Touch My Katamari - The Great Journey

WOOHOOOOOOO, I get to record my favorite Touch My Katamari stage! :) Maybe I should start with the normal stages then record the DLC in order, but nah, I didn't even try to restrain myself. I skipped right to my favorite, DLC stage #9 The Great Journey. I am using Katsukity's Vita video capture device, playing on a modified Vita and recording using a PC. The relatively low-quality video is because of my tablet PC's limitations, and the sound quality isn't great because I'm just letting the Vita make sound and recording with the PC's microphone. Hopefully I can improve my recording setup to improve the quality, but this is fine for now. The stage result was good this time but could be better. I didn't get as big as I'd like to in the second-last area, and then I missed getting the warp mushroom then the castle just after (which helps your diameter due to this stage's quirks). I don't think I got any manta rays running around the second-last area's edge. Due to all of that, late in the next area I was well below 990m, the optimal size for the King-chair double grab. But I did get the King-chair double grab. :) And I went over 1000m, I was just well short of the desired 1005m. ... And I finally get to record this stage and this game. :D I discussed diameter strategy in this stage at (too much) length in 2012 here:
