History VideoGame / RavingRabbids

* MissingSecret: The first game's DownerEnding put off many people, but there's a rumor that there's a hidden, happier ending by getting HundredPercentCompletion on every minigame. Sadly, there's a glitch in one of the dance mini-games which prevents said completion, but it's been proven that this 'secret ending' is nonexistent after all. It ''is'' possible to get HundredPercentCompletion, but then you'll have to be really patient if you're going to beat the bug.

* SodaCandySplosion: There's a Commercial Microgame 'TV Party'' where a Rabbid drinks an entire bottle of cola. To win the microgame, the player has to toss a piece of mentos into the Rabbid's mouth to which he accidentally swallows, and all the cola bursts out of him like a geyser.

At [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3 2017]] it was announced that the series was having a crossover game with ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''. Unlike the other ''Raving Rabbid'' games, ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' is a tactical adventure game.

** The graphic novels by French writers Thitaume and Pujol probaly has the greatest amount of fourth wall breaks by the Rabbids. A notable example is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QdaIyFmjk0 official teaser]] for the first volume of the comic.

''Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party'' is the third game in the series. In this game, Rayman is for the first time only present in the cutscenes and is not a playable character, further pushing the Rabbids series away from its roots. The game begins with Rayman running away from a mob of Rabbids and hiding in a nearby house. Lightning strikes the Rabbids outside, mysteriously trapping them inside of the TV of the house Rayman takes refuge in. The TV remains constantly powered up and works even if it is unplugged, and the cutscenes of the game consist of Rayman attempting to destroy or get rid of the TV. The gameplay itself is set [[TrappedInTVLand inside the television]] as the Rabbids participate in various minigames themed after the different [[LawyerFriendlyCameo TV channels and programs]]. The further the game progresses, the more frustrated Rayman becomes by the constant noise and distraction of the TV and attempts to get rid of it in several different ways, causing gradual damage to the television and the screen to crack further and further. By the end, Rayman becomes angry enough to take off his shoe([[FloatingLimbs and his foot, incidentally]]) and throw it at the TV, which finally breaks, releasing the Rabbids inside and causing the chase from the beginning of the game to start all over again.

{{Creator/Nickelodeon}} obtained the rights to making an animated series about the creatures and co-produced it alongside Ubisoft. The show, ''WesternAnimation/RabbidsInvasion'', began airing in July 2013. A full-length movie under Sony and {{Creator/Ubisoft}} was announced in 2014.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: A plethora of them in ''TV Party'': [[Series/{{MASH}} B.R.U.S.H]], [[Franchise/StarWars Star Worse]], [[Film/DawnOfTheDead1978 Dawn of the Rabbids]], need we go on?

* MissingSecret: The first game's DownerEnding put off many people, but there's a rumor that there's a hidden, happier ending by getting [[{{HundredPercentCompletion}} 100% Completion]] on every minigame. Sadly, there's a glitch in one of the dance mini-games which prevents said completion, but it's been proven that this 'secret ending' is nonexistent after all. It ''is'' possible to get OneHundredPercentCompletion, but then you'll have to be really patient if you're going to beat the bug.

** The title screen in Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party has a 2D animated Rabbid that appears to be messing with your television by playing with the volume, brightness and screen calibration.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In "TV Party", your progression is represented by cracks on your TV screen.
** Inverted in an advert mini-game in "TV Party": You can slap a Rabbid in the face, and the bunny will have the buttons of the Wii remote imprinted on his cheek.

* TopHeavyGuy: The wrestlers in "TV Party" have huge upper bodies with [[JigglePhysics jiggling bellies]], yet have rather skinny legs and feet.
* TrappedInTVLand: In "TV Party".

* UnwinnableByMistake:

* SuddenlyVoiced:

** Most of the rhythm-based mini-games from the first three party games will often have the Rabbids "singing" covers to famous songs in clear, understandable english. Though they could easily be lip syncing since a lot of the song's vocals differ from one another, and sound nothing like the Rabbids' actual voices.

* SuddenDownerEnding: The first game ends with Rayman successfully escaping the Rabbids' prison. While savouring his newfound freedom however, he comes across the area where he and the baby Globoxes were having their picnic, and suddenly realises he forgot to save most of them. Rayman then attempts to go back through one of the holes made by the Rabbids, only to get stuck.

* UnwinnableByMistake: In the Score Mode of the first game, you can get up to 1000 points on each minigame based on how well you perform. These points accumulate over time and unlock extras such as videos and minigame tournaments. Some of the minigames have perfect score requirements that are higher than is physically possible to earn, even if you achieve a perfect score. For instance, in "Bunnies dansa la Bamba," you can only earn 995 of the 1000 possible points with a perfect score. As such, it is impossible to reach the full 183,000 points and get 100% without hacking.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In early games, the rabbids were evil, AxCrazy, TooDumbToLive, and they just messed with Rayman to entertain them. In later works (especially in ''VideoGame/RabbidsGoHome'' and ''WesternAnimation/RabbidsInvasion''), they're still TooDumbToLive, but more in the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} sense. They also don't wreak havoc with malicious intent; [[ChaoticStupid they just do what they feel like doing]], and while they're still a bit aggressive, it's less prominent and they seem a lot calmer. Their talent for dancing has been toned down since their first spin-off game.

* NoEnding: The plot of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids 2'' is about Rayman masquerading as a Rabbid in order to stop their invasion of the real world from the inside, but that's as far as the story goes. There is no conclusion to that plotline, not even an ending cutscene. The sequel ''TV Party'' begins with Rayman running away from a group of Rabbids, implying that he failed, but there is no more explanation than that. The next game in the series, ''Rabbids Go Home'', exorcises Rayman and his world entirely, and with ''Rayman Origins'' and ''Legends'' making no mention of the lagomorphs either[[note]]Early trailers for ''Rayman Legends'' shows an unused NFC feature that would have included the Rabbids[[/note]], the plot line seems to have been dropped entirely.

* GeniusDitz: The Rabbids suck at almost everything except dancing.
** The opening cutscene of Rabbids Rumble shows many of the Rabbid character you can catch/collect [[NoFourthWall shomehow managing to escape the game's cartridge]].

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: A plethora of them in TV Party: [[Series/{{MASH}} B.R.U.S.H]], [[Franchise/StarWars Star Worse]], [[Film/DawnOfTheDead1978 Dawn of the Rabbids]], need we go on?

* PaperThinDisguise: Rayman in Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, by putting socks over his hair and inhaling helium to look and sound like a Rabbid.

* SuddenlyVoiced: The Rabbids usually don't speak anything other than nonsensical gibberish, but can be heard saying "Aaaand Action!" during the mini-game "Bunnies are Oversensitive" , as well as in the[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vuk7sopu26o Rayman Raving Rabbids Making Of]] videos.
