An early version of the results screen. The elephant in the graphic is blue, but it is pink in the final game. The sprite of the King is messier than the final version.

An early version of the rock creation scene. The islands are spaced further apart in comparison to the final version.

Fifteen placeholder sprites featuring a screenshot of possibly an early build of the game. The kanji "仮" can be seen at the top right of the image, which is likely apart of "仮称" (tentative).

Oddities#

  • Me & My Katamari only contains an opening movie (movie01.pmf) and a prologue movie (movie02.pmf). However, a RAM dump of the game will have the directory disc0:/PSP_GAME/USRDIR/MOVIE/movie03.pmf. This implies that an epilogue movie was planned for the game, but was never finished.
