Easter eggs

From Katamari Wiki

Being highly non-linear, the Katamari series is quite easily given to hiding references to Namco, other video games, or even the series itself. Often, simple objects in game will be arranged as a reference of some kind and can either be out in the open, or can be hidden and only seen under certain conditions.

Easter Eggs in all of the games of the series include:

  • The NA, M, and CO save files
  • Moving objects and characters often represent a katamari being rolled. This occurs in stages for all of the games.
