It is the first and only game in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] to be played from an isometric viewpoint in what appears to be a 2D environment, while using 3D sprites. | ||

He is awakened by a strange sound, and goes off to search for its source. Later, [[Rayman]] awakens up to find that [[Globox]] is missing, and goes off to look for him. | ||

Before he finally meets up with [[Globox]], he must first destroy the [[Infernal Machine]], which manufactures the potent [[plum juice]]. It is later discovered that it is [[Globox]] himself who is being turned into [[Reflux#In Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge|Reflux's clone]]. | ||

Later, when he and [[Rayman]] are reunited, [[André]] often insults [[Rayman]] or the feeble attempts of the [[Hoodlum]]s ("meddlesome loser" and "Lame-man" being some of the jeers he throws at [[Rayman]]). However [[Rayman]], not used to [[Globox]] acting in such a manner, simply does not hear most of it, though at one point he asks [[Globox]] if he was hit in the head. | ||

In the [[Pit of Endless Fire]], after the defeat of said [[Firemonster]], [[André]] takes full control of [[Globox]] and announces his return. Shortly after, he turns [[Globox]] into the [[Reflux#In Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge|clone of Reflux]] and fights [[Rayman]] in the new body. | ||

The story ends with the pair walking off into the forest. | ||

''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge's'' gameplay uses some elements from ''[[Rayman 3]]'', including the score counter and the Combo-mode, [[Teensie]] [[cage]]s and [[Laser-Washing Powder]] cans. [[Hoodlum]]s and other enemies from ''[[Rayman 3]]'' are also encountered. The difference is that [[Lum]]s, namely [[Yellow Lum|Yellow]], [[Red Lum|Red]], [[Green Lum|Green]] and [[Blue Lum]]s, are collected as well as [[jewel]]s. In each level, there is a certain number of [[Yellow Lum]]s to collect, and typically there are four [[cage]]s to break, both of which are counted down; the more the player collects and the higher he or she scores, the more likely he or she is to gain up to three [[Murfy Stamp]]s, which are needed to unlock bonus levels. | ''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge's'' gameplay uses some elements from ''[[Rayman 3]]'', including the score counter and the Combo-mode, [[Teensie]] [[cage]]s and [[Laser-Washing Powder]] cans.

In a few levels, [[Globox]] is a playable character, though he cannot fight the same way as [[Rayman]], or go near the [[Hoodlum]]s (because he is afraid of them, he will automatically run a short distance away from), unless he drinks a barrel of [[plum juice]], which will send him in a trance and have the confidence to attack enemies. Sometimes [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] can be played in the same level, though the player will have to switch characters for the right tasks, and the level cannot be exited unless both characters meet each other at the exit. | In a few levels, [[Globox]] is a playable character, though he cannot fight the same way as [[Rayman]], or go near the [[Hoodlum]]s (because he is afraid of them, he will automatically run a short distance away from), unless he drinks a barrel of [[plum juice]], which will send him in a trance and have the confidence to attack enemies.

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* On the North American box art of the game, there is a typographical error whereby the apostrophe is placed between the word ‘Hoodlum’ and the letter ‘s’, making the subtitle seem as if there is only one [[Hoodlum]] rather than a group of them. | * On the North American box art of the game, there is a typographical error whereby the apostrophe is placed between the word ‘Hoodlum’ and the letter ‘s’, making the subtitle seem as if there is only one [[Hoodlum]] rather than a group of them. | ||
* Although this is not a Game Boy Advance version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' (but rather, a direct sequel), it does mark many ''[[Rayman 3]]'' characters' first and only appearance on handheld, many of which were absent from [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the actual Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. These characters include [[Reflux]], [[Roméo Patti]] (referred to as Doc), and [[Bégoniax]] (though there was a level in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] called [[Swamp of Bégoniax]] but the character never actually appeared). It is possibly [[André]]'s first appearance in a handheld game, although the [[Black Lum]] swallowed by [[Globox]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' may be him, simply unnamed and with a smaller role. [[André]] does not strictly appear in this game, as he merely possesses [[Globox]]. | * Although this is not a Game Boy Advance version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' (but rather, a direct sequel), it does mark many ''[[Rayman 3]]'' characters' first and only appearance on handheld, many of which were absent from [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the actual Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']].

* There is an inconsistency in [[Roméo Patti|Roméo]]'s appearance in this game. He gives his name as "Doc", not [[Roméo Patti|Roméo]], and [[Rayman]] does not appear to recognise him, despite meeting him in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. | |||
* There is | *In the first level, [[Rayman]] tells [[Murfy]] that he has been able to use his [[helicopter]] power all his life. However, he did not have that ability at the start of [[Rayman 1|the first game]]. | ||
*At one stage in the game, [[Globox]] (or, rather, [[André]] controlling him), mentions the ''Titanic'', a real-world ocean liner which sunk after a collision with an iceberg between Southampton (United Kingdom) and New York (United States) in 1912. This is one of the few occasions when real-world events are referenced in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. | |||
