>Why don't other rhythm games do that.. (;´Д`)
that does remind me of how Beatmania used to have FREE SCRATCH zones in songs where you could mess around
they got rid of that terribly quickly since the optimal thing was to just scratch exactly once so you got the points from it, but I liked the idea

at some point early on, the series stopped punishing you for hitting notes not on teh chart, letting you freestyle a bit
beatmania is keysounded, so every notepress plays a sample in the song (pop'n is mechanically identical to beatmania and lets you do the same thing)
it is very fun trying to add my own stuff to songs when I play, even if I do still need to dodge the "duplicate note POOR" system that's supposed to prevent mashing but gets in the way of being cool

it is neat how parappa has it as a deep-rooted game design mechanic rather than something that the game begrudgingly lets you do like beatmania and pop'n
