But there is one issue that keeps coming up on GameFAQs forums, so I will address it here: In most stages that have more than one cousin, you have to collect them in a certain order, and you can only collect one new one per play-through a stage. For example, in Stage 5 the Bird & Elephant stage, Shikao is the only cousin that will be available your first time through. Then, once you have completed the stage with Shikao in your katamari, the next time through Lucha will be there. Same goes for Nutsuo and then Drooby. ------------------------------------------ If the item you need is not in the list, or if the info in this list doesn�t help you find the item, there are at least two options: you can e-mail me, or you can post in the forum thread this list is based on: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=921111&topic=23791152 edit: That thread no longer exists, but you still can post on www.gamefaqs.com or http://z9.invisionfree.com/Katamari_Damacy/ If anybody has anything to add or correct, or if your name should but doesn�t appear at the top, please e-mail me.
