Rayman Raving Rabbids (Nintendo DS)

Rayman Raving Rabbids for the DS is a full 2.5D platformer with the occasional minigame thrown in for good measure. It's a very strange game, especially since, like the GBA version, it wasn't originally meant to be a Rabbids game.

Unused Music#

The game's data has an entire unused soundtrack. Some instruments are missing, but they can be restored using those of the N64 version of Rayman 2. Watch on YouTube

Unused Levels#

Intro#

This stage depicts a sunny beach, which is very similar to the tutorial level in the final version.

Outro#

A very dark and gloomy stage most likely meant for the cut early ending.

Unused Text#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Does the unused text also include the text in brackets and parentheses? Text marked in "pre" is supposed to be ripped as-is with no alterations, corrections, or additions.

Interestingly, the files contain an early script that has a different story from the final version, with references to a scrapped hub world, "The Road of Doors", and cut characters such as JJ and Dark Rayman.

 [INTRO]

- Gather as many as you can. That way, at least there'll be a few they won't be able to get their hands on! I'm going to go find out how the rabbits transfer the Lums. I'll find you as soon as I have more information!
- Gnngngngn.
- The meteorite certainly has a difficult time expressing itself!
- It's not a meteorite, Globox. The world of Lebahr is our world's opposite twin and, together they make up the balance of the Universe. If one of the two worlds is out of balance with the other one, both worlds would melt into one. And it would mean the end of the Universe as we know it. It is essential that we stop that from happening, Rayman!
- No way! I'm on vacation! So, why don't you send JJ to deal with your parallel Universe problem?
- Your friend JJ is stuck in the parallel world. I was thrown out by some sort of malevolent force and I must return to restore the Universe's balance. When I find JJ I'll send him back to your world... As for you, Rayman, you must find the three other meteorites - um, I mean, three other guardians: Vanfrey, Hodmer and Fayer. And don't waste time - the future of the entire Universe is in your hands.

Until the next time!
