Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS): Difference between revisions

'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)''''' is the Nintendo DS version of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. Unlike both the console versions and [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]], this game uses 3D graphics but plays as a sidescroller throughout the majority of the game. Like the console version there are several minigames which have to be completed to progress.

The game takes usage of the ''[[Rayman 2]]'' engine, and several elements are holdovers from [[Rayman DS|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman 2'']], including the menu fonts, [[Rayman]]'s model, sounds, textures and animations.

[[Rayman]]'s only chance at freedom is to face [[Sergueï|Rabble Droid]]. But to do that, he must win enough [[Trophy|trophies]] and fight other champions!

===Side-scrolling===

Each normal level starts off with a side-scrolling segment which has normal platforming elements, such as moving platforms and gaps to jump over, as well as enemies to defeat. [[Rayman]] has a similar move set as in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' with the ability to jump and shoot and later learn other abilities such as swimming and swinging off of [[Purple Lum]]s. New powers are obtained by finding a gift, a wrapped present which usually requires finding [[switch]]es to release. The game has a total of seven powers, four of which are new [[Skin|costumes]]. The [[Skin|costumes]] are represented by a certain color and element, each having its own unique powers. They are put to use when [[Rayman]] stands on a stone (akin to a [[Stone of Thought]]) with a symbol that represents a costume that is needed for that situation. These are the following:

[[Rayman]]'s primary attack is throwing his [[Telescopic fist|fist]]. By collecting [[Yellow Lum]]s he is however able to throw them instead to deal twice as much damage and reach further with his attacks. Some enemies can only be defeated using [[Yellow Lum]]s. [[Yellow Lum]]s can be found freely in levels, in bags (which contain five of them) and in boxes (which contains three bags once shoot at). Some enemies can be attacked to reveal more [[Yellow Lum]]s. Some levels also have stones with [[Red Lum]]s where [[Rayman]] can trade in five [[Yellow Lum]]s to gain more health. By defeating enemies they will drop [[star item]]s which will raise a special star bar. Once full, the maximum health will increase slightly and the player will level up. Once the maximum level is reached the star bar disappears, although [[star item]]s can still be collected. [[Green Lum]]s can also be found which act like checkpoints.

* '''[[Swimming|Swim]]:''' Allows [[Rayman]] to [[Swimming|swim]] under water. Unlike ''[[Rayman 2]]'' there is no air meter while under water.

===Minigames===

After most levels the player has to play a short minigame which will then become available from the main menu. Each minigame tasks the player with earning a certain number of points to pass. the minigames require the usage of the stylus on the touchscreen. These are the following minigame styles available:

===Challenges===

After each minigame the player is put into a trophy challenge. These levels are side-scrollers, although have [[Rayman]] [[running]] automatically. The player has to use the stylus to guide [[Rayman]] through the level by moving obstacles and killing enemies. In the challenges, the player can freely swap between each of the unlocked costumes which each grant a special new ability with the styles. These are the following:

===[[Rayman Gear]]===

In the final area of the game there is one path in each of the three levels which contains a [[Rayman Gear]] part. Collecting all three will finish the [[Rayman Gear]] robot which is then used in special challenge stages which appear in new paths in previous levels. These challenges has [[Rayman]] automatically flying a robot with the player being able to use the stylus for certain commands. They can touch on any point of the screen to fire using the machine gun. Touching directly on an enemy will fire a missile towards him. The robot can hold a total number of ten missiles at once. Drawing a line between the robot and an object or enemy will throw out a hook, equipped with a [[plunger]]. This is used to pull off certain shields, drag in enemies or attach to [[Clark (Rabbid)|Clark]] the Superbunny to fly faster. The player can reel in certain objects by turning with the stylus on the robot. The robot also comes with a shield which can be activated to by holding down on it. The shield protects against attacks, but slows it down.

Each [[Rayman Gear]] challenge has [[Rayman]] facing the [[Rabbid Fish Creature]] which will appear on the corner of the screen during several points. The player has to attach the hook to him and reel him in to be able to shoot his week points. Only one week point can be shoot at a time before he escapes for a while. If the player misses him to many times a one minute timer will appear until the player fails the stage and has to try again. The [[Rabbid Fish Creature]] has takes three hits before defeated in all challenges except the final one where he takes four. The stage ends when he has been defeated.
