PaRappa The Rapper Walkthrough Part 1: Chop Chop Master Onion (INTRO)
2Welcome back to the channel, dear gamers. While i'm aware that i terminated my Haunting Ground walkthrough and haven't recorded anything in over a month, reasons for that are sadly, beyond my control as, while i'm fine and my recording equipment is functioning, internet issues are becoming ubrearable. Until they are fully resolved, likely sometime next year, this channel's activity will be greatly reduced. However, as soon as it's possible, i will return to regular upload schedule. In order to keep the channel active, and give you a parting gift for 2024, i've decided to go for a short but fun cult classic i originally planned to record back in September 2021, but since i couldn't play the game properly, the plan fell through–until now. The game in question is PaRappa The Rapper, which will also mark the final walkthrough of 2024 on the channel so sit back, relax and enjoy the gameplay.

One day, as PaRappa, Sunny and their friends PJ Berri and Katy Kat go out for a meal at the local burger joint, they end up accosted by a pair of local bullies, one of whom takes an interest in Sunny. However, just then, Joe Chin exits the bathroom and proceeds to literally talk the bullies to death with his long-winded introduction.
