Presents, Cousins, and Classic Items Guide for Me And My Katamari By Tom “slo_bro” Batchelor Version 1.2 -Added one more answer in FAQ -Added pickup sizes for the Royals Version 1.1 -Removed silly notes about complete item guide -Added which animal leads you to which area -Added FAQ section (only one question so far) This guide lists, by area, all the game’s presents, cousins and rookies. (I bunched the rookies in with the cousins and simply called them cousins.) It also lists all that Yoda and I have found of the other objects which the King points out while you are playing, which are worth a ton of points in at least one category, and almost all of which are labelled as Classic items. (I simply called these classic objects. I don‘t know exactly which kind(s) of points each one scores big in, some might not score big at all, this you will have to experiment with.) (For more information on points and the game’s scoring system you will have to look elsewhere.) Images of all the listed classic objects can be found here: http://s9.invisionfree.com/Katamari_Damacy/index.php?showtopic=1214 Thanks to Yoda for these. THANK-YOUS: Thank you to ThirdCousin, who wrote a comprehensive guide to finding the cousins. Thank you to Yoda, who found most of the classic objects. Thank you to aaron for many of the cousin locations. If you have suggestions, additions, corrections, or any other comments you can e-mail me at sloobro@yahoo.com ... I welcome any help I can get. First I will list the area’s name, then a description to help you identify the area, then I will list the area’s present, cousins and classic objects.

There you can ask questions about katamari games, you can show off your artwork, and you can compete on the scoreboards, including one for Me And My Katamari. And of course you can generally lounge around, it is a fun and friendly place. Give it a try! Easiest ways to reach specific areas: Of course if you want, you can enter any of the areas as part of a normal play-through with a time limit. This could make it more exciting. But the easiest way is usually to take advantage of the Eternal mode, like this: 5cm-20cm areas, 20cm-1m50cm areas, 1m50cm-10m areas, and 10m-70m areas (in other words MOST AREAS) - Achieve a final score of 80 or more in the corresponding stage to earn its Eternal mode. Enter its Eternal mode, and keep restarting (pause then triangle) until you enter the right area. Corresponding stages: 5cm-20cm areas - Turtle stage 20cm-1m50cm areas - Canary stage 1m50cm-10m areas - Gold Bug stage 10m-70m areas - Cicada stage or Beetle stage 70m-500m areas - Achieve a final score of 80 or more in the Peacock stage to earn its Eternal mode. Enter its Eternal mode, and keep restarting (pause then triangle) until you enter the 10m-70m area that corresponds to the 70m-500m area you want. Corresponding areas: Radish Land corresponds to Rice State Potato Land corresponds to Corn State Zucchini Land corresponds to Wheat State NOTE: I am pretty sure that these are the only areas that correspond to a specific next area. In other words, you can’t tell which specific area you are headed to next by the area you are in now if you are in anything smaller than a 10m-70m area. 70m-1500m area - I’m no help here, you’ll have to play through the whole Royal Monument stage. FAQ: Q: If you collect Cousins, Gifts, and Classic Objects during Eternal Mode... do you keep them since you can't save your island? A: You keep them. Make sure that to exit you pause and then press Square. Q: How come you listed three areas as Turtle Stage Eternal? A: If you use one of the Eternals, and keep pausing and pressing Triangle, the game will keep rotating you through three different areas. Use the descriptions to find the area you need. But don't pause and then Triangle after collecting an object you need. If you collected an object you need, then make sure when you're done you pause and press Square to save the things you collected. Some classic objects from 10m-70m areas can be grabbed also in 70m-500m areas: Spiral Rock can be grabbed in the Rice State. Super Submarine can be grabbed in the Corn State. Pipe Organ can be grabbed in the Wheat State. Thanks for reading :) sloobro@yahoo.com
