Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time (also known as Rabbids Travel in Time 3D or just simply Rabbids 3D for the 3DS game) is a video game developed and published by Ubisoft for the Wii and the Nintendo 3DS.
Gameplay[]
One of the Rabbids accidentally go through time with a washing machine. The goal of the game is to play as many minigames as you can. There are 4 worlds: Prehistory, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome, and The Middle Ages. Each world has 16 levels as well as several bonus levels and minigames. There are two modes: Mission Mode, and Record Mode. In mission mode, you have to collect as many Coins and rubber duckys as you can and kill all the raving rabbids, and record mode is the same thing except there is a timer and you have to finish the level in record time every time you play it. In the bonus levels, there is usually a countdown and you have to finish the countdown before it gets to 0.
3DS version[]
The game has the same worlds as the Wii version, but it is a 2D Platformer instead.
Plot[]
Wii[]
The Rabbids use a time machine (which looks like a washing machine) to go through different times to change the history of the World According to the trailer, first they go to The Prehistory in 10, 000 BC and help a caveman discover fire, but end up giving him a lighter. Then they go to middle-aged Ancient Egypt in 2500 BC to disturb work on the Sphinx and make the nose fall off. And last, they go to Middle Ages in 520 but they end up underground holding down the legendary sword Excalibur when Arthur tries to pull it off the stone, but he gives up and leaves. When the Rabbids leave, Grannie ended up pulling the sword instead of Arthur.
In the intro for the game, a Rabbid is seen inside the washing machine/time machine altering prehistoric times, ancient Egypt, Middle Ages, Vienna in 1803 Beethoven's composition of the Fifth Symphony and Street Punk in 1980s a Punk Subculture, before smashing a vase in the modern day. The player then teams up with the Rabbid to mess with history (by accessing paintings related to each minigame) in order to repair the time machine (which was damaged on the trips to the aforementioned time periods). Upon altering time and accessing the golden washing machine, the Rabbid and the player are warped forward to the year 4096 A.D where Professor Barranco 3 (the ultra-intelligent Rabbid commander from Rayman Raving Rabbids 2) is drilling various Rabbids to use time machines to take absolute control over the space-time continuum. However, the player's Rabbid literally pulls the plug on one of the machines and causes all the time machines to disappear. This action inadvertently initiates a time paradox (which results in a sped-up version of the game intro) before ending up back in the museum.
3DS[]
Taking place after the events of the Wii version of Raving Rabbids Travel In Time, the Rabbids are playing in the museum, when the same Time Machine appears, this time containing a Rabbid with a duck ring. After the Rabbids fight for the duck ring, the player and the Rabbid get warped to the past, in which the player once again teams up with the Rabbid to get back to the Present while making mess of history again. The game's ending shows the Rabbid the player teamed up with finding a refrigerator, in which the Rabbid attempts to use it as a Time Machine, but he only put some stuff on himself, and is zapped by a lighting spark, and the credits roll.
Reception[]
Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time was met with mixed reviews. Nintendo Power gave the game a 6.5, while VideoGamer gave it a score of 8/10.
