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, and contains 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. During one point, Olimar says because of how much the Forest of Hope has changed, he changed its name to the Awakening Wood.

The region bears four caves and seven treasures in total, which sum to 765 Pokos in the NTSC version of Pikmin 2 and 805 Pokos in the PAL 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.

The landing site is at the southwest of the area. To the east are some Pellet Posies, and in the middle (the landing site on the previous game) are 2 Burgeoning Spiderworts. To the south lies the Bulblax Kingdom and the White Flower Garden, though they can only be accessed from the east. To the southeast is where the blue Pikmin are first found. The Hole of Beasts is at the map's Northeast. Finally, to the Northwest is the Snagret Hole.
