Fun fact: Even the main art director, Rodney Greenblat, was so put off by the main direction of the game he almost wanted to quit the project all together. Of course he didn’t leave the gaming industry until the production of the Parappa the Rapper Anime, which he says was the reason for him leaving and wanting to just do museum art and stuff like that, mainly because Sony was breathing so far down his neck about the direction and design of the show… Oh yeah, there’s also a 30 episode Parappa the Rapper anime that’s fully watchable on RU-vid in its entirety, complete with subtitles. Also fun fact: one of the devs were actually asked in an interview if they were taking some sort of substances, to which he responded, “No, we just didn’t get sleep for a while.”
