Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Released in December 1996 in Japan, September 1997 in Europe, and November 1997 in the US, PaRappa the Rapper is a Rhythm Game for the PlayStation.The game follows the (mis)adventures of a rapping puppy named PaRappa who attempts to improve himself in order to impress Sunny Funny, the girl he has a crush on, despite being intimidated by the presence of Joe Chin, a rich and narcissistic dog who is also trying to woo Sunny. How does he win Sunny's heart? By rapping his way to glory, of course!The game works like this: Every stage has one character who raps a song and ask you to perform certain tasks, like learning karate, learning how to drive, selling things at a flea market, etc. in time with the music. You hit a button at the right moment as indicated on a bar at the top of the screen. Effectively, it's a video game version of Simon. Do well and you'll make it through the song; do too badly and you'd have to try again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })But, the rap twist is that during gameplay, PaRappa can deviate heavily from the "teacher", creating his own twisted yet awesome string of button mashes and random sentences, and still score points. In fact, by creating original lines that are synchronized with the rhythm and beat of the teacher's lines, the player can access freestyle-mode and get better endings.It is a very short and simple game, but the unique premise, the appealing Paper People artstyle, and the unbelievably catchy songs made it an instant cult classic. It's not only seen as the first definitive modern Rhythm Game, but probably the most influential. Pretty much every Rhythm Game created since, from DanceDanceRevolution to Guitar Hero to beatmania, owes at least a little to PaRappa, if only for starting things off. The game is still highly regarded today, with a 88% on GameRankings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The game got a large boost from PlayStation Jampack CDs which often included the entire first level (Chop Chop Master Onion) playable.PaRappa also produced a spinoff in 1999 called Um Jammer Lammy, featuring a guitar-playing lamb named Lammy but otherwise borrowing much of the same gameplay concepts and style. PaRappa himself is an unlockable character in his own side-story. This game spawned an album called Make It Sweet!, credited to MilkCan, the in-universe band Lammy plays in. A direct sequel named PaRappa the Rapper 2 was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2001, which once more focused on PaRappa (but with cameos from the MilkCan members).PaRappa has appeared in other media as well. There was also an Anime of the Game by the same name that lasted two seasons and introduced Canon Foreigner characters. Before the anime debuted, Rodney Greenblat, the game's illustrator, had created a series of comic books that are decidedly more true to the game than the anime. Later on another anime would air centering on PJ that would also be closer to the games.On April 26, 2012, PaRappa was announced as a playable inclusion in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. On December 2015, PaRappa the Rapper 2 was given a re-release on the PlayStation Network, and in April 2017, the original game received a remake titled PaRappa the Rapper Remastered for the PlayStation 4.Tropes: | |

Frothy Mugs of Water | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_17c7c925 | comment |
Frothy Mugs of Water: Only in the U.S. version of PaRappa 2, Stage 1, even though Beard Burger Master's voice says, "You better get in line!" his lips say, "Taste better than wine!", which was in the Japanese and European versions. Justified in Stage 7, in any version of PaRappa 2, when Colonel Noodles raps, "Noodles are the best, no doubt, can't deny, taste better than water, but don't ask me why," in a nod to his father's "Taste better than wine" lyric (Japan/Europe version only), before water pours down at Noodle on cue. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Downplayed. If you succeed in Cool Mode in the first game, the ending cutscene in every stage but the first and last changes slightly. For example, winning normally in Stage 2 shows PaRappa getting his picture taken for his drivers license, but he sneezes while getting the picture taken. Winning in Cool Mode shows PaRappa getting his picture taken without sneezing, resulting in his ID photo looking more flattering. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: If you fail Stage 1 of PaRappa 2, Beard Burger Master will say, "Oh man, that was bad. And what is with this noodle thing?" (presumably referring to the noodle pattern that appears around the screen and covers the background in Bad and Awful modes respectively). PaRappa then sighs, "I always screw up at the beginning..." | |

Tutorial Failure | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_27f3fc7 | comment |
Tutorial Failure: In PaRappa the Rapper 2 every level would have Boxy give the player a practice round by giving sample lyrics from the song they would be playing. While it is a good thing to have, the only problem is the practice/tutorial sections are played at the slowest speed possible while the majority of the songs themselves play much faster than that. You have to learn to adjust to the song's tempo and difficulty yourself. | |

Easter Egg | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: By holding up on the D-Pad, an easter egg will occur in every stage but the fourth and fifth ones. The first stage has multiple eggs: An onion student showering behind the dojo doors and hidden ninjas appearing in various places. In the second stage, Prince Fleaswallow can be seen on the side of the street. In the third stage, a fly will wander into the flea market and Fleaswallow will live up to his name. In the sixth stage, holding down will cause PaRappa to bust a move. Pressing any buttons during this easter egg will stop the animation. | |

Pursuing Parental Perils | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_38ecca80 | comment |
Pursuing Parental Perils: We learn in the intro to Stage 7 of PaRappa 2 that Beard Burger Master became so obsessed with burgers and their research that he would compel his son Colonel Noodles to eat burgers daily along with everyone else, including Noodles' mother, who became so obsessed with burgers that she turned into one (figuratively). Even worse was that Noodle had become destined to become a burger shop owner like his dad from the day he was born. We're assuming that Beard Burger Master died being obsessed with burger research, and after Noodles ate some pasta and noodles because he loved noodles more than burgers, he decided to start on noodle research and do to the citizens of PaRappa Town what his burger-obsessed father did to him years ago: compel them to eat noodles daily until the day he would die, which is very dangerous indeed! | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: One of the comics centers around Katy winning a free shopping spree. She gets everything her cart can carry, but she runs into some problems. She can barely fit all of what she bought into her cramped apartment, and when she buys a bunch of fancy electronics (a phone, a laptop, a television and a DVD player) PJ notes that Katy will need to buy phone service, internet service, cable service and movies to make them work. Katy is put off by that because she doesn't have enough money to do that. | |

No Fair Cheating: Pausing a level would make it much easier to time your button presses; the games close this loophole by forcing a level restart if you try it. | |

Actionized Sequel: The first game was about things like taking karate classes, getting a part time job, and getting a driver's license. The second game eventually becomes a game about saving the world from a dietary fate. | |

| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_4fc0aaa7 | comment |
In 2, the second level "Romantic Love" also does this to an extent. Specifically when reaching/losing Cool Mode and getting worse/failing the level. The former as Master Onion will say that now it's PaRappa's turn to lead, and then brings the whole TV set into PaRappa's living room as if he's the focus of the show now. The latter as Master Onion apparently knows when PaRappa is doing badly and calls him out when he fails the level. | |

Feather Fingers: Mostly averted. Nearly all PaRappa characters have humanlike hands regardless of species, including frogs, octopi, and even plants. Interestingly, Cheap Cheap Chicken is one of the few characters, if not the only character, with appendages appropriate for her species, but she seems to be able to manipulate objects just as easily as any human-handed Funny Animal. | |

Lip Lock: Mostly averted, but a noticeable one occurs in the second game; one of the lyrics in the first stage is "Heat!" Except in Japanese, he says a word that has his mouth is in the shape of an "o". This was never changed for English release, so it looks very odd. | |

| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_75eb8771 | comment |
Mad Libs Dialogue: The first PaRappa game was very prone to this with PaRappa himself with most of his lyrics being obviously spliced to match the button inputs. The sequel does a better job at hiding it, but on the higher difficulty levels, both PaRappa and the masters fall into the trope hard due to how much remixing the lyrics are given and it can sound quite hilarious at times. The sequel's 2 player mode also falls into this since the game will adjust the lyrics to match the button presses of the previous player if it thinks they freestyled good enough. | |

Denser and Wackier | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_8a07e085 | comment |
Denser and Wackier: The first PaRappa is fairly down-to-earth and plausible, with challenges such as "passing a driving exam" and "baking a cake", and the title character's main goal being to impress the girl he likes. Um Jammer Lammy, the next game in the series, gets considerably more bizarre, but most of the individual stages are still somewhat grounded at the very least, and the main goal of "get to the concert venue on time" isn't particularly out there. PaRappa 2, on the other hand, involves a Shrink Ray, a crazed hairdresser giving everyone spontaneously growing afros, a video game that leaves the player unable to eat anything but noodles ever again if they should lose, and the overall crux of the plot to turn all the food in the world into noodles. | |

The Television Talks Back | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_8c30ad0 | comment |
The Television Talks Back: There was an entire level in PaRappa the Rapper like this. A subversion, as Cheap Cheap's literally right next to him. (The "television" is actually a frame she kept around herself, for some reason. This is revealed only if you're in "Cool" mode, and if you start doing badly note she'll stomp right out of the TV frame to teach PaRappa how to cook personally, and what's also curious is how she has a TV filter to her voice while speaking through the television, which goes away as soon as she comes to PaRappa in person. (This is lampshaded by PaRappa asking her how she got out of the TV.) In 2, the second level "Romantic Love" also does this to an extent. Specifically when reaching/losing Cool Mode and getting worse/failing the level. The former as Master Onion will say that now it's PaRappa's turn to lead, and then brings the whole TV set into PaRappa's living room as if he's the focus of the show now. The latter as Master Onion apparently knows when PaRappa is doing badly and calls him out when he fails the level. | |

Retraux: The sixth level in PaRappa 2 is a 16 -bit video game game. Or if you're doing badly, 8-bit. Or if you're doing really badly, Atari 2600 on an Oscillascope display. Subverted if you're doing awesomely, which is in the 32 or 64-bit style. | |

Evil Costume Switch | |

Evil Costume Switch: Colonel Noodles in PaRappa 2. After failing to turn all the burgers into noodles in Stage 1, he moves away during the news report in the intro to Stage 2, and now switches to his signature costume in the intro to Stages 4 and 7. During the rap battle with PaRappa, while they are still convincing each other about which food is better, Noodles suddenly raps that noodles "taste better than water" before water pours down at Noodles on cue, washing his plate off of him along with his glasses and his noodle afro hat; and he is now fully convinced that other foods taste just as good, resulting in a Good Costume Switch back to normal in Stage 8. | |

Mickey Mousing: Present in the first game and Um Jammer Lammy, where the effects and characters on stage move and change as the protagonist plays worse and worse, and them music becomes a little lamer to reflect it. Omitted in the second game in favor of noodles that overwhelm the stage instead. In the first game, Master Onion will drop his battle-ready stance and lazily start relaxing on his knee or outright lay down if PaRappa does poorly, Mooselini's car will start shaking and swerving out of control as PaRappa proves he doesn't deserve his drivers license yet, Fleaswallow's flea market will start breaking down and outright collapse from PaRappa's terrible bartering skills, Cheap Cheap will leave her film set to personally berate PaRappa if he's not cooking well enough, and the final stage with the concert will have the crowd disperse and the stage lights focus on PaRappa if he sings poorly. In Um Jammer Lammy, Master Onion's dream will get more and more unstable and nightmarish as Lammy plays badly, the fire Chief Puddle's trying to extinguish will intensify and eventually engulf the building because Lammy failed to put it out, all the babies under Cathy Pillar's care will get more cranky and start crying because Lammy can't put them to sleep, Fussenpepper's plane will experience a hellish amount of turbulence and regularly nosedive if Lammy proves to be a bad co-pilot, the tree Paul Chuck's trying to carve will start losing its balance and snapped in half to ruin the guitar being carved, Teriyaki's audience will start getting electrocuted, roused into a hellish tidal wave of souls and eventually start splitting open to reveal the void of hell itself if Lammy isn't a good enough guitarist, and like PaRappa before her own personal concert will have the audience ditch the party if Lammy still isn't good enough to perform. | |

Each of the games starts with the characters watching a movie (usually involving "Jet Baby") with the same weird monster. Then, before the first level starts, they go to "Chunky Burger." In UJL, they even take the exact same dialogue for the bully characters who come in as when they did in the first game. | |

Yank the Dog's Chain: PaRappa 2 kicks off the adventure with PaRappa winning a lifetime supply of noodles and growing sick of eating them. He goes to a burger joint to eat something different and sees that their food have become noodles as well! With a bit of help from the ghost of the Beard Burger Master, PaRappa fixes the issue and is about to enjoy his ice cream, only for it to instantly turn into noodles afterwards. | |

Paper People: There's about one character in the game who isn't in this style. Everyone else is paper-thin. Besides stylistic reasons, this decision was likely made to get past the PS1's hardware limitations; either way, it stuck since. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The sequel has the difficulty drop during a song if you are screwing up and drop down in rank by making the lyrics more simple, which means less buttons to press or the buttons being spaced farther apart for a slower rhythm. If you do drop down in rank, you get to repeat the section again so you have a shot of recovering. | |

Family-Friendly "Mature" Content: stage 2 is called "Strictly For Adults". Parappa and PJ find a TV show called Romantic Karate. It is prefaced with a content warning saying the show is "strictly for adults". Parappa interprets this as a way to prove his maturity. | |

Limited Animation | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_e034faef | comment |
Limited Animation: The first game, for all its style, had pretty stiff and limited movements in its cutscenes. Alleviated in the levels proper with smoother movement, although everyone's face moved like a slideshow as they emoted and sang. Um Jammer Lammy gave its cutscenes proper movement if still a little stiff thanks to its art style, but everyone's faces were still limited in how they move. The second main game moved past all these previous quirks with the most fluid movement and facial expressions the game series has seen, however. | |

It's actually a pretty popular name in the PaRappa Universe. In a Creator Cameo version, PaRappa Town is in "Rodney State", after Rodney Greenblat. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| PaRappa the Rapper (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: Provided by the original game's cumbersome timing window. This game also debuted before the advent of TVs with extensive video and audio pre-processing, and hence it has no lag adjustment options. Good luck playing it on a modern TV. Even more egregious is that this wasn't fixed in the remaster, despite both Um Jammer Lammy and Parappa 2 featuring massive improvements to the timing window. | |
