Rayman Raving Rabbids is a handheld version of the first Rayman Raving Rabbids game that was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2006. Unlike the console version of the game, it is a 2D platformer that is in the same vein as Rayman 3 on the Game Boy Advance, and it is notable for being the last game in the Rayman series to be released for this handheld. It is also the only Rabbids game for Game Boy Advance.

Plot

Rayman is having a nap when the Rabbids suddenly appear and take Rayman to a jail cell somewhere in the Dark world, taking away his hands. With the help of Murfy, he manages to get his hands back and escape the jail, but not before fighting Pink's new toy: a giant Antitoon-like machine. After defeating it, Ly comes and gives Rayman a Gangsta costume which he can use to stomp the ground. At the village, Ly tells Rayman how the Rabbids used to be sweet, innocent creatures who were so kind the other animals made fun of them. Eventually the Rabbids could not take this anymore and planned their revenge. Rayman travels through five different worlds, beating the Rabbids and collecting more costumes, and eventually faces the Rabbids' Mothership. Rayman stops the mothership and brings peace back to the valley.

Characters

  • Rayman: Rayman is back to save the Glade of Dreams yet again. In this adventure, he must make use of all-new powers and costumes in order to defeat the Rabbids.
  • Murfy: Murfy helps Rayman by telling him what to do in order to escape the Rabbids' dungeons. He is not as rude as he was in Rayman 3, but he is still very cheeky about some things.
  • Ly the Fairy: Ly is a magical fairy who gives Rayman new costumes with powers that will help him throughout his adventure.
  • Globox: Globox only makes a cameo in this game. At the first level in the jail cell, Rayman can free him from captivity by hitting a switch.
  • The Grand Minimus & the Teensies: The Teensies, like Globox, only make a cameo appearance. By hitting a switch, Rayman can free him from captivity.
  • The Rabbids: The Rabbids are the main enemies of the game. Long ago, they were kind and caring creatures, but the other animals made fun of them and they soon had enough. They have been planning their attack since Rayman 1, and now they have finally struck.

Costumes

After Rayman defeats a boss, he is awarded with a medal that represents a costume he may need to change into in later levels. However, Rayman cannot use his standard powers while wearing one of these.

  • Gangsta: Acquired after beating the Antitoon Robot. This costumes allowed Rayman to stomp on things.
  • Punk: Allows Rayman to cover objects and defeat enemies with chewing gum.
  • Grandmother: Drops a carrot on the ground to distract enemies.
  • Rocker: Unleashed a powerful close-up attack with his guitar.
  • Funky: Has a more powerful fist attack than Rayman's Super fist.

Trivia

  • At the beginning of the game, Rayman loses his hands similarly to Rayman 3.
  • The name of the dream forest in this game is very similar to that of the Dream Forest in the original game, but the two should not be confused.
  • As the game is a later title in the Game Boy Advance library, it is the first game in the Rayman series for the handheld console to carry an in-game health and safety warning at the beginning of the game, after the language selection screen.
