The Awakening Wood level is an 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 is Spring-themed, with grassy terrain, cherry blossoms, and objects and features that might be found in a garden; the great number of Pellet Posies make it arguably the best place to produce Pikmin. These features, along with its layout, make the Awakening Wood very similar to The Forest of Hope from the original 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 area bears four caves and seven treasures in total, which sum to 765 Pokos in the US version of Pikmin 2 and 805 Pokos in the European version. It is also the location of the first Blue and White Pikmin in the game, both of which are required to reach further areas.

General layout

The landing site is at the east of the area. To the south are some Pellet Posies, and in the center, which corresponds to the landing site in the previous game are 2 Burgeoning Spiderworts. To the north of the landing site lies the Bulblax Kingdom and the White Flower Garden, though they can only be accessed from the west. To the north is where the blue Pikmin are first found. The Hole of Beasts is at the map's northwest. Finally, to the southwest is the Snagret Hole.

Blue Pikmin

The area where Blue Pikmin are found.

Blue Pikmin are found in the Awakening Wood. They are located near the White Flower Garden behind an electric gate, which must be taken down by Yellow Pikmin. Once the fence is taken down, the player can call the five Blue Pikmin, and use five 1 pellets, one 5 pellet, and 3 Wogpoles to populate them from the get-go.

This is where the Armored Cannon Beetle resided in Pikmin.

Changes over time

After day 10, there will be three 10 pellet Pellet Posies &nash; one for each of the 3 primary color Pikmin – and one 20 pellet Pellet Posy that changes color periodically.
