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 land 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.


The region bears four caves, the Hole of Beasts, the White Flower Garden, the Bulblax Kingdom, and the Snagret Hole. The area also contains seven aboveground treasures, which sums up 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.

According to map: The landing site is to the southwest of the area. In the center is a pair of Burgeoning Spiderworts. To the north of the landing site is a small pool that can be crossed with bridges, and to the west is the Snagret Hole. Interestingly, this area corresponds with the area that the 3 Burrowing Snagrets are found in Pikmin. Finally, the Blue Onion is found in a watery area through an electric gate to the east.

Awakening Wood Overview


Blue Pikmin[]

Awakening Wood 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, you can call 5 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[]

Unlike the Perplexing Pool, the Awakening Wood undergoes minimal changes as days pass; after the 10th day spent on PNF-404, 3 10 pellets will spawn (for each of the 3 Pikmin with Onions) as well as a multicolor 20 pellet.

Trivia[]

  • The Awakening Wood was originally called the "Forest of Awakening."
  • The Awakening Wood has an almost identical layout to The Forest of Hope from the first Pikmin.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the stage named Distant Planet appears to depict the Awakening Wood in the background. Though it looks more reminiscent of The Forest of Hope, this can easily be doubted because there is a Cloaking Burrow-nit in the background.
