Rap Birdz



Rap Birdz is a rhythm game created by ButterBlaziken230. It is heavily based off of Parappa the Rapper and stars Eccentria.

Plot
Eccentria was carrying eggs across a road one day. However, she accidentally drops the eggs. They roll away from her, so she tries to chase them. However, they are picked up by some bandit pigs, so Eccentria gets mad and tries to chase back and get her eggs. Eventually, she loses them and realises she needs to get faster. So, she decides to go to the gym where she trains to be faster. When she gets there, she is greeted by Avocado Bird, who owns the gym. He puts robot limbs on her that she can use to stretch. Halfway through, he makes you wear a VR headset to teach you to dodge obstacles.

After leaving the gym, she sees the pigs again. However, they have built a castle, where they intend to eat the eggs. The castle has been built with the help of King Pig. Eccentria runs away in anger, but finds a lumberjack Piggy. She asks him if she can teach him to build a slingshot, which he allows. After rapping to help herself with the construction of a slingshot, she takes it to the castle. This is where Stage 3 occurs.

Stage 3 involves the player making combos in order to deal damage towards the castle. The better the combo, the more powerful the attack. The amount of damage can be seen alongside the slingshot, changing with every button press. The castle can fire back with rhythm, lowering your confidence and damage the next turn. Eventually, after about approximately 15 turns from the player, the castle gets destroyed. However, the bandit pigs still get the eggs! They grab ahold of them and it accidentally rolls into a cake shop.

The cake shop is a mechanical mess. It features several conveyors and robotic processes to create a cake. These vary from adding icing to baking a cake. The egg rolls onto the conveyor, which initiates Stage 4. Garretto, the baker and owner of the establishment, thinks that you want to bake a cake, so he teaches you how to do a bit. Then, to his surprise, you hop on the conveyor. Suddenly, the stage changes into a real-life version of the Virtual Reality segment from Stage 1. You must rap to dodge robot hands. Eventually, you grab the egg and do some more rapping with Garretto.

After leaving the cake shop, the bandit pigs appear again. However, they snatch the egg and they take it into a high-tech castle. Question Box Bird notices the issue and decides to help out. He says that he can teach Eccentria how to disable the alarm system and make it through the castle, but they would have to rap about it. This initiates the fifth stage in the game. It is the longest stage because you have to rap your way through 4 floors, all having a different rhythm, with each floor getting more difficult. Eventually, you get ready to take back the eggs in Stage 6.

On stage 6, you have a rap battle against King Pig. Unlike Stage 3, where you had to rap the castle down, you’re actually rapping against King Pig. In Stage 3, he would mostly take your attacks and then attack you. Stage 6 is like the rap battle in Parappa The Rapper 2 - the opponent raps, and you rap the same line but with alterations. Eventually, King Pig becomes upset, and runs off. You grasp the eggs and begin to walk out the castle as the credits start to roll, but suddenly it is revealed to be a fake ending. Corporal Pig appears and unveils his secret rap career as Lil’ Oinker. He raps the fastest in the game and is difficult to defeat. If you lose against him, it’s back to rap battling King Pig.

Eventually, Lil’ Oinker gives up, leaving you to get the eggs and leave the castle. That finishes the game.
