|gameinfo          = The original rap star is back in the house! See if you have enough rhythm to keep the beat with everyone's favorite rappin' puppy. Join Parappa and a cast of new and familiar characters on a mission of the utmost importance: prevent the Evil Noodle Syndicate from turning everything into noodles. Check out the funky fresh tunes that are guaranteed to get your toes tappin' and your head bobbin'.<br />
This time, Parappa won a 100 year supply of noodle products. He liked it at first but later got sick of it. His love, Sunny Funny, friendly mocked him by calling him a baby for refusing to eat noodles and he started to question his maturity. But he then noticed something: everything in his town is turning into noodles! Including food! It's now his job to be a grown up and save the day.<br />

|Description=On hardware mode, objects sometimes get in the way of lyrics. This is a problem on three out of eight levels.
|Description=Objects sometimes get in the way of lyrics.
|Workaround=It is not a problem on software mode, which can be easily run by any modern CPU. Software mode also produces another graphic error on the top left corner of the screen. However, this does not get in front of lyrics and is very minor.  
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and make sure Hardware Depth/Depth Emulation is enabled, or set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. A different issue will appear in the top left corner of the screen. However, this is a very minor issue that does not get in front of the lyrics.

|IssueName=Black box at the top left of the screen

|IssueLevel=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=The "rappin' bad" effect is missing on both hardware and software mode and the same effect is also missing from the intro movie sequence.
|Description=A black box appears at the top left of the screen in both HW and SW modes
|Workaround=On PCSX2 version 0.9.7 and below, aggressive EE cyclerate hacks (50%) must be enabled to get through the intro menu sequence. On these versions, although, any level past level 1 is not playable due to freezes on scenechanges ("Cool" mode not confirmed because while in "Cool", the level only remains in one scene).
|Workaround=This issue is fixed in 1.7.0 by disabling MTVU. For older builds, the "Disable Depth Emulation" HW hack can be used but will cause additional graphical issues.
