The game begins with [[Rayman]], having travelled using a [[shell]], arriving at the [[Space Opera Network]], holding a golden ticket decorated with phonograph horns. He soon encounters a [[Rabbid]] wearing a cloak and a skull mask called a [[Stooge]], and then exclaims that he knew that the invitation was fishy, and that a [[Rabbid]] was behind it. Upon defeating it and other enemies, he exits the [[Space Opera Network#Repository]] and enters the [[Space Opera Network#Network Reception]].

Upon defeating it and other enemies, he exits the [[Repository]] and enters the [[Network Reception]].

There, he comes across [[Rabbid Mario]], [[Rabbid Peach]] and [[Beep-0]] at the reception, where they seem to be in the process of checking in. [[Rabbid Peach]] aims her Triple-Troll weapon at [[Rayman]] while [[Rabbid Mario]] greets him with a handshake, but the latter falls unconscious when [[Rayman]]'s hand is pulled from his body. [[Rabbid Peach]] then thoroughly observes [[Rayman]]'s absence of arms and legs, leading him to push her aside. [[Beep-0]] then intervenes, assuring [[Rayman]], whom he calls "Mr. Eggplant", that they are not "run-off-the-mill [[Rabbids]]", but heroes. Before they can discuss the situation further, they are ambushed by [[Goomba]]s and [[Stooge]]s, and join forces against them.

It quickly turns out, however, that all three sets are overrun with creatures of [[Darkmess]]. In [[the Western Set]], where the [[Phantom]] is shooting a movie titled ''The Ballad of Plungerhands McMurdy'', the heroes are tasked with punching wood cutouts of bandits, after which they must defeat their leader, "Iron Hands" Sydney Raddidwhacker. In [[the Medieval Set]], where the ''The Double Marriage of the Careless Shepherdess'' is being shot, they are pit against a live action dragon played by a giant [[Flamin' Stooge]]. Finally, in [[the Pirate Set]], where the [[Phantom]] is shooting ''Captain Opera-Beard and the Bumbling Brigands of Toilet Water Bay'', the heroes must fight a [[Sea Stooge]] and defeat a kraken.

Once all three tasks have been completed, the [[Phantom]] congratulates them and asks the team to join him by the elevator in the [[Space Opera Network#Main TV Studio|Main TV Studio]]. [[Rayman]] shows wariness, but they nonetheless ascend to the [[Space Opera Network#Control Room|Control Room]], where the [[Phantom]] reveals his duplicity, explaining that he had been plotting his revenge the entire time and only manipulated the heroes into ridding the [[Space Opera Network]] of [[Darkmess]]. With the help of his newfound fame, as the studio is now number one in the galaxy, he intends to defeat the heroes as part of one last performance. Breaking the fourth wall, he notably taunts [[Rayman]] for having become irrelevant and fallen second to the [[Rabbid]]s.

In battles reminiscent of when he was first encountered, the team eventually defeats the [[Phantom]], destroying the spotlights that provide him with immunity. [[Beep-0]] claims that he was never fooled by their old enemy's promises, but this is quickly dismissed by [[Rabbid Mario]] who reminds him that he has already fallen for it once. [[Rayman]] then exclaims that it was nice to fight alongside [[Rabbid]]s for once.

Having found a functioning warp portal, [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]] decide to head back to Princess Peach's castle, having not found the actor career much to their liking, while [[Rayman]] chooses to stay for some time, explaining that the [[Rabbid]]s here at the [[Space Opera Network|studio]] are actually trying to do some good and simply need some supervision.

[[Beep-0]] then goes on to thank [[Rayman]], promising him that he can count on them, should he need anything. Finally, the game ends with [[Rabbid Mario]] hugging [[Rayman]] and [[Rabbid Peach]] exchanging presents with him.
