Bunnies never close doors | Rayman: Raving Rabbids | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary, 4K

Video games often experience shifts in direction during development, but few are as drastic or as culturally impactful as the transformation of *Rayman: Raving Rabbids*. Released in 2006, the title serves as a pivotal point in Ubisoft’s history, marking the divergence of the *Rayman* franchise and the birth of the Rabbids—a spin-off phenomenon that would eventually eclipse its parent series in global popularity. While it carries the name of the limbless hero, the game is best understood not as a traditional platformer, but as a chaotic, humor-driven collection of minigames designed to showcase the motion-control capabilities of the Nintendo Wii. The premise of the final game is absurdly simple, relying on slapstick comedy rather than narrative depth. Rayman is captured and thrown into a gladiatorial arena, where he must participate in a series of trials to entertain the Rabbids. The tone is irreverent, defined by the Rabbids' gibberish screams and their misuse of mundane human objects. One of the most emblematic minigames from *Rayman: Raving Rabbids* is "Bunnies never close doors." This specific challenge encapsulates the zany, irreverent humor that defined the franchise's pivot to chaotic party games. Set against the backdrop of a crude beachside public restroom, the minigame tasks the player with a simple yet frantic objective: maintain privacy for the raving rabbits who have absolutely no concept of it. The premise is absurdist comedy; the player is presented with a row of four toilet stalls where Rabbids are engaged in their business. However, their stall doors incessantly swing open. The player’s goal is to act as a bizarre bathroom attendant, forcibly slamming the doors shut to keep the Rabbids hidden. The game operates on a survival timer, and as the clock ticks down, the frequency at which the doors swing open increases, creating a rhythmic and frantic tempo. If a door remains open for too long, the exposed Rabbid hurls a plunger directly at the screen, resulting in an immediate failure. The immersion of the minigame varied depending on the platform, with the Nintendo Wii version offering the most physical interpretation through motion controls, mimicking the frantic physical exertion of the task. On other platforms, this was translated to button presses or analog stick movements, retaining the urgent "whack-a-mole" style urgency. This minigame serves as a microcosm for the entire *Rayman: Raving Rabbids* project, proving that even a mundane task could be transformed into a high-stakes, hilarious challenge through the lens of the Raving Rabbids.
