PaRappa's Suicide

Ch. 8 - PaRappa: Final Stage

The music in the loading and main menu screen was the same as when I began stage 5. Onto the last stage in PaRappa's story. Stage 6, also known as, No Cuttin' Corners. The title of this stage was, "Left Alone." The cutscene began, just pitch black. No sound, no music, nothing. At first, I thought it was a major glitch. But when I was about to turn the power off, the screen became white. It then cut to an abandoned house. I then saw somebody on the porch. There were PaRappa's friends. PJ, Katy Kat, Sunny Funny! They had a gloomy look upon their facss. They were all holding roses (except for PJ, who was holding a box of donuts). Sunny Funny looked and sounded the most depressed, "W-Why did PaRappa have to k-kill himself? What happened that made him s-so upset?" Sunny Funny started crying next to Katy, who comforted her. PJ dropped his donuts and started crying as well. PaRappa's voice then chimed in, "Those were my old friends, not anymore..." It then cut to the entrance of Club Fun. This time, though, there was a funeral held inside the building. This funeral was for PaRappa. Everyone in that building was crying. Stage 6 started, but the scenery never changed. Once again, there were no prompts at all. I just started mashing buttons at this point hoping that there was SOMETHING I could interact with. Nothing, everyone in that club just kept crying and crying. Then, I noticed something to the far right. There were the teachers, all sporting funeral-type clothing. Even the baby that Cathy Piller held had a black blankie around it. At this point, I too was tearing up. But I had to stay strong, I had to make it through the stage. There was a song playing, a rather sad melody. I guessed what it was, it was the Car Rap from the original game played in C minor. The stage ended after 2 minutes of crying.
