'''2D Nightmare''' is the last of the three minigames that are exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. It was intended to unlock upon connecting a Game Boy Advance to the GameCube, running a copy of ''[[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Rayman 3]]'' with all levels completed. However, due to a programming error, the game does not see the final level, [[Heart of the Ancients]], as complete, making it impossible to unlock the minigame | '''2D Nightmare''' is the last of the three minigames that are exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

However, due to a programming error, the game does not see the final level, [[Heart of the Ancients]], as complete, making it impossible to unlock the minigame by normal means. It can however be unlocked in the GameCube version by inputting a special code in the bonus menu (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, R, L, R, L).<ref>Bluesky, @RayCarrot, https://bsky.app/profile/raycarrot.bsky.social/post/3mec6x3he4c2j</ref> | ||
2D Nightmare is a flashback to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] in the same style as [[2D Madness]]. 2D Nightmare, however, takes place in [[Picture City]], whereas [[2D Madness]] takes place in [[the Dream Forest]]. Extensive use of the [[Throttle Copter]] power-up makes it reminiscent of the second section of [[Pencil Pentathlon]], in which the [[super helicopter]] power was used. | 2D Nightmare is a flashback to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] in the same style as [[2D Madness]]. 2D Nightmare, however, takes place in [[Picture City]], whereas [[2D Madness]] takes place in [[the Dream Forest]].

In the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', [[2D Madness]] is unlocked by connecting the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] with every [[cage]] broken. In the other console and PC versions of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', it is unlocked by earning a certain number of points in-game. 2D Nightmare was originally thought to be unlocked by connecting a 100%-complete GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a 100%-complete [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. Efforts to contact [[Ubisoft]] regarding 2D Nightmare were made, but produced no constructive responses. In December 2011, a method of unlocking 2D Nightmare was finally discovered using external game modifiers, such as Action Replay codes, on the GameCube version. | In the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', [[2D Madness]] is unlocked by connecting the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] with every [[cage]] broken.

Eventually it was found on March 30, 2016 that the game is supposed to unlock when every level in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] is completed. Unfortunately, the variable tracking the number of completed levels is not incremented after [[Heart of the Ancients|the final level]] is completed, meaning that it never reaches the value that the GameCube version expects in order to unlock the minigame. The minigame can therefore be unlocked by raising the variable manually in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] through a cheat program. On March 23, 2023, a [[List of cheats in Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|cheat code]] was found in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] that marks every level in the game as complete, including [[Heart of the Ancients|the final level]]. Entering this code will allow 2D Nightmare to be unlocked once connected to the GameCube version, marking the first time in the over 20 years since the release of [[Rayman 3]] that the minigame has been unlocked without any modifications or cheating devices. | Eventually it was found on March 30, 2016 that the game is supposed to unlock when every level in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] is completed.

Two other GameCube-exclusive ''[[Rayman 3]]'' minigames exist. [[Mad Trax]] is a two-player kart-racing game, in which one player, controlling [[Rayman]] with the GameCube controller, races around an area in a similar fashion to the game's [[Crazy Shoe]] sections, collecting [[Jewel|gems]], and the other player, controlling [[Globox]], arranges the race-track by playing a ''Tetris''-like game on the connected Game Boy Advance. The other minigame, [[Wheelis]], is similar, but it involves four players; two controlling [[Rayman]] and [[Gumsi]] in [[Crazy Shoe]]s, and two playing the ''Tetris''-like game on the Game Boy Advances. Both [[Mad Trax]] and [[Wheelis]] have been unlocked successfully by obtaining enough points in the GameCube version. | Two other GameCube-exclusive ''[[Rayman 3]]'' minigames exist.
