'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids''''' is the first video game in the [[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids spin-off series]]. It was released for the Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 2 and PC in 2006, followed by a port for Microsoft Xbox 360 in 2007. It is followed by ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'' in 2007, ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party]]'' in 2008, ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'' in 2009 and ''[[Raving Rabbids Travel in Time]]'' in 2010. In 2010 this game was bundled with the next two games in the series in the ''[[Raving Rabbids: Party Collection]]'' for the Wii.

[[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.

[[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.

*[[Rayman]] - [[Rayman]] was taken by surprise by this invasion from within. What do the [[Rabbid]]s intend to do? It's hard to say.

But now they're everywhere and their atypical psyches make them formidable and unpredictable opponents.

*[[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.

*[[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 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.

*[[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.

*[[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'''

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.

In total, there are 75 minigames, including second and third parts. 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. In Score Mode, each minigame is worth up to 1,000 points, and score mode total is 183000 points. These points can be used to unlock secret goodies in the Bonus menu.

In the 75 minigames of the game, the player can reach 75000 points. He/She can also unlock challenges, which consists of Triathlons, Pentathlons and Decathlons. Triathlons contain 3 minigames, worth 3000 points, Pentathlons contain 5 minigames worth 5000 points and Decathlons contain 10 minigames worth 10000 points. In order to gain max score, the player must perfectly complete every minigame in the series, one after another, howewer there is no chance of replaying an already completed minigame. The other 108000 points are obtained here in the challenges and though co-op and versus multiplayer Bunny Hunts. There are several challenges where it isn't possible to collect maximum score while another player is in game.

===Bunny Hunts===

The Bunny Hunts are first person shooter style game in which Rayman, armed with a [[plunger]] gun, has to shoot any Rabbids that he sees and free the Baby Globox they have trapped, without losing all of his health, which can be depleted if either a Rabbid gets too close to him, he gets shot with a plunger, or is attacked by rockets or carrot juice coming from the robots. The plunger gun can carry up to five plungers, and if they are all used, he will have to reload.  Rayman is also armed with a grapple chain, which he can use to either ward off plunger attacks or grab a Rabbid that is close and toss it at other Rabbids, earning a Multiple score.

Rayman can get extra points by doing specific shots:

* Good shot - shooting the third Rabbid without reloading - 300 points

* Great shot - shooting the fourth Rabbid without reloading - 400 points

* Perfect shot - shooting the fifth Rabbid without reloading - 500 points

* Bullseye - shooting a Rabbid which is far away

Several other objects can be shot with plungers, such as radios and bells, which often distract the Rabbids into dancing, and are present in each level once.  There are also several boxes which Rayman can break in order to gain power ups or power downs. These are:

* Extra lives - as the name says, it gives Rayman 3 extra lives.

* Rapid shot - it gives Rayman the ability to shoot 3 plungers rapidly after each other for a short time. It also automatically reloads when the 3 plungers have been shot, except if the player instantly shoots another plunger.

* 5X shot - it gives Rayman the ability to shoot all plungers at once for a short time. Needs instant reload after the plungers have been shot.

* Broken Plungers - This power down breaks all plungers for a short time.

With the exception of [[Bunnies Only Fly Downwards]], these minigames are races in which Rayman and some other Rabbids and trolls ride on warthogs. The aim is to complete three laps as quickly as possible.

At the end of each minigame in Score Mode, there is an internet code for the player to submit their game score on www.raymanzone.com. Each code is unique to tell which score is yours on the website listed above. Each minigame page lists the Top 3 players in each minigame. You can try to beat others to have the highest score. With the release of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Raymanzone's ranklist have been removed from the website.

What follows are images released during the development of the game, but after the decision to replace [[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|the original ''Rayman 4'' platformer]] with a collection of minigames was taken.
