The HHQ is over seen by the game's major enemy [[André]], who uses tricks and traps to capture Rayman's friend globox. The actual environment is a hacked together never-seen vehicle which transports Rayman to the Leptys where by he can trick the King of the [[Knaaren]] into using the scepter to call for power via the gods.

André's machine 'the horrible machine', is defeated and in a last ditch attempt to stop Rayman he opens up the flood gates holding back the lava effectively destroying his own ship and killing a proportion of his own army. Both André and Rayman survive the suicide attempt.
The '''Hoodlum Headquarters''', also known as the '''Hoodlum Meddleworks''' or the '''Hoodlum Factory''', is the penultimate level in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. After climbing to the top of [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]], [[Rayman]] is forced to snowboard after his frozen friend [[Globox]]. When [[Rayman]] manages to pass him their weight combined manages to break the stone shelf they were standing on, tumbling them into the headquarters. The headquarters is overseen by the game's main villain, [[André]], who uses tricks and traps to capture [[Globox]].
 
==As a level==
===Stage 1 - The Welcome Desk and the Warehouse===
[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] arrive through a pipe, and find themselves at the entrance to the headquarters. The [[hostess]] begins welcoming the duo, and [[Globox]] immediately falls in love with her voice. After fighting a [[Grim Keeper]], the duo proceed through a narrow passageway to get to the 'welcome desk', where the hostess is stationed. Unfortunately, a [[Spinneroo]] guards the entrance, and if [[Rayman]] tries to attack him, an out-of-reach [[Hoodoo]] will protect his companion from harm. [[Rayman]] finds another route, up a ladder, to get to the [[Hoodoo]], but the floor breaks and [[Rayman]] finds himself traveling down another pipe to the Warehouse, where the [[Hoodlum]]s test their weapons. Eventually, after defeating some of the [[Hoodlum]]s on the lower level and advancing upwards, [[Rayman]] must carry several rocks up slopes whilst avoiding [[plum juice]] grenades thrown by an enthusiastic [[Hoodboom]] to reach a [[switch]] that lowers the platform the [[Hoodoo]] was standing on. After defeating the [[Hoodoo]] and the [[Spinneroo]], [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] head into the next room, where a wooden cut-out of a bikini-clad female member of [[Globox's species]] has been set up. [[Globox]] runs over to hug the cut-out, but falls into a trap whilst doing so. [[André]] then starts talking over the intercom about how [[Rayman]] will be next to fall into a trap. [[Rayman]] must go up and defeat a [[Stumbleboom]] that contains a [[Heavy Metal Fist]] to break down a door to progress.
 
The score thresholds for this stage are 2805 points for 25% (2 stars), 5610 points for 50% (3 stars), 8415 points for 75% (4 stars) and 11220 points for 100% (5 stars).

===Stage 2 - The Firing Range===
[[Rayman]] arrives in a room full of [[Hoodlum]]s, and a claw machine carrying a screaming [[Globox]], who is upside-down. Once [[Rayman]] beats all the [[Hoodlum]]s, a pair of [[Hoodstormer]]s will come out of a machine. Once they are defeated, a [[Heckler]] will appear. [[Rayman]] must defeat it to leave the room. As [[Globox]] is upside-down, all the blood is rushing to his head, and he becomes more intelligent as a result. [[Rayman]] must use the [[Shock Rocket]] to shoot a [[Hoodmonger]] that has raised some needed crates to continue on. After getting the crates down through a [[switch]], [[Rayman]] needs to defeat two [[Hoodoo]]s, one protecting a [[Hoodmonger Soldier]], and the other a [[Hoodmonger Officer]]. Once completed, [[Rayman]] jumps down another pipe and manages to lose sight of the now intelligent [[Globox]], ending up in the firing range, where, to open a door, [[Rayman]] must move a stone onto a pressure pad. When he carries it halfway through, a [[Hoodmonger]] will appear and blast its own head off. [[Rayman]] must then battle the three remaining [[Hoodmonger]]s in the firing range itself, filled with a variety of weapons. Once they are all defeated, the [[hostess]] locks the entrance and complains that [[André]] isn't pleased that [[Rayman]]'s still alive, so until the [[Hoodlum]]s learn how to shoot, they will remain locked in the firing range. [[Rayman]] must destroy several targets of himself and [[Globox]] and avoid shooting the [[hostess]] targets to escape the firing range.
 
The score thresholds for this stage are 4618 points for 25% (2 stars), 9235 points for 50% (3 stars), 13853 points for 75% (4 stars) and 18470 points for 100% (5 stars).

===Stage 3 - The Foundry===
[[Rayman]] enters the foundry, where he must scale large contraptions to follow [[Globox]]. It starts with jumping from crate to crate and avoiding the hot lava. Once he reaches a ladder and defeats a [[Hoodboom]], [[Rayman]] will now jump from metal plate to metal plate that are moving on a conveyor belt. After reaching another ladder to progress upwards, doors open, and one at a time comes a [[Hoodmonger]], [[Hoodmonger Soldier]], and [[Hoodmonger Officer]] in that order. Upon defeating another [[Hoodmonger Officer]] guarding a [[switch]], once [[Rayman]] activates it more metal plates are moving, this time in a vertical way needed to continue. After dodging some obstacles and timing jumps, [[Rayman]] reaches the end. The door behind and in front of him close, as a [[Heckler]] whom is protected by a [[Hoodoo]] appears. When the [[Hoodoo]] is defeated, out comes a [[Heavy Metal Fist]] can, needed to destroy the [[Heckler]]. The door leading to the exit opens as the [[Heckler]] is destroyed.
 
The score thresholds for this stage are 2548 points for 25% (2 stars), 5096 points for 50% (3 stars), 7644 points for 75% (4 stars) and 10191 points for 100% (5 stars).

===Stage 4 - The Hall of the [[Horrible Machine]]===
[[Rayman]] arrives in a narrow area where several wooden planks are being transported through scalding pipes. Below lies many [[Porkibank|pigpots]], one contains a [[Jewel|green gem]]. [[Globox]] can be seen, and [[Rayman]] must follow him up until he gets trapped inside another room, full of [[Armaguiddon]]s. [[Rayman]] must go an alternate route, but runs into the [[Horrible Machine]], which he must fight by filling up its pressure gauge. Eventually, the [[Horrible Machine]] is defeated, and in a last-ditch attempt to stop [[Rayman]], [[André]] opens up floodgates holding back lava.

===Stage 5 - The lava run===
