+The '''Spherical Atlas''' ({{j|スフィアマップ|Sufia Mappu|Sphere Map}})　is a treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a northern hemisphere of a {{w|globe}}; this being a representation of Earth suggests that [[PNF-404]] 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 [[Pikmin limit|one hundred]] weaker [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can carry. This is also the first cave Purple Pikmin are found in, on the same sublevel as the treasure. Before carrying the treasure, it is recommended to defeat the [[Snow Bulborb]]s nearby.
-The '''Spherical Atlas''' is a treasure found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. This item resembles the northern hemisphere of the [[Wikipedia:Globe|globe]] resembling [[wikipedia:Earth|Earth]]; this being a representation of Earth suggests that the [[Pikmin Planet]] is Earth. This heavy treasure is found on the last [[sublevel]] 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 one hundred weaker [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can carry. This is also the first cave Purple Pikmin and violet candypop buds 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 coordinates it provides the [[Hocotate ship]]. The day automatically ends as well. The [[Geographic Projection]] is also a globe half, this time a southern hemisphere; and it too unlocks a new area, the [[Perplexing Pool]].
-To obtain it, Olimar and Louie must defeat some [[Snow Bulborb]]s.

+==Model and texture==
+The Spherical Atlas is one of many treasures in ''Pikmin 2'' that differs in apperance between [[region]]s. Depending on the version of the game, the globe is rotated such that the model's "front" is of each version's respective continent. This causes the treasure's discovery cutscene, collection cutscene, and [[Treasure Hoard]] entry to focus on that continent by default. The [[Geographic Projection]] has a similar reigonal difference, centering Oceania in the European version, and South America in the American and Japanese versions. Since {{p2s}} is based on the North American version of ''Pikmin 2'' worldwide, North America faces forwards in all versions of the Nintendo Switch port.
-==Notes==
+[[File:Spherical Atlas region differences.jpg|thumb|center|600px|The treasure's discovery cutscene, in the Japanese, North American, and European versions of the game, respectively.]]
-===Olimar's Journal===
+The Treasure Hoard icon for this treasure is the same in all versions, and is centered over the Pacific Ocean. In the Nintendo Switch port however, the icon was changed to center North America, matching the treasure's orientation in-game. The highlight texture for this treasure's model is called <code>hilight_I4_bombsarai</code>, and is the same highlight texture used for the Geographic Projection and [[Careening Dirigibug]].
-''"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."''
-===The Ship's Diologue===
-====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!"''
+The globe depicts the world prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on {{date|25|December|1991}}. Although central Europe is hardly recognizable, the Baltic and central Asian states are clearly part of what is now the Russian Federation.
-''"Perhaps this can be used for something other than salvage."''
+{{Notes|journal=y|sale=y|ship=y}}
-''"But how will we ever lift it? I fear that even 100 red Pikmin will be unable to lift it!"''

-''"Error. I could only decode a portion of the data, but I did retrieve new geographic charts."''
+== Trivia ==
+*In the North American version of the ''New Play Control!'' game, with the language set to French, the upgrade this treasure gives is called "Carte Sphérique" (Spherical Map) in the [[Ship's dialogs]] and "Système Solaire" (Solar System) in the pause menu. Since another upgrade is also called "Système Solaire" (the [[Solar System]]), this is likely a [[mistake]].

-==Trivia==
-*The globe depicts the world as it appeared sometime before the German Reunification (East Germany can be seen). This occurred on October 3, 1990, slightly under 14 years before the release of ''Pikmin 2.''
-*The [[Exploration Kit]] ability that collecting this treasure gives you, the Spherical Atlas, originally was going to be called the Sphere Map.
