The Spherical Atlas is a treasure found in Pikmin 2 that is actually the northern hemisphere of a globe resembling Earth. It is found on the 2nd sublevel of the Emergence Cave. It requires at least one Purple Pikmin on it to lift it, as it weighs 101 units. When this treasure has been retrieved, it grant access to the Awakening Wood. It is the 184th treasure on the List of Pikmin 2 treasures.
Notes[]
Captain Olimar's Journal[]
"The purple Pikmin were somehow able to carry this massive treasure. Today, we measured their physical strength using the ship's onboard beefometer. It seems that they have ten times the weight and physical power of any other Pikmin. When I throw them, they land with a resounding thud. I've decided to commemorate the cave I first encountered them in by naming it Emergence Cave."
Sales Pitch[]
"The surface designs on this item are the map of a savage planet. This alone makes it valuable... But that is not all! Embedded within is a microchip filled with secret, incredibly detailed data. With this item, you'll know everything about this, that, and the other thing, too."
When found[]
"It's inconceivable that such an immense object has been buried here for so long."
"The design on the outer shell resembles the surface of the planet as seen from space!"
"Perhaps this can be used for something other than salvage."
"But how will we ever lift it? I fear that even 100 red Pikmin will be unable to lift it!"
When collected[]
"There is a device resembling a microchip embedded inside this sphere. Retrieving data..."
"Error. I could only decode a portion of the data, but I did retrieve new geographic charts."
"I will input this data into my planetary database and name it the Sphere Chart."
"Press Start/Pause/+ to contact me and go to the Exploration Kit on the radar screen by pressing L/Left on the D-Pad."
"Now that we have this new data, you should explore the decoded territory tomorrow."
Trivia[]
- The globe depicts the world as it appeared sometime before the German Reunification as East Germany can be seen on it. This occurred on October 3, 1990, slightly under 14 years before the release of Pikmin 2.
