''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc'' is the third game in the main ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'' series, and is the only one not to be looked over by the series' creator, MichelAncel.
!!''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc'' provides examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer - Begoniax the witch is one to Razoff.
* AmbiguouslyGay - Globox. He ''is'' attracted to the other sex, though (demonstrated in "The Hoodlums get organized", where he wants to meet whoever's behind the intercom.), and he ''does'' have 650 children.
* AllThereInTheManual - Referenced in-game near the beginning, where Murfy actually ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall takes out a manual to the game]]'' and reads from it in order to tell Rayman what to do next. ([[FridgeLogic Yet the real manual for the game doesn't actually say anything that Murfy read.]])
* [[spoiler:AnticlimaxBoss]] - [[spoiler:Andre. He does nothing at all, and you defeat him with one move.]]
* BookEnds - The game begins with Rayman and Globox taking a nap as black lums swarm over the land. The game ends with Rayman and Globox settling down for a nap, during which Rayman's hands wander off to [[StableTimeLoop scare a red lum into becoming Andre.]]
* BottomlessPitRescueService - The Teensie Highways, in which a Teensie in a helicopter is shown to be carrying Globox, who catches Rayman and drops him off at a checkpoint if he falls off. Also, in one particular boss fight, falling off of one of the narrow pathways results in one of the long-necked creatures trapped in the dungeon down below lifting Rayman up and placing him back onto the path.
* BreakingTheFourthWall - Most of the characters stick to the script, but Murfy completely avoids it, and Globox is guilty of it on the occasion too. Examples: "It's only a video game, it's only a video game..." "You were nicer in Rayman 2." "We're gonna be rated PG-13!" "Quit it, the manual says you're my best friend!" "Just 'cause you're on TV doesn't mean you have to show off!"
** The manual breaks the fourth wall too, both by being there in the first place and by what it says.
*** Murfy also says "See you in Rayman 4!" which may also classify as a [[WhatCouldHaveBeen What Could Have Been]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer - All of the doctors.
* ChasingYourTail - The fight with the witch around the cauldron in the Bog of Murk.
* ColossusClimb - The final boss fight does this in one phase.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience - In trailer cinematics and box art, using the power-ups only changes the appearance of Rayman's fists in a way that would be reasonable for the power-up itself (spikes, missile launcher, lockjaw, etc). In-game, however, picking up any power-up will also give Rayman a differently-colored appearance to more easily show to the player which power-up they're currently using. This is [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when Globox scolds Rayman for 'dressing up in silly costumes' in several parts throughout the game.
* CreateYourOwnVillain - [[spoiler: During a nap, Rayman's hands go and scare an innocent [[AppliedPhlebotinum Red Lum]] into [[BigBad André]]]].
* CrosshairAware - Some parts of the fight with Razoff have you looking through Razoff's crosshair while he's trying to shoot at Rayman.
* DeadpanSnarker: Murphy plays this role in the first level.
-->" This manual just blows my mind. It explains that [[CaptainObvious switches trigger mechanisms]]. [[LampshadeHanging Duh]]. [[WhoWritesThisCrap Oh Geez, who's responsible for this garbage?"]]
* DisneyAcidSequence - The interactive transitions between worlds: you skate on colorful beams of light, surrounded by '70s LSD imagery.
* TheDragon - Reflux.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase - The Hoodlum factory area.
* EveryTenThousandPoints - Unlocks bonus {{Mini Game}}s.
* EvilTowerOfOminousness - The Tower of Leptys.
* FateWorseThanDeath - What happens to those that reject Begoniax' love. [[spoiler: Namely, she turns them into toads and then proceed to breed with them until she has a ludicrous amount of tadpoles. That makes you feel sorry for Razoff.]]
* GainaxEnding
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar - There are some very...suggestive...jokes in this game, it's quite surprising that this got an Everyone rating instead of a Teen rating. Also, plum juice acts as alcohol, as mentioned below.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame - Razoff's Mansion in the Bog of Murk.
* HoverBoard - In the Teensie Highways.
* ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin - Plum juice and Globox's reactions to it. Also counts as [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Getting Crap Past the Radar]], since he clearly gets drunk off it.
* InvincibleMinorMinion - The Knaaren.
* KilledOffForReal: In the final boss fight, likely Reflux.
* KnightOfCerebus: Reflux can give off this vibe, being perhaps the only character to have no humorous quirks.
* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid
* LevelUpFillUp - Whenever you fill up a medallion for freeing the Teensies found in six different cages, Rayman's health bar is increased and fully replenished.
* LighterAndSofter - The environments and atmosphere still resemble Rayman 2, but more comedic, and there are still the [[NightmareFuel Zombie Chickens]]...
* MascotMook: The Hoodmongers, medium-sized hoodlums with large hats and large guns.
* MisterSeahorse - It doesn't actually happen, but Globox dreams it. "It was great! [[WackyCravings I craved strawberries!"]]
* MyDadCanBeatUpYourDad - One of several rather entertaining arguments Knaaren can be heard having.
* NewAgeRetroHippie - Roméo Patti, the second Teensie Doctor.
* OffModel - Rayman is horribly off-model in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcN76CTQJIc the USA commercial]]. His torso looks like a flippin' DRESS the way it's shaped, and his eyes look different, especially when he squints his eyes. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfVml9m5hFA Here is a link to an HD upload of it if you want to see the torso better]])
** [[http://www.rayman-fanpage.de/rayman3_neu/grafik_desktop/R3-US.jpg The magazine ad]] (which also involved a pee joke, because Ubisoft's US marketing team seemed to have been obsessed with pee) has a better-looking model, in which only the face is off-model. Other than that, everything else seems to be on-model.
* OneWingedAngel: Reflux during the final boss fight.
* OnlyIdiotsMayPass - Defeating an enemy with a $ symbol over its head causes a reusable power-up to appear somewhere in the general area. Sometimes, however, it is instead a smaller version of one of Rayman's shoes obscured by the power-up's typical glow; unless you'd already gone through the whole thing before, chances are you'd just take it for granted that it's a power-up and run into it. This ends up in a rather interesting, off-to-the-side surprise gameplay sequence, which upon completing will provide you with a '''real''' power-up. Thing is, if you ''are'' paranoid or clever enough to spot the difference without double-checking, you'll still have to fall for it in order to get the real power-up item, which is typically required in order to move on.
* RewardingVandalism - You can break random wooden piggy banks around the levels to find gems or lums. [[FridgeLogic Why someone would leave hundreds of wooden piggy banks filled with their precious belongings lying around in plain sight is another thing entirely...]]
* SequelSnark: Murfy leaves saying that he'll see us in ''Rayman 4''. As of this writing, there has not been a game titled ''Rayman 4'', or, indeed, ''any'' true sequel to ''Rayman 3''.
* ShoutOut - While attempting to open the doors, Globox can be heard calling out "KlaatuBaradaNikto!"
** He spouts off quite a few others if you stick around and listen for long enough. "[[Literature/SnowWhite Mirror, mirror, on the wall...]] nah, that won't work." "[[Film/MaryPoppins Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!]]" and "[[Disney/{{Cinderella}} Bibbidi bobbidi boo!]]" are particularly noteworthy.
*** Another of Globox's lines is '[[CthulhuMythos Cthulhu alech fhtagn!]]', which has some serious mythological implications for Rayman's world...
** And how about the countless references to {{Spider-Man}}, StarWars, and other popular franchises courtesy of Murfy and Globox?
** Razoff, the person that [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunts you in his mansion]], is [[TheMostDangerousGame Zaroff with the R and Z switched.]]
* SuperNotDrowningSkills - Which is kind of a funny progression if you think about it: ''Rayman'' had SuperDrowningSkills, ''Rayman 2'' gave him the ability to swim but the OxygenMeter still made it possible for him to drown, and now in ''Rayman 3'' he doesn't drown at all (in [[CoolClearWater normal water]], anyway).
* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity - If André's constant conversations to Reflux at the end of the Tower of Leptys wasn't enough of a giveaway, the oodles of Red Lums broken out of piggy banks on the way up the staircase ought to have been some kind of indication that Rayman was about to encounter something likely to inflict large amounts of pain.
* ThePowerOfRock - The doctors use this to 'cure' Globox (since André can't stand music).
* ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow - ''Weaponized''. Andre somehow learned something that utterly corrupted him. He captures others and whispers it to them, then lets them whisper it to others, like an intellectual ZombieApocalypse. It'd be horrific if the entire game weren't PlayedForLaughs.
* TooDumbToLive - Globox falls into a trap in Hoodlum Headquarters because he ''mistakes a badly-drawn cardboard cutout of a female Glute in a bikini to be the real thing''.
* TripodTerror - Céloche, the mechanical tripod boss in the Land of the Livid Dead.
* TuxedoAndMartini - Parodied in one of the "Wanna Kick Rayman" videos.
* TwistEnding - [[spoiler: So Rayman actually "created" André in his sleep?]] Holy shit!
** Not [[spoiler: Rayman, Rayman's ''hands'' did it. They apparently have minds of their own.]]
* UnderwaterBossBattle - Céloche in the Land of the Livid Dead.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential - You can punch Globox when he's following you around. This results in some rather entertaining otherwise-unheard quotes by both him and André (while he's inside of Globox).
** There are also turtles in the first level of the game that you can kick around, to which they protest loudly. They reappear in the Land of the Livid Dead, except this time you can pick them up and throw them too.
* VillainOpeningScene
* YellowSnow - The USA commercial is all about this. However, it leaves one to wonder exactly how Rayman's bladder was able to store such a large amount of urine inside it...

His torso looks like a flippin' DRESS the way it's shaped, and his eyes look different, especially when he squints his eyes. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfVml9m5hFA Here is a link to an HD upload of it if you want to see the torso better]])
** [[http://www.rayman-fanpage.de/rayman3_neu/grafik_desktop/R3-US.jpg The magazine ad]] (which also involved a pee joke, because Ubisoft's US marketing team seemed to have been obsessed with pee) has a better-looking model, in which only the face is off-model. Other than that, everything else seems to be on-model.
* OneWingedAngel: Reflux during the final boss fight.
* OnlyIdiotsMayPass - Defeating an enemy with a $ symbol over its head causes a reusable power-up to appear somewhere in the general area. Sometimes, however, it is instead a smaller version of one of Rayman's shoes obscured by the power-up's typical glow; unless you'd already gone through the whole thing before, chances are you'd just take it for granted that it's a power-up and run into it. This ends up in a rather interesting, off-to-the-side surprise gameplay sequence, which upon completing will provide you with a '''real''' power-up. Thing is, if you ''are'' paranoid or clever enough to spot the difference without double-checking, you'll still have to fall for it in order to get the real power-up item, which is typically required in order to move on.
* RewardingVandalism - You can break random wooden piggy banks around the levels to find gems or lums. [[FridgeLogic Why someone would leave hundreds of wooden piggy banks filled with their precious belongings lying around in plain sight is another thing entirely...]]
* SequelSnark: Murfy leaves saying that he'll see us in ''Rayman 4''. As of this writing, there has not been a game titled ''Rayman 4'', or, indeed, ''any'' true sequel to ''Rayman 3''.
* ShoutOut - While attempting to open the doors, Globox can be heard calling out "KlaatuBaradaNikto!"
** He spouts off quite a few others if you stick around and listen for long enough. "[[Literature/SnowWhite Mirror, mirror, on the wall...]] nah, that won't work." "[[Film/MaryPoppins Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!]]" and "[[Disney/{{Cinderella}} Bibbidi bobbidi boo!]]" are particularly noteworthy.
*** Another of Globox's lines is '[[CthulhuMythos Cthulhu alech fhtagn!]]', which has some serious mythological implications for Rayman's world...
** And how about the countless references to {{Spider-Man}}, StarWars, and other popular franchises courtesy of Murfy and Globox?
** Razoff, the person that [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunts you in his mansion]], is [[TheMostDangerousGame Zaroff with the R and Z switched.]]
* SuperNotDrowningSkills - Which is kind of a funny progression if you think about it: ''Rayman'' had SuperDrowningSkills, ''Rayman 2'' gave him the ability to swim but the OxygenMeter still made it possible for him to drown, and now in ''Rayman 3'' he doesn't drown at all (in [[CoolClearWater normal water]], anyway).
* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity - If André's constant conversations to Reflux at the end of the Tower of Leptys wasn't enough of a giveaway, the oodles of Red Lums broken out of piggy banks on the way up the staircase ought to have been some kind of indication that Rayman was about to encounter something likely to inflict large amounts of pain.
* ThePowerOfRock - The doctors use this to 'cure' Globox (since André can't stand music).
* ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow - ''Weaponized''. Andre somehow learned something that utterly corrupted him. He captures others and whispers it to them, then lets them whisper it to others, like an intellectual ZombieApocalypse. It'd be horrific if the entire game weren't PlayedForLaughs.
* TooDumbToLive - Globox falls into a trap in Hoodlum Headquarters because he ''mistakes a badly-drawn cardboard cutout of a female Glute in a bikini to be the real thing''.
* TripodTerror - Céloche, the mechanical tripod boss in the Land of the Livid Dead.
* TuxedoAndMartini - Parodied in one of the "Wanna Kick Rayman" videos.
* TwistEnding - [[spoiler: So Rayman actually "created" André in his sleep?]] Holy shit!
** Not [[spoiler: Rayman, Rayman's ''hands'' did it. They apparently have minds of their own.]]
* UnderwaterBossBattle - Céloche in the Land of the Livid Dead.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential - You can punch Globox when he's following you around. This results in some rather entertaining otherwise-unheard quotes by both him and André (while he's inside of Globox).
** There are also turtles in the first level of the game that you can kick around, to which they protest loudly. They reappear in the Land of the Livid Dead, except this time you can pick them up and throw them too.
* VillainOpeningScene
* YellowSnow - The USA commercial is all about this. However, it leaves one to wonder exactly how Rayman's bladder was able to store such a large amount of urine inside it...
