PaRappa the Rapper

This book details PaRappa the Rapper, a 1990s PlayStation 1 video game. The game is sort of like Guitar Hero. But you need to press PlayStation controller buttons to match the beat of the music playing. You start in Master Onion's dogo. There are 4 or 5 other situations where you must match the beat.

The game was developed in Japan. It was released well before any similar genre like Dance Dance Revolution. The book does not go into how the characters in the game appear like they are made of paper and are super thin.

Apparently there was at least one sequel with a similar name. There was also another follow up game with the same character, but had a different name.
