1	[[WMG:[=PaRappa's=] Hat Theories]]
2	Since the beginning of the music game genre, there has been one question that has boggled man's mind:
3	WHAT THE HELL'S UNDER PARAPPA'S HAT?
4
5	The bipedal rapping dog has never taken off his hat at any point of the game, or possibly his life.
6
7	The issue of what [=PaRappa=] looks like underneath his beanie is such a video-game-character-related issue, that the upper half this WMG has been dedicated to finding an answer.
8
9	* PRHT 1: [=PaRappa's=] bald.
10	* PRHT 2: [=PaRappa=] has red hair.
11	* PRHT 3: [=PaRappa=] ''doesn't have a scalp''. His hat is the only thing encasing his brain.
12	* PRHT 4: [=PaRappa's=] a robot, and the hat hides his cranial circuitry.
13	* PRHT 5: [=PaRappa's=] head is shaped exactly like his hat.
14	* PRHT 6: [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Ed, Edd, and Eddy's]] universe is contained under his hat. [[RecursiveReality His universe is contained under Double D's]].
15	* PRHT 7: [=PaRappa's=] hat is the one thing that lets him literally have a grip on his sanity.
16	* PRHT 8: [=PaRappa's=] hat is part of his head.
17	* PRHT 9: [=PaRappa=] keeps drugs in his hat (which would explain a lot.)
18	** PRHT 9.1: He gives those drugs to the makers of the games. Talk about ForTheLulz.
19	* PRHT 10: [=PaRappa's=] brain is stored in his hat.
20	* PRHT 11: [=PaRappa=] ''is'' his hat. Everything else is just a meat puppet.
21	* PRHT 12: [=PaRappa's=] hat is what grants him his [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphism]]. If he goes too long without it, he [[EvolutionaryLevels degenerates down the]] SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism until he becomes [[BroughtDownToNormal your average]] [[PhlebotinumInducedStupidity non-sentient,]] [[FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter four-legged dog.]]
22	* PRHT 13: [=PaRappa=] hides a ThirdEye under his hat.
23	* PRHT 14: [=PaRappa's=] [[OurSoulsAreDifferent soul]] is stored in his hat.
24	* PRHT 15: [=PaRappa=] has an EmbarrassingTattoo on his head.
25	* PRHT 16: [=PaRappa=] has a [[FunnyAfro comically oversized afro]] crammed under his hat. Especially considering Stage 5 of PaRappa the Rapper 2.
26	--> '''Hairdresser Octopus:''' "Hey, take that stupid hat off. What does it look like in there?"
27	--> '''[=PaRappa=]:''' "Aaa, I'm not sure myself."
28	* PRHT 17: The Bermuda Triangle leads to the inside of [=PaRappa's=] hat.
29	* PRHT 18: [=PaRappa=] has a [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} Reverse Brain Slug]] under his hat.
30	* PRHT 19: [=PaRappa=]'s hat is acutally a headband, and he just has [[IdiotHair Idiot Hair]].
31	* PRHT 20: [=PaRappa=] has blonde hair, like the anime. (i think (i'm unsure))
32	* PRHT 21: [=PaRappa=] has [[StubbornHair horrifically untamable hair]] under his hat that got so matted that it ''tangled with the fibers of the hat.'' Any attempts to remove the hat have ended in failure.
33	* PRHT 22: [=PaRappa=] hides nothing. Literally nothing. Under his hat is a ''black hole.''
34	----
35
36	!!Now for other theories about the [=PaRappa=] [[TheVerse Universe]]
37
38	[[WMG: Sunny Funny's genitalia is inside her head.]]
39	* [[RealLife Real world]] flowers are the reproductive part of the plant. Sunny Funny has a ''[[FridgeHorror flower for]] [[{{Squick}} a head]]''. What that says about what she has [[DoubleEntendre downstairs]] is kind of [[VaginaDentata unsettling]].
40
41	[[WMG: Katy Kat smokes when nobody's looking.]]
42	* I can't be the only guy to notice that Katy's voice gets [[VocalEvolution shriller and raspier]] with every sequel. There's definitely some damage to her larynx going on.
43
44	[[WMG: ''Parappa The Rapper'' is set in the same [[TheVerse universe]] as ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''.]]
45	* Think about it. Both are set in a MundaneFantastic WorldOfWeirdness populated with {{Funny Animal}}s and AnthropomorphicObjects that [[LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy coexist with humans]].
46
47	[[WMG: ''Parappa The Rapper'' is set in the same [[TheVerse universe]] as ''VideoGame/PopNMusic''.]]
48
49	[[WMG: ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' is set in the same [[TheVerse universe]] as these games.]]
50	* Proof of this is the first issue of the comic has a DMV instructor who bears a strong resemblance to Instructor Moosilini, in the second issue the Karate Instructor bears a strong resemblance to Chop Chop Master Onion... now either this is true or the writer is a HUGE fan of Parappa the Rapper!
51
52	[[WMG: The ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' parody (where [=PaRappa=] was defending himself in court and was shot by King Kong Mushi) happened.]]
53	How else could he have been able to play [[PlanetHeck Stage 6 of]] ''[[PlanetHeck Lammy]]''?
54	* Well, if you're playing the ''US'' version, maybe he took a plane.
55	* The cutscenes for [=PaRappa=]'s story mode in ''VideoGame/UmJammerLammy'' [[GameplayAndStorySegregation don't appear to have any correlation towards the actual levels]], plus the title screens for each stage having a day of the week in [=PaRappa=]'s story mode appears to suggest that [=PaRappa=]'s story occurs over a week as opposed to within 15 minutes like Lammy's story.
56
57	[[WMG: In ''Um Jammer Lammy'', the object that [=PaRappa=] thought he was holding in his hand within the DummiedOut [=PaRappa=]'s take on Chop Chop Master Onion's song was a microphone.]]
58	* I mean, I guess it makes sense, considering the theme of the game(s).
59
60	[[WMG: Taste of Teriyaki is a song about someone who loves two people.]]
61
62	[[WMG: Katy was born in [[WesternAnimation/MaoMaoHeroesOfPureHeart Pure Heart Valley]], and managed to escape from it way before the Ruby got cracked.]]
63	* Given that most of the sweetiepies are AmazingTechnicolorWildlife, and there's seemingly no other technicolor wildlife besides Katy in Parappa Town, this sorta makes sense.
64
65	[[WMG: The Anime takes place before the games.]]
66
67	* Parappa and his friends seem to be kids, high school age at the oldest in the anime, but in the games Parappa seems to be in his late teens.
68	** Adding onto this, [=PaRappa=], Sunny, Katy, and PJ may have had a falling out with Matt and Paula, which would explain why neither of them appear in any of the games. Not even ''VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale''.
69
70	[[WMG: [=PaRappa=] hallucinates in "Full Tank" because he left the cake sitting out.]]
71
72	* In the cutscene after level 4, he can be seen leaving the seafood cake out overnight in his room, causing the fish to spoil. This could explain why [=PaRappa=] hallucinates birds turning into flying toilets and runs around [[AcidRefluxNightmare in a psychedelic rainbow void full of his teacher's floating heads]] when he reaches cool mode.
