Headscratchers / PaRappa the Rapper

Go To

  • Since the flower is the reproductive part of a plant, what does that say about Sunny Funny's face?
    • Whatever is says, it probably couldn't be as bad as what that says about her crotch.
      • Probably nothing. I prefer to think she has anthro anatomy, but the visual flower (without the reproductive aspect) is still her head so it doesn't look weird.
  • Why would Lammy go to Hell when she dies? She seemed like a nice girl.
    • Maybe it's because she caused a bunch of cars to crash, possibly killing the people inside, just before her death?
    • Maybe just because she's a rock star?
    • In the cutscene before the stage begins, Jack Smash is frantically looking around for a guitarist that the band was expecting, and mistakes Lammy for them. Then in the cutscene after this stage, Rammy shows up seemingly aware that she's late for something, then chews out Lammy for "taking her job". These both heavily imply that Lammy's spirit ending up in hell was completely by accident, and that Rammy was supposed to be transported there instead. Exactly HOW it got mixed up is anyone's guess.
  • What's with the arrows pointing at Ma-San's ears when she yawns?
    • I think that's to direct your attention to her during the song.
    • The lyrics at that point in the song consist of Guru Ant incorrectly blaming Parappa for the situation they've ended up in. The viewer knows it's actually Ma-San to blame, so the arrows are likely just a comical way of pointing out that he's wrong.
  • Why does PaRappa have a picture of a frog on his beanie? Seriously, I always wondered about that even as a kid.
    • There may not necessarily be a reason. It could be as simple as him not caring what was on the beanie when he bought it, to just thinking the frog looked cool.
    • It could be an in-universe brand logo.
    • Maybe the frog is a celebrity universe, and someone Parappa is a fan of.
  • In the initial cutscene before the title screen, after Katy remarks that Jet Baby could probably beat Superman in a fight, why does PaRappa react with "Shut up!"? It doesn't make sense if he means it as a slang term to express shocked disbelief because he already admires Jet Baby as his "hero". And it doesn't make sense if he means it to tell Katy to be quiet because she didn't say anything he'd have a problem with.
