Line 64:
** And she's holding a [[Honest Axe|gold and a silver axe]]
* [[Heroic Mime]]: Prince and his Cousins. Well, some shriek if you pick them up in single player, but...
** In ''We ♥ Katamari'' and all games afterward, most Cousins' roll-up chattering consists of [[Pokémon
** This trope is also played straight in cutscenes and in conversations with the King, as neither the Prince nor the Cousins are heard speaking, but the King sometimes responds to them, making it clear that they can speak - it's just that the player can't hear it.
* [[Hollywood Atlas]]: Once you get big enough to roll out into the world in later games, you'll notice that countries are represented by stereotypical trappings and tourist locales. In the original games' credits, you can ''roll up the entire world'' as well.
Line 87:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Several of the cousins have these, like the [[Kawaiiko|strawberry-shaped Ichigo]], [[Pollyanna|soup-bowl-headed Miso]], [[Purity Personified|cheerful and innocent June]]...
** Also the game's name. "Katamari" means a "lump" or "mass" and "Damacy" is a corruption of "Damashii/Tamashii" for "soul." So an interpretation is "a mass of souls" or, in essence, "a mass of objects (rolled up into a Katamari ball)"
* [[Mix
* [[Mushroom Man]]: One of the Prince's second cousins, Kinoko, looks like a mushroom with arms and legs but no face.
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: Lalala: SHE'S NAKED!
Line 96:
** The descriptions of the items you've rolled up in the Collection screen are notably absurd. The King's descriptions for all the countries you roll up in Comet level in ''We ♥ Katamari'' in particular have jokes that would go over even adults' heads.
* [[Playable Menu]]: The save game select screen uses the in-game controls, and while the Level/Character/Operation select systems (Select Meadow, Space Mushroom, etc.) do not, they are playable in their own way.
* [[Popular Saying, But...]]: Love makes the world go round... But manners keep you from getting motion sickness.
* [[Puzzle Platformer]]: At smaller sizes, the levels have ramps, bridges, and vertically-moving platforms (all built out of the same "ordinary" objects as the rest of the environment) that the player must carefully navigate to get to certain [[Hundred
** The classification becomes more obvious with the introduction of the ability to jump.
* [[Randomly Drops]]: There are some items that only occasionally appear on select levels... [[One Hundred Percent Completion]] is something only for the truly dedicated.
Line 106:
* [[Sentai]]: Jumboman, in all colors and sizes.
** Royal Cousin Kuro also ''loves'' Sentai, and is known for striking poses.
* [[Shout
** In the ''We ♥ Katamari'' collection screen, the King describes Pakistan thus: "There's a city here called Harappa. But there aren't any [[Parappa the Rapper|rapping dogs]]."
** In ''We ♥ Katamari'', [[Stringy Haired Ghost Girl|black-haired]], [[Woman in White|white-clad]] ghosts can be seen emerging from wells in some levels - an obvious reference to ''[[The Ring|Ring]]''.
Line 129:
* [[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!"
** Lampshaded by [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=117 VG Cats]
* [["What the Hell?" Dad]]
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: None of the male cousins even blink at wearing a bikini. On the flip side, none of the girls ever mind wearing a mustache. Or any of the other Presents that one might associate with one gender over another.
* [[Widget Series]]: It's a game whose goal is to roll the contents of the entire game world into a ball. Try explaining that to people.
