==Plot==
==Plot==
[[Rayman]] and a few [[Baby Globox]]es are having a picnic in a forest when three [[Rabbid]]s erupt from the ground, capturing the [[Baby Globox]]es. [[Rayman]] tries to offer them food, but then [[Serguei]] comes and grabs [[Rayman]]. The [[Rabbid]]s take [[Rayman]] and the [[Baby Globox]]es to their colosseum and keep them in jail cells.

In order to escape, [[Rayman]] must collect [[plunger]]s to build a ladder up to the window so he can jump out. He does this by taking part in trials to entertain the [[Rabbid]]s. After completing at least 3 of the four daily trials, the final challenge will unlock. Finishing that will reward [[Rayman]] with a [[plunger]] after which he is taken back to his jail cell to get some rest for the next day's lot of trials. As the days pass, [[Rayman|Rayman's]] cell is decorated to look nicer. In the cell he is able to play music, change [[Skin|costumes]] and replay previous challenges. If all four challenges are finished in one day he is rewarded with more [[Skin|costumes]] and songs. After every day, he goes to the ladder of [[plunger]]s, looking at the window hoping to escape, but a [[bird]] always comes and poops on him. After fifteen days, [[Rayman]] finally collects enough [[plunger]]s and escapes, getting his revenge on the annoying bird on the way. Back at the forest, [[Rayman]] sees sheep eating the remains of the picnic and remembers he forgot the [[Baby Globox]]es. He tries to go back through a hole in which they were captured through but ends up stuck.

==Characters==
==Characters==
[[Rayman]] and the [[Rabbid]]s are the main stars of this game. Also included are the [[Baby Globox]]es, the only returning characters, the [[Rabbid]]s henchmen, strange creatures that look like a cross between rhinos and elephants and some animals, who only serve as fillers.

Also included are the [[baby Globox]]es, the only returning characters besides [[Rayman]], the [[Rabbid]]s henchmen, strange creatures that look like a cross between rhinos and elephants and some animals, who only serve as fillers.
 
===The good guys===
===The good guys===
*[[Rayman]] - [[Rayman]] was taken by surprise by this invasion from within. What do the [[Rabbid]]s intend to do? It's hard to say.
*[[Rayman]] - The hero of [[the Glade of Dreams]] that must complete challenges while being in captive of the [[Rabbid]]s.
But now they're everywhere and their atypical psyches make them formidable and unpredictable opponents.
*[[Baby Globox]]es - The [[baby Globox]]es, children of [[Globox]], were captured by the [[Rabbid]]s along with [[Rayman]] while on a picnic.
*[[Baby Globox]]es - The [[Baby Globox]]es wee captured by the [[Rabbid]]s while on a picnic and it's now up to [[Rayman]] to rescue them.


===The [[Rabbid]]s===
===The [[Rabbid]]s===
*[[Pink]] - [[Pink]] is mute and timid. Yet, with just a little patience you can easily learn the basics of his method of communication and understand what he says. For example, "Hey mate!! What's up?" is translated, in his language, by firing a heat-seaking missile. (It is true that, long term, you could say that all he really knows how to say is "Hey mate!! What's up?").
*[[Serguei]] - [[Serguei]] is the largest known [[Rabbid]]. He guards [[Rayman]]'s cell and takes him to the [[Rabbid]]s' Colosseum throughout the days.
 
*[[Serguei]] - [[Serguei]] is a softy. Out of pure coquetry, he wears a delightful, finely worked metal muzzle. His joie de vivre and his strong sense of repartee make him a very pleasant companion. He's always ready to keep things light and lively with little tricks, such as grinding phalanxes, switching your clavicles, or even playing "this little piggy" with your toes.


*[[Professor Barranco]] - [[Professor Barranco]] is a scientist. He is currently writing a very complex thesis on thermodynamics and the resistance of certain materials. For the moment, he is accumulating certain certain experimental data, firstly, on their resistance of cranial bones to the impact of a bludgeon, and secondly, the resistance to high temperatures generated by the explosion of booby-trapped gifts.
*[[Professor Barranco]] - [[Professor Barranco]] is a scientist that has apparently suffered through many injuries, mostly to his face and head. He appears in several of the minigames [[Rayman]] participates in.


*[[The frog-rabbids]] - [[The frog-rabbids]] are part of the elite commando team. They are formidable combatants. They are systematically sent out on the most dangerous missions, such as assaults on carrot juice bars, infiltrating a popular chorus or even maintaining the peace in front of the toilets.
*[[The frog-rabbids]] - [[The frog-rabbids]] appear in the minigame [[Bunnies Are Addicted To Carrot Juice]].


*[[Clark (Rabbid)|Clark]] - [[Clark (Rabbid)|Clark]] is not a [[Rabbid]] like the others. His Super-powers enable him to accomplish feats that gain him respect and admiration from everyone. He is the inventor and the undisputed champion of a new kind of biathlon (the consecutive combo: '''D'''escending '''F'''light + '''V'''ertical '''S'''ubterranean '''R'''ace). His personal record: 2300 '''DF''' + 47cm '''VSR'''
*[[Clark (Rabbid)|Clark]] - Clark is a regular [[Rabbid]] that's dressed up to make himself look like Superman. Like [[Professor Barranco]], he appears in several of the minigames [[Rayman]] participates in.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Each day [[Rayman]] has to move around the stadium and complete at least three out of the four minigames for that day, which always contains a "Shake your booty" type game. Each day there are new minigames to play. Once three of the four games are completed, [[Rayman]] can go and complete the last challenge. The challenge is either a plunger shooting game or a warthog racing game. Once the challenge is completed, [[Rayman]] earns a [[plunger]] and goes back to his cell. He uses the plunger to build a ladder and escape out the window of his cell.

Plot

Rayman and a few baby Globoxes are having a picnic in a forest when three Rabbids erupt from the ground, capturing the baby Globoxes. Rayman tries to offer them food, but then Serguei comes and grabs Rayman. The Rabbids take Rayman and the baby Globoxes to their Colosseum and keep them in jail cells.

In order to escape, Rayman must collect plungers to build a ladder up to the window so he can jump out. He does this by taking part in trials to entertain the Rabbids. After completing at least 3 of the four daily trials, the final challenge will unlock. Finishing that will reward Rayman with a plunger after which he is taken back to his jail cell to get some rest for the next day's lot of trials. As the days pass, Rayman's cell is decorated to look nicer. In the cell he is able to play music, change costumes and replay previous challenges. If all four challenges are finished in one day he is rewarded with more costumes and songs. After every day, he goes to the ladder of plungers, looking at the window hoping to escape, but a bird always comes and poops on him. After fifteen days, Rayman finally collects enough plungers and escapes, getting his revenge on the annoying bird on the way. Back at the forest, Rayman sees sheep eating the remains of the picnic and remembers he forgot the baby Globoxes. He tries to go back through a hole in which they were captured through but ends up stuck.

Characters

Rayman and the Rabbids are the main characters in the game. Also included are the baby Globoxes, the only returning characters besides Rayman, the Rabbids henchmen, strange creatures that look like a cross between rhinos and elephants and some animals, who only serve as fillers.

A total of five of these are to be played each day Rayman is prisoner at the Colosseum, though at least three out of four must be passed before moving onto the boss challenge which is usually a warthog race or a bunny hunt.

Internet connection

At the end of each minigame in score mode, there is an internet code for the player to submit their game score on the now defunct RaymanZone website.

After the release of Rayman Legends, RaymanZone now redirects to the official Ubisoft website.
