Rayman 3 - Unlocking the Final Secret

[spiraldoor]

As many of you already know, the Gamecube version of Rayman 3 features three extra exclusive minigames. One's called Mad Trax. One's called Wheelis. These are multiplayer minigames which involve connecting a GC to a GBA.

However, there is one final secret minigame which has not been unlocked yet, by anyone here. It is a 2D level in the same style as 2D Madness, and it is set in Picture City from Rayman 1. The trouble is, nobody actually knows how to unlock it. Connecting a GBA containing a 100% completed R3 GBA game to a 100% completed was thought to unlock it, but that didn't work. But this minigame has been proven to exist, both by the fact that there's still a "??????????" in the R3 GC minigame menu, and the fact that a screenshot of this minigame was posted on RaymanZone a couple of years ago (but was obviously deleted...)

It may be called "2D Madness 2" or "2D Nightmare", but for the moment that's all we have to go on.

What I want YOU to do is follow this link and request an Action Replay code to unlock all minigames in the GCN version of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. If enough people request this, then there is in fact a decent chance that it will happen.

Don't have a Gamecube? No problem, you can still see the screenshots and inevitable YouTube videos of the level that we can make with the code, or perhaps play it on a Gamecube emulator if you have a powerful computer.

We know EVERYTHING about Rayman 1, Rayman 2, Rayman Revolution, Rayman M, Rayman Junior and, as I sit here typing this we are currently unlocking the final secrets of Rayman Arena. We know virtually everything about pretty much every other Rayman game on the planet. But not this. This is the Final Secret of Rayman, and we shall unlock it.

Click here. You will be asked your Name, Email (well...neither of those have to be genuine xD), as well as the Title and Platform of the game you want a code for. You'll also be asked what code you want.

For example:

Name: John Smith
Email address: [email protected]
Platform: NGC
Game I want codes for: Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc
Code I want: The code to unlock all minigames.

...or something along the lines of that.

Come on everyone, get requesting! You don't have to be a member or anything, and it takes less than a minute.

Let the quest begin!

I will try to...

EDIT: did it

[Acarr]

I have a gamecube, But I don't have R3 for it. Or a plug to connect my GBA to...

If the other minigames are solely reliant on total score then this extra one must be too. So all you need to do is contact one of the Rayman 3 gurus who play on Gamecube, namely Block, Nikkoss, fzeroman or Tiger_5. (I won't mention these people come very rarely)

[Hunchman801]

I have just sent the code request
By the way, I could contact fzeroman/christiaens about it, I know he's still alive I could also try to email the others, but I'm not sure they will receive my messages

No, it seems that 2D Madness 1 is NOT reliant on the total score. You just have to connect R3 for GBA to the Gamecube, and it should unlock. So I don't think 2D Madness 2 will unlock just by having a fantastic score ( I could try though, as it seems that there are some codes for R3, including one to have a "monster score" ).

Oh, I also sent my request. ^^

You should try contacting the developers by email to ask them about it, unless Ubisoft that ignorant now that they ignore Rayman fans completely?

[stan423321]

Well, who knows. Main part of UbiSoft however ignores us indeed.

My request was probably one of first ones.

I believe syntheticgerbil already asked them, but they said they didn't answer "gameplay-related" questions or something.

[Acarr]

I requested, and gave myself a cool name. But it was GCN right?

[spiraldoor]

It was indeed. Sometimes "Nintendo Gamecube" is abbreviated to "GCN", instead of "NGC". I don't know why, though.

[Acarr]

Wait, you could ask 118 118 for the answer!

[spiraldoor]

Hmm...no.

[syntheticgerbil]

Yep, I asked Ubisoft multiple times through various contacts on their website, but they tell me to go to IGN. I guess it's a nice way of saying they don't know, and they don't care.

If I could find a website or e-mail for one of the designers/programmers that would help, but I don't think any of them have personal webpages from the looking I have done.

Also the GC version of Rayman has add-ons done by Ubisoft Shanghai, which may make it more difficult. Ubisoft Shanghai could be the ones that made 2d Nightmare/2d Madness 2, but there's no way to confirm it. I do know they are responsible for making Mad Trax and Wheelis, which are also GC exclusives.

Hey, weren't Ubisoft Shanghai the ones who ported Rayman 2 to the PS1? If so, then they're the ones who have the 2D Rayman 2 beta.

2D Madness 2...2D Rayman 2...have I uncovered a conspiracy...?

Even if so, there are another people at the moment.

[spiraldoor]

I was about to make this post:

Yeah, but they probably still have that 2D R2 beta lying around somewhere. That's another topic, though.

But then I saw timoo's post. Lol.

[stan423321]

At the moment when R3 was developed and at the moment when RArena was made. Got it? It was more explainable in Polish.

[spiraldoor]

That's off topic. Come on, let's talk about 2D Madness 2! I wonder what enemies it will feature, since 2D Madness 1 has Moskitos.
