At least I got to listen to the pleasant song in the last segment while there was prolonged silence. It was to the point that the short moments of commentary felt out of place.

As a player you'd mainly want to check it if you were aiming to complete your collection or name list and wanted to be sure you got a specific item. In this level, if you were just learning it you'd probably also check to confirm whether or not what you rolled up was a twin, but if you were going for a high percentage you'd probably focus more on learning the locations of twins and not bother checking the collection display.

Katamari Damacy was added to noclip.website in April 2019 or so, after a lot of reverse engineering by two others (Murugo and umbreon), and I. I'd love to get object paths & animations added to the site, but nobody has been able to figure out those pieces (yet! A few people have been poking at it lately!)General_Urist wrote: ↑3 years ago Omigosh this is AWESOME! Only flaw is that it can't show the weird trajectories stuff sometimes flies around on. When did you make this, out of curiosity?
Any chance that site will include the other Katamari games in the future?
Someone's been poking at getting We Love Katamari added, but nothing conclusive yet I don't think. Here's a random screenshot they sent a few days ago https://i.imgur.com/kRcZipU.jpg
Also if you want a fun fact, we found that some objects are randomized. I think this is MAS2? The rice bowl here can either be a red or a blue bowl. If you spot a collection of random objects in a corner or underground somewhere on the site, that's just where random objects are stored before one of them is placed in the right spot.

It is the worst
It took me...a week on and off to get the right bear?
I mean, this level
and Make Taurus
is a very interesting and clever idea: Instead of gathering as many X as you can, it becomes "Find the Biggest X." Moreover, by switching this objective and changing the layout so that getting any type of X triggers the end of a level, you've completely changed the game's dynamics so that you have to now closely pay attention to what's around you rather than just going about wantonly. It turns into an obstacle course, which is really neat.The problem is the execution:
- KD's controls aren't particularly great for precise movement, which means it's extremely easy to screw up just because you lost control of the katamari at just the wrong moment.
- The instant end-of-level effect means resetting takes way too much time when you screw up.
- It's not immediately 100% clear what the biggest X is.
This becomes a problem in Make Taurus because the biggest cow is actually hidden and requires a very arbitrary method of reaching it.
- In the case of Make Ursa Major, there's the additional problem of the biggest bear
being a rocket bear that not only wrecks you if you get in its way, but immediately panics and turns around when you get big enough to capture it, and simply moves too fast to capture normally
. This presents a new problem with the controls in thatyou must use the dash to capture the Rocket Bear, which as we have seen, is a very finicky and awkward move to perform, and you have to do so in a way that doesn't cause you to immediately hit another bear object on accident

So this level is quite a thing, although going into it the first time I was amused when I started the level, and then it ended a mere five seconds later when, not knowing about the gimmick, I casually rolled up a bear. I did go back and do some more attempts to get a better bear, but I think I also ended up settling for just a medium sized bear.

Make Taurus
is the worse of the two, but Ursa Major can be super stressful and frustrating due to the constant car traffic (and how far they make you fly). Though they're both much easier thanCowbear
in the next game. Thankfully you can quickly skip through the King's dialogue after every attempt.Make Gemini is probably my least favorite Constellation stage, and the only one I've never completed.

I know there's two different Holy Cows in the stage, though which one are you referring to? One of them is hidden in a small forest but while it's a pain to get to come out, you just have to roll up the hill to it once you're big enough. Granted it's a leap of faith after that but at least getting there is pretty easy.

I had to deal with the Cowbear level in Touch My Katamari, somehow I managed that without going insane. But perhaps the PS Vita affords a slightly finer degree of control than the original game.
