You're Parappa, a condifent pup who's out for one thing: to impress his daisy, Sunny Funny. With your help, Parappa will wow her with his rap-ability. You'll learn to throw it down from the best rap-masters around, and you'll beat them at their own game. And when you do, Sunny will be on Parappa's.. okay, your arm. But if you mess up, Sunny could end up being the prize blossom of jerky Joe Chin, and we wouldn't want that, would we? So remember Parappa's motto, "I gotta believe," and believe in yourself, okay? Otherwise, Parappa will never get Sunny! - Characters - (Parappa) +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ Parappa, the adorable teenage pup, | Parappa, the dude, | dreams of becoming girlfriend Sunny | the man with the plan. | Funny's only hero in life.

Learn from them, impress them - because they decide whether or not you're ready to move on. Chop Chop Master Onion: Chop Chop is the martial arts master of the Fruites Dojo, the karate training center in Parappa Town. Speaking a strange version of broken English, he is Parappa's teacher at the start of the game. Instructor Mooselini: Quick-tempered and often ill-mannered, driving instructor Mooselini is a stickler for rules and regulations. She teaches Parappa how to drive in Stage 2, but she always forgets to close the door. Prince Fleaswallow: Making a living selling old wares at the flea market, this pleasurable guy, who appears in Stage 3 of the game, doesn't seem worried about not being able to actually sell anything. Cheap Cheap the Cooking Chicken: The host of a TV cooking show, she teaches Parappa the fine art of baking a cake in Stage 4. Mostly cool-tempered, she's in the habit of laying eggs when frustrated. M.C. King Kong Mushi: The master of ceremonies at Club Fun in Stage 6 and idolized by all the youths of Parappa Town. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ (II) [Controls] - Controls - Direction Pad: Hold Left or Right to make Parappa repeat the first lyric of Parappa's rap. This is used for Freestyling! Start Button: Give up. Please note that you can't pause! ,A,X,O,L,R Buttons: Rap! Note: There's really no "A" button on the PlayStation controller, but since the letter "A" looks more like a triangle than anything else, it's just easier this way. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ (III) [Menus] - New Game - Starts the game in Stage One as Parappa. - Menu - Enters the Menu screen: Language: Change the subtitles text to either English, French, Spanish, Italian, or German. The voices are always in English, though! Hi-Score: Check out the scores you've gotten in each level. Practice: If you're cracking under the Masters' pressure, try the simple Practice screen. It's just Parappa and Katy Kat practicing the flow of the Rhythm Bar. Stage Select: Play any Stage that's been unlocked. Stages with a Lock icon haven't been beaten, a Parappa icon means it's been cleared with a GOOD rating, and a Crown means it's been cleared with a COOL rating! Replay: Watch the entire last rap from any save on a memory card. Load: Load game data from a memory card. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ (IV) [Gameplay] - What's the point of the game? - To groove with the rhythm and bust out cool raps. If you do it right, you move from level to level (and impress Sunny)! If you flub it up, you don't. The screen looks sort of like this: +--------------------------------+ | +---------1--------------+ | | +------------------------+ | | | | | | 4 2 | | | | 3 | | | | 5 | | +-------------6--------------+ | | +----------------------------+ | +--------------------------------+ 1. Rhythm Bar This tells you the buttons to push and the timing of when to push the buttons. 2. Parappa The main man, the dude, the hip hop hero. Oh yeah, this is you. 3. Rating Meter The Rating Meter starts at "GOOD", and if you play bad, you rating goes to "BAD". If you are really terrible, you go to "AWFUL". When you get worse than awful, it's game over. On the other hand, if you are doing really great, it goes to "COOL", and your teacher will disappear and you get the stage to yourself. When a Rating is blinking, it means you are halfway to a rating change. Doing well will bump you up a Rating, but failing will keep you at your current Rating. 4. The Master The Master will sing for you as an example. When it's your turn, you need to answer and copy the lyrics with your own rap. If you're not doing so well, the Master will start acting goofy and the music will go nuts. It's actually kind of cool. Give it a try. 5. Score The score reflects your rhyme-busting skills. 6. Subtitles The shows you the movie screen conversations and lyrics to the songs. Go ahead and sing along! - How To Play - Live vicariously as a cool rap star. You are Parappa, the hip hop hero seeking Sunny's heart. So, when you push the buttons, you'll rap, just like Parappa! The Master shows you the example songs, and you answer with your lyrics, get it? The game goes like this: Master's example -> your rap -> Master's example -> your rap -> and so on Basically, getting with the rhythm and pusing the buttons will work just fine. Which buttons do you press? Well, on top of the screen you will see the buttons spaced out in rhythm, so follow that. All right! - Turn Order - 1. Watch the Turn Window Whomever's turn it is to play, their face will appear in this window. When the window shows Parappa's face, it is your turn to play. 2. Watch the Rhythm Bar O, , A, X, L, and R are the kinds of buttons that are going to be shown on the Rhythm Bar. This shows you when to push which button and the timing of when you should press them. 3. First the Master When the Master's example begins with the music, the Master's face icon moves across the Rhythm Bar. After that, Parappa's face icon will move across the Rhythm Bar will the same button presses that the Master went over. When Parappa's face icon goes over a button icon, it's time to press that button. Basically, you press the buttons to the rhythm. If your beat is good enough and you get a GOOD Rating by the time the song ends, you pass to the next level! If you bomb and the Rating goes to Bad or Terrible by the time the song ends, the Teacher will make you start over. Practice makes perfect! - Freestyling: Getting A COOL Rating - The ultimate goal for each Stage is to jam really well and reach the fabled "COOL" Rating. But you can't be that cool by just following the Teacher's examples all the time. You've gotta freestyle your playing while following the beat. The easiest way to freestyle is to press a button multiple times more than needed, while following the beat. It's kind of hard to explain, so here are some examples: (Example 1: Basic Freestyling) Let's say something like this comes up on the Rhythm Bar: O - - - O - - - O - O - O - O - You could try something like this: O O O - O O O - O O O O O O O O See? All you have to do is follow the song's beat and press the button along with it. DON'T just jam the buttons randomly at any pace or you're to drop to AWFUL in no time. Get it? Got it? Good! (Example 2: Squeezing In More Notes) Here's something a little more complex: A - O - - - X - - -  And here's some freestyling that could take its place: A A A - O O O X X -     In this one, buttons were pushed before and after the verse started and finished. You CAN play before Parappa's face icon goes over the Rhythm Bar, which gives you even more time to squeeze in more notes and get a higher score. (Example 3: Less Can Be More) Okay, sometimes lines with huge amounts of notes that can be tricky to play at a decent pace. These kind of lines are just BEGGING to be freestyled. Take a look at this line: A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A Now pressing the A Button that quickly for that long can throw off your timing or wear you out. Instead of trying to hit EVERY beat there, try leaving some out, like this: A - A - A - A - A - A - A A A A Now the freestyled verse not only gives you more time to think between beat and lets you hit them more dead-on, it scores you more points for originality! _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ (V) [Stages] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Stage One: I Need to Become A Hero Kick!

What should I do to get better? The most important step to doing well is to get a feel for the rhythm. Each Stage has a different rhythm that you must get used to in order to press the buttons right. Tap your foot, sing to the music, or do anything else to feel the rhythm! Try playing Stage One over and over, or try the game's Practice modes to master the rhythm! - How do I get a "COOL" rating? There's no 'set' way to get "COOL" rating; getting a total feel for the music is the only way. Play through a level over and over, then freestyle the button-pressing when you're confident enough and know the song well enough. - Is there a sequel to this game? Sure is. Not only is there a pseudo-sequel to PaRappa the Rapper called Um Jammer Lammy, for the PlayStation, but there's a PaRappa the Rapper 2 for the PlayStation 2. - Is there a CD soundtrack I can get for this game? Yup, there's the PaRappa the Rapper Original Soundtrack, which is available only in Japan. The lyrics are all in English, though, just like in the game! It even has all the background music from all of the cutscenes. - My friend told me your can play as (whatever hidden character)... Your friend is full of baloney. - Is there a CD soundtrack I can get for this game? Yeah, but it's only available in Japan. But if you look around on the internet, there are quite a few sites that normally have it in stock. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ (IX) [Acknowledgments] -Rodney Greenblat, for creating the awesome Parappa universe. -SCEA, for making this game. -CJayC, for his devotion to GameFAQs. -Some dialog and rhymes used from the Parappa the Rapper instruction booklet. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
