The Spherical Atlas is a treasure in the game Pikmin 2. It is a northern hemisphere of a globe; this being a representation of Earth suggests that the Pikmin planet 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 100 weaker Pikmin can carry. This is also the first cave Purple Pikmin are found in, on the same sublevel as the treasure.
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 co-ordinates it provides the ship. The Geographic Projection is also a globe half, this time a southern hemisphere; and it too unlocks a new area (Perplexing Pool).

Trivia
- The globe depicts the world prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991. Although central Europe is hardly recognizable, the Baltic and central Asian states are clearly part of what is now the Russian Federation. An odd design choice, considering the game did not start development until more than ten years later, yet the globe was not textured to show signs of aging as would be expected.
