'''''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc''''' is the third major game in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], and the sequel to ''[[Rayman 2]]''. ''Rayman 3'' was released in 2003. It is notable for being the first [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]] not directed by series creator [[Michel Ancel]], who was occupied with the development of ''[[Beyond Good and Evil|Beyond Good & Evil]]'' at the time. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] played a small role in the development of ''Rayman 3'', assisting the team in various areas (such as [[Rayman]]'s new look) and meeting with them to brainstorm ideas for characters and environments.

''Rayman 3'' features [[Rayman 3 scoring system|a points-based scoring system]]; a first for [[Rayman (series)|the series]]. Players could post their final scores on the then-new [[RaymanZone]] website. However, this function was disabled when [[RaymanZone]] was retooled to suit [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the ''Raving Rabbids'' games]].

Like [[Rayman 2|its immediate predecessor]], ''Rayman 3'' is a 3D platformer. However, ''Rayman 3's'' levels are more straightfoward and oriented towards action and combat rather than platforming and exploration. The main campaign of ''Rayman 3'' is temporally linear – unlike the previous games, where [[Rayman]] could physically return to completed locations, each ''Rayman 3'' level is visited only once within the storyline.

[[Rayman]] has all of his usual powers for almost the entire game. He can [[Running|run]], use his [[helicopter]] hair and shoot his [[telescopic fist]] (when he regains his hands in [[the Fairy Council]]). The [[telescopic fist]] makes a return after being replaced by the [[magic fist]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. [[Rayman]] can fully charge his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] to induce more damage, and can curve his shot.

A new addition to the game is the [[Laser-Washing Powder]] cans. They are referred to in-game as 'combat fatigues.' There are 5 of them, and each enhances certain powers of [[Rayman]] and gives him a new look. The cans' effects are temporary, and time limit varies depending on which can is being used.

The main enemies in the game are the [[Hoodlum]]s. They differ in [[Resistance|health]] and attacks. A stark difference from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is the increased reliance and more distinct style of combat for each [[Hoodlum]] [[Rayman]] encounters.
