Editing Awakening Wood

|screenshot        = AW man made.png

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]]. This area is also mentioned to be [[The Forest of Hope]] from {{p1}}. Olimar even makes notes to how much it has changed since his last visit, hence why he renamed it. 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 west 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 south 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, and a Burgeoning Spiderwort that only appears on day 11 and beyond.

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 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 two [[Yellow Wollywog]]s and two 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 20-Pikmin pellet, grow on this region. The northeastern 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]]. 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]] behind 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]].

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 wall right next to the [[seesaw block]]s that are close to the White Flower Garden has a small alcove. There is also a twig that overlaps the location of the seesaw blocks.

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

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

*The section that contains the [[Hole of Beasts]] has much less petals on the ground.

*The pot with the [[Pilgrim Bulb]] and the pot near it have more or less swapped heights, and there is no ramp that allows access to the northernmost pot. Instead of a ramp, there is a [[:File:Piklopedia raised edge.PNG|slightly raised edge]]. The carrying paths for this Piklopedia area show unusual routing that leads from the plot that had the [[Sagittarius]] in {{p1}} to the edge's plot of land, so it is likely a bridge was originally planned to be there.

 

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.
