'''''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc''''' is the third major game in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], and the sequel to ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. ''Rayman 3'' was released in 2003. It is notable for being the first ''Rayman'' game not directed by series creator [[Michel Ancel]], who was occupied with the development of ''Beyond Good & Evil'' at the time. Like its immediate predecessor, ''Rayman 3'' is a 3D platformer. However, ''Rayman 3'''s levels are more straightfoward and oriented towards action and combat rather than platforming and exploration. The main campaign of ''Rayman 3'' is temporally linear – unlike the previous games, where [[Rayman]] could physically return to completed locations, each ''Rayman 3'' level is visited only once within the storyline. | '''''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc''''' is the third major game in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], and the sequel to ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.

''Rayman 3'' features a points-based scoring system; another first for [[Rayman (series)|the series]]. Players could post their final scores on the then-new [[RaymanZone]] website. However, this function was disabled when RaymanZone was retooled to suit the ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids|Raving Rabbids]]'' games. In February 2009, members of the [[Rayman Pirate-Community]] contacted [[Ubisoft]] and successfully arranged for the creation of a new [[Hall of Fame]] < | ''Rayman 3'' features a points-based scoring system; another first for [[Rayman (series)|the series]].

The scoring system is based on the combo mode, which is triggered every time points are collected. Depending on the nature of the last yield, it will either last 2 or 6 seconds, unless the player collects points within the given time, thus bringing back the time left before the combo mode ends to 2 or 6 seconds. Any item collected during the combo mode will have their points added to the combo counter (in addition to the main counter), with a multiple of two for the items between the sixth and the tenth position, three for the items between the eleventh and the fifteenth position, four for the items between the sixteenth and the twentieth position, and five for the items after the twenty-first position. When the combo mode ends, all the points in the combo counter will be added to the main counter, and any new combo will start at the first position again. Notably, if [[Rayman]] is using a [[Laser-Washing Powder]] can, points are doubled. | The scoring system is based on the combo mode, which is triggered every time points are collected.

While the developers thought the maximum attainable score was around 500,000 points, the discovery of various glitches and the mastery of the scoring mechanics allowed much higher scores, the highest known overall score being 858,001 points. < | While the developers thought the maximum attainable score was around 500,000 points, the discovery of various glitches and the mastery of the scoring mechanics allowed much higher scores, the highest known overall score being 858,001 points. <ref name="pchof">[http://raymanpc.com/?p=hof Pirate-Community Hall of Fame]</ref> | ||
