Imagine this: your dad gets drunk on space wine, accidentally destroys all the stars in the universe, and then tells you, his tiny, unsuspecting offspring, to fix it by rolling up objects on Earth until they become new stars. Makes sense? No? Good. That’s the spirit of Katamari Damacy.

A. The Prince (You!)

You’re a tiny green alien with a cylindrical head and the patience of a saint. Your job is to clean up your dad’s mess while he criticizes you.

B. The King of All Cosmos

Your father, who looks like a carnival float and talks like he’s been reading slam poetry at 3 AM. He’ll judge your work harshly, but deep down, he loves you. Probably.

C. Earthlings

The unwitting victims of your rolling spree. They scream, run, and sometimes wave their arms dramatically as you roll them into your katamari. You’ll feel bad for a second—then keep rolling.

The katamari is your trusty ball of adhesive absurdity. Its job? To stick to literally everything smaller than it. Here’s the hierarchy of objects:

1. Tiny Stuff: Thumbtacks, paperclips, and sadness.


2. Medium Stuff: Cats, chairs, screaming humans.


3. Big Stuff: Cars, buildings, your dad’s ego.


4. Ridiculous Stuff: Clouds, continents, the moon.

A. Controls: Mastering the Roll

The controls involve pushing the analog sticks together to move, turn, and freak out your katamari. It’s clunky, but that’s part of the charm.

Pro Tip: If you feel like you’re fighting the controls, you’re doing it right.


B. Momentum is King

Start small. You can’t roll up a skyscraper if your katamari is the size of a sandwich.

Once you’re big enough, nothing is safe. Trees? Yours. Airplanes? Also yours. That guy waving at you? Definitely yours.


C. Use the Dash

Flick the analog sticks back and forth to zoom like a caffeinated hamster. Warning: you will crash into things. Repeatedly.

After each level, the King will rate your katamari. His critiques range from “pathetically small” to “still not good enough.” Sometimes he’ll insult your height, your taste in objects, or your general existence. It’s motivational! (Sort of.)

Pro Tip: The King’s compliments are as rare as a katamari without a screaming human. Cherish them.

Each level takes place in increasingly bizarre environments filled with stuff to roll up. Here’s what to expect:

A. A House

You’ll start small, rolling up things like erasers, snacks, and mice. Avoid the cat. It’s not your friend yet.

B. A Neighborhood

Once you’re bigger, you can grab plants, fences, and that one kid who always trips over his own feet.

C. The World

By the endgame, you’ll be rolling through entire cities, collecting buildings, bridges, and eventually the clouds themselves.

Pro Tip: Roll up Godzilla if you find him. He’s worth a lot of points.

Your katamari isn’t just a ball of chaos; it’s a ball of style. Some objects are more valuable than others. Here’s what to look for:

Food: Tasty AND stackable. Double win.

Animals: Cows, dogs, and birds add character (and noise).

Humans: They scream a lot, but they’re good for padding out your katamari.

Weird Stuff: UFOs, rainbows, and other things that make you question the meaning of life.


Pro Tip: Rolling up things like crowns, jewels, and expensive items makes the King extra happy. He’s got high-class tastes.

You’ll unlock cousins as you play, each with their own unique look. They don’t do much except stand around looking weird, but hey, family is family.

Roll Smart: Plan your route. Don’t waste time trying to grab things too big for your katamari. It’s embarrassing.

Grow Fast: The bigger you get, the more fun you have. Also, you can roll over that annoying cat that bullied you earlier.

Embrace Chaos: Sometimes, you just have to bulldoze through crowds and hope for the best. The King understands. (He doesn’t.)

The music in Katamari Damacy REROLL is a masterpiece. From jazzy bops to upbeat J-pop, it’s the perfect backdrop to your rolling rampage. Pro Tip: Sing along loudly. The King would approve.

The Sneaky Roll: Wait for humans to calm down, then pounce. They never see it coming.

The Tower of Terror: Roll up tall objects to make your katamari a leaning monstrosity. It’s impractical but hilarious.

The Revenge Roll: Find that one object that kept knocking you around earlier. Show it who’s boss.

Rolling is life. If you can’t roll it up, it’s not worth your time.

Ignore the screams. They’re just Earthlings expressing themselves.

Have fun. Remember, you’re fixing the stars, one absurdly sticky ball at a time.


Now go, little Prince, and make your father proud! Or at least make him slightly less disappointed. Good luck, and happy rolling!
