PaRappa the Rapper (series)

PaRappa the Rapper is a video game first released in 1996 and is considered to be the first of the rhythm game genre. It was created by music producer Masaya Matsuura and artist Rodney Greenblat.

He accomplishes his tasks by believing in himself and rapping with different mentors.
