Rayman Raving Rabbids sees Rayman's world subject to a mass coup d'etat by a horde of crazed-looking bunnies (the titular Rabbids) who enslave every fauna imaginable, including jailing the limbless wonder himself. Completely powerless with only a couple of plungers and persistence, it's up to Rayman to escape this warped world and save his friends.

Sound promising? Well, it gets complicated.

Completely different than the ones that preceded it, Raving Rabbids is a game of minigames... but deep behind its party game facade was once an ambitious yet unfinished action-adventure game - Rayman 4. Raving Rabbids is the cobbled-together remains of that title, and there are a ton of leftovers from its long, storied development.

The end result launched a Rabbids franchise, putting Rayman out of Ubisoft's focus for half a decade until Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends.

To do: Quite literally everything since the Rayman 4 discoveries.

Development Info

Leftovers from Rayman 4 You wouldn't believe just how much remains in this game.

Inaccessible Minigames

Please elaborate. Having more detail is always a good thing. Specifically: How can one cheat to gain this minigame?

The game's final challenge, "World Eclecticism Championship" requires 174,000 out of 183,000 points to unlock. However, the challenge gives a total of 10,000 points, meaning that you will always be at least 1,000 points short of being able to unlock it without cheats.

Even if this was not the case, there are multiple minigames where getting the max score is impossible. These minigames are Bunnies Are Fantastic Dancers Part 3, Bunninos Dansa La Bamba Parts 1 and 2 (each game is short a few Rabbids, the max scores are 993, 995, and 988 points respectively), The Pants-tathlon Tracksuit (this challenge has La Bamba Part 2 and is also not possible), Bunnies Have A Poor Grasp of Anatomy (this minigame requires more precision than is possible, the highest score possible is most likely in the 990s), Bunnies Are Heartless With Pigs (on the PC version only, Rayman does not move fast enough to meet the time requirement. The highest recorded score on this version is 925 points), and Bunnies Don't Like Being Disturbed On Holiday (on the PC version only in Coop Timed mode, the time requirement is just 2'35"00, presumably on accident. This is simply not possible, the highest recorded score on this version is 863 points).

This minigame is somewhat simple, it's either a quick duel minigame or a "shoot all the targets" minigame. This minigame might have inspired a similar minigame in its sequel (Rayman Raving Rabbids 2)'s O.K Corral minigame. What is also noteworthy is that the Raymans are holding Wii Remotes in every version and the Wii Remote model alone is unused.

Unused Skin

A "Burnt Rayman" skin was supposed to be one of the unlockable costumes, but was scrapped for unknown reasons. Its unlock text is still present in the game's files. There also is a debug skin without Rayman that was used to make the model creation process easier.
