Katamari Damacy/Walkthrough

If there's no save files, you will be prompted to start a save file on your memory card, after which you will be taken directly to the tutorial.

If there is a save file, you will be presented with 3 save slots and a new game option. To choose one of the options, roll your ball forward like in the game.

 * Level: House
 * Starting size: 5cm0mm
 * Target size: 10cm0mm
 * Time: Unlimited
 * Comet Time: Unknown (N/A?)

This is the beginner's level. Get a feel for the game, enjoy yourself, and learn how to play Katamari Damacy. You are confined to the dining room (possibly a bedroom) in this level. You start off on the table. It is actually possible to get to 10cm without leaving the table, but you gain more understanding of the game if you roll around on the floor as well. It's important to gain a feel of what you can and can't pick up because it's the key to making the largest katamaris possible.

After completion of this level you are given another short tutorial consisting of 4 animations warning you of what you can and can't do with your katamari. After this you are given the option to view the tutorial again.

You are then taken to the menu system of Katamari Damacy.

You start out in the same room. Eventually you will have access to a closet and the backyard. Start off by getting up to 7cm by picking up pachinko balls. Once up to 7cm, find the orange pieces to get up to about 10cm. Once at 10cm, go to the corner with all the blocks and frogs and pick them all up. Roll into the backyard, go left and follow the path around the garden. Pick up the knives and socks. This should put you pretty close to your goal. To get to 20cm, roll up some magnets and toy guns. Using this method, a time of under 2 minutes is possible.
