    Dude I cannot explain to you how disappointed I was as a kid getting rabbids go home on the Wii and being absolutely obsessed and begging for travel in time when it came out only to realise it was just a mini game collection.

      I had a similar experience where my parents got me Rayman Raving Rabbids (and I think they almost got me Rabbids Land?) because I loved Rabbids Go Home so much, only to be disappointed that it wasn’t a similar game at all. I still have no clue why Ubisoft continues their mini game collection schtick during a renaissance of platformers.

    Fun fact: Usually, Nintendo usually send 3D models of Mario as a reference point for other studios designing him. In Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, the Mario designs were done from scratch at Ubisoft and that was a surprise to Shigeru Miyamoto on how well they did it.
    I’m surprised you didn’t mention that Sparks of Hope also brought in Yoko Shimomura of Mario & Luigi and Kingdom Hearts fame to help out Grant Kirkhope and Gareth Corker. That makes it that she composed 3 out of 4 of the Mario RPG series. 😊

    A little correction on 18:32
    That ain't jazz dude, A Romanian Brass Band named "Fanfare Vagabontu" are the ones responsible for the soundtrack of RGH and imo the music is def one of the best aspects of this game, its so unique and it fits the chaotic nature of the rabbids near perfectly for this game
    I should mention that some of the songs featured in RGH like "Bubamara" and "Sanie Cu Zurgalai" are arrangements of classic romanian folk pieces
    It was an odd choice but damn it paid off so well in the end, I hope the man responsible for this decision got a raise

    Some of the stuff I got stuck on as a kid was way easier.
    The on rails shooter segments become so much more fun when you figure out how to grab the rabbids. Its literally that holding fat rat meme.
    You also get to throw them back at the other rabbids, a very funny idea.

    Apparently, the same team who were supposed to work on Rayman 4 (aka the Rayman Raving Rabbids prototype), worked on Rabbids Go Home rather than the RRR trilogy. That's probably why the game is so good, they probably thought "well, even if Rayman isn't gonna be in this game, we might as well do something creative and fun with the Rabbids."

    Shoutout to the weird ass pc port of Rabbids Go home. It only released in certain european countries on disc and it's not really a full port because it has no adventure mode, you just boot a game and get a level select with random levels from the wii version, the levels are in unchronological order and it's also a portion of them compared to the wii version. after you play a level it just boots you back to the level select and it doesn't even save your score or anything. the whole thing is extremely bizzare. I have to assume that they were working on a full pc port but at some point the project got canned and they just kinda quickly released what they had in quiet manner.

    I’ve always had a soft-spot for the Rabbids given that I grew up playing Rabbids Go Home and Rabbids Travel in Time even if I get why Rayman fans weren’t too keen on them taking the spotlight.
    Edit: Glad to see you enjoyed Rabbids Go Home. I would love to see it remastered in HD even if they’re going to need to put in the work to replace the Wii Mote
    It’d be cool if we ever get another Rayman game, they pulled a Kirby’s Adventure and had the Rabbids actually be revealed to trying to do good all along.
    Also I’d love for a Mario + Rabbids 3 to have Mario and Rayman meet for the first time. Like there were complaints that Mario and Rayman never got to interact in the DLC for Sparks of Hope.
    So why not address those complaints and make it a selling point. Imagine exploring a mashup of Rayman and Mario’s worlds.
    Heck imagine a Rabbids game that brought them back to their roots as characters in Rayman’s world and have them go to war against Captain Razorbeard’s forces. Maybe it could be a Rabbids Go Home 2 in all but name by having the Rabbids collecting scrap to help aid in the war against the Robo Pirates

People should really give that series a chance besides how outlandish it sounds. Mario with guns working with those annoying rabbits wouldn't feel like a fun game, but it really became my favorite among all the Switch games I own

    As someone who's been playing the Rayman games since the first one...
    I actually liked the rabbids. Maybe it's because I was a teenager who was enamored with the Wii at the time, but I got a kick out of the first two Raving Rabbids games. In fact, I still have a soft spot for the second game due to actually being able to play as them. (As well as less amount of mini-game repeats). Maybe I'm just a weirdo, but I always found them endearing in how stupid and obnoxious they are. The amount of vitriol they receive from people for some reason also endears me to them.
    I can sympathize with people saying they killed Rayman for the longest time though, and I can say with confidence that separating the two was for the best. And I'm happy to see that the Mario + Rabbid games have been well-received.
