* [[Awesome Music]]: So many [[Katamari Damacy
*
* [[Broken Base]]: ''Touch My Katamari'' introduces new stretching and squashing mechanics for the katamari. However, it's also [[It's Short, So It Sucks|short]], has most of the cousins [[Put On a Bus|going on vacation]], and [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|gives those who do appear]] [[Unnecessary Makeover|makeovers that weren't well-recieved]].▼
▲* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: As great as the entire soundtrack is, ''A Song For The King Of Kings'' is a definite chart-topper.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR7nX76eRiI Katamari on the Rocks] definitely qualifies. It plays during the opening sequence and last level of the first game.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Out of all the cousins, Marny gets a ''lot'' of appearances in official art, wallpapers and the like. This is probably due in no small part to his simple, yet very distinctive shape; the obvious implications of which in this universe have been acknowledged, [[media:KatamariMarnyProblem.png|as seen here]].
* [[Freud Was Right]]: Odeko's distinctive shape has spawned many a cheap joke at his expense. The fact that he's explicitly ''proud'' of his long head, and is prone to exaggerating its length, doesn't help.
* [[MST3K Mantra]]: You're rolling up living things (either one at a time, or in entire cities) and turning them into stars and stardust. You can even roll up the entire Earth itself. Yet they're alive and well ''and still on Earth'' if you retry the challenge. Indeed, sometimes the fans themselves ask you to roll them around, and they enjoy the experience and want to do it again (until you reach the top limit, at least
▲* [[MST3K Mantra]]: You're rolling up living things (either one at a time, or in entire cities) and turning them into stars and stardust. You can even roll up the entire Earth itself. Yet they're alive and well ''and still on Earth'' if you retry the challenge. Indeed, sometimes the fans themselves ask you to roll them around, and they enjoy the experience and want to do it again (until you reach the top limit, at least.) The moral? Don't worry too much about these people and animals. The entire concept is more concerned with [[Rule of Funny]] than [[Fridge Logic]].
* [[The Scrappy|Scrappy Game]]: For some reason, ''Beautiful Katamari'' was hated by the critics.
* [[Squick]]: If the premise doesn't throw you off, managing to roll up both the [[King of All Cosmos]] and the Queen in the same katamari in the second game will warp your mind.
* [[Surprise Difficulty]]: Yes, it's a brightly-colored, wacky game with [[Ear Worm|an addictive J-pop soundtrack]]. Doesn't mean the game won't utterly humiliate you on a few levels.
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: "This is the happiest game I've ever played."
* [[That One Level]]:
** "Ursa Major" and "Taurus" in the original game, and by extension, the COW♥BEAR level in the second. ''Anything'' related to bears/cows that you pick up finishes the level, and you want something large. However, it's easy to get anything from a "WARNING: BEARS" sign or a milk bottle to finish the game, and even easier to have a larger moving object knock you into small items. At least the second game allows you to immediately restart the level, without having to listen to the King berate you for the small item like he did in the first
** The COW♥BEAR level gets kicked [[Up to Eleven]] in ''Katamari Forever'' 's Drive Mode, to the point even the King himself questions your sanity when you begin the mode.
** And at least picking up a tiny item ''passes'' the level; the same can't be said for the hot-cold level in ''Beautiful Katamari'' and ''Katamari Forever''. You'll never look at a fire extinguisher the same way again.
*** For those who wonder, one level requires you to pick up hot stuff (hot meal, camp fire, etc
** To make matters worse for those who are planning [[
* [[This Is Your Premise
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: The King's description of the peach: "A butt-shaped fruit that is more tasty than butts." {{spoiler|The implication being that the King [[Squick|knows what butts taste like]]}}.
** {{spoiler|[[Completely Missing the Point|So the King doesn't like Rump Roast
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]:
*
** This Troper freaked out when she found out Beyond, was indeed...a boy.▼
** For some reason, tends to cause a lot of "Wait, [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|Dipp is a]] ''[[Dropped a Bridget On Him|guy]]?!''" reactions.
▲** This Troper freaked out when she found out Beyond, was indeed... a boy.
*** One could say that the information was ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|BEYOND]]'' comprehension.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: "Katamari Damacy: not LSD, but an incredible simulation!" Lampshaded by [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=117 ''VG Cats''].
* [[The Woobie]]: Opeo.
* [[Woolseyism]]: Believe it or not, the ridiculous dialogue is completely intentional (and in some cases, an accurate and direct translation of the idiosyncratic diction used in the original game).
