Rayman Raving Rabbids is a platforming video game for the Nintendo DS. It was released on March 6th, 2007. Unlike the console versions which are trial-based, it (along with the Game Boy Advance version) is a traditional Rayman platform game.
Gameplay
This game has five worlds: Beach, Jungle, Desert, Factory and Ice. The Beach world is more of a tutorial, and the Ice world only has two levels, each one a boss level. Nearly all the levels are set out like this: Get through the platforming part, beat the minigame and finally the ultimate challenge test. The platforming parts are like most other Rayman games, where you have to follow the path, beating enemies and collecting items. Then there are the minigames. there are nine types of minigames, each one making use of the stylus:
Puzzles: Use the stylus to move the pieces of an image around to get the whole picture.
Cards: Touch the cards with the stylus to turn them over and try to find the matching pairs.
Roulette: Stop the wheel at the right time to make the wheel land on the same symbol as the one displayed on the lower screen.
Beat Rabbids: Touch the Rabbids with the stylus before they smile.
Catch Food: Catch food with the stylus and give it to the Rabbids.
Push Back Mines: Touch the mines before they reach the ground.
Avoid Rocks: Collect stars and avoid contact with rocks.
Avoid Crash: Elevate the stylus with the spaceship to keep it from crashing.
Avoid Ghosts: Avoid contact with ghosts.
The final challenge of each level is usually a game where Rayman is running forward of his own accord. Using your costumes of Earth, Fire, Ice and Wind, you must interact with obstacles to help Rayman get through alive. On your way, you must collect all the trophies of that level in one go. There are 100 trophies in the entire game.
Also, there are three Ray Gear challenges in which you must avoid enemies fire and destroy the giant Fish Creature.
After you unlock each costume or the Ray Gear, you must pass a tutorial to get used to its controls.
