Katamari is a surprisingly complex game. With so many rules and guidelines to find some items, you can easily spend hours looking for a single item on the stage. However, this guide will show you where most everything is, plus show you exactly what you’re looking for. With these two tools your 100% time will be lowered significantly.
However keep in mind that some items might not be pictured, but their location is correct. I tried to explain the general location, though the picture should be more than enough. Finally if you’re having a problem finding something please tell me and I’ll try to show you where it is.

Katamari Noob
Completed “Make It Big: Playtime”.
This is just the first level. Simply beat it for the trophy.
Congratulations!
Completed all Requests.
Simply beat every stage.
We Love Cousins
Rolled up all Cousins.
After you beat the stage the first time, a Cousin will spawn. These guys are generally in obvious places, but I will show you every location.
Like all other stages, these are easiest done in Eternal mode. Additionally some items are only obtainable at certain sizes and will mostly not be covered.
Make It Big 1: Playtime
Head under the table you spawn on.
Make It Big 2: Fashion
There is a table to the left of you. The Cousin is on there. If you’re having problems getting up there, then remember you need to walk up the cat’s back.
Make It Big 3: Sports
Shortly after you get out of the first tube there will be another tube with a bunch of junk in it. The Cousin is on the top of here.
Make It Big 4: Rich
After you unlock the next area, move to the right for the Cousin.

February 20, 2012 at 7:03 PMVery nicely done, thank you!
Please do Little Deviants next!

February 20, 2012 at 7:23 PMI would love to do Little Deviants, but there are a number of issues with that game. The first is the amount of “unguideable” content. It’s hard to explain how to do some things faster/better beyond saying “keep trying” or “find something that works”. Additionally many of the side trophies I accidentally did in addition to obtaining 90% of the moggers (spelling?). Even if I could find the rest, I can’t exactly take a picture of them. Additionally I have at least two reviews in the works this week (no spoilers sorry =P) and maybe even a guide.

February 23, 2012 at 1:39 AMMan this has been SO helpful. I am stuck on my last two curios. On MiB7 (Powerful) I need a green balloon. On MiB8 (Royal) I need the wooden doll that you show being over the wise man’s right shoulder. Any advice?
Grant Gaines (大将)
February 23, 2012 at 2:00 AM@ MrCowley
I believe the balloon is in a tree near the start and the doll is in Colosseum.
matt
February 23, 2012 at 12:38 PMon the MiB8:royal level, the wooden doll is located in the colosseum when you get really big and make it to the triply rainbow area. I can’t find the blowfish sign on MiB8. It’s my last curio D:

NOW THAT ONE I know exactly where it is! Near the start with the Kappa’s if I recall correctly will be the mansion and statues in the water. There will be a circular part near the mansion. Every now and then a thing will pop out of the water and THAT is the blowfish sign. You need to be fairly large to get it, but that is the location.

February 24, 2012 at 4:48 PMim stuck on a few curios. that princess in royal in the pink dress. also in the make it big 1 i cant seem tofind the medicine bottle
Grant Gaines (大将)
February 24, 2012 at 5:02 PM@ JP
Near the wrestlers, there are two similar looking houses. I believe the princess is the person running between them randomly.
I always thought it was rubber cement (Never looked it up in game), anyways it’s behind the boombox. You should see like 3 batteries and that in the middle.
Off topic… I am amazed how many of these I am remembering @_@.

February 27, 2012 at 7:10 AMThanks a lot for this great guide! I had to change my PSV date 300 times in order to get the last fashion item (took nearly 4 hours), but I wouldn’t have known it was possible without you! Those curio items was a great help too!^^

Yeah its a solid method. Sure it’s long, but any way you go about it will be long.

February 27, 2012 at 12:06 PMhey you should write in the guide which present is in each location so it will be easy to know what level im missing presents from since it doesnt show in-game i dont think
Grant Gaines (大将)
February 27, 2012 at 12:28 PM@ Kat
Sadly I didn’t keep track of what was where, so unless someone presents me with a list, I cant.

February 29, 2012 at 8:27 PMhaving trouble with a curio on the make it big powerful, the green balloon. any help, that would be awesome! thanks in advance. NICE AND HELPFUL GUIDE ANYWAYS KEEP IT UP!

As I posted earlier, it is in a tree. Since this seems to be a problematic one, I’ll try to make an image of it.

March 1, 2012 at 10:12 AMThe “Completed all Requests” isn’t popping for me. I thought it might be because I downloaded the other two requests, but I’ve since unlocked them and completed all the modes within them as well. What gives!
Anyone else having an issue with that?
Grant Gaines (大将)
March 1, 2012 at 2:03 PMclick on yourself and scroll down. You should see various times for stages. If you’re indeed missing one, then one will be empty. That will fix the issue, though if they’re all filled… then I dont know how to help.
Ryan L
March 1, 2012 at 10:24 PMI thought it was because I had too low of a score on a stage, but I just redid it and got a 100, so that’s not it. The only thing I can think of now is that I won’t be able to have it unlock until the 3rd request pack comes out. :-\
The only ones that aren’t done are the ones that I can’t do – like Eternal and Katamari Drive on the very first stage.

March 3, 2012 at 12:17 AM@ Jose
I’m 99% sure its in a house made of cookies. It’s on the hill where the Tank is on 9 if I recall correctly.
Russ
March 4, 2012 at 9:00 AMwhat is the curio item on MIB4: Rich that is below the flowers? It looks like it might be a bed cover but I can’t get big enough to pick it up
Andy
March 4, 2012 at 10:02 AMFor the kings clothes, I have unlocked 5 of the 7 items in each of the different sets. 5 of the hats, capes and extra items etc) but I don’t know how to get the 6th lot of items in each set. I think the 7th is for buying or unlocking every other item.
Russ
March 4, 2012 at 11:13 AMjust found out what I’m looking for is a Lucky Charm, anybody know where that is? thanks
Grant Gaines (大将)
March 4, 2012 at 3:56 PM@ Andy
I got like 5 of the sets playing through the story and then another set when I finished every eternal stage. After another stage I also unlocked another set. Once I completed all of these I got the last item.
Darrell
March 5, 2012 at 3:27 AMI can’t roll up the bed cover in Make it Big Rich and I can’t find the lion statue in Powerful.
Grant Gaines (大将)
March 5, 2012 at 4:03 AM@ Darrell
Play eternal and keep rolling till you can pick it up. Besides that I don’t recall where the Lion is, but I think it was in a small obvious area.
Andy
March 6, 2012 at 5:35 AMI have done all requests on normal, Eternal and the other mode and for some reason I am still missing the last few set of items. There are however items that have a picture of the king above them and when you buy that item the king thanks you.It seems there is one of these items in each category so maybe you need to buy each one to unlock another set. Thanks for help I’ll have a mess around and see what happens.

March 12, 2012 at 6:59 PMFor the life of me, I can not find the crown in make it big 5. Where the fuck is it!?

In the second area, it’s on top of the taxi cab. You need to be pretty small to get it though

March 19, 2012 at 11:14 PMstill cant find the wooden doll thingy in mib8. I tried the info above in the rainbow area and rolled everywhere and still couldn’t find it. This is my last curio and I want it really badly ….
Thanks for helping
Grant Gaines (大将)
March 20, 2012 at 1:25 AM@ Jen
It’s in a really obvious part. Also it’s not in the rainbow area, but before it.

No clue… it’s been a while since I booted the game.
