The '''Wistful Wild''' ({{j|のぞみの大地|Nozomi no Daichi|Land of Wishes}}) is an [[area]] that can be accessed in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''; it is made available once the [[Hocotate Freight]] company's debt has been fully repaid. The design of this area appears to be a combination of [[The Impact Site]] and [[The Final Trial]] from ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. It contains three [[cave]]s and five [[treasures]] above the surface which total a value of {{pokos|3175}} in treasure, or {{pokos|13285}} including treasures found in caverns ({{pokos|13275}} in the European [[Region|version]] of the game). It is also a representation of Autumn. Contents of the region include two large lakes, one of which can be [[clog|drained]] and the other a [[bridge]] built over; a clearing with three [[Randomness|random]]-typed [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s; and decorating it are rusted metal structures, tree stumps and [[Foxtail]]s, and a half-visible yield sign where the Onions land.

Every 30 days from day 1, one can see some [[Ujadani|weird insects]] in this location, appearing as swarms of very small orange bugs. They release poison occasionally if attacked, and have an extremely small amount of [[HP|health]]; each one drops a blob of [[nectar]] or [[spray]] when killed. They are found in two locations: outside Dream Den, and by Hole of Heroes. This area is by far the hardest in the game.

==Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard==
[[File:WistfulWildComparison.png|thumb|right|Comparison between the two visible level models. Note the slight differences in shape.]]
When the [[Hocotate ship]]'s icon is placed on top of the Wistful Wild and the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] or the [[Treasure Hoard]] are entered, the archives will be seen on a different model which has identical level design to the one used in the in-game Wistful Wild, in contrast to what happens with the other areas, which have some notable differences. 
The most obvious difference between the in-game Wistful Wild and the Piklopedia version is a change in background theme; while the Wistful Wild version takes place in an autumn-themed forest plain with some stumps, the version used in both the Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard is situated between a dense bamboo forest and an actual autumn forest with actual, modeled, trees. A lone leaf on a stump at the pathway separating the section with the [[Anti-hiccup Fungus]] and the section with the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s is also positioned slightly differently, over the poisonous black gate that would be present in the in-game area. The red leaves seen during the landing cutscene are absent.

The only noteworthy difference in the general level design aside from the background is that the pathway separating the section with the [[Anti-hiccup Fungus]] and the section with the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s is a bit tighter in the Piklopedia variant.

==Trivia==
*It is possible for a [[leader]] to get up onto the wall borders of the map via several enemies, including the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]] and [[Watery Blowhog]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E62Ku-Q-it0&feature=related This video] shows how much of the area can be explored there.
*The YIELD sign that makes up the starting arena is actually a Stop sign in the Japanese version, likely to spend less time remodeling the sign since stop signs in Japan are triangular in shape.{{cite web|http://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Version_Differences#Yield_Sign|Pikmin 2/Version Differences|The Cutting Room Floor}}
*The "start" and "end" of the area are the same as the locations of the final and first [[ship part]]s in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', respectively.
*The Wistful Wild is the only area in ''Pikmin 2'' to not have an above-ground [[boss]] fight of any kind.
*The Wistful Wild was originally going to be called the "Land of Promise", as seen in the early English script left inside the game.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script#Names|Pikmin 2/Early English Script|The Cutting Room Floor|retrieved={{date|31|July|2017}}}}It is possible that it was changed due to the religious connotation. This name is retained in all other language versions, however (see [[#Names in other languages|here]]).
*In the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' port, it is possible to destroy the water [[clog]] before taking down the bramble gate. This can be achieved by throwing Pikmin to the edge north of the clog, then using the [[group move]] function to guide them to the lake. Then, they can be guided to the northwest of the clog using some more group moving commands, and finally, they can be dismissed, remotely whistled, and guided east by a leader standing near the gate looking at the gate. They can then be dismissed on the clog.{{cite youtube|KVHNcZalKRc|showing how to destroy the clog without breaking the gate in ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2''}}
*The rusty metal bowl that contains the landing site of the area is actually a sideways tire rim, as confirmed in the filename of the texture used for the tire rim: <code>last_wheel_s3tc</code>
