Credits Stage

The Credits Stage is an area in most Katamari Games. It is the area where the developers of the game are showcased, usually alongside a minigame to play while the credits roll.
== Katamari Damacy ==
The Credits Stage in Katamari Damacy involves The Prince rolling the Moon around on earth like a katamari, picking up countries. The song that accompanies this minigame is Katamari of Love. When you roll up a country, it's name will appear on a bar on the side. After the credits, it is revealed that the Hoshino Family was rolled up in the moon, and depending on how many countries are rolled up, more of the family will be present. For 100%, all 195 countries must be rolled up.

In the credits stage of We ♥ Katamari, the Cousin runs around the Select Meadow, trying to escape the King who is rolling the sun behind them. If the King catches them, the credits will roll in darkness, making this the first credits game in the series you can lose. The goal of this minigame is to try to get the king to roll up the cousins and fans, without being rolled up yourself. Across cousins and fans, a total of 70 entities need to be rolled up for 100%. The song used for this minigame is A Song for the King of Kings. After the credits, there is a cutscene where The King talks to the baby Prince, hoping he will become big and strong. The Queen is first seen, waving from the castle but past that, is seen waving from a hot air balloon. The more times you play, the more variations of this cutscene can be unlocked. Multiple different ending quotes from The Queen and The King, are shown at the end of the stage. The King only has one ending quote in We ❤️ Katamari, but he has more quotes in Katamari Forever. Different ones appear depending on if you fail, if you roll everyone up but haven't acquired all the cousins, or if you fully finished it.
=== We ❤️ Katamari version ===
"Ah... So close. Just a tad, a trifling, a little more. The story of your life, isn't it? -The King of All Cosmos
"Roll in more fans, for Cosmos' sake!! Names of the crew? I certainly don't want to see those. This is a game, after all. Amuse us!" -The Queen of All Cosmos
"I'm a little disappointed. What do you think you're doing, refusing to roll up these poor people? It's boring to just have the credits!" -The Queen of All Cosmos
"Everyone seemed to enjoy being rolled into a katamari, but... There must be more Katamari fans around somewhere! Don't just believe what's in front of your eyes!" -The Queen of All Cosmos
"All the fans look so happy ♥️ They're all rolled up in a Katamari, after all. That was another one of my ideas. Isn't it dreamy?" -The Queen of All Cosmos
=== Katamari Forever version ===
"Wha?! Over already?! We so wanted to listen to that awesome song to the very end…" -The King
"Why is it over already when We're having fun? You're in Our soup!" -The King
"Oh hon, I can't say I'm thrilled. It's not nice. Make sure you roll everyone up next time, OK?" -The Queen
"You rolled up all the fans! How wonderful! Everyone looks so happy!" -The Queen
== Me & My Katamari ==
The Credits Stage of Me & My Katamari is a throwback to classic arcade games, having the game be in 8-bit. In this game, the Cousin rolls around a katamari, rolling and jumping through a side scrolling (auto scrolling) level. Many 8-bit cousins can be picked up. The way to get 100% is to reach a sufficient size. At the end of this stage, The Queen can be seen from the castle, waving a handkerchief at the player. A copy of this game in mobile form known as Katamari Damacy-Kun had more stages, but is currently unavailable to play. A sequel with more cousins and a total of 24 stages was released as well, which is also unplayable.
