'''Continuity issue'''

The plot of this version of the game follows the original storyline to a very degree, being almost unrecognisable in its events. For this reason, it cannot be considered a retelling of the Rayman 3 story on the handheld. For this reason (as stated above) it is either a prequel to the mainstream Rayman 3 or an alternative continuity.

* The game could take place between Rayman 2 and Hoodlum Havoc as the characters of the latter appear to have prior knowledge of Black Lums, as none ever request an explaination as to what they are or where they come from, suggesting perhaps that this is not their first encounter with them. As Black Lums are never mentioned in Rayman 2, is it possible that their introduction to the storyline took place in the gap between the two games.

* Further to the above point, it is never explicitly stated what happens to the Hoodlum army at the end of the handheld Rayman 3, making it more than possible for them to still be around in Hoodlum Havoc.

* Andre's appearance in the handheld game is highly debatable. Nowhere in the game or its instriction manuel is he referred to, the Black Lum that Globox swallows is never named as anything more than an average Black Lum. For this reason it is fair to say that Andre does not appear in the handheld version, which explains why no one has prior knowledge of him (that they reveal) in Hoodlum Havoc.

* However, if the game truely does take place between Rayman 2 and 3, it is forgivable to question why the characters never reference the events of this game, particually since Globox swallows a Black Lum in both storylines but in Hoodlum Havoc everyone behaves as if this is the first time he has done such a thing.

* At the begining of the level "Swamps of Begonix" on GBA, Rayman explicitly shows knowledge of the character Begonix "Do you think [Globox] might have gone to Begonix's marshes?", however, Rayman and Begonix show no obvious recognition of each other in Hoodlum Havoc, and there is no reason to suspect that they have ever had any interaction in the past. Begonix certainly does not know Rayman, simply referring to him as "that pervert".
