The cuckoo clock is on the wall with very little space for you to stand in front of it. I stood there until the cuckoo came out because I had tried to time it but was unsuccessful so I just waited for it to hit the katamari on it's own, there is also a present right next to the cuckoo as well. 14.

I was tooling around in the water thinking it was somewhere around the corner or something and i hear the "bloop", and the words "4th step" appearing in the lower left of my screen o___O. The best I can say is that it's in the dark blue area of the water, kinda close to where the falling stuff enters the water. It's really REALLY trial and error to find this one..." ~ submitted by nyekobug Where the falling stuff enters the water...roll over to it, facing where the stuff is falling from. To the left, only a small bit is where the step is. I have a feeling it moves underwater as I was standing still and it just kinda popped on to my katamari. But I do know for sure that it is very close to the items that are falling into the water. I have taken some screen shots of the location. So if you would like to see them please e-mail me. 21. 7th Step Location: Paradise/Make a Star 6 How to Find: In the water, there are two rings of jellyfish circling around.

Go through the little openings on the bottom and go up the cushion, the medal is on your left. 24. 500 Yen Coin Location: Living Room/Make A Star 2 How to Find: It's in the "closet" on top of a mousetrap. 25.

OR Location: Living Room/Make a Star 2 How to Find: From the top of the table, there is a ruler that acts as a bridge to a chest of drawers. Go across the ruler and grab the ring that is in the box.
