Editing Awakening Wood

|screenshot        = AW man made.png

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

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 (Pikmin 2)|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:

*To the left of where the bridge that would grant access to the [[Bulblax Kingdom]] would be, there is a wall. [[:File:P2_PiklopediaAW_BK_LevelDesignDifference.png|This wall is not beveled in this version of the map.]] This distinction is typically only present for the terrain under bridges. The carrying paths for this Piklopedia area show unusual routing that leads from the top of the wall where the Bulblax Kingdom is to the lower ground, so it is likely a bridge was originally planned to be there.

*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. With some effort, it is possible to walk up the twig and get to the higher ground.

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

*The pathway leading up to the White Flower Garden is no longer grassy.

*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.

*One cluster of petals behind the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]'s pot is placed slightly differently, in a spot where an ramp previously was.

*The shadow projection is more sharper, is black instead of being tinted blue, and it is missing some branch shadows in the landing area. The shadows over the pathway leading to the Hole Of Beasts and the [[Healing Cask]]'s stump has been made less darker, while the shadows on the ledge near the gate leading to the Blue Onion has been made darker.

 

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.
