===[[The Fairy Council]]===

[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] are sleeping peacefully together in the forests of [[the Glade of Dreams|the Crossroads of Dreams]]. A nearby [[Red Lum]] receives such a terrible fright that it is transformed into an evil [[Black Lum]] named [[André]], with aspirations of world domination. André begins to convert other Red Lums into Black Lums, spreading his corruption simply by touching them. Soon André has a large swarm of Black Lum minions. Acting as one, they steal the wool from a nearby [[Mawpaw]] and weave it into a sack-cloth costume for André: he has now become the first [[Hoodlum]]. Raising his blunderbuss, he advances towards the terrified [[Murfy]], who cowers behind a [[mushroom]]. Murfy flees and wakes up Globox. Unable to awaken Rayman, Globox tries to drag him to safety and accidentally pulls off his hands. Murfy grabs Rayman by the hair and flies him to [[the Fairy Council]], where André's forces are gathering. Many Black Lums have now become Hoodlums – multiple Hoodlum varieties are beginning to emerge. Rayman tracks down Globox, who returns his hands. Inside the Fairy Council, Rayman manages to defeat André's Hoodlum form, reducing him to a Black Lum once more. André reveals his plan: to reach [[the Heart of the World]], deep within the Fairy Council, and convert [[Yellow Lum|its energy]] into an army of Hoodlums with which he can take over the world. In the ensuing struggle, André accidentally flies into the mouth of Globox, who unintentionally swallows him. When the heroes reach the chamber housing the Heart of the World, they encounter the [[Grand Minimus]], the Kings of the [[Teensie]]s. Realising that André must be extracted from Globox's stomach, the Grand Minimus instructs Rayman to take him to an old friend of his – [[Otto Psi]], a [[Teensie doctor]] whose office is in the [[Clearleaf Forest]]. Murfy takes leave of Rayman, saying ‘See you in ''[[~~Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|~~Rayman 4]]''!’. Rayman and Globox step into a portal and pass through a psychedelic [[Teensie Highway]], which leads them to their next destination.

The game's impressive visuals and artistic style received universal praise. Its dialogue, voice acting and humour polarised reviewers, with some praising their wit, and others criticising them as annoying and grating. The gameplay was generally regarded as solid, but some criticised the game for focusing on combat and timer-based puzzles rather than platforming.

In 2006, ''Nintendo Power'' published a brief retrospective on ''Rayman 3'', in anticipation of ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]'', which was in production at the time.
