'''''Rayman in the Phantom Show''''' is the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', featuring [[Rayman]]. It was released on August 30, 2023.

In this adventure, [[Rayman]] teams up with [[Rabbid Peach]] and [[Rabbid Mario]]. The [[Phantom]], an enemy previously featured in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', now works as a studio director for the [[Space Opera Network]], and needs their help as the studio's TV ratings hit a new low.

[[David Gasman]] reprises his role as the voice actor for [[Rayman]], while the soundtrack is composed by [[Christophe Héral]], also the composer of the ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' soundtracks, and Grant Kirkhope.

==Announcement==
On September 10, 2022, it was announced at Ubisoft Forward 2022 that [[Rayman]] will feature in a DLC for ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', the last of a series of three. A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi_tQtV3xwU teaser] was published for the occasion, showing [[Rayman]]'s hair in the middle of a row of [[Rabbid]] ears.

On June 12, 2023, a subsequent [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFoLPAUaL5Q teaser] was revealed at Ubisoft Forward 2023. In the video, [[Rayman]] comes across [[Rabbid Mario]], [[Rabbid Peach]] and [[Beep-0]] at a reception, where they seem to be in the process of checking in. [[Rabbid Peach]] aims her [[Triple-Troll]] weapon at [[Rayman]] while [[Rabbid Mario]] greets him with a handshake, but the latter falls unconscious when [[Rayman]]'s hand is pulled from his body. [[Rabbid Peach]] then thoroughly observes [[Rayman]]'s absence of arms and legs, leading him to push her aside.

On August 1, 2023, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=984p6DKp0to a new trailer] was published, revealing the title of the DLC to be ''Rayman in the Phantom Show'' and its release date as August 30, 2023.

A final [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVG35KDbw14 launch trailer] was also released on August 30 2023, with the [[Phantom]] talking about the DLC and the [[Space Opera Network]].

==Plot==
[[File:Golden Ticket to Fame - Arrival.jpg|thumb|320px|[[Rayman]] arriving at the [[Space Opera Network]]]]

The game begins with [[Rayman]], having travelled using a [[shell]], arriving at the [[Space Opera Network]], holding a golden ticket decorated with phonograph horns. He soon encounters a [[Rabbid]] wearing a cloak and a skull mask called a [[Stooge]], and then exclaims that he knew that the invitation was fishy, and that a [[Rabbid]] was behind it. Upon defeating it and other enemies, he exits the [[Space Opera Network#Repository|Repository]] and enters the [[Space Opera Network#Network Reception|Network Reception]].

There, he comes across [[Rabbid Mario]], [[Rabbid Peach]] and [[Beep-0]] at the reception, where they seem to be in the process of checking in. [[Rabbid Peach]] aims her [[Triple-Troll]] weapon at [[Rayman]] while [[Rabbid Mario]] greets him with a handshake, but the latter falls unconscious when [[Rayman]]'s hand is pulled from his body. [[Rabbid Peach]] then thoroughly observes [[Rayman]]'s absence of arms and legs, leading him to push her aside. [[Beep-0]] then intervenes, assuring [[Rayman]], whom he calls "Mr. Eggplant", that they are not "run-off-the-mill [[Rabbid]]s", but heroes. Before they can discuss the situation further, they are ambushed by [[Goomba]]s and [[Stooge]]s, and join forces against them.

Upon defeating the enemies, [[Rayman]] and the [[Rabbid]]s introduce themselves to each other and find out that they have all received the same invitation. They praise each other's fighting abilities and decide to team up for the time being. Immediately afterwards, an elevator comes down into the room, and the [[Phantom]] comes out of it and towards them. [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]], recognizing the enemy they previously fought in the Spooky Trails area of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', are held back by [[Rayman]] as they try to attack him, and the [[Phantom]] reveals a bouquet of flowers, appeasing the [[Rabbid]]s. He goes on to explain that he is now a changed person, no longer corrupted by the Megabug, and that he needs their help to restore the studio's ratings as his actors have left him. The [[Rabbid]]s are instantly convinced by the [[Phantom]]'s promises of fame and glory, and while [[Beep-0]] is initially reluctant, he is eventually won over by flattery. The heroes are then tasked with performing in three different locations, the [[Space Opera Network#Western Set|Western Set]], the [[Space Opera Network#Medieval Set|Medieval Set]] and the [[Space Opera Network#Pirate Set|Pirate Set]].

It quickly turns out, however, that all three sets are overrun with creatures of [[Darkmess]]. In the [[Space Opera Network#Western Set|Western Set]], where the [[Phantom]] is shooting a movie titled ''The Ballad of Plungerhands McMurdy'', the heroes are tasked with punching wood cutouts of bandits, after which they must defeat their leader, a [[Bravado]] called "Iron Hands" Sydney Rabbidwhacker. In the [[Space Opera Network#Medieval Set|Medieval Set]], where ''The Double Marriage of the Careless Shepherdess'' is being shot, they are pit against a live action dragon played by a [[Giant Flamin' Stooge]]. Finally, in the [[Space Opera Network#Pirate Set|Pirate Set]], where the [[Phantom]] is shooting ''Captain Opera-Beard and the Bumbling Brigands of Toilet Water Bay'', the heroes must fight a [[Sea Stooge]] and defeat [[the Kraken]].

[[File:RPS Ending.jpg|thumb|320px|The DLC's ending]]

Once all three tasks have been completed, the [[Phantom]] congratulates them and asks the team to join him by the elevator in the [[Space Opera Network#Main TV Studio|Main TV Studio]]. [[Rayman]] shows wariness, but they nonetheless ascend to the [[Space Opera Network#Control Room|Control Room]], where the [[Phantom]] reveals his duplicity, explaining that he had been plotting his revenge the entire time and only manipulated the heroes into ridding the [[Space Opera Network]] of [[Darkmess]]. With the help of his newfound fame, as the studio is now number one in the galaxy, he intends to defeat the heroes as part of one last performance. Breaking the fourth wall, he notably taunts [[Rayman]] for having become irrelevant and fallen second to the [[Rabbid]]s.

In battles reminiscent of when he was first encountered, the team eventually defeats the [[Phantom]], destroying the spotlights that provide him with immunity. [[Beep-0]] claims that he was never fooled by their old enemy's promises, but this is quickly dismissed by [[Rabbid Mario]] who reminds him that he has already fallen for it once. [[Rayman]] then exclaims that it was nice to fight alongside [[Rabbid]]s for once.

Having found a functioning warp portal, [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]] decide to head back to Princess Peach's castle, having not found the actor career much to their liking, while [[Rayman]] chooses to stay for some time, explaining that the [[Rabbid]]s here at the [[Space Opera Network|studio]] are actually trying to do some good and simply need some supervision.

[[Beep-0]] then goes on to thank [[Rayman]], promising him that he can count on them, should he need anything. Finally, the game ends with [[Rabbid Mario]] hugging [[Rayman]] and [[Rabbid Peach]] exchanging presents with him. In pictures shown after the credits, the presents are revealed to be a Mario cap with [[Rabbid]] ears, which [[Rayman]] wears, and a [[Rayman]] hoodie, which Mario holds in his hands.

==Gameplay==
[[File:RPS Telescopic fist charging.jpg|thumb|320px|[[Rayman]] charging his [[telescopic fist]] during exploration]]

Overall, the DLC plays very similarly to [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope|the base game]], in that it is a strategy turn-based game with overworld exploration. At first, only [[Rayman]] is playable, but he is very soon joined by [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]]. None of the other characters from [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope|the base game]] are available in the DLC.

During exploration, [[Rayman]] can use his [[telescopic fist]] to punch objects, including breakable ones, and start battles with enemies. Charging his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] allows it to reach further, while his [[grappling fist]] ability allows him to grab objects with it. He is also able to [[Running|run]], though he will be temporarily stunned if he bumps into an obstacle. In a stark contrast to his platforming roots, [[Rayman]] cannot jump during exploration, and must instead rely on other means to move vertically, such as ramps, ladders, stairs, jump tiles and [[Rabbid]]-shaped cannons and warp pipes.

In combat, this is possible using jump tiles and the team jump ability, and he can also move around using [[flying ring]]s. Unlike [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]], [[Rayman]] cannot equip [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Sparks]], but he possesses the [[Blaster]] and [[Plunger Guard]] weapons, and can use the [[Vortex]] and [[Shock Rocket|Rocket]] costumes, which grant him passive abilities and equip him with new weapons and abilities, namely the [[Vortex Blaster]], the [[Vortex Guard]] and the [[Vortex Pull]] with the [[Vortex]] costume and the [[Rocket Blaster]], the [[Rocket Ride]] and the [[Rocket Guard]] with the [[Shock Rocket|Rocket]] costume. All heroes also possess the [[dash]] ability.

[[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]]'s movesets are unchanged from [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope|the base game]]: while the former is equipped with [[the Dukes]] and possesses the [[Counter Blow]] technique, the latter is equipped with the [[Triple-Troll]] and can use the [[Heal]] technique. They can, however, equip two new [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Sparks]], [[Selfie]] and [[Cryoquake]], which they are revealed to have rescued after defeating Cursa. Their skill trees have also been condensed, merging multiple upgrades from [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope|the base game]] into fewer spots.

==References to the ''Rayman'' series==
''Rayman in the Phantom Show'' contains numerous references to the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]:

*[[Rayman]] travels to the [[Space Opera Network]] via a [[shell]]. The crashed [[shell]] can still be found in the [[Space Opera Network#Repository|Repository]].
*"The Rayman Show," the track played when [[Rayman]] first arrives at the [[Space Opera Network]], remixes multiple themes from the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]]. The song begins with an arrangement of "Chasing a Dream" from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''' [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]. Shortly after, the main theme of ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' is heard. Near the end of the song, an arrangement of the main them heard in [[Teensies In Trouble]], known as the "Medieval Theme" in the [[Rayman Legends (Original Game Soundtrack)|''Rayman Legends'' soundtrack]], plays.
*"Anchors Aweigh!," the track played in the [[Space Opera Network#Pirate Set|Pirate Set]], uses the beat of "Moving Ground" from the [[Rayman Legends (Original Game Soundtrack)|''Rayman Legends'' soundtrack]] about 1 minute and 21 seconds into the song.
*"Slay the Dragon," the track played in the [[Castle Chaos]] and [[The Dragon That Wasn't]] battles, uses a chant that seems to be inspired by those played in the levels [[Moseying the Mountain]] and [[Riding the Storm]] of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
*"The Space Opera Network - TV Commercial", the track played in the DLC’s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kik2LB00hWI launch trailer], remixes "Babel Tower" from the [[Rayman Legends (Original Game Soundtrack)|''Rayman Legends'' soundtrack]] near the end of the song.
*Replicas of [[Mr Dark]]'s hat and cloak can be found hanging on a wall in the [[Space Opera Network#Repository|Repository]].
*Replicas of [[Barbara]]'s helmet, hair and axe can be found.
*A replica of a [[plum juice]] barrel can be found.
*Replicas of [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the Magician]]'s hat and staff can be found.
*Cardboard cutouts depicting [[Robo-Pirate]]s can be seen on the [[Space Opera Network#Pirate Set|Pirate Set]].
*A replica of a tree from [[the Dream Forest]] with a [[plum]] growing on it can be found.
*Replicas of all [[four Masks of Polokus]] can be found.
*The standard skin of [[Rayman]]'s [[Blaster]] is based on the design of [[giant mosquito]]es.
*[[Rayman]]'s [[Plunger Guard]] weapons have the shape of a [[plum]].
*The Legendary skins for the [[Blaster]], [[The Dukes]], and the [[Triple-Troll]] are based on the designs of [[Betilla]], [[Globox]], and the [[Grand Minimus]], respectively.
*One of [[Rayman]]'s idle animations is playing a guitar, the same way he plays an air-guitar at the end of the music levels [[Castle Rock]], [[Dragon Slayer]] and [[Grannies World Tour]] in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Furthermore, the guitar he plays is identical to one found in [[:File:RaymanLegends2 1920x1080.jpg|a promotional artwork for the same game]].
*When [[Rayman]] wins a battle, he strikes his iconic peace sign pose from the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games.
*Various props of [[Globox]] can be found.
*Posters of a cowboy [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|toad]] and what appears to be a variant of a [[Hatman Ninja]] can be found in the [[Space Opera Network#Western Set|Western Set]].
*A replica of the giant yellow submarine from ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'' can be found.
*Before the final battle, the [[Phantom]] mentions [[Globox]] and [[Mr Dark]]. He notably says to [[Rayman]] that his friend "needs to detox from your stinky sneaker", a probable reference to the introduction scene of ''[[Rayman M]]'' where the hero's best friend steals his shoes.
**[[Rayman]]’s socks from the same cutscene can be found as well.
*An animatronic of [[Grunderbite]] can be found in the main quest [[The Medieval Set]]. Upon completing it, [[Rayman]] exclaims that he is reminded of his time at [[Castle Rock]].
*Throughout the DLC, [[Beep-0]] and the [[Phantom]] call [[Rayman]] an eggplant, which may be a reference to [[Report N° 20Z]], a series of stories made to promote ''[[Rayman 2]]'', in which a [[Robo-Pirate]] describes [[Rayman]] as a "potato-headed eggplant."

There are also multiple replicas and props from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''.

==Memories==
Memories are collectibles found in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. They contain notes by JEANIE about various elements of the game such as characters, enemies, and locations, and can be either read or played as audio.

In ''Rayman in the Phantom Show'', an additional 14 memories can be found. They are instead dictated by [[Beep-0]], presumably because of JEANIE's absence from the DLC.

|The [[Space Opera Network]]
|After decades of poor ratings, the [[Space Opera Network]] bet everything on a live comback concert by the [[Phantom]]. It wound up in bankruptcy with the opera singer as its largest creditor. Rumor has it that afterwards, the [[Phantom]] held a live telethon where viewers paid GOBS of money to have him stop singing so the network would return to its original programming, making him a small fortune.

|[[Rayman]]
|This [[Rayman]] character is fascinating indeed. He has hands, but no arms - at least none that I can see. He has feet, but no legs. He has different costumes, each of which enhances his fighting abilities in various ways. [[Rayman]] came to the [[Space Opera Network]] the same way we did - by invitation. However, he is far less trusting of our circumstance - probably just nerves brought on by stage fright.

|[[Bravado]]s
|Where's JEANIE now, I wonder? Probably making all kinds of unauthorized changes to the WM ARC. I shall therefore have to do my best with the enemy analysis. The [[Bravado]]s are detestable little long-range fighters that are always on the move, climbing to elevated positions from which to fire upon us from medium-range, where we remain under constant threat of their counter attacks and Gust super effects.

|-
|[[Giant Flamin' Stooge]]
|Budget cuts at the [[Space Opera Network]] necessitated the last-minute procuring of a [[Giant Flamin' Stooge]] as a primary antagonist when a prospect of an animated dragon becomes too expensive. The [[Giant Flamin' Stooge]] has formidable scene presence, thanks to its terrifying weapon and area-of-effect fire attacks. Its strategy is simple - shoot Heroes in range and to have them scatter away from cover.

|[[The Kraken]]
|I um... I don't know what to say about THIS, other than I'm fairly certain it's a set piece from the low budget sci-fi film "The Robot vs. the Kraken vs. the Bride of the Giant Shrinking Man". The prop department has stuck some [[Darkmess#Darkmess Eye|Darkmess Eyes]] on the Kraken, giving it an even more bizarre and yet menacing appearance than in the film.

|The [[Phantom]]
|The [[Phantom]] has been quite busy since we last saw him at Spooky Trails - a whirlwind relationship with Bea, the Warden of Terra Flora; co-host of the annual Galactovision song contest; and an album (A Thousand Hours of Mario Falling Into Lava), all under the watchful eye of the paparazzi. And most recently? Director of the [[Space Opera Network]]. Whatever you might say about him - he knows how to milk his 15 minutes.

|Plungerhands McMurdy
|The show using this set is entitled The Ballad of Plungerhands McMurdy. A typical episode involves the titular character strolling into a small town looking for respite, only to tangle with a greedy "indoor plumbing baron". Galaxy Confidential called it "adequately entertaining", and gave the show its "Nice To Have On In The Background" Award (honorable mention).
|[[Space Opera Network#Western Set|Western Set]]
|-
|The Careless Shepherdess
|The show broadcast from this set is entitled The Double Marriage of the Careless Shepherdess - an hour-long musical dramedy in which the [[Phantom]] plays "Cyprien Fairclough", a young swashbuckling prince with a voice like a nightingale and throngs of female admirers. Let's just say it involves a LOT of makeup, stuntpeople, reverse-aging technology, and award-winning editing to get viewers to buy into the concept.
|[[Space Opera Network#Medieval Set|Medieval Set]]
|-
|Captain Opera-Beard
|The show utilizing this set is Captain Opera-Beard and the Bumbling Brigands of Toilet Water Bay. It's won several awards, I think - not so much for its acting, music, writing, direction, humor, or overall quality - but its wardrobe and sound mixing are top notch, and have helped the show maintain an iron grip on the top spot with viewers during the Wednesday 02:00 - 03:00&nbsp;a.m. time slot.

|Morning Galaxy Magazine
|These sets were from a show called Morning Galaxy Magazine With The [[Phantom]]! An insipid tabloid. Let's see, DJ Cheep Tuna was a guest, the artist Gerspard... Sullivan's Train Talk?

|S.O.N. Movie-of-the-Week
|The prop warehouse fills me a sense of déjà vu - and now I realize why! The warehouse is FILLED with props and set pieces modeled after our OWN adventures! The [[Space Opera Network]] optioned the rights to our life stories for a film. It appears to be stuck in turnaround - GOOD! They sent us the script - they replaced me with a wise-cracking parrot in order to make me "warmer and more relatable". Can you imagine?!

|Spark Road Trip
|We discovered that when packing for a trip, it's extremely difficult to decide which [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Sparks]] to bring. In the end we brought them all, including two brand new [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Sparks]] we saved after the conclusion of our adventure versus Cursa - [[Selfie]] and [[Cryoquake]]. We thought it'd be fun for the [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Sparks]] to have a little R' n' R after everything. Goodness knows they deserve it.

|The [[Phantom]] 2
|The [[Phantom]] lured [[Rayman]], [[Rabbid Mario]], [[Rabbid Peach]], and [[Beep-0|myself]] to the [[Space Opera Network]] under false pretenses, so we might boost the viewership from which he draws his power. Should his spotlight have grown any larger, he would have become invincible. Fortunately, I chose the perfect moment to strike. Once again, I was onto him from the onset!

|The Golden Tickets
|I wish I could say we had a fair and reasoned discussion about how to use the three golden ticket invitations to the [[Space Opera Network]], but as [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]] were the only Heroes with me when I recieved the transmission, we elected to tell the others AFTER we warped there. I suppose we got carried away, but let's be honest - some of us Heroes naturally dazzle on screen, others... not so much.

==Hidden message==
Prior to the game's release, creative director [[Davide Soliani]] shared a message with the community, revealing that a "secret hidden message" would show upon 100% completion of the DLC, and adding that he is on a mission to "bring [[Rayman]] back to the glory he deserves".<ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''RAYMAN IS BACK in 3D in new Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope DLC'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1456994#p1456994</ref>

The hidden message in question is shown to the player after completing all quests and obtaining all weapon skins and memories, and is as follows:

{{Quote|The bleakest dark yields to the faintest light; a light that exists within each of us. You are not alone, we are a multitude, linked together by a thin red thread that sews together our hearts and souls. Tighten the knot and we will be together forever, lighting the way.}}

[[Davide Soliani|Soliani]], however, announced his departure from [[Ubisoft]] on July 24 2024.<ref>Twitter, @DavideSoliani, https://x.com/DavideSoliani/status/1816050633343938597, « Hi all folks. After 25 years, 11 of which beautifully spent working with Nintendo on Mario+Rabbids along the company of our incredible community of players, I have decided to leave Ubisoft to embark on a new adventure. I can't say more now. Thanks a lot for everything, truly 🙏❤️ »</ref>
