So, since I just beat Katamari Damacy, and it is long from over, I thought a good thing to do next is unlock all the levels.
So, The eternals was next.
I unlocked the first eternal rather quickly, but now I am stuck on the second.

When I first played, the first score I got on MAS 8 was 24m 69cm, first try.
Then I tried to unlock it later, and I couldn't remember the route I took to get there.
I tried Sloobro's route, reaching under 20m, then 23m, and now I cant get higher than 24m.

Any useful tips that would apply to this?

I hate this one even when you got eternal it's hard to get past 26m what I do is wait till I know I can roll up something bigger then jump right after it.

pretty much the same tips as before. don't stop moving, know when you can pick up items, grab all the clouds, trees, etc.

I didn't notice any clouds...

there are clouds and even a hot air balloon.
