True, I was just making the point that the Macarena makes sense to be used in a Spanish-themed world, so it's a more natural fit than "U Can't Touch This" in Teensies In Trouble the Old Teensie Kingdom.

Agreed, that'd be a fun nod to Rayman 3. :)

Re: Rayman Legends Retold
I think they were chosen specifically because they’re so memorable.

Are you kidding? They're iconic, timeless songs.
They’ve always been used in movies, TV shows, commercials... and are played on the radio and TV.
Ah okay, I kind of figured that was just me. :oops2:

I don't know, the level design feels a bit lacking and it doesn't seem to match the rhythm as well as the original game's music levels to me. A large part of that is the player messing up, but it doesn't seem to explain everything. Maybe it's just that the animations are less snappy or that the sound effects are less immediate, but it feels a bit off. And I don't particularly care for the song selection or its arrangement here. (Sorry for being rather negative)
No need to apologize, Droolie. Even if they can get needlessly pessimistic at times, people's opinions are still perfectly valid, and when presented in a respectful manner, there's no issue with expressing them. Personally, I think that from what we've seen so far, this new music level just seems so weird... :confus:

Maybe it's the quieter sound effects or the pace of the gameplay (though keep in mind that this footage is from a pre-beta build of the game, so it's still very early) but this one just doesn't click with me either. When it comes to the level itself, this one actually feels more like Rayman Mini's music levels than the OG Legends ones.

The music style they chose to use for the arrangement isn't exactly unique - though maybe the song picks up and gets more interesting as it moves along - and while I don't have a strong opinion on the song choice one way or the other, the fact that the giant Devilbob (at least that's what it looks like) actually sings the lyrics in English makes it feel kind of uncanny. I might have been a bit more receptive to it if he was mostly spouting off gibberish (I think they could have gotten away with him only saying "Can't touch this") like the enemies in Castle Rock or if they had used instruments to represent the lyrics like in Mariachi Madness, but this just doesn't feel right as is.

I also remember seeing somewhere that they used the Macarena for one of the other new music levels, and I could certainly see that one being better since that would fit like a glove in Fiesta de los Muertos (or Mystic Mesa, as I think it's called now), but I already have a feeling that these new ones are going to be fairly divisive.

I think that part of the charm of the old music levels' music was that almost all of the covers were of more obscure songs - honestly, who here had heard of "Black Betty" or "Antisocial" (not sure why Dragon Slayer's cover credits it as "Mecapiston," but whatever) before Legends' covers of the songs? - or original tracks in the cases of Orchestral Chaos and Grannies World Tour, so I could definitely see the use of more popular music rubbing folks the wrong way. Overall, I'm still willing to wait and see what the rest will be like before coming to a conclusion on the new music levels as a whole, but they're certainly off to an... interesting start. :?

Re: Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition
Rayman Origins is a great game but after playing Legends a lot and going back to it, the controls have always felt very finnicky and unresponsive. I hope they update them to be more like Legends here, unless it breaks the game somehow.

I think we're already lucky with the number of different Hoodlums we got in Rayman 3, but those drawings make me wish they'd included more now. :winkgrin:
RayGamer99 wrote: Tue Jun 02, 2026 1:48 am Why didn't they reference the Gunslinger Hoodlum in Rayman in the Phantom Show's Western Set? That would've been the perfect opportunity to bring them back or hide them in that world as a cameo! :tssk:
I'm pretty sure they just didn't spend enough time browsing RayWiki to find out about it. :P
Many thanks! I always found Kagoubinôme and the Gunslinger to be the most interesting ones of the scrapped lot. I heard a while back about a scrapped Rayman M character I do want to have my watercolour take too, it's both wild and amazing how a Piranha controlling a mechanic exoskeleton was considered for the game!!

Remember the carnivourous plants pets that Razorbeard is described to have in the Rayman Arena manual? I once made a design for two twin plants. They're named Rip and Jaws, and you can tell who is who. :P

With the years I also imagined an alternative Rayman universe and thanks to the UbiArt games there was a big revamp on ideas and such. These are some original characters of my story. There's other one not in the attachments that I'm working on a redesign to make new watercolours to show later. Some of the old guard community fans might remember her...

Re: Rayman Legends Retold
I know there's a million things to observe with this, but I have to acknowledge that having David Gasman and Billy West back to voice their characters from Rayman 3 is completely unbelievable to me. Others aren't wrong that the dialogue during gameplay might get annoying, that's totally possible, but I've also had literal dreams about hearing Billy West's Murfy again. I played the PS1 Rayman 2 first when I was a kid, so David Gasman has been my Rayman almost forever. When he returned in Phantom Show, I was really glad, but I also thought it must be a one-time fluke.

This is such a deeply personal and specific pipe dream wish that I've been granted and I don't even know what to say. I guess I just wish they'd gone the extra inch and made it an actual new game, since they've bothered to remake basically everything but the level designs.

Maybe because I drew them with bigger eyes.

Re: Rayman Legends Retold
I really don't want to sound like I'm here to burst everyone's balloons and to switch on the lights and tell everyone at the bar to go home, but I've had this feeling for almost two decades now and I'm really really tired of it.

I don't think Ubisoft takes Rayman seriously as a mascot, no, he hasn't been a mascot of the series since RRR, I don't think Ubisoft takes Rayman seriously as even a character.

Whatever reason they have at Ubisoft, they must have some reason to make them neglect Rayman time and time again. Repurposing RRR as a party game made monetary sense, I can't get behind it but I can understand it. Having Rayman be an afterthought in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope? I guess that's a logical conclusion of the Rabbids being more famous than Rayman. Yes, in the gaming community it's Rayman that has much higher staying power and is much better remembered, but chances are most people are more familiar with the rabbids.

Then there's the Phantom performance regarding Rayman in Sparks of Hope, it doesn't just put salt in the wound of every Rayman fan, it twists the knife.

After many many many failed attempts of catering to Rayman fans, after taking the franchise and flushing it down the toilet, finally they have one last thing to give us: A Rayman Legends remake.

Seriously? Am I supposed to get excited for this?

And it's not even like I'm at fault here for liking a game or franchise made for young people, while I'm turning 30 next year, gaming is a market of all ages and if anything I should be part of their demographic as their greatest hits came out during my childhood.

I just can't bring myself to celebrate this.... win? Technically it's a win, we're getting more Rayman.

Too bad it's more of the same, and a lot of us had this exact opinion already when Legends came out a decade ago.

Imagine SEGA treating Sonic like this, or the most obvious parallel: Nintendo treating Mario like this.
I just don't get it, I don't understand it, I don't know why they would ever shoot theirselves in the foot like this unless they were sure they can't provide a Rayman game without Michel Ancel and they're afraid of catering to the Rayman fanbase as it's been two decades at this point and it would probably be doomed to fail unless they "reignite" the series with this remake.

The thing is, if that's their reason: why not start with a REBOOT????
