The game was popular enough to garner two sequels, ''Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy'' ("Everyone Loves Katamari Damacy", released in the States as ''We ♥ Katamari'') and ''Boku no Watashi no Katamari Damacy'' for the PSP ("My My Katamari Damacy", released in the States as ''Me and My Katamari''). A third sequel, ''Beautiful Katamari'', has been released for the Xbox 360, and had been planned for the Wii but ran into some problems concerning the controller. The most recently released game in the series is ''Katamari Forever'' (''Katamari Tribute'' in Japan) for the [[PS 3]], the first Katamari game in high-definition. There is also ''i Love Katamari'', a Katamari game for the [[IOS Games|iPhone]] and [[IOS Games|iPod Touch]], which is a lot shorter than the other games, but has all the essentials. A version is also planned for the Playstation Vita titled ''Touch My Katamari''. There is now an [[Comic Book Adaptation|official webcomic]], simply titled ''[[Katamari (Webcomic)|Katamari]]'', created by the same folks who write ''[[Buttersafe (Webcomic)|Buttersafe]]''.
''Katamari Damacy'' is a delightfully addictive acid trip that [[Widget Series|only the Japanese]] could have created. The controls are simple, the game is brightly coloured and fun, and, for the concerned parent, nonviolent--although you ''are'' rolling up people, most of whom scream. It's great at a party. Recreational drugs optional... and, really, [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?|they'd be redundant.]]
This series has a [[Katamari Damacy (Video Game)/Characters|character sheet]].
Line 34:
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: One of the songs on the ''Katamari Damacy'' soundtrack is entitled "The Wonderful Stars Walk is Wonderful".
* [[Destructive Saviour]]: You (as the Prince) are restoring the night sky, but at what cost? ''THE ENTIRE WORLD?''
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Roll Up Cthulhu]]: You can roll up a kraken, several giant-sized superheroes, angels, mermaids...
* [[Doom Doors]]: The sound the RoboKing makes in a ''Katamari Forever'' cutscene.
* [[Downloadable Content]]: The "Lock and Key" system was used for ''Beautiful Katamari''. Fans were not pleased.
Line 40:
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: The King in ''Katamari Forever'', after getting hit in the head by a meteor.
* [[Ermine Cape Effect]]: Is the King's Royal Cape not the most elegant shade of pink?
* [[Esperanto, the Universal Language]]: [[Royal We|We]] are brushing up on [[Verbal Tic|Our]] skills.
* [[

* [[Franchise Zombie]]: Keita Takahashi only reluctantly agreed to help with ''We ♥ Katamari'', and had nothing to with any of the other games past it.
* [[Fungus Humongous]]: Mushrooms of all sizes can be rolled up. The largest covering a quarter of an island.
Line 70:
* [[Important Haircut]]: The King suffered one, as depicted in his flashbacks.
* [[It Runs in The Family]]: The Prince's large collection of cousins, who combine all sorts of strange shapes and behaviors in addition to rolling katamari themselves. Inasmuch as a group like this ''can'' have a normal one, it's suggesed that the Queen Of All Cosmos is the "sane" one.
* [[
* [[Kawaisa]] - The Prince and all his Cousins. With [[Katamari Damacy (Video Game)/Characters|how many there are]], each with their own distinctive look and Presents, there's bound to be at least one that gets you going "Awwww..."
* [[King of All Cosmos]]: [[Trope Namer]].
Line 124:
*** In the first game, he greets you at every level with a different language, [[Canon Dis Continuity|including Esperanto]].
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: It's surprisingly soothing to hear living beings scream upon being rolled up. And nothing can quite beat the sadistic glee of rolling up something that was smacking you around mere minutes earlier (especially if it actively chased after your Katamari and knocked several precious objects out of it, repeatedly).
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: The King is rather stingy with praise throughout the entire series.
** In Katamari Forever, he will only congratulate you for getting a score of 100/100 [[Up to Eleven|(or better)]]. A score of 99 or lower is treated as mediocre.
** This was also the relationship the young King and the Emperor had in the flashback reel of ''We ♥ Katamari''.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?|What The Hell Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made On Drugs?!]]: "Katamari Damacy: not LSD, but an incredible simulation!"
