'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids | '''''Rayman Raving Rabbids''''' is a portable version of [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the console game of the same name]] which was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007. | ||
Unlike both [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the console versions]] and [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]], this game uses 3D graphics but plays as a sidescroller throughout the majority of the game. Like the console version there are several minigames which have to be completed to progress. | |||
The game takes usage of the ''[[Rayman 2]]'' engine, and several elements are holdovers from [[Rayman DS|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman 2'']], including the menu fonts, [[Rayman]]'s model, sounds, textures and animations. | The game takes usage of the ''[[Rayman 2]]'' engine, and several elements are holdovers from [[Rayman DS|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman 2'']], including the menu fonts, [[Rayman]]'s model, sounds, textures and animations. | ||

The game starts by placing the player in the Colosseum, the main hub area, where the player can go on to select a level to play. The Colosseum is split up into five different areas, with all except the final and first one containing three levels. Each area has a specific theme in which all the levels within the area take place in. The first area has a beach theme and acts as a tutorial area. The second area a forest theme with many hovering wooden obstacles for the player to use to get through the levels. The third area has an old ruin theme with inspiration from Egyptian pyramids. The tone is much darker here with elements which resemble those from [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]]. The fourth area has a more industrial theme to it with elements from the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. Lava is the main obstacle to overcome here with it being found underneath most platforms. The fifth and final area is home to only two levels which both serve as boss encounters. The first one takes place in a snowy environment where the player has to face off [[Colossus (Rayman Raving Rabbids | The game starts by placing the player in the Colosseum, the main hub area, where the player can go on to select a level to play.

Each level in the game, except for those in the first and fifth area, have either two or three paths. These paths split into their own direction during one point in the level, where signs appear to guide the player to the right path. During the start of the game there is only one path unlocked at the time, with the others usually being blocked with a power the player has yet to find. Each path has a set amount of [[Trophy|trophies]] which the player earns upon completing it. The usual amount of [[Trophy|trophies]] is 3, although later levels have more with boss encounters having the most. These [[Trophy|trophies]] are in turn used to unlock more levels throughout the game. Each normal level also has a hidden [[Gold Lum]], which appears as a giant bubble filled with [[Lum]]s. Upon finding and collecting one, the maximum amount of [[Yellow Lum]]s which [[Rayman]] can hold is increased by 10. By collecting all of the [[Gold Lum]]s, the player can have a maximum of 340 [[Yellow Lum]]s. | Each level in the game, except for those in the first and fifth area, have either two or three paths.

Each normal level starts off with a side-scrolling segment which has normal platforming elements, such as moving platforms and gaps to jump over, as well as enemies to defeat. [[Rayman]] has a similar move set as in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' with the ability to jump and shoot and later learn other abilities such as swimming and swinging off of [[Purple Lum]]s. New powers are obtained by finding a gift, a wrapped present which usually requires finding [[switch]]es to release. The game has a total of seven powers, four of which are new [[Skin|costumes]]. The [[Skin|costumes]] are represented by a certain color and element, each having its own unique powers. They are put to use when [[Rayman]] stands on a stone (akin to a [[Stone of Thought]]) with a symbol that represents a costume that is needed for that situation. These are the following: | Each normal level starts off with a side-scrolling segment which has normal platforming elements, such as moving platforms and gaps to jump over, as well as enemies to defeat.

* '''Punk (Fire):''' Allows [[Rayman]] to create a small bomb which he can then carry (similar to the [[keg]] from ''[[Rayman 2]]'') and throw forward. When the bomb isn't being carried it will start a timer until it eventually explodes. The goal is usually to find a blocker door to throw the bomb onto to destroy it.

Almost all enemies are [[Rabbid]]s in some form. Some take just one hit to defeat, while others may take four. Some [[Rabbid]]s use certain contraptions to aid them, such as trains or submarines, or simply just hide in a box. Most [[Rabbid]]s attack by throwing [[plunger]]s at [[Rayman]]. There are also [[Demon]]s and [[fish]] which will attack [[Rayman]]. | Almost all enemies are [[Rabbid]]s in some form. Some take just one hit to defeat, while others may take four.

Most of the soundtrack consists of reused tracks from [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the console version]]. To fit on the Nintendo DS cartridge most of the songs were compressed which resulted in a lower quality which is noticeable at higher volumes. | Most of the soundtrack consists of reused tracks from [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the console version]].
