Katamari - Underwater - How to reach 2m10cm2mm (or more)

Step 1: Get as close to 2m5cm4mm as you can, without actually reaching 2m5cm4mm. 2m5cm3.9mm is better than 2m5cm3.5mm.

Step 2: Dash into two Fish Men at the same time!

Apparently, the objects between the Fish Men then count as Fish Man size somehow (edit: lol, I think I was wrong about that part :) ), and all the Fish Men reward you with the amount of diameter they would have when you were farther away from 2m9cm6mm, and boom, you've broken the size cap!

The slow and rather messy nature of my playing (lol at 0:12 to 0:19!) should help underscore the fact that this thing is pretty easy to pull off. It does not take matthew69-caliber skill to post a world-class diameter in Underwater.

As a little bonus, I happened to hit 2m10cm3mm (rather than 2m10cm2mm) in this video. This video is played in Katamari Forever, where 2m9cm7mm is much easier (without this method) than it is in We Love Katamari, so it stands to reason that 2m10cm3mm is probably harder to hit in WLK than in KF too. Katamari Forever legend ake0806 has hit 2m10cm4mm.

edit: I tried this in We Love Katamari too. It works, but it is much harder to get 2m10cm3mm out of it (easy to get 2m10cm2mm though).




Thanks for this discovery goes (as far as I know) to Japanese player yunomi, who has information on how to use this glitch in several stages on the web (in Japanese):

Thanks also goes to ThumbsOfSteel, matthew69 and FoominFan for their work on this glitch, and just a little thanks goes to me for googling and google-translating this morning. Wait, I guess a bit of thanks goes to Google too! :)

0:13-0:21. You saw it. Why didnt you get it?

[sloobro]

The fishing hook had me :D I couldn't move at all until I fell off the hook.

Amazing discovery. And it works in WLK!! How did you figure out the Japanese on Yunomi's site?

[sloobro]

Google translation :S

Well, the translation was pretty unclear, but I could tell I had to dash into something at 2m5cm3mm. Thumbs' work in other levels and a little trial and error taught me the rest.

In a way though it's unfortunate this works in WLK. Lo7's 2m9cm7mm is obviously tons more impressive than just doing this :)

[WarningSDE]

Well then how do you get 2m10cm4mm?

[sloobro]

Very good question. It's weird :) The closer you are to 2m5cm4mm when you dash without actually being 2m5cm4mm yet, the better the glitch works. It seems that if you're around 2m5cm3.9mm you'll hit 2m10cm4mm. 2m10cm5mm very well might be possible.

life must suck when this happens ( in the eyes of the cousins)

[CarrotShticks]

Oh also, I play We Love Katamari, just for the record.

It worked...

Yeah, it was only a TINY bit bigger, but thanks! :D
