  • Cross-Dressing Voices: Ryu Watabe as Ma-san.
  • Development Hell: This was the reason why there wasn't a PaRappa The Rapper 3.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Is it just us, or does Lammy sound like a younger version of Dr. Callie Torres?
  • The Other Darrin: Sunny, Katy Kat and MC King Kong Mushi in PaRappa 2.

Parappa-only examples

  • Urban Legend of Zelda: Rumors suggested that one could play as Sunny Funny or as the Onion Ninja in the original Parappa.

Um Jammer Lammy-only examples

  • No Export for You: Narrowly averted with the spin-off album Make it Sweet! Let The Other Wiki explain:
    • "In the United States, the album was not released due to the commercial failure yet critical success of Um Jammer Lammy. Due to that, the album was put for download on the Internet for free, although not on iTunes or Rhapsody."

Anime-only examples
