›Story
Rabbids take over our beloved amusement park!
For some reason unknown to us, Rabbids decide to take over our beloved amusement park.
We do not know their plan; we do not know their intentions. But one thing we are sure of: they are going to make the most of their day out by invading all the attractions!
They don’t intend to queue like everyone else or stay seated during the whole journey!
As Rabbids will always be Rabbids, you’ll see them misusing the rides, going bwaaah at a souvenir shop before stopping in an overpriced themed restaurant.
So whether it’s a sunny or rainy day, just grab your Wii U GamePad and roll the dice to join them!

Gameplay
Gameplay is similar to the Mario Party series. It features a board game-like scenario. The player rolls a dice with the Wii U GamePad, and depending on the number the dice lands, the Rabbid will move to the corresponding square. These squares trigger a different feature and can be easily told apart by looking at the symbol drawn on the square.
The primary goal is to win the board game by winning trophies, which can be collected by playing and winning minigames. Once a player has collected all trophies needed, they must to get to the center. Upon reaching it, the game is over and the player can win prizes. Although up to four players can take turns in the main game, only two players can play the minigames at a time.
Story
Still on Earth, the Rabbids find themselves taking over an amusement park. Two Rabbids are attempting to go on one of the rides (not in disguise the first time, in disguise the second time as a dragon and in disguise the third time as a tall man), but are thrown out by an unseen person due to them not meeting the height requirements. One of the Rabbids contacts the Rabbid spaceship through an iPhone-like device. He tries to call the Rabbid in the spaceship, who is too busy playing with the Wii U GamePad.
Unaware of the consequences, the Rabbid in the spaceship continues to play with the GamePad, which was actually controlling the whole ship. The Rabbid turns the GamePad upside down, which causes the ship to flip itself and crash land in the amusement park.
Reception
Rabbids Land received "mixed" reviews, mostly because of its board game style of play, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
IGN called it "a mediocre party game mini-game collection." Nintendo Life praised its fun mini-games and amazing graphics and said, "if you don't mind the one-to one restriction of the mini-games, there's a lot of fun to be had here." They disliked a few mini-games saying "It's a few you can go without." They noted that the lack of attractions is disappointing.
