Tip for Rayman: Raving Rabbids players

I’ve been playing Rayman: Raving Rabbids, and I’m loving its complete insanity. However, one minigame, “Bunnies have natural rhythm”, is a bit rubbish. You’re meant to kick four coloured stereos to turn them on, then get rid of the bunnies while they’re dancing. After a dozen attempts, you realise your Rayman simply isn’t kicking when he should and you’re getting seriously pissed off.

No, your Wii Remote isn’t faulty, you’re not incompetent (not really, anyways!), it’s a bug in the game. According to GameSpot, the best way to solve the problem is to change your Wii settings to 60hz*, at which point the game becomes easy again… Otherwise, you can always just skip that minigame, since you only need three minigames and one “boss” to move on.

We’re about halfway through the game, I think, and I feel this is a bit like a school play – everything early in the play is well-rehearsed and nobody makes any mistakes, but the end of it hasn’t had its share of attention and rehearsal, things are more improvised and flukey the closer to the end it gets.

Did anyone else get this impression?

[* It's my understanding this only affects those playing on 50hz tvs]

    Hey, nice blog.

    I found this page coz I ‘m randomly looking for tips n tricks in order to improve my score. I(25) bought the game a week ago and my gf(23) and I brought it up to 40% completion.
    It was funny reading about your ‘bunnies have natural rhythm’ frustration as I went through the same. I found a very veryyyyy unorthodox way of completing that game and I bet it can be used for the sequel of this mini-game. Whenever I was swinging I was also pausing the game with the ‘+’ sign and then resuming whilst still swinging the ‘mote like crazy. Believe it or not it worked and I wiped them off the screen in 35″. Will I ever play this mini-game again….well you know the answer to that one.

    Post more tips if possible, besides the ‘timing your kick’ on the bunnies cant play soccer or something like that :) which other sites have posted

    Hi

    I had the same problem as you but on “Bunnies have natural rhythm 2″, the first one I could beat it. I solved the problem buying the Wii component cable and changing the Wii options to HDMI.

    Thanks so much people. Was going insane trying to complete this level. Does anyone know what you miss if you dont change it to 60hz?

    [...] Since Christmas, we’ve had little time to play Wii, but one game we’ve had for about a week has definitely got Andrew excited again. Wario Ware: Smooth Moves is even nuttier and more unbelievably fast-paced than Rayman was. [...]
