From Gamefaqs:

These are basically the level of "completion" for a stage.
Clear: If you succeed at the mission, the King will put your Katamari into theheavens, creating a planet.

Great-Clear: If you do particularly well, the planet will glow. Behind the planet will be a soft, coloured glow.

Super-Clear: If you do extremely well, the planet will glow and have a star burst behind it.

So for speed levels, the faster you do, the better the chances of getting a Super-Clear and the same for size, the bigger you are the better chance you have.

Here is a ROUGH list of what the requirements are):

I'll start by saying I've got a 100% Sweet Meadow.
Two of the most annoying are the Origami and the clean the room.
How the hell?

Y'ALL A LITTLE BIT OBSESSED

Tonight I got Time, Make it Big 5: around 14 minutes, and Clouds -> 96%. I think I have 95% paper cranes. But some of these levels are crazy hard.

Can we talk for a minute about the cow and bear level? And how insane it is? It's sort of the opposite of so much of the game, forcing you to be painstakingly discriminating instead of wildly indiscriminate. There are other levels where you have be very measured and precise about your size, although that's more knowing when to stop than physically avoiding things (and therefore less nerve-wracking).

I don't really like the levels that constrain your rolling that way, because the total abandon of consuming absolutely everything you see with a sense of complete invincibility is a big part of what makes it fun, for me.

I really, really didn't mean for the last part to rhyme.

I can't break 99% on the Sweets Meadow : (

Impressive.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Sunday, 23 October 2005 22:45 (twenty years ago)

I've got super clear in most of the levels at this point, but I don't have anywhere near a 3300 meter katamari, that's for sure.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 06:13 (twenty years ago)

what kind of stuff were you rolling up at the end??

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 08:12 (twenty years ago)

the game-code???

― c7n (Cozen), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 08:29 (twenty years ago)

I was rolling up a lot of sky stuff, huge land masses, etc. I was so close to the super clear, but didn't quite make it. Will try again.

― Laura H. (laurah), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

Oh I guess I have regular clear instead of superclear.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

I was just judging that from the Gamefaqs limits listed above. They could be wrong!

― Laura H. (laurah), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

I was under the impression that superclear is when you have rays radiating outward from the star as opposed to just a glow, and I've gotten the rays for less than some of the numbers above.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Polyphonic is right. There's a pretty big variation in how shiny your gold medal is, but the rays mean you're the tops.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

Well, that's one less arbitrary goal I have to devote time in my life to achieving then. Huzzah

― Laura H. (laurah), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

five months pass...

Ok, who has Me and My Katamari? I have unlocked unlimited on all of the main island levels but the fucking cat. I have rolled everything in the King level except the King's father.

― JW (ex machina), Monday, 24 April 2006 16:44 (twenty years ago)

is me and my katamari worth buying?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 24 April 2006 16:50 (twenty years ago)

YES. Best PSP game I've played as of yet.

― JW (ex machina), Monday, 24 April 2006 16:53 (twenty years ago)

It's definitely worth the $300 investment.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Monday, 24 April 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

My PSP was free.

― JW (ex machina), Monday, 24 April 2006 17:36 (twenty years ago)

Good for you.

FACT: I'm an astroturfer for Apple *and* Sony.

― JW (ex machina), Monday, 24 April 2006 17:42 (twenty years ago)

I got a Katamari cellphone charm where the light on the top of the prince's head lights up when your phone rings (or when you're near a microwave I found out last night).

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 24 April 2006 19:35 (twenty years ago)

― JW (ex machina), Monday, 24 April 2006 20:41 (twenty years ago)

How to attach?

― JW (ex machina), Monday, 24 April 2006 20:41 (twenty years ago)

it's a fucking phone charm jaydubz, you will not need a soldering iron or a circuit diagram.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 24 April 2006 21:24 (twenty years ago)

Does it have a little tie or clip?

PLZ DON'T MENTION THIS TO LAURAH. I AM GETTING HER ONE

― JW (ex machina), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 05:16 (twenty years ago)

shasta - got it. for some reason there is an auction for one that is at $13 something and two slots down there are 2 'buy it now' for $7.99. go figure. ps i cant stall in a barrel (i end up breaking through it) on kelly slater so i cant get out of tutorial mode. what the hell?

jw - i used to have one on my old cellie that i hooked through the sim card cover. there was a little gap so it fit flush. now i look at my razr there doesnt seem to be anywhere to put it. this may involve the help of japanese schoolgirls.

oh wait - the sidekicker actually has a little hole just for this purpose. thank you, danger!

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 13:02 (twenty years ago)

The razr does have space for it - on the hinge, at the right hand side you'll notice the end cap is a different shape? Thread it through the back there.

I found my Prince doesn't flash at anything like the right times, but it still grebt. (I suspect this is something to do with UK phones, their frequencies and power levels)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 14:03 (twenty years ago)

i cant stall in a barrel (i end up breaking through it) on kelly slater so i cant get out of tutorial mode. what the hell?

to stall push the down arrow. you don't have to do it very long. the POV changes to "tube view" and to get out you push the up arrow.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 14:49 (twenty years ago)

ps2?

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 15:05 (twenty years ago)

aldo - so there is! thanks

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 15:06 (twenty years ago)

yeah ps2. i don't use the analog controls, just the directional keypad.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 15:12 (twenty years ago)

ok. me too. ill give it a try. thanks!

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 15:17 (twenty years ago)

Ooh a PSP Katamari. I think I shall get it.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 23:42 (twenty years ago)

the psp katamari was not made by the creator of the two ps2 katamaris, for what it's worth.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 00:03 (twenty years ago)

Oh. Ah. Maybe I better get the PS2 one first then. I still havent tried it!

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 00:54 (twenty years ago)

the PS2 "one"

― JW (ex machina), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 01:34 (twenty years ago)

I meant the original, I am well aware there are two! Yeesh, you're a pain.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 02:16 (twenty years ago)

Heavens!

shasta my katamari phone thingy arrived and his head wont light up!! do i need to turn it on somehow? instructions are in japanese

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 27 April 2006 19:34 (twenty years ago)

mine came w/out instructions (although i just ordered one off eBay for stephanie shasta). i don't know what to tell you. maybe your phone doesn't emit the right wattage. try the microwave.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 27 April 2006 19:36 (twenty years ago)

doesnt work on the sidekick, razr or micowave. bah! ill try pleasant plain's cellie tonight.

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 27 April 2006 19:52 (twenty years ago)

bummer :(

― JW (ex machina), Thursday, 27 April 2006 20:39 (twenty years ago)

sunny successor:

did you remove the plastic pull tab from under the Prince's left armpit? pull that tab out and then try it.

That's good but I think Laura might have you beat. We'll find out when I let her read this again.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO LAURA?!?!?!?!?!

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:40 (twenty years ago)

shasta, yes. still bummerz. the seller says he'll send another.

is laura a taurean?

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 27 April 2006 23:37 (twenty years ago)

shasta, my new prince works a treat. it works when cellie gets a call, when cellie makes a call, when the home phone gets a call etc etc etc. blinking all the time. TREAT. I still cant stay in that barrel though.

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 20:16 (twenty years ago)

I was in the hospital late Saturday night/early Sunday morning (long story) and you'd be surprised how much hospital equipment emits cellular-esque radiation. The prince was blinking away.

Dude you got to pull back (up arrow) and stall until the POV changes from side view to barrel view. Once you're in the barrel you will need to balance right/left (this is very similar to manuals in THPS). Once you've logged enough time in the green room (aka, been in the barrel long enough), push up arrow and you will shoot out of the barrel and the POV will return to the default view.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 20:32 (twenty years ago)

^^^ should read pull back = down arrow^^^^

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 20:32 (twenty years ago)

Giant katamari for the Bay to Breakers!

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 20:53 (twenty years ago)

I'll be racing. I'll take a look for it on my way home though.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 21:29 (twenty years ago)

Thx Shasta. I'll give it another try. I cant believe im better at real surfing than i am at virtual surfing.

Mine was on show at ATP this past weekend. Poor little guy, he's beginning to look a bit worn.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 12:43 (twenty years ago)

mine is attached to my razr but blinks everytime the sidekick checks for mail, which is every few minutes, so im guessing the battery will be dead real soon.

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 12:57 (twenty years ago)
