[[File:Sphericalatlas.jpg|frame|Concept art of the treasure.]]
The '''Spherical Atlas''' ({{j|スフィアマップ|Sufia Mappu|Sphere Map}})　is a treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a northern hemisphere of a {{w|globe}}; this being a representation of Earth suggests that [[PNF-404]] is Earth. This heavy treasure is found on the last sublevel (2) of the [[Emergence Cave]] in the [[Valley of Repose]]. It requires at least one [[Purple Pikmin]] on it to lift it, as it weighs 101 units, more than 100, the maximum weight [[Pikmin limit|one hundred]] weaker [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can carry. This is also the first cave Purple Pikmin are found in, on the same sublevel as the treasure. Before carrying the treasure, it is recommended to defeat the [[Snow Bulborb]]s nearby.

When this treasure has been retrieved, the [[Sphere Chart]], part of the [[Exploration Kit]], is unlocked, granting access to the [[Awakening Wood]]. This is made possible through the coordinates it provides the [[Hocotate ship]]. The day automatically ends as well. The [[Geographic Projection]] is also a globe half, this time a southern hemisphere; and it too unlocks a new area, the [[Perplexing Pool]].
To get it, Olimar and Louie must defeat some [[Snow Bulborb]]s.

==Model and texture==
{{notes|treasure}}
The Spherical Atlas is one of many treasures in ''Pikmin 2'' that differs in apperance between [[region]]s. Depending on the version of the game, the globe is rotated such that the model's "front" is of each version's respective continent. This causes the treasure's discovery cutscene, collection cutscene, and [[Treasure Hoard]] entry to focus on that continent by default. The [[Geographic Projection]] has a similar reigonal difference, centering Oceania in the European version, and South America in the American and Japanese versions. Since {{p2s}} is based on the North American version of ''Pikmin 2'' worldwide, North America faces forwards in all versions of the Nintendo Switch port.
 
[[File:Spherical Atlas region differences.jpg|thumb|center|600px|The treasure's discovery cutscene, in the Japanese, North American, and European versions of the game, respectively.]]
 
The Treasure Hoard icon for this treasure is the same in all versions, and is centered over the Pacific Ocean. In the Nintendo Switch port however, the icon was changed to center North America, matching the treasure's orientation in-game. The highlight texture for this treasure's model is called <code>hilight_I4_bombsarai</code>, and is the same highlight texture used for the Geographic Projection and [[Careening Dirigibug]].
 
The globe depicts the world prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on {{date|25|December|1991}}. Although central Europe is hardly recognizable, the Baltic and central Asian states are clearly part of what is now the Russian Federation.

=== Olimar's journal (Nintendo Switch) ===
{{Transcript|The purple Pikmin were somehow able to carry this massive treasure. Today, we measured their physical strength using the ship's onboard beefometer. It seems that they have 10 times the weight and physical power of any other Pikmin. When I throw them, they land with a resounding thud. I've decided to commemorate the cave I first encountered them in by naming it Emergence Cave.|block=y}}

== Trivia ==
*In the North American version of the ''New Play Control!'' game, with the language set to French, the upgrade this treasure gives is called "Carte Sphérique" (Spherical Map) in the [[Ship's dialogs]] and "Système Solaire" (Solar System) in the pause menu. Since another upgrade is also called "Système Solaire" (the [[Solar System]]), this is likely a [[mistake]].
