Other controls can be triggered by the player to gain a quick burst of speed, flip the Prince to the other side of the katamari and more. The player uses the two analog sticks on the DualShock controller in a manner similar to the classic arcade game Battlezone to control the direction the katamari rolls. The player controls the Prince as he rolls the katamari around houses, gardens, and towns in order to meet certain parameters set by the King of All Cosmos. Gameplay The "Make A Star" mode in Katamari Damacy is the primary mode, where the player must grow the katamari to a specific size (diameter) in a limited amount of time. Ultimately, the family, along with their house and town, are rolled up in the katamari that is used to remake the Moon. The father, an astronaut, is unable to go to the Moon after it is wiped out by the King, and the daughter, whose name is Michiru, "senses" the Prince's work-she can feel when each constellation returns to the sky. Ī side-story follows the Hoshino family as the Prince works at his tasks. The Prince is successful, and the universe is returned to normal. Despite acknowledging his mistake, the King charges his five-centimeter-tall son, the Prince, to go to Earth with a "katamari"-a magical ball that allows anything smaller than it to stick to it and make it grow-and collect enough material for him to recreate the stars and the Moon.

In a drunken stupor, an eccentric, god-like entity called the King of All Cosmos destroys all the stars, Earth's Moon and other such celestial bodies in the universe, save for Earth itself.
