Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Windows)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Windows).

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

A prototype of the PlayStation 2 version was released on February 17, 2024. It predated the release of the final PS2 version by 1 month and 22 days.

Despite not being from the "Rayman 4" era, it still has some minor differences throughout.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Look around the files. A lot of Rayman 4 leftovers are present, though they're not viewable in the Jade editor.

General Differences#

The Ubisoft logo and Ubisoft Montpellier screen are not present. The game boots directly to the title screen.
Despite being in the files, loading screens are not shown.
The title screen does not have characters on it.
There are controller icons on the title screen that were removed.
The attract movie does not exist yet.
The intro, ending and post-credits cutscenes do not have audio.
The 16:9 cropped mode from the Xbox 360 version is present as an option, but with a stretched HUD (and most text), with no minigames in proper widescreen. A notable offender of this is Bunnies Are A-Mazing. This may explain its removal from the PS2 version.
Entering score mode doesn't require playing story mode, but all minigames are locked.
Several challenges are in the wrong spot on the menu.
The minigame won, minigame failed and broken record screens have a different font.
The bonus videos are unobtainable. Even if they are obtained, the videos are not shown.
The bonus videos are just named "Bonus (number)" instead of having unique names.
The credits have a blue background, no music, and no Rabbids in the background.

Gameplay Differences#

In the coliseum, Rayman's movement is slower.
The day 5 animations for the Rabbids in the coliseum are more...erratic.
In Rayman's cell, the cutscene for entering Replay Mode does not have the "dream entering" sound effect.
The cutscenes of Rayman and the bird, including Rayman escaping his cell, use the same audio as the first scene.
Some minigames were re-ordered. The order changes are bolded below:

Minigames#

To do:
Basically everything else.

Bunnies Don't Give Gifts#

The rules for the controls are different. The controls are actually the same as the final, meaning this is leftover from an earlier build.

Prototype	Final
Press L2 and R2 as quickly as possible to run.	Move the right and left [stick] up and down one after the other as fast as possible to run.

Occasionally, the audio for the ending cutscene may not play as a bug.

The main score requirement is 300 points instead of 200.
The drawings are the more complicated versions from Wii instead of the more simple versions from PS2/Xbox 360/PC. This carries over to part 2.

Rayman's dances when winning are different, being unique instead of the generic victory dance. The music stings are shorter as well.
The green thumbs up actually plays a sound effect in the beta, unlike the final.

Bunnies Are Slow To React#

The main rules are different.

Prototype	Final
Get the ball to the end of the course in less than 0'30"00.	Get the ball to the end of the course in less than 0'28"00.

Bunnies Dansa La Bamba#

The area the minigame takes place in is the same as Bunnies Are Fantastic Dancers, Bunnies Love Disco Dancing, Bunnies Just Wanna Have Fun and Bunnies Are Raving Mad instead of being original. This carries over to part 2.

Bunnies Only Fly Downwards#

The minigame was originally called "Bunnies Only Fly Downward".

Unused Videos#

Bizarrely, in the files are the three PSAs done in partnership with UNICEF, but they seem to be rough cuts with minor changes.
