'''2D Nightmare''' is the last of the three minigames which are exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. It is notable for the fact that the conditions under which it is meant to be unlocked were unknown until the end of 2011. | |||
2D Nightmare is a ''[[Rayman 1]]'' flashback in the same style as [[2D Madness]]. 2D Nightmare, however, takes place in [[Picture City]], whereas 2D Madness takes place in [[the Dream Forest]]. Inspections of the files on the disc of the PC version of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' confirmed 2D Nightmare's existence and name, and revealed that it had once been planned for inclusion in the other versions of the game, along with a chess minigame and a minigame in which the player controls a [[Xowar]] which is chasing [[Rayman]]. The existence of 2D Nightmare was further supported by the presence of a slot filled with question marks at the bottom of the minigame menu in ''Rayman 3''. In 2003, a screenshot of the level was posted in an official [[RaymanZone]] gallery; when the forums were deleted, the image was lost and the minigame's existence was called into dispute. In November 2010, the screenshot was finally located. | 2D Nightmare is a ''[[Rayman 1]]'' flashback in the same style as [[2D Madness]]. 2D Nightmare, however, takes place in [[Picture City]], whereas 2D Madness takes place in [[the Dream Forest]].

Two other GameCube-exclusive ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' minigames exist. [[Mad Trax]] is a two-player kart-racing game, in which one player, controlling [[Rayman]] with the GameCube controller, races around an area in a similar fashion to the game's [[Crazy Shoe]] sections, collecting [[jewel]]s, and the other player, controlling [[Globox]], arranges the race-track by playing a ''Tetris''-like game on the connected Game Boy Advance. The other minigame, [[Wheelis]], is similar, but it involves four players; two controlling Rayman and [[Gumsi]] in giant shoes, and two playing the ''Tetris''-like game on Game Boy Advances. Both Mad Trax and Wheelis have been unlocked successfully by connecting a Game Boy Advance playing ''[[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Rayman 3]]'' to a GameCube playing ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. | Two other GameCube-exclusive ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' minigames exist.

In the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', [[2D Madness]] is unlocked simply by connecting a Game Boy Advance to the console. In the other console and PC versions of ''Rayman 3'', it is unlocked by earning a certain number of points in-game. 2D Nightmare can reportedly be unlocked by connecting a 100%-complete GameCube version of ''Rayman 3'' to a 100%-complete [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], but this method has not worked when attempted.
