Here is my strategy guide to help you get a good time.

1. Hold L1 and L2: L1 and L2 skips the cutscene and the boxy boy practice so the stage loads faster.

2. Press Triangle to not save, then spam the Cross button to quickly start the next stage: This is kinda helpful to know because obviously its faster if you dont save and PaRappa automatically moves to the next stage after you're done.

3. DONT GET "BAD" IF YOU WANT A GOOD TIME: Getting "Bad" can waste a lot of time, at least 10 seconds in your run because the devs thought it was a good idea to tell you that you're bad.

Heres some things you need to look out on your run.

Stages 2, 4, and 6 have the bonus mode, so after you finish those stages, spam the start button to skip it.
