Copyright and Contact info ----------------------------------- 1. Introduction ----------------------------------- This is an FAQ I am in the process of making that provides a specific strategy for each of the Make Saturn stages to get the exact size required. At the moment the guides for the 2m and 50m stages are a bit sloppy, but I will improve them soon. Anyways, without further ado, here's the guides. ----------------------------------- 2. How to read the guides ----------------------------------- In order to read the guides correctly, you should understand how they are set up. REQUIREMENTS: A list of things you will need to do outside of the specificied stage in order for the guide to work properly. STEPS: An ordered list which describes where you go and what you do to meet the requirements of the stage. Any numbers in parentheses is the total amount of objects you should have in your katamari at that point. Preliminary: Deals with what to do depending on which start point you get, as there are several for each stage. ----------------------------------- 3. Make Saturn 20cm guide ----------------------------------- REQUIREMENTS: -Have Cousin Signolo -Be using someone other than Signolo (not sure about this) -Have the food on the wooden tray be either Takoyaki or Strawberries (see step 9) (not sure about this either) STEPS: Preliminary: If you are starting from next to the Jumboman doll inside the train tracks, you are fine. If you are starting on top of the sodas, roll over to the Jumboman doll. If you are starting from on top of the dresser, aim yourself at the railroad tracks and do a dash, then roll over to the Jumboman doll. 1. From the Jumboman doll, pick up all the screws around him (12), then roll up all the caramels inside the railroad tracks (25). Turn to face the area in between the dresser and the bed. 2. Cross the rails and pick up the next three caramels (28). Roll up all the cookies on the plate in front of you. (39) 3. Pick up the candies near the plate that held the cookies (46). 4. Turn left from the candies until you see a radio near the tracks and bed. By this are 10 batteries, 3 of them green and cylindrical, 5 blue and rectangular, and 2 red and cylindrical. Pick up the green and blue ones (you're still too small to pick up the reds) (54). 5. Look for the blocks bridging the railroad tracks. Roll over to it and pick up all the blocks except the white ones, and pick up Signolo as well (76). 6. Go back to the plate the cookies were on, pick up the chopsticks, roll over to the radio and pick up the 2 red batteries (79). 7. If you look back at the plate from the radio, you should be able to see a circle of gluesticks by the skateboard leaning on the dresser. Roll yourself over and pick up the gluesticks (87). 8. Go back to the plate, face directly away from the tracks. There are a bunch of crayons in front of you (the small things on top of the drawing count, so don't forget to pick them up as well). Carefully roll around and pick them all up (102). Be careful of the small bells on the floor. 9. Roll onto the wooden board and pick all the food on it, and also grab the fork (115). NOTE: The game randomly puts one of three different foods here. I have tested this with the Takoyaki and Strawberries, but not the Cherries. If you have Cherries in your run through, do me a favor and email me to tell me whether or not it works with them. 10. Backtrack to the cookie plate. Face the wooden board, then turn right a bit until you see a dark brown book (diary). Roll directly over the diary, picking up the white and gray eraser on it, then hug the dresser and pick up all the blue erasers nearby (122). It's important to hug the dresser so you don't pick up the pencils. Also try not to hit the tennis balls. 11. Carefully pull yourself back to the plate, then look a little more to the right of the diary to find a colorful tower of blocks. Roll into this and pick them all up, then find the nearby calculator on the floor and pick it up, and then pick up the three tennis balls (131). 12. Roll back inside the tracks, and then outside on the other side. Pick up the red and blue castanet here (132), then turn 90 degrees to the right and start moving forward slowly. You want to scare the frog here so he stays away from you while you roll. 13. Pick up the orange, the long line of magnets, the cans of sweets, and the black permanent markers here, still being wary of the frog (149). 14. Pick up the mosquito zapper (it's blue and by the balcony door) and all its refill cartridges (161). 15. Turn around and on the silver tray pick up the three canned drinks, the colorful dumplings, the plate which the dumplings were on, and all the small brown candies (124). 16. Go back to the spot where the castanet was. Turn towards the tracks, make sure the trains aren't near you, and roll over a CURVED piece of track (125). Roll over the 3 oranges inside the tracks (128), and then finally roll up one more CURVED piece of track (129). Hit square and end the stage. 17. Congrats on 20cm! ----------------------------------- 4. Make Saturn 2m guide ----------------------------------- REQUIREMENTS: -Have Cousin Nutsuo -Have the object on the statue near the bathrooms in the hall have either an octopus or a green kiddie swim ring, and have the thing the Gym Teacher is chasing in the hall be either a Huskie dog or a Doberman (see notes for more information on this, because it's so complicated) STEPS: Preliminary: Start in the school hallway. The hallway star point has a semi-circle of Health-O-Meters around it. 1. The 2m Saturn was amazingly easy to get the required size for. All you have to do is stay in the hallway, and pick up everything that isn't human in the hallway. Eventually both of these guidlines will be broken, but at the beginning you just need to follow them and you're well on your way to success. So roll up those health-o-meters in front of you, then move forward and grab those small flowers lying on the floor. Then turn around and start picking up smaller objects on the floor. At the sinks where the chefs class is, pick up the cutting boards and any veggies you can. Pick up the graffitti, rags, and buckets by the student scrubbing the floors. By this time you should be able to pick up the spider crab scuttling along nearby. Go around simply picking up everything you can in the hallway, until you get big enough to pick up the dog being chased by the gym teacher or the chicken on the desk, at which point return to the Chef's class and climb into the sink. The hardest part of the strategy is right here, as you have to roll up some tiny faucets and soap dispensers in the sink. If you do it any earlier than this you're likely to have a bunch of stuff fall off your Katamari. Each faucet has a brown soap dispenser attached to it. Make sure once you jump out to look in the sink for them in case you missed them. Then continue rolling up crap. 2. Once you get large enough so that the Chef students run away from you, bump them one at a time and them roll them up. Continue rolling up stuff, avoiding any humans so you don't pick them up. Once you get large enough to pick up the blue chairs near where you started, pick up the two empty ones and the one with the girl sitting in it. Make sure to pick up the Octopus or Kiddie Ring on top of the Principal statue outside the restroom. Also pick up the kid near the sinks, who is sitting on a scale like it is a rocking chair. You are done when the only things in the hall are humans, the guy in the blue chair, the cubby near where you started that held kettles, some cabinets and a piano halfway down the hall, the sinks, and the Principal Statue (There may be a few more. If you find another thing, tell me so I can add it here with credit to you). 3. Enter the bathrooms by the Principal Statue. Avoid the humans inside the stalls and the boy in the middle of the hallway. Pick up Nutsuo and everything not in the stalls of the bathrooms that isn't human. This includes the large lockers in the upper right corner and the urninals. Once you have it all, hit Square and end the stage. 4. Congrats on 2m! ----------------------------------- 5. Make Saturn 50m guide ----------------------------------- REQUIREMENTS: -None as far as I know STEPS: Preliminary: Unless you want to wait a ridiculously long time for the trains, you NEED to start on the island chain. You start on an island with two bridges leading off it, and one building and some trees on it. In order to move as quick as possible I strongly suggest you simply press start to skip the King's dialouge. 1. Back up into the building behind you. Turn right and roll over the bridge, picking up all the cars. When you reach the end, quick turn and head back to the start, then follow the bridges, picking up everything along the way (90 on the last bridge before mainland). 2. When you reach the mainland, pick up the picnic tables in the circular area and along the final bridge (97), then drop off before picking anything up on the large white area. You should recognize this place from other stages as the first two towns where you start playing in the world. You must stay within a few guidlines. First, do not go into the forest. Second, do not go into the ocean. Third, do not go onto or pick up anything on the large white landmass. 3. As quickly as possible, concentrate on picking up a lot of objects in the area within the step 2 guidlines. Keep an eye on the train tracks near the forest, and when you see a train pass through the first or second tunnel, roll the cars up before they can escape. Wait by the first or second length of exposed track, and pick up the next two trains as they pass by you. Once that's done, pick up EVERYTHING within the guidlines area (341). Make sure you get everything, the only things you can't get are a giant Pagoda, and the iron train bridge the trains travel on NOTE: In one area behind the very first town, there will be either Trojan Horses or Easter Island Statues. Whichever you get, don't worry because the strategy works with both of them. 4. Once you finish collecting all the things in the towns, head back across the bridged islands. This time around you should pick up the giant tree, the fountain, and the smaller trees on the island you first started on. 5. Once you roll up all the trees on the last island, turn left until you see a red bridge. Next it is bunch of anchors in an arrow pattern, and if you haven't gotten it yet, the Royal Present. Roll up all the anchors but don't pick up the present if it's there. 6. Turn right and roll up the hill the bridge travels into. At the top pick up all the letters in the "OH MY WOOD" sign, except the H which won't let you pick it up for some strange reason. Then roll down the same hillside you went up, except on the opposite side of the bridge. Pick up the anchors and the boat down here, then go up the hill once more. 7. At the top of the hill are a bunch of pink and purple trees, one large pink tree, and some bunny playpens. Carefully roll up all of the trees and playpens, avoiding picking up anything from the nearby city. 8. Use either the island bridges or the sea to return to the towns from steps 2 and 3. Go to the first town and carefully climb up into the forest. Pick up all the small houses in the forest (if you want you can ignore the one behind Angkor Wat for now), and the hot air balloon floating above the hill in the forest. 9. While rolling up the houses inside the forest, you should see the Wall of China. Once you roll up all the houses, go here, then take a right. You are now in the forest around Mt. Fuji. You should see some brown things sticking up out of the forest. Pick up all three of them, being very careful not to fall into the city below. Once you get all three return to the Wall of China. 10. Climb up onto the wall of China and slowly roll across it. For the first few watch towers there are mushrooms on them. Roll up all the mushrooms until the Wall splits off into two different directions, at which point the musrooms are replaced by what look like snow covered shacks. Turn around and return along the Wall to avoid picking up any extra objects. 11. Return to Angkor Wat inside the forest, roll up the house behind it if you haven't already, and then outside the forest behind Angkor Wat, carefully roll up 18 trees (use the pause menu to count the number of trees if you lose track). Hit square and end the stage. 12. Congrats on 50m! ----------------------------------- 6. Notes ----------------------------------- -For the 20cm guide, I am working on a strategy for those who don't have Signolo. -Signolo is located in the 50m Saturn stage. If your start point looks like the inside corner of a white landmass and your Katamari is in the water, roll up into the city above and he should be running around somewhere in it. -For the 2m guide, there is a problem. The Gym Teacher in the hallway is always chasing something, but there are at least 4 different things and I have yet to test it with all of them. So far I have seen a Duck, a Huskie, a Doberman, and a kid on a pogo stick. I think the guide would work with the Duck, but I'm not so sure about the kid on the pogo stick. If you find the spare time please test whether it would work for the Duck or pogo stick kid, or any other things the teacher chases. -Nutsuo is in the big as possible 5, which is started by talking to the Bird riding the Elephant. She's riding around Niagra Falls on a Loch ness monster, although you must complete the stage with Lucha in your Katamari for her to be there. ----------------------------------- 7.
