your right slowly. The cuckoo clock is on the wall with very
little space for you to stand in front of it. I stood there
until the cuckoo came out because I had tried to time it but was
unsuccessful so I just waited for it to hit the katamari on it's
own, there is also a present right next to the cuckoo as well.

on the side that has the bus stop and phone booth.
20. 4th Step
Location: Urchin Town/Make a Star 7
How to Find: "Get this - it's UNDERWATER on Make a Star 7. I was tooling
around in the water thinking it was somewhere around the corner
or something and i hear the "bloop", and the words "4th step"
appearing in the lower left of my screen o___O. The best I can
say is that it's in the dark blue area of the water, kinda close
to where the falling stuff enters the water. It's really REALLY
trial and error to find this one..." ~ submitted by nyekobug
Where the falling stuff enters the water...roll over to it,
facing where the stuff is falling from. To the left, only a
small bit is where the step is. I have a feeling it moves
underwater as I was standing still and it just kinda popped on
to my katamari. But I do know for sure that it is very close to
the items that are falling into the water. I have taken some
screen shots of the location. So if you would like to see them
please e-mail me.

out of the ground.

How to Find: From the top of the table, there is a ruler that acts as a bridge

Whirlpool Point. Once you are there, climb up to where the
houses are. Work your way through until you reach the bridge.
Head over the bridge but stop at the very end of it. Look
slightly to your left, attached to the building is the Hotel Sign
and it's somewhat small, so be careful not to miss it. If you
get too big, it will disappear, that's why I suggest you head
there as soon as you can. It's a vertical sign attached to the
building side.

Once you are at the bridge stop and make a 180 degree turn to
face back the way you came. There are two buildings to your
right. The one closest to the water has the Company Sign on it.
Like the Hotel Sign, it's small, so be careful not to miss it as
well as it will disappear if you get to big. It's also a
vertical attached to the building.

rocks.
