[[Areas]] have background shadows that are large textures, just like in the previous game, and these shadows sway but do not effect shading in any way. However, now that plants either cast their own shadows or none at all, background shadows do not have to account for the locations of plants in the area, and can add more interest to the look of the environment. | [[Areas]] have background shadows that are large textures, just like in the previous game, and these shadows sway but do not effect shading in any way.

In [[cave]]s, light is very limited, and sometimes completely absent beyond a certain distance, due to very dark distance fog. Objects are still shaded by some dynamic light to give them depth, but they are barely or not visible until a [[leader]] comes close enough with the static area light around them. This static light's radius, color, and brightness vary by sublevel, depending on what mood is being set. Once the [[Upgrade#Solar System|Solar System]] is obtained, however, caves are always fully illuminated and everything is visible. Some sublevels behave this way anyway, such as metal or outdoor areas where backgrounds are visible, and the [[Glutton's Kitchen#Sublevel 6|final sublevel of the Glutton's Kitchen]].

The [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] in ''Pikmin 2'' is unique in that it simulates a full continuous cycle of lighting including nighttime. During night lighting, ambient light is very dim and darkly blue. Objects still remain shaded and cast simple shadows, but generally colors are darker and duller. Once morning comes around sunlight gradually increases fog color advances from blue to purple back to a faint green, when sunlight finally brings the color balance back to its usual daylight look. | The [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] in ''Pikmin 2'' is unique in that it simulates a full continuous cycle of lighting including nighttime.
