The King of All Cosmos is a playable mascot in Crossy Road that first appeared in the Halloween Update (2016). The King is currently grouped with the other Katamari mascots in the Katamari section.
Appearance[]
The King of All Cosmos has grey skin, black hair and beard, a blue jacket and brownish pants with a gold belt. He also has a white collar and gold crown.
Characteristics[]
When moving, the sound of a record being scratched can be heard over the music. The King of All Cosmos can also send rainbow lines forward which turn any object in front of them rainbow-colored. A bonus feature is that on the run start screen, he can be seen posing lazily on the grass. As with all the Katamari mascots, there is a mix of cars and cattle to avoid on the roads. Turning enough objects rainbow-colored will unlock the Queen of All Cosmos. The King of All Cosmos is also one of the tallest characters in Crossy Road, and the tallest humanoid in Crossy Road.
How to Obtain[]
The King of All Cosmos cannot be unlocked by the Prize Machine because it is a secret mascot. To unlock him, the player should follow these steps:
- Unlock and play as The Prince of All Cosmos.
- Collect items from the ground to make your Katamari Ball bigger.
- Eventually when you collect enough you will unlock The King of All Cosmos. You do not need to collect all the items in one round.
Trivia[]
- The Katamari mascots are based on the characters of the third-person puzzle/action video game, Katamari Damacy.
- In Japanese, Katamari (塊) means "clump" or "clod" and Damashii is the rendaku form of tamashii (魂) which means "soul" or "spirit". Therefore, the phrase approximates to "clump soul".
- In the game, the Cosmos has been destroyed by the King of All Cosmos because of his binge-drinking. To rebuild the stars, constellations, and the Moon, the Prince of All Cosmos must collect objects by rolling them into an ever-increasing Katamari ball until they are large enough to become stars.
- In Katamari Damacy, the King of All Cosmos is very lazy and Crossy Road has captured this idea by having the King start each round lazing around on the grass before he starts each run.
- The graphic artist, Keita Takahashi, originally designed the characters with heads shaped like hammers, for a game called Action Drive. The hammer heads would stun humans and steering wheels would be attached to the humans’ heads. When production on Action Drive was discontinued, the characters were recycled for use in Katamari Damacy.
- The King's death sound effect is the same sound effect for when you roll up Jumboman in the Katamari games.
