The gameplay follows the same core mechanic: To gather material, the Prince pushes around his katamari, a magical, highly adhesive ball capable of grabbing anything smaller than itself. Initially, the katamari can only pick up smaller items like loose change and discarded pencils. As more items accumulate, the katamari’s power grows, allowing it to pick up “vaulting boxes, pencils, erasers, postcards, ramen, robots, cows, sheep, this girl, that boy, moms and dads, bicycles, motorbikes, homes, buildings, rainbows, clouds, islands, hopes and dreams”. Once the level is successfully completed, the katamari is launched into space and becomes a planet, satellite, or other celestial object. If the planet has already been created, the katamari can replace it or be shattered into “stardust”. | The gameplay follows the same core mechanic: To gather material, the Prince pushes around his katamari, a magical, highly adhesive ball capable of grabbing anything smaller than itself.

|Workaround=Use native resolution to remove most of the lines | |Workaround=Go to Config -> Video (GS) -> Plugin Settings and choose "Bilinear(Forced excluding sprite) in the "texture filtering" or Use native resolution to remove most of the lines; some lines still visible in both workarournds but changing the HW Hack "TC Offset X" and "TC Offset Y" can correct these remaining lines (for example try 750 and 0, or 500 and 500). Software mode will also remove all lines (but hardware mode causes "No full screen filter effect" issue). | ||
