This page details bugs of Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance).

Crashing on the Level Select#

Pressing and holding A+B on the level select crashes the game or sometimes teleports you to World 4. The reasons for this can be seen here. This bug works on all versions.

Graphics Corruption#

Watch on YouTubeAn infamous bug that happens in the level Filthy Corridors that causes the graphics to completely corrupt if you kill the Rabbid Robot with Funky Rayman. The reason this happens is, the game tries to load the Puff smoke death animation that is commonly used throughout the game using variables that are just, uninitialized causing it to read from garbage data instead. In the EU version, this code for the smoke death animation was simply removed.

Accessing the Dummy Level#

Watch on YouTubePressing A and then quickly any D-Pad direction while standing on a kart racer level lets you access the dummy levels.

Top of the Forest#

Watch on YouTubeHolding A while bouncing on a spring repeatedly can give you more height, letting you escape the level rather easily. This bug works on all versions.

OOB Memory Corruption#

Watch on YouTubeThe game remembers the last transformation you selected for quick access. However, this persists even on different save files, meaning if you select a transformation that you have not unlocked yet on the first save, exit that save, select save two and press R, you can now use that transformation. Since this isn't supposed to happen, you can now access OOB memory, which usually makes you change into enemies in the level with a black palate, corrupted sprites, corrupted backgrounds and more. Sometimes, you can even see unused sprites! This also causes the game to crash very frequently.

Watch on YouTubeEntering and exiting the save screen 120 times causes the game to crash. This is due to the menus being called recursively, eventually causing a stack overflow.

Costumes in the hub world#

Watch on YouTubeWhile holding the R button, hover over a costume, press start and exit the level. Press B to enter the hub world and you'll be changed into the costume you hovered over. This briefly corrupts the graphics and trying to enter any world locks up Rayman until you press up on the D-pad again.
