We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie is We ♥ Katamari with five brand-new levels, downloadable content, and twice as many abusive fathers.

To do: There exists untranslated development text relating to UI elements within prefab-ui_assets_all_e81682c28faca4d3d1452ac3b9307e9c.bundle. The unused collection strings likely exist in the original We ♥ Katamari as well, but this needs to be researched.

Unused Text

Collection

The comment asset located in scriptableobject_assets_all_0ff3f5d7e008773609ea80b91100a39f.bundle features two unique and fully-translated Collection descriptions for the in-game Hansel and Gretel objects. However, the twins are never unlocked in the Collection outside of the credits game, where the two of them are condensed into one object with its own description.

Hansel:

A fine lad who always brushes his teeth after eating candy.

Gretel:

A girl who loves making sweets. She's the youngest patissiere around.

Unused Sounds

Gameplay

GM52SLOT2

This brass hit sound is typically reserved throughout the series for when the King first displays the rules of a level, but its filename implies it to be the sound effect that should play when the "slot machine" roulette stops after you complete a level. This name is likely an error, as SL16SHOW_gm is used instead for both occasions.

Book Worm

HT02LGHTUP

HT03LGHTUP

This stage is supposed to contain three unique roll-up sounds, but the Se sound effect table located in scriptableobject_assets_all_0ff3f5d7e008773609ea80b91100a39f.bundle erroneously calls HT01LGHTUP for all three sound effects, leaving the other two unused.

Float Boy

LK06BUBBL3

Similarly to the sounds in Book Worm's stage, this level is supposed to feature a unique sound for dashing underwater, but the Se table erroneously calls LK05BUBBL2 a second time, leaving it unused.

Unused Music

M20_PITTARI

The Beck song "Get Real Paid" can be found within m20_pittari_52cd03a186c1974a1b57d0c43f6cf208.bundle. The song choice is questionable, given that the lyrics include such lines as "Thursday night, I think I'm pregnant again, touch my ass if you're qualified."

Unused Graphics

We ♥ Katamari Leftovers

In image_assets_all_25ab0299c82bcc81ba7616396f0b9871.bundle, every image used to create the pre-rendered prologue can be found, along with six screenshots that were used to align parts of the cutscene during development.
