How it feels
A breezy, infectiously cheerful rhythm game where tapping along to catchy rap beats feels like bouncing through an animated music video.

About
The original music video game. Help Parappa rap with the best of the master rappers and straight into Sunny's heart. Guaranteed you'll be singin' and dancin' along with Parappa and his pals to the most fun music mixes.
What players say
A wildly stylish, endearingly weird rhythm game with iconic music and personality, beloved for its charm despite notoriously laggy, divisive timing that frustrates as much as it delights.
