I can get to stage 5, but I always fail miserably. I know the timing, but I always go down to awful in no time flat. Can someone help me with the actual timing? Do I push before the mark is enlarged or right as it happens? I'm kinda confused....
Thanks.
P.S. I already went to to GF.
I barely even pay attention to the meter for actual timing. Learn the button combo and play it more by ear. That's how I play PaRappa anyway.
You have to hit the button a little after Parappa's head passes the button. It's one of the things I didn't like about the first game.
But yeah, playing by ear is also a good choice.
You press the button a little after the character(Parappa head) passes the button icon... go to practice mode to test my theory out. It should tell you if you're too fast or slow.
EDIT: Hah, beat me to it.
I wish someone actually knew how the game decides what is good and what is bad for freestyling... sometimes I get COOL for no damn reason, and end up with a crown. Great, but how the fuck did I do it?
For years of trying to figure this out, I still do not know what the game denotes as good and bad freestyling. I don't know if there's some kind of pattern to this. Someone should investigate this.Quote:

I always tried playing by ear, so I never noticed the partially-late timing that's claimed.
This is why I was never a big PaRappa fan... I need rules, damnit! Give me SPC5 anyday.
Oh, and I definitely noticed the late timing... I should try doing it by ear now that a few years have gone by and I'm 1009395985x better at musical games than I used to be.
Woo!
I loooves me some Parappa, one of my fave psone games fo'sho.
"crack in the bowl, crack crack crack, bowl bowl bowl"
"The skunk over dere will bring you luck"
One of my favorite games, yet I too get dicked on the freestylin'.

I was stuck on the Chicken Stage FOREVER!! My favorite stage was the Frog stage-is it me or does he sound like Shaggy the rapper? The best stage to freestyle in is the Chop Chop Master Onion stage. I think the game frowns on you just pushing random buttons when you freestyle, I noticed I got the most points when the buttons I pressed had a rythem to them.
freestyle is simple.. you listen and mash whatever buttons to the beat.... you don't even have to look at the screen.
don't be confused... YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!Quote:

But anyway, good luck with the parappa finishing, it's a cute ending.
I love the driving stage, it was kind of a downer when my real life driving test wasn't that cool :(
You mean your driving instructor WASN'T Queen Latifah?Quote:

I've played Parappa so much, it's kinda scary actually. To this day I still have all the songs memorized, as well as a bunch of freestyles.
The cool thing about freestyling is on most of the stages, a specific word is associated with a button, so when you freestyle you can have Parappa say other stuff. :D
You gotta do what?!
He's gotta receive.
If you know what I mean.
