B.Rap Boys is an arcade-only beat 'em up developed and published by Kaneko in 1992. It's a direct sequel to DJ Boy. It had an update called B.Rap Boys Special with some differences. It never received home ports unlike the first game.

Gameplay

The gameplay is heavily improved from DJ Boy, such as: the rollerskating physics being much smoother, the combat mechanics being both fast-paced and more responsive, and the soundtrack fits perfectly with the game's atmosphere. There's a total of three stages, each with two to three sections each. Weapons are useful when it comes to long range. Extends are set at 2000 to every 3000, though this can be changed in the EEPROM.

Characters

Top (トップ, Toppu)

Pea (ペア, Pea)

Pan (パン, Pan)

Differences in Special

The title screen and coin inserted are changed

There's less enemies in the first section and the truck will only drop the instruments once.

Logs are added

New enemies such as a kung-fu man, a sumo wrestler, and a kabuki warrior.

A Japanese car appears before when you see the boss jumping over a fence.

Trivia

This game along with Konami's beat em up Violent Storm, has lyrics. Two tracks from an obscure hip hop collective known as "3 Stories High" are featured in this game. Loops from tracks "Famous Last Words" and "Average Day" from their "Famous Last Words" EP are featured.

B.Rap Boys is known by people that it's an improvement to DJ Boy over having no longer offensive stereotypes of black people, as well as also featuring improved and balanced gameplay mechanics.

Some of the logos have unused rotation sprites.
