'''''Rayman 3 (GBA)''''' is a portable version of the [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|console game of the same name]] which was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. It is the first handheld Rayman game to feature multi-player modes which made use of the Game Boy Advance/GameCube link cable, to link to the GameCube version. It is a 2D side-scrolling game with elements from ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', and ''Rayman 3'', though it is mostly centered around the story of Rayman 2. It is thought to have been originally developed as a GBA version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', and that its [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]] elements were added late in its development so that it could be marketed as a GBA version of Rayman 3. There are also versions of this game for some mobile phones, and it was ported to the Nokia N-Gage. It had not received the "Hoodlum Havoc" subtitle due to [[Hoodlum]]s only being present as enemies in two levels of the game (Hoodlum Hideout and Wretched Ruins).

==Plot==
The game begins as [[Rayman]] rebukes [[Globox]] for swallowing a [[Dark Lum]] while he was trying to save the [[Teensie]]s.  As Rayman is about to go and find a way to cure him, Globox runs away, and leaves him worried that he'll end up doing something stupid.  Meanwhile, [[Razorbeard]] hears about this incident and becomes hellbent on catching Globox to extract the Dark Lum, so he can use it for his own gain of power, while hoping to destroy Rayman again with the [[Grolgoth]].

==GameCube Link==
==GameCube Link==
Players which have both Rayman 3 on the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo GameCube can link the two games together using the special Game Boy Advance/GameCube link cable. Both of these have content only playable through this method. On the GameCube, there are unlockable minigames where [[Rayman]] is driving Kart and [[Globox]] is building Rayman's path. There is a second minigame similar to this, except two link cables, two Rayman 3 GBA cartridges, and two GameCube controllers are required. This one is basically the same, though there is a second team consisting of [[Reflux]] and [[Gumsi]]. On the Game Boy Advance, when the link is detected (due to data having to be transferred from the GameCube game to play), shorter bonus stages are available to play. A new bonus stage becomes available for every 100 lums collected (out of 1000).
