Note for people trying to collect We Love Katamari cousins:
The two FAQs that offer cousin locations are complete and very good, so I don’t
need to list cousin locations here. 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. Thank you!
I hope this simple guide is helpful.
