Tom's short Normal-Clear and Super-Clear Requirements FAQ for We Love Katamari by Tom Batchelor aka slowbro [email protected] Version 1.4 Last Updated: January 19, 2006 changed: Added note about meteors you already have. Added Merriam�s strategy for the Saturn stages. This is my list of all of We Love Katamari's requirements for Normal-Clears and Super-Clears. If you complete a level just well enough to advance, you get a Normal-Clear. If you do a little better, you get a Great-Clear, which means your planet/satellite/nebula will have a dim glow around it. (I don't know the Great-Clear requirements.) If you do particularly well, you get a Super-Clear, which means your celestial body will have a brighter glow in the shape of a Starburst around it. The game is inconsistent. Some super-clears are very easy to achieve, while some are darn near impossible. Of course, each person will find some stages easier that I will, and some stages harder. The difficulty ratings I give are just my opinions. (If you want to add your opinions on the difficulty of the Super-Clears for one or more stages to this FAQ then e-mail me with your ratings.) And I am assuming you have some experience in the game and know the levels fairly well: for a gamer new to We Love Katamari even the "easy" Super-Clears would probably be very difficult. Most of this information is available right in the game, or in Vix's complete FAQ. But this list could be helpful if you want to try to collect all the Super-Clears (a feat I have not come close to achieving myself), or maybe if you want to find the fastest way to just barely clear each stage. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT METEOR TIMES: You will only get a meteor if you do both of the following: you beat the time listed, and you beat any previous attempts at the stage you have taken. If you are beating the time I list but not getting a meteor, try going to the cosmos (up from the select meadow) and press buttons to see if you already have the meteor you are trying to get. But if you do beat the best you have ever done after you have already earned a meteor, you get a new meteor with a faster time. (DC stands for Dumb FAQ-Writer�s Challenges. Are some of the Super-Clear scores too easy? If not then ignore the scores marked DC, or e-mail me if you think this FAQ would be better without them. I provided more challenging goals for some of the stages. If you are beating several of the Dumb FAQ- Writer�s Challenge scores, or even if you�re not, then I highly recommend that you compete on the scoreboard on the message board Vix runs at http://s9.invisionfree.com/Katamari_Damacy.) ---------- As Large As Possible 1: Requirement: 15cm Super-Clear: 30cm (DC: 33cm) (Additional DC: finish in 0:45) Super-Clear Difficulty: Medium ALAP1 Meteor: 1:20.00 As Large As Possible 2: Requirement: 40cm Super-Clear: 90cm (DC: 1m12cm) (Additional DC: finish in 2:00) Super-Clear Difficulty: Easy ALAP2 Meteor: 4:00.00 As Large As Possible 3: Requirement: 3m Super-Clear: 5m (DC: 5m70cm) (Additional DC: finish in 4:00) Super-Clear Difficulty: Medium ALAP3 Meteor: 7:00.00 As Large As Possible 4: Requirement: 12m Super-Clear: 25m (DC: 30m3cm) (Additional DC: finish in 5:00) Super-Clear Difficulty: Medium ALAP4 Meteor: 10:00.00 As Large As Possible 5: Requirement: 500m Super-Clear: 2500m (DC: 3630m) (Additional DC: finish in 7:30) (Additional Additional DC: reach 3600m with 4 minutes left) Super-Clear Difficulty: Medium ALAP5 Meteor: 13:00.00 As Fast As Possible 1: Requirement: Just reach 15cm at any speed Super-Clear: 0:55.00 (DC: 0:45) Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard AFAP1 Meteor: 1:20.00 As Fast As Possible 2: Requirement: Just reach 50cm at any speed Super-Clear: 0:55.00 (DC: 0:50) Super-Clear Difficulty: Brutal AFAP2 Meteor: 1:20.00 As Fast As Possible 3: Requirement: Just reach 3m at any speed Super-Clear: 0:55.00 (DC: 0:30) Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard AFAP3 Meteor: 1:20.00 As Fast As Possible 4: Requirement: Just reach 20m at any speed Super-Clear: 0:55.00 (DC: 0:40) Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard AFAP4 Meteor: 1:20.00 As Fast As Possible 5: Requirement: Just reach 1000m at any speed Super-Clear: 9:30.00 (DC: 7:30) (Additional DC: Make the King say you�ve taken 2 minutes or less during the second load screen) Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard AFAP5 Meteor: 13:00.00 Tutorial: Super-Clear: Roll up the Cousin (DC: 24cm) Super-Clear Difficulty: Automatic School As Large As Possible: Requirement: 1m50cm Super-Clear: 3m80cm (DC: 4m5cm) (Additional DC: finish in 2:00) Super-Clear Difficulty: Medium School As Fast As Possible: Requirement: Just collect all the kids at any speed Super-Clear: 1:30.00 Super-Clear Difficulty: Brutal Racetrack As Large As Possible: Requirement: 5m Super-Clear: 20m (DC: 23m80cm) (Additional DC: finish in 2:00) Super-Clear Difficulty: Medium Racetrack As Fast As Possible: Requirement: Just reach 5m at any speed Super-Clear: 1:00.00 (DC: 0:45) Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard Underwater As Large As Possible: Requirement: 80cm Super-Clear: 2m (DC: 2m8cm) (Additional DC: finish in 2:00) Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard Underwater As Fast As Possible: Requirement: Just reach 60cm at any speed Super-Clear: I don't know Super-Clear Difficulty: Almost Impossible Campfire Small: Requirement: light fire at 1m50cm Super-Clear: light fire at 3m (DC: 3m90cm) (Additional DC: finish at any size in 1:45) Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard Campfire Medium: Requirement: light fire at 3m Super-Clear: light fire at 4m20cm (DC: 5m40cm) (Additional DC: finish in 2:30) Super-Clear Difficulty: Medium Campfire Large: Requirement: light fire at 6m Super-Clear: light fire at 7m40cm (DC: 8m) (Additional DC: finish in 3:00) Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard Saturn Small: Requirement: Reach at least 10cm and cancel out (I don't know the biggest you can get) Super-Clear: exactly 20cm Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard Saturn Medium: Requirement: Reach at least 1m and cancel out (I don't know the biggest you can get) Super-Clear: exactly 2m Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard Saturn Large: Requirement: Reach at least 25m and cancel out (I don't know the biggest you can get) Super-Clear: exactly 50m Super-Clear Difficulty: Hard Saturn Super Clear Difficulty according to Merriam: Easy > >Just a quick note: If you have some strips of masking tape or >similar handy, getting the Saturn levels correct is simplicity in >itself.
