Uploaded on Jan 18, 2006 Holy balls

I dare you to show someone this out of context.

why does this make me feel better about myself XD

How high were they when they made this, "duuude, i am so stoned, lets make a game" "sure but we need a name" "katamari damacy?" "Yes" "okay im gonna work on the intro" *acids effects go down* "wha? Dafuq happened?" "I think we made a game" "okay lets play it" *plays game* WHAT THE FUK JAPAN

This is what you get if you mix Yellow Submarine with Monty Python's Animated sketches.

WE LOVE KATAMARI!

Dont mind me....just a comment that isnt about drugs passing through -_-

12 years later HD Remake Remake of this when that releases

I love how this trailer gives you absolutely no idea of what the gameplay is like, but manages to be fascinating anyway.

Still makes more sense than Boohbah

0:36 that's clearly marijuana

I finally discovered the music in dunkey's teemo video. i can now rest easy

thats why it was so hard to find this song in the ost, this part is the half way point of the first one ;)

This is the most incredible intro sequence ever created, PERIOD.

If I ever get really, really stoned, I'm finding a copy of this.

The happiest, and yet, probably most violent game in existence... xD There's a happy atmosphere, music, etc... but in the end, you take everyone and everything on your ball, and turn them into a star... which is burning... you're killing all those people... :P

This is the weirdest opening theme ever but the best opening song.

Katamary Damacy is the best video game i have ever played no kidding.No game can be so simple and continues with doing the same thing.

It scares the hell out of most everyone. THE DUCKS SING FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! XD

those pandas sure like to dance near big mushrooms

Thankfully the game tells you how to survive a Katamari invasion. Call your friends and stack yourselves to make yourselves look taller. The higher the better.

if playstation all stars want to even compare to smash bros ADD THE PRICE OF THE COSMOS AS A CHARACTER AND THE KING OF THE COSMOS AS THE STAGE

He specified what he was smoking during the development of the game.

Judging by the Shamrocks floating about, I'd say that they were on Guinness!! Hee! Hee!

I don't usually accuse people of using drugs just because they made a creative product, but there's too many mushrooms and leaves to make me think otherwise.

Haha, QC brought me here, and I'm pretty happy it did. This is wicked pop-art on drugs.

While some people say "on drugs" a lot, I would like to point out that this is what Japan makes when they are sober. If they were on drugs... I shudder to think what might come out of that country.

I finally got hold of a copy of this game today and I've been humming this since I booted it up. I heard it was catchy but I had no idea.

@artman40 Because in Japan the translation of Katamari is "Clump Spirit" which I think is more appropriate considering the the bulk of the gameplay... but it also sounds so cute :3

Being engulfed by a Katamari would be horrifying beyond imagination. Besides the ensuing claustrophobia, you have to deal with the tortured screams of those who were crushed by an SUV or a telephone pole. But that is not all; eventually the Katamari will grow large enough to engulf landmasses. Millions of people and animals will become trapped in the massive ball, their multitude of screams coalescing together with the sound of entire continents being torn apart.

I would pay 20$ just for this opening, the japanese game producers are on some really heavy shit.

Best. Theme song. Ever. I think I'm addicted to this.

"and that's when you drove into the mailbox?" 'IT WAS COMPULSIVE!!!'

One day he just woke up in an alley way, missing a kidney, but with one of the best games ever made in his right hand.

Every morning in Japan is EXACTLY like this.

i think it's a mixture of "na na na na na na na naaa na na na na na na" and "la la la la la la"

judging by all the mushrooms in this video, Id have to say that they really were on something

wonder what it would sound like if it was made into dubstep

I actually remember playing a demo of this in a store a long while back. Yay XKCD :D

This thing creeps me out a bit. However, I can't stop watching it.

This is the best video I've ever seen on RU-vid, period.

my little sister who was 8 at the time cried when she saw this opening sequence. she wouldn't stop crying for DAYS. I liked the game, though.

This is just awesome!! It plants utself into your heard lol Oh, to those that haven't heard, theres something called the "Katamari Damacy Tribute" coming to the PS3. Yaaay!

So glad this amazing game is getting a remake, on Switch and PC no less!

my guess is that there was 10 japaneese guys sitting around smoking pot, and one of them had game-making software. Still, BEST GAME EVER

Best theme ever ... of all time

I see... shrooms come from the King of the Cosmos, he just sprinkles his magic dust on the ground and shrooms pop up everywhere XD

I think it was those magic mushrooms in the background!

I love the pandas their my fav in all the openings

this is terrifying. nightmares for a week.

This video was uploaded in 2006 Man, time passes by fast, doesn’t it?

Yes. You are really the only person in the entire universe who loves this song. NO, of course not, silly! Why would you even ask something like that?

I bet that if you got high while playing this game you'd never come back down lool

Someone was totally tripping on LSD

this people, is the perfect game to play while you are on drugs

This should be Japan's national anthem.

If I had to describe Japan in one minute, I would just show this video.

...Wow. I've officially lost it... ...Now, please excuse me as I go search for more acid...

The King of the Universe. The woman is the queen and the little guy is the prince. The game is wierd but fun.

shuld i be mad,laughing or cry after this? i dunno

That was one hell of a trip man.

I want this played at my funeral.

We actually asked the creator what drugs where involved. He couldn't reply. We asume he was too high on them to remember.

wtf is up with the King's son, the Prince?! I mean the KING OF THE COSMOS WRECKED THE STARS! And is now asking his SON to rebuild the stars FOR HIM?! I would turn him down as soon as he asked me...I mean honestly, unless you get it on one of the eternal levels, the King always says "This is good, but We could've done better." And besides, who the hell is this "WE"?

The song that play when your high as shi

It's so much fun! Gotta love katamari.

I came here after listening to Richard Cheese... It vaguely reminded me of Katamari, so here I am now. xD

this is, by far, the most origional game out there...and the most fun. i love this game!! =)

now that's some powerful drug O_o

Monty Python+LSD+Japan=Katamari

this is one minute of complete epicness.

uncannily similar to my first thoughts playing it

I knew about Katamari before Freddiew made a video about it.

and there was magic mushrooms at 00:38 lol acutally i love this song :P

Don't play this while you're high, trust me.

I was taking an exam on Saturday(the OLSAT test) and I happened to have this stuck in my head.

I just had the craziest acid trip... Never mind.

i think it was mandatory for them to walk into work on high on shrooms + weed.

Wouldn´t it be epic if the King of all Cosmos would really exist?

I looooove katamari damacy.

how can i put videos on loop? i just can't get enough of katamari damacy! people give me strange looks for humming the song

Hmm...Is this the kinda stuff you see when you're high?

I love this song!

@TheOromis Yeah, I was just browsing through XKCD randomly when that comic came up. Of course I had to check out this video immediately thereafter. :D

ditto XD the person who made this intro had to be on crack!!

WOW! This is an example of smoking opium and creating a video game...

This must be what it's like to be high.

Drugs? No. Simply, japanese have imagination. Something that most of western gamers don't have anymore

the creator dropped some bad acid

still it seems like the maker was stoned

Just an another normal day in Japan

What about Noby Noby Boy? I guess he was smoking double the amount he smoked during Katamari.

Essas folhas e esses cogumelos são meio suspeitos.

There is no WAY drugs weren't involved in making this game

I'm here because of egoraptor, Little Kuriboh, Rucka Rucka Ali, The Yogscast AND freddiew. Then I decided to look it up.

NAAAAA NaNa NaNa Na Na Na...NaNaKatmari Damacy! :D

I bought Katamari today. Love it!

Watching this makes me want to be a junkie game designer...

naaaaaa naanaanaananana its katamari damacyyy!!!!
