[How to play with our KATAMARI PROJECT]
Two players are needed to play the game. Players can choose Shikao or Ichigo to represent themselves in order to start the game. On the floor there are some objects such as sushi, pencils, ducks, eggs, and so on. Players will race to collect as many objects as possible with their Katamari balls. When the cars move, the Katamari balls will roll up random objects from the floor. The player who collects the most objects wins the game!!!!

oh yeah, I forgot to suggest. Why not try the game on a surface that has more friction?

WOWERS!!!!! You really need to market these, get a patent for these, but you might want to make more than The Shiako Katamari, and the Ichigo Katamari, but you need to make Ichigo a Strawberry pattern, OH i would love a Fujio Katamari, andi got a good idea for a Katamari tourny, how about the winner can win a King Katamari You really neeed to do that

Bah. As cool as this is (and truly, it is): Ace is the only choice for cousin.

Put some weight inside the ball so that the velcro presses down onto the objects it rolls over.
