'''''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''''' is a spin-off isometric platform game based on ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' that was released exclusively for the Game Boy Advance in 2005. It is the first and only game (as of ~~2009~~) in the ''Rayman'' series to be played from an isometric viewpoint in what appears to be a 2D environment, while using 3D sprites.

==Plot==

Taking place supposedly a short while after the events in ''Rayman 3'', [[Globox]]'s body is once again invaded by [[André]] the [[Black Lum]] while [[Rayman]] is asleep, and now they have to search for each other. Meanwhile, the [[Hoodlum]]s have been ordered to clone the body of [[Reflux]] and once again attempt to take over the ~~Crossroads~~ of Dreams.

Meanwhile, the [[Hoodlum]]s have been ordered to clone the body of [[Reflux]] and once again attempt to take over [[the Glade of Dreams]].

The following text is a transcription from the game's manual:

''When [[Globox]], [[Rayman]]'s devoted partner, mysteriously vanishes, [[Rayman]] will search from the top of [[Clearleaf forest]] to the bottom of the [[Heart of the World]] to rescue his friend from whatever evil has swept him away.

So roll up your sleeves and join [[Rayman]] in a harrowing quest throughout many lands in search of his missing compadre. Join [[Globox]] as he frantically seeks escape from the dark nightmares and sinister voices that haunt and confuse him. Join [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] as, together, they endeavor to prevent the [[Dark Lum]] [[Andre]] from overpowering them both in time to complete his most diabolical scheme yet!

The quest begins as [[Rayman]] heads to the [[Fairy Council]], seeking wise-fly [[Murphy]], whose advice he needs if he is to complete his most dangerous expedition!''

==Gameplay==

''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge's'' gameplay uses some elements from ''Rayman 3'', including the score counter and the Combo-mode, [[Teensie]] [[cage]]s and [[Laser Washing Powder]] cans. The difference is that [[Lum]]s, namely [[Yellow Lum|Yellow]], [[Red Lum|Red]], [[Green Lum|Green]] and [[Blue Lum]]s, are collected as well as ~~gems~~. In each level, there is a certain number of ~~cages and~~ Yellow Lums to collect and ~~they~~ are counted down; the more the player collects and the higher he or she scores, the more likely he or she is to gain up to three Murfy ~~Stamps~~, which are needed to unlock bonus levels.

''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge's'' gameplay uses some elements from ''Rayman 3'', including the score counter and the Combo-mode, [[Teensie]] [[cage]]s and [[Laser-Washing Powder]] cans. [[Hoodlums]] and other enemies from ''Rayman 3'' are also encountered. The difference is that [[Lum]]s, namely [[Yellow Lum|Yellow]], [[Red Lum|Red]], [[Green Lum|Green]] and [[Blue Lum]]s, are collected as well as [[gem]]s. In each level, there is a certain number of Yellow Lums to collect, and typically there are four cages to break, both of which are counted down; the more the player collects and the higher he or she scores, the more likely he or she is to gain up to three [[Murfy Stamp]]s, which are needed to unlock bonus levels.

In a few levels, [[Globox]] is a playable character, though he cannot fight the same way as Rayman, or go near the Hoodlums (because he is afraid of them, he will automatically run a short distance away from), unless he drinks a keg of [[plum juice]], which will send him in a trance and have the confidence to attack enemies. Sometimes Rayman and Globox can be played in the same level, though the player will have to switch characters for the right tasks, and the level cannot be exited unless both characters meet each other at the exit.

The game is also the only known platforming game which displays a full map of the level Rayman is currently exploring, that pinpoints his current position and the exit, as well as the locations of the Teensie cages.

==Trivia==

* On the American ~~boxart~~ of the game, there is a ~~typo in which~~ the apostrophe is placed between the word ~~"Hoodlum"~~ and the letter S, making the subtitle seem as if there is only one Hoodlum rather than a group of them.

* On the North American box art of the game, there is a typographical error whereby the apostrophe is placed between the word ‘Hoodlum’ and the letter ‘s’, making the subtitle seem as if there is only one [[Hoodlum]] rather than a group of them.

* Although this is not a Game Boy Advance version of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' (but rather, a direct sequel), it does mark many ''Rayman 3'' characters' first and only appearance on handheld, many of which were absent from [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the actual Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. These characters include [[Reflux]], [[Romeo]] (referred to as Doc), and [[Begoniax]] (though there was a level in the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'' called [[Swamps of Begoniax]] but the character never actually appeared). It is possibly [[André]]'s first appearance in a handheld game, although the [[Black Lum]] swallowed by [[Globox]] in ''Rayman 3'' may be him, simply unnamed and with a smaller role. André does not strictly appear in this game, as he merely possesses Globox.

* There is a curious inconsistency in Romeo's appearance in this game. He gives his name as "Doc" not Romeo, and Rayman does not appear to recognise him, despite meeting him in Rayman 3.

*On the first level, Rayman tells Murphy that he has been able to use his helicopter power all his life. However, he did not have that ability at the start of the first game.
