'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids''''', known in Japan as '''''Rabbids Party''''', is the first video game in [[Rabbids (series)|the Rabbids spin-off series]]. It was released for the Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 2 and PC in 2006, followed by a port for the Microsoft Xbox 360 in 2007. It is followed by ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'' in 2007, ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party]]'' in 2008, ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'' in 2009 and ''[[Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time]]'' in 2010.

==Plot==
[[Rayman]] and a few [[baby Globox]]es are enjoying a picnic in a forest when three [[Rabbid]]s erupt from the ground, capturing the [[baby Globox]]es. [[Rayman]] tries to offer them food, but then [[Serguei]] comes and grabs [[Rayman]]. The [[Rabbid]]s take [[Rayman]] and the [[baby Globox]]es to their Colosseum and hold them in jail cells.

In order to escape, [[Rayman]] must collect [[plunger]]s to build a ladder up to the window so he can jump out. He does this by taking part in trials to entertain the [[Rabbid]]s. After completing at least 3 of the four daily trials, the final challenge will unlock. Finishing that will reward [[Rayman]] with a [[plunger]] after which he is taken back to his jail cell to get some rest for the next day's lot of trials. As the days pass, [[Rayman]]'s cell is decorated to look nicer. In the cell he is able to play music, change [[Skin|costumes]] and replay previous challenges. If all four challenges are finished in one day he is rewarded with more [[Skin|costumes]] and songs. After every day, he goes to the ladder of [[plunger]]s, looking at the window hoping to escape, but a [[bird]] always comes and poops on him. After fifteen days, [[Rayman]] finally collects enough [[plunger]]s and escapes, getting his revenge on the annoying [[bird]] on the way. Back at the forest, [[Rayman]] sees sheep eating the remains of the picnic and remembers he forgot the [[baby Globox]]es. He tries to go back through a hole in which they were captured through but ends up stuck.

==Characters==
[[Rayman]] and the [[Rabbid]]s are the main characters in the game. Also included are the [[baby Globox]]es, the only returning characters besides [[Rayman]], the [[Rabbid]]s henchmen, strange creatures that look like a cross between rhinos and elephants and some animals, who only serve as fillers.

===The good guys===
*[[Rayman]] - The hero of the [[Glade of Dreams]] that must complete minigames while being in captive of the [[Rabbid]]s.
*[[Baby Globox]]es - The [[baby Globox]]es, children of [[Globox]], were captured by the [[Rabbid]]s along with [[Rayman]] while on a picnic.

===The [[Rabbid]]s===
*[[Serguei]] - [[Serguei]] is the largest known [[Rabbid]]. He guards [[Rayman]]'s cell and takes him to the [[Rabbid]]s' Colosseum throughout the days.

*[[Professor Barranco]] - [[Professor Barranco]] is a scientist that has apparently suffered through many injuries, mostly to his face and head. He appears in several of the minigames [[Rayman]] participates in.

*[[Frog-Rabbids]] - The [[Frog-Rabbids]] appear in the minigames [[Bunnies Are Addicted To Carrot Juice]] and [[Bunnies Don't Like Being Disturbed On Holiday]].

*[[Clark (Rabbid)|Clark]] - Clark is a regular [[Rabbid]] that's dressed up to make himself look like Superman. Like [[Professor Barranco]], he appears in several of the minigames [[Rayman]] participates in.

===References===
* [[Clark (Rabbid)|Clark the Super Rabbid]] is a reference to Superman.
* [[Rayman]]'s gun that shoots [[plunger]]s may be a reference to the game ''Quackshot'', where the protagonist also has a gun that shoots [[plunger]]s.
* [[Rayman]]'s costumes reference Elvis Presley.
* The [[rabbid]]s who act as spies are a reference to ''Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell''.
* Most of the songs in the jukebox and the Shake Your Booty! minigames are “[[Rabbid]]ized” remixes of licensed music.
* The level [[Bunnies Think They're In A Movie]] parodies 1930s Hollywood. In the same level there is a portrait that parodies Abraham Lincoln as a [[rabbid]].
* In a bonus movie, there is a concept art of a [[rabbid]] that resembles Stitch from ''Lilo and Stitch''.
* In Rayman´s jail cell, there is a painting called "ceci n´est pas une carotte", which is a parody of the famous painting "Ceci n´est pas une pipe" (this is not a pipe - it is an *image* of a pipe)

==Gameplay==
[[File:RabbidColosseum.jpg|thumb|320px|right|[[Rayman]] in the Colosseum.]]
Each day [[Rayman]] has to move around the stadium and complete at least three out of the four minigames for that day, which always contains a dancing type game. Each day there are new minigames to play. Once three of the four games are completed, [[Rayman]] can go and complete the last challenge. The challenge is either a [[plunger]] shooting game or a [[warthog]] racing game. Once the challenge is completed, [[Rayman]] earns a [[plunger]] and goes back to his cell. He uses the [[plunger]] to build a ladder and escape out the window of his cell.

==Minigames==
In total, there are 75 minigames, including second and third parts. A total of five of these are to be played each day [[Rayman]] is prisoner at the Colosseum, though at least three out of four must be passed before moving onto the boss challenge which is usually a [[warthog]] race or a bunny hunt. In score mode, each minigame is worth up to 1,000 points, and score mode total is 183000 points. These points can be used to unlock secret goodies in the bonus menu.

In the 75 minigames of the game, the player can reach 75000 points. The player can also unlock challenges, which consists of triathlons, pentathlons and decathlons. triathlons contain 3 minigames, worth 3000 points, pentathlons contain 5 minigames worth 5000 points and decathlons contain 10 minigames worth 10000 points. In order to gain max score, the player must perfectly complete every minigame in the series, one after another, however there is no chance of replaying an already completed minigame. The other 108000 points are obtained here in the challenges and though co-op and versus multiplayer bunny hunts. There are several challenges where it isn't possible to collect maximum score while another player is in game.

===Bunny hunts===
The bunny hunts are first person shooter style game in which [[Rayman]], armed with a [[plunger]] gun, has to shoot any [[Rabbid]]s that he sees and free the [[baby Globox]] they have trapped, without losing all of his health, which can be depleted if either a [[Rabbid]] gets too close to him, he gets shot with a [[plunger]], or is attacked by rockets or carrot juice coming from the robots. The [[plunger]] gun can carry up to five [[plunger]]s, and if they are all used, he will have to reload. [[Rayman]] is also armed with a grapple chain, which he can use to either ward off [[plunger]] attacks or grab a [[Rabbid]] that is close and toss it at other [[Rabbid]]s, earning a multiple score.

[[Rayman]] can get extra points by doing specific shots:
* Good shot - shooting the third [[Rabbid]] without reloading - 300 points.
* Great shot - shooting the fourth [[Rabbid]] without reloading - 400 points.
* Perfect shot - shooting the fifth [[Rabbid]] without reloading - 500 points.
* Bullseye - shooting a [[Rabbid]] which is far away.

Several other objects can be shot with [[plunger]]s, such as radios and bells, which often distract the [[Rabbid]]s into dancing, and are present in each level once. There are also several boxes which [[Rayman]] can break in order to gain power ups or power downs. These are:

* Extra lives - as the name says, it gives [[Rayman]] 3 extra lives.
* Rapid shot - it gives [[Rayman]] the ability to shoot 3 [[plunger]]s rapidly after each other for a short time. It also automatically reloads when the 3 [[plunger]]s have been shot, except if the player instantly shoots another [[plunger]].
* 5X shot - it gives [[Rayman]] the ability to shoot all [[plunger]]s at once for a short time. Needs instant reload after the [[plunger]]s have been shot.
* 1000 Points - gives the player 1000 points.
* Broken Plungers - This power down breaks all [[plunger]]s for a short time.

==Game records==
''Main article: [https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/List_of_Rayman_records#Rayman_Raving_Rabbids List of Rayman records]

''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' has a score mode, with minigames which unlock as they are completed in the story mode.

==Internet connection==
At the end of each minigame in score mode, there is an internet code for the player to submit their game score on the now defunct [[RaymanZone]] website. Each code was unique to tell which score is the player's on the website listed above. Each minigame page listed the top 3 players in each minigame. Since the release of ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', [[RaymanZone]] redirects to the official [[Ubisoft]] website.

==Development==
{{Main|Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)}}

After the cancellation of [[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|the original ''Rayman 4'']], [[Ubisoft]] began work on ''Rayman Raving Rabbids''. It was intended to be [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|a free-roaming 3D platformer]], contrary to the final party game release. [[Rayman]] would have instead had to defeat an army of sinister, zombie-like [[Rabbid]]s in melee combat, rather than competing in minigames to escape them.

The following is photos that were released during [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|the early development of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']].
