A very, very, ''[[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|very]]'' strange game.
 
''Rabbids Go Home'' is thea latest"comedy-adventure" game from the [[Ubisoft]] Montpiller studio, home of game design guru [[Rayman|Michel]] [[Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Ancel]]. This game features the [[Raving Rabbids|Rabbids]] of ''[[Rayman]]'' fame -- specifically, ''[[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|more]]'' fame than Rayman -- but with Ubisoft having heard the complaints over the Rabbids' spotlight stealing, this isn't a ''Rayman'' game; Rayman himself is completely absent. It forgoes the semblance of Rayman's weird, dreamlike homeland and instead takes place in something resembling the "real" world [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|(for certain values of "real")]].
 
The Rabbids live in a junkyard, where they spend their days "DAAAAAAH!"-ing and, um, [[Sorry I Left the BGM On|playing oompah music.]] But they get it into their heads one day to "go home!" And where is their home? Well, since they're patently ridiculous, it ''must'' be the moon! (Which has some [[Moon Rabbit|interesting implications from a mythological standpoint,]] but that could be accidental.) But the Rabbids aren't generally so good at flying spaceships. So, instead, they decide to reach the moon by... building a giant pile of ''stuff.'' Which will then allow them to jump off and land on the moon. It makes sense to ''them,'' at least. But where will they get all this stuff? Well, the ''humans'' sure have a lot of stuff. And their city is right nearby! ''Hmmmmm...''
Line 13:
The game plays out like a... Like a... like... hmm. Well, that's actually a good question. Most media outlets seem to be going for some combination of [[Platformer]], [[Racing Game]], and [[Adventure Game]], so we'll go with that, too. Oh, and if it can be considered a genre, ''[[Katamari Damacy]].'' You control two Rabbids in a shopping cart. You have to collect stuff. And break things. And <s>avoid</s> collect dogs. And literally scare the pants off humans. And collect their pants. And infiltrate hospitals to collect ''patients''. And collect stuff. ...Did we mention this game was [[Widget Series|weird]]?

----
'''This game contains examples of:'''
 
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Shaking the Rabbids up "In Ze Wii Remote". Eventually their facial features and head will start to become deformed. They always snap right back to their previous state after letting you stare at their makeover for a few seconds.
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: {{spoiler|The Rabbids, in the ending.}}
Line 25 ⟶ 23:
* [[Did I Mention It's Christmas?]]: Late November/early December, from the looks of the security cam dates.
** There is even a Christmas level where the Rabids steal a Christmas Tree from an office building.
* [[Epic Fail]]: Referenced ''by name'' in one of the Rabbids' attempts to go to the moon in an ad: the propeller drills one down instead of into the air.
** It's mentioned again in an ad where a catapult slams the Rabbid in it into the ground, then lashes backwards and knocks one off in the other direction.
* [[Everythings Better With Bunnies]]: For certain values of "better."
* [[Fridge Horror]]: All those looted dogs and patients are probably [[And I Must Scream|screaming]] in that giant pile of stuff...
** The first item you get is some sort of veichle with a woman trapped inside. That woman is at the ''very bottom of the pile'', possibly buried underneath all of that stuff.
*** [[Wild Mass Guessing|It's possible that the sentient creatures are actually escaping the pile the second the rabbids look away. That might be how Bernie manages to show up in the hospital three times.]] Despite being kidnapped by the rabbids. [[Department of Redundancy Department|Three times.]]
* [[Gas Mask Mooks]]: The Verminators wear gas masks and hazmat suits. This isn't because Rabbids are toxic, but because the Verminators (like most humans in the game by the looks of it) are germophobic and obsessive compulsive.
** Even some of the ''civillians'' wear gas masks after a while.
* [[Genre Busting]]: Is it a platformer, a racing game, an adventure game, or a collectathon? [[Mathematician's Answer|Yes.]]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: But only in America. In Europe, the radar [http://wii.nintendolife.com/news/2009/11/rabbids_recall_retracted earned the game a PEGI 12 rating]... ''[[Subverted Trope|after it was released with a lower one]].'' Whether this is [[Values Dissonance]] at work or the ESRB having a brain fart is a mystery.
** One human pleads, "Hey, cut it out! [[I Have a Family|My wife is almost pregnant!]]" ...*[[Record Needle Scratch]]* Wait, ''[[G-Rated Sex|almost?]]''
** You can find a doll that promises to be your BFF in exchange for money. When you look closely at the doll though, it's an inflatable woman in her underwear.
Line 45 ⟶ 40:
* [[Made of Iron]]: The Rabbids can endure incredible amounts of punishment, most likely because they're too crazed and stupid to know what actual pain is.
* [[Make Me Wanna Shout]]: The Rabbids can yell at humans and scare them out of their clothes (which can then be collected).
* [[Missing Secret]]: There is only one Rabbid figurine that isn't unlocked via code. How it's unlocked remains a mystery. Getting [[Hundred-Percent100% Completion]] doesn't even unlock it. {{spoiler|Speaking of, getting [[Hundred-Percent100% Completion]] only makes the tier stars on the stage select spin.}}
* [[Moon Rabbit]]: Can a trope be ''accidentally'' invoked? Because it may have just been here. On the other hand, if it ''is'' accidental, it'll make for quite the [[Lucky Translation]] in the Japanese version.
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: They never get ''entirely'' naked, since this ''is'' a family game, but you can strip most humans down to little more than their undies.
Line 60 ⟶ 55:
** "Hey, HEY my name is JOE. I kid you not!"
*** There's tons of them and they're ALL Joe.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Replace "Kinky" with "Dumb," and there's the Rabbids for you. You can smack them silly, blow up their facial features, feed them exploding candy, and even ''repeatedly electrocute them,'' and they just laugh and grin like maniacs.
* [[Toy Time]]: The early "Mall" level has a "toy store" area with this theme.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: The game actually ''invites you'' to be as abusive to the Rabbids as possible when you've got them in the Wiimote design mode. However, the Rabbids ''like'' it.
** Hell, actual gameplay itself is like this. You go around causing tons of damage, you steal people's dogs from them, one of the rare items is a baby in a stroller which you can steal, and there are a couple Easter Eggs in the game where you can SCARE PEOPLE SO THEY FALL DOWN AN OPEN ELEVATOR SHAFT.
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: You can customize the three Rabbids you use to your liking, with accessories, paint, and more.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]
* '''[[Widget Series]]'''
