Rabbid

Line 91:

In the leaked pre-announcement trailer for [[Rayman Legends]], the Rabbids featured as a concept toy that would use the NFC technology of the Wii U Gamepad to allow for a level involving them to be unlocked. This was similar to the concept used in the ''Skylanders'' video game series, the level itself featured an Autumn forest with Rabbids coming out of the ground in a similar way as in the cancelled ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. However, this concept and the Rabbids themselves were unused, and did not feature in the final product at all.

== Reception ==

The Rabbids from the Raving Rabbids series became massively popular both through the teaser trailers and the game itself. IGN has stated that the Rabbids have "more personality and charisma than 10 of the most popular video game mascots combined",and that the bunnies have literally "upstaged Rayman himself". GameSpot has noted, "The Rabbids themselves are almost exclusively responsible for [selling the game's humor], as they are, without a doubt, hysterical. They're adorably designed, with their dumb stares, high-pitched shrieks, and a penchant for taking comedic bumps." There has been speculation by reviewers that the success of the Rabbid character will probably inspire the developers to create more games of the franchise, possibly even without Rayman. This was first hinted in the launch trailer of the first game, where Rayman, despite being the title character, only appears for a fraction of a second, only to be squashed flat by a couch taken over by the bunnies, and became evident in Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, in which case Rayman disguises himself as a Rabbid, causing the game to put more emphasis on them than on Rayman himself. Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party was considered further evidence, as Rayman, who is no longer playable, only appears in the game's cutscenes. This was then proven to be true with the announcement of Rabbids Go Home, which does not feature Rayman at all.
