveling through the northern 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 20-Pikmin pellet, grow on this region. The eastern portion of the map is accessed after deflating a [[paper bag]]. Behind it is the [[White Flower Garden]]. Near the White Flower Garden behind an [[electric gate]] is a circular area that houses the [[Blue Onion]] and numerous Pellet Posies and [[Wogpoles]]. Travelling through the eastern portion, after taking down a poisoned bramble gate, yields access to the southern portion of the map 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]] behind an electric gate. The southern area can also be accessed after destroying a black bramble gate in a tiny puddle to the east of the landing site. This puddle can [[clog|be drained]].

The central area of the map contains two [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s that produce [[Ultra-spicy spray|red berries]] as well as housing a few [[Honeywisp]]s. A [[Ultra-bitter spray|purple berry-yielding]] Burgeoning Spiderwort can be found on the ledge that has the stump that leads to the [[Bulblax Kingdom]]. On the western-most ledge of the map after ten days have passed there will be three 10 pellet Pellet Posies; one for each [[Red Pikmin|primary]] [[Yellow Pikmin|Pikmin]] [[Blue Pikmin|types]]; and one 20 pellet Pellet Posy that periodically cycles through the three primary colors. The [[Onion|Blue Onion]] can be found in a large pool on the eastern side of the map.

By placing [[Hocotate ship|the ship]] icon on the Awakening Wood in the [[Menu#Area selection|area selection menu]], the [[Piklopedia]] and the [[Treasure Hoard]] will take place in the Awakening Wood, although it is actually a slightly different version of the area. The following differences can be noted:

 

*The small lake to the west of the landing site is absent; it's just a straight pathway.

*The wall right next to the [[seesaw block]]s that are close to the [[White Flower Garden]] has a small alcove.

*The bit of the terrain where the White Flower Garden is is a pond.

*The large lake at the north of the area is missing.

*The tree where the [[Snagret Hole]] is is absent.

 

Interestingly, 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 [[paper 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.
