The [[King of All Cosmos]] gets drunk one night, and on a drunken bender accidentally destroys all the stars in the sky. The following morning, he assigns his son, the Prince, to make new stars by collecting random objects from the Earth to be turned into stars. The {{color|rainbow|Prince}}, who had been treated rather badly by his father up to now, does this by running the objects over with a big sticky ball that makes bigger and bigger clumps of objects as it collects them. The Prince starts by collecting ants and thumbtacks, and eventually moves on to whales, jumbo jets, office towers, and sports stadiums...
 
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 [[PlayStation 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]]''.
 
''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.]]
