*The globe depicts the world prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991. Although central Europe is hardly recognizable, the Baltic and central Asian states are clearly part of what is now the Russian Federation. An odd design choice, considering the game did not start development until more than ten years later, yet the globe was not textured to show signs of aging as would be expected.
*Though Olimar's journal says that he is naming the Emergence Cave in commemoration  of discovering Purple Pikmin, the cave is named the Emergence Cave the first time the player enters.

*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 Spherical Atlas is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. This item resembles the northern hemisphere of the globe resembling 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 can carry. This is also the first cave Purple Pikmin and violet candypop buds are found in, on the same sublevel as the treasure.

To obtain it, Olimar and Louie must defeat some Snow Bulborbs.

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 co-ordinates it provides the S.S. Dolphin. The Geographic Projection is also a globe half, this time a southern hemisphere; and it too unlocks the Perplexing Pool.
