'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids''''' is a handheld version of the first ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' game that was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2006. Unlike [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the console version of the game]], it is a 2D platformer that is in the same vein as [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|''Rayman 3'' on the Game Boy Advance]], and it is notable for being the last game in the ''Rayman'' series to be released for this handheld. It is also the only Rabbids game for Game Boy Advance.
'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids''''' is a 2D sidescrolling platform game that was released exclusively for the Game Boy Advance in 2006. With a traditional adventure story and gameplay that is almost identical to that of [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|''Rayman 3'' on the Game Boy Advance]], it stands in sharp contrast to the other iterations of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', almost all of which are minigame-based party games. It is the last game in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] to be released for the Game Boy Advance, and the only ''[[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids]]'' game for the system.
 
This game's story and enemies are taken from Ubisoft Montpellier's cancelled ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' platformer, while its artistic style and environments are taken from Phoenix Interactive's cancelled ''[[Rayman 4 (2005 cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]'' prototype.

[[Rayman]] is having a nap when the [[Rabbid]]s suddenly appear and take [[Rayman]] to a jail cell somewhere in [[Dark (world)|the Dark world]], taking away his hands. With the help of [[Murfy]], he manages to get his hands back and escape the jail, but not before fighting [[Pink]]'s new toy: a giant [[Antitoon]]-like machine. After defeating it, [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] comes and gives Rayman a [[Gangsta]] costume which he can use to stomp the ground. At the village, Ly tells Rayman how the [[Rabbid]]s used to be sweet, innocent creatures who were so kind the other animals made fun of them. Eventually the Rabbids could not take this anymore and planned their revenge. Rayman travels through five different worlds, beating the Rabbids and collecting more costumes, and eventually faces the [[Rabbids' Mothership]]. Rayman stops the mothership and brings peace back to [[the valley]].

==Early production==
{{Main|Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance, early production)}}
 
''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' for the Game Boy Advance was originally meant to be a port of [[Rayman 4 (2005 cancelled prototype)|Phoenix Studio's ''Rayman 4'']], but as the game was cancelled, its adaptation was changed into one of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''.

*'''[[Murfy]]:''' Murfy helps [[Rayman]] by telling him what to do in order to escape the Rabbids' dungeons. He is not as rude as he was in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', but he is still very cheeky about some things.

==Gameplay==
The gameplay is very similar to [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], although somewhat simplified, with fewer, shorter levels. The free-roaming hubs are replaced by simple world maps for each of the 5 worlds in the game. Moving between the worlds is accomplished through portals in the main level. Once a boss level in a given world is completed, the portal to the next one is unlocked.
Most of the levels are set in classic 2D platformer style. A few of them are time-based and must be completed before the timer runs out or else restarted. The other levels contain a traditional mix of platforming, trap-dodging and enemies. Some levels feature time-based 3D kart racing (another concept returning from [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|''Rayman 3'' for the Game Boy Advance]]).
Each world contains 4 levels (with the exception of [[Sweets (world)|The Sweets World]] which has 5), plus one boss level accessible at the end of the world. All levels but the boss levels contain [[Yellow Lum]]s, either 50 or 100 of them. Most of the levels (not including the time-based ones) also contain [[Cage]]s to break (always 5 per level). The levels always contain only a single phase, although sometimes it can be fairly long and have lums or cages in hidden or not easily accessible areas. Any level can be replayed an unlimited number of times to obtain lums and cages missed, although there does not seem to be any requirement to collect them all, other than for the sake of achievement. There is a total of 1550 [[Yellow Lum]]s (more than in any other Rayman game) and a total of 60 [[Cage]]s.
Rayman's powers in the game are almost identical to those in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], and include the [[telescopic fist]], the [[grappling fist]], [[hanging]] and the [[helicopter]]. The [[super helicopter]] power is available in select areas through [[Blue Lum]]s. However, the [[Bodyshot]] power from [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] as well as the [[running]] power from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] are missing.
Additional powers are unlocked in the form of [[#Costumes|Costumes]]. The concept of Costumes resembles that of [[Laser-Washing Powder|Combat Fatigues]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.
==Game records==
