Overview
- PaRappa the Rapper (1996) available on PlayStation and later rereleased on PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 4.
- Um Jammer Lammy (1999) available only on original PlayStation was a spin-off with different characters, multiplayer modes and focused more on guitar rhythm but still had similar play-style to the original.
- PaRappa the Rapper 2 (2001) on PlayStation 2 and later rereleased on PlayStation 4, extended the story and gameplay difficulty that adjusted to the ability of the player. It also added a two-player Vs. Mode, in which players are given a line to rap to, which they must improve upon by freestyling better than their opponent.
