Is it just me, or is getting under a minute on the underwater AFAP really a matter of struggle and sheer luck? The best way to grow after 20cm left is picking up the larger fish (I think), but their flight patterns have been hard to connect with. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Aaron, does your route work too in Underwater As Fast As Possible? Or are there modifications you can use to get it to work? I ask for the sake of myself and a person who is asking the same question on GameFAQs.

It was really hard to get under 1 minute in underwater afap for me because of the way the water hampers your movement, even when you're falling. I have done it, but its been at least a couple of months ago
. I liked to start out around where the penguins are at and pick up the stuff in front of the TV and then get those roses, those really increase your size a good bit. I'll play it again and try to get the route I used up. It may be a couple of days before I get around to doing it though, so someone may be able to help you before and better than I can

I just retried the Underwater AFAP, this should be a good route for getting that coveted super-clear
. I managed to get 0:46 seconds with it just now, and I know I could've done better. There may be better routes out there than this one, if anyone knows an alternate, feel free to post it. I wouldn't recommend CNR'ing unless you are absolutely certain nothing larger than your katamari will get in the way and that you are on flat ground. So, here we go:First, start out in front of the tiger mat where those penguins are at. I like to align myself to the left of the head so that I can roll up several of those turtle eggs, paper tigers and lollipops. Second, head straight toward that path of small objects and turtle eggs right in front of you (collect a couple of those turtle eggs first if need be--you need to have at least 27cm 8mm or so before you can roll up the roses) and turn right and CNR along that path of roses. As I said before, the roses are good additions to your size. Sometimes, a path of large fish may get in your way so watch out! Third, keep heading straight. You should see a stack of large crabs there. Head into the patch of seagrass, do not charge here because it can cause you to fly through the water too far and lose precious time. Try to have good enough momentum when you roll off the hill though (use the water physics to your advantage ), if you're lucky, you can snag a school of green clownfish. Right after that, head into the other patch of seagrass further up to the left, snagging the turtle eggs and the school of angelfish. You should have definately sized up by now, if you were lucky, you sized up at the school of clownfish.Fourth, roll around in the same area, being sure to roll up plenty of those fiddler crabs, some carp, (turtles are great too if you're large enough, a couple of cm over the size up) and those snorkels and googles at the far end of the strip. CNR whenever you can, if the path is clear of those large crabs. The snorkels are also really good at boosting your size. You can head down even farther and get those paint cans and brushes. It's a pretty good strecth here, I think it's safe to CNR along here for the most part. Fifth, at this point, you should be pretty close to acheiving the goal, about 7cm 7mm left. Now, head straight past where you rolled up those paint cans. You should come upon an area with a bunch of bottles of india ink. Roll up those three stacked squids to the left. After that, go directly to the right and roll up that octopus on top of the pots. If you still hadn't hit the goal (which was the case with me), and only have about 1cm left or so to go, just CNR off those pots and you should float through the water and hit a school of fish to hit that goal. I hope that was an okay route to follow. Of course, you may need to try again several times before you hit the goal, because sometimes those damn crabs just get in the way of a good path. Again, if someone else has a better path, you can post it here instead. |

Thanks!
With your help I just got my first ever super-clear in that stage. But I still need a lot of practice before I can reach your time.That's a really good walkthrough. You should e-mail it to Vix and see if she wants to include it in the FAQ. 'Cause a lot of people have trouble with that stage. It's fun to go off that tiny hill and see how many little fish you can pick out of the bush. |

Yes it is, I agree, it is very fun .
I'm so happy that I could help you! Just keep practicing; some of it is kind of luck at times, those large crabs are *very* annoying at times. But, I will pick up on your advice and pm the FAQ to vix. Thanks for the nice comments, slo_bro ! Hopefully, it'll help your friend on gameFAQs as well. |
