Correct, and that makes Dave our second contestant!

Those first two questions were pretty easy, so how's about we kick things up a notch?
Question 3: During the intro to Maths and English with Rayman (better known as Rayman Junior or Rayman Brain Games), while pondering who could retrieve the Book of Knowledge, the Magician imagines himself in a few costumes. What are these costumes?

Reading your and other still-familiar usernames after such a long absence brought me a smile, it does make me feel a bit nostalgic about that timeline.Droolie wrote: Thu Jun 11, 2026 5:44 pm By the way, great to see you here again! And some other old members returning too with the new Rayman stuff happening. Makes this place feel just slightly like old times again. ^^
I read that apparently the game will have a Brazilian Portuguese dub for the first time in the franchise (excluding the talking Polokus in the Legends intro cutscene), I'll be both curious to have a listen to this, but also to the French voice cast. It would be cool if they called back some of the Rayman 3 voice actors just like they did for the English cast.And looking at his other tweets, I suppose we also already know the new (French?) dub actor for the Dark Teensy.
You summarise well my thoughts about what made the original trilogy special in the franchise. I do miss the diverse and unique fauna and flora of the Glade of Dreams, which is lacking a lot in the UbiArt sequels. The newer regions are much more inspired in real-world locations and they don't feel as memorable because of that. I wouldn't complain much about the human presence if there wasn't an excessive number of princesses for the sake of skins.TeensieKing wrote: Thu Jun 11, 2026 12:55 am

I'll preface this by stating that I was never the biggest fan of the UbiArt games, not even when they first came out. Already when Origins released, I had been waiting for Rayman 4 since 2003. Getting a new entry in the series that basically flushed all previously-established lore down the toilet was bittersweet. Rayman 2 was my first Rayman game, followed by Rayman 3. So I find it baffling that, to some, the lore and story of a Rayman game is not an important factor. For me, it's what I like the most about the franchise: the characters, the story, the sense of discovery... And that brings me to the exploration. What I've always liked the most about Rayman games is not the platforming or the speed, it's the exploration. As Hunch was saying earlier, getting to explore and mysterious world full of outladish, yet lovable creatures. I enjoy the UbiArt games for what they are, fun 2D platformers with an impressive hand-drawn artstyle. But as Rayman games, they leave a lot to be desired.
The fact that the team at Ubisoft decided that, from a lore standpoint, Rayman Legends was the most diverse version of the Glade of Dreams is, to put it bluntly, laughable. Rayman Legends introduces, as previously stated by Hunch and some others, quite a few world themes oddly connected to real-life humans: Medieval castles, Greek temples, the Fiesta de los Muertos... All of them so lazy and uninspired compared to what came before. And Barbara. Oh, Barbara. Don't even get me started. She sticks out like a sore thumb. How the hell did a human Viking princess spawn in the middle of the Glade of Dreams? I could never imagine her being in the same cutscene as Ly the Fairy.
(...)
It's really hard to weight what's the "game of the middle" for me because in the latest years it's a juggle between Hoodlum Havoc and Legends. Both have their strengths and their weaknesses, but something I've been truly missing is the original art direction so there's a minor preference for the 2003 title even if I still have my own reservations about how some stuff were handled.
I still look to the Raving Rabbids as the element that changed the franchise forever and created that irreversible border between the classic Rayman and the modern one. Things were never more the same since the 2007 game (that apparently it's canon according to the new map...).

Today marks Pirate-Community's nineteenth birthday, one step closer to two decades of existence! While nothing particularly noteworthy happened to the Rayman series over the past year, the community itself has been thriving.
On the research side of things, the discovery of cut Rayman 4 functionality and mechanics in Rayman Raving Rabbids and the release of the source code for the engine for Rayman 2 which was found in a leaked version of Rayman Raving Rabbids for the Nintendo DS led to numerous findings and even paved for the way for new types of potential fan games. Unpublished tunes created for Rayman Junior were discovered too, as well the elusive video "Rayman's training" which is now available in its entirety.
The modding scene has not been left behind, with numerous patches that allow for a better experience of Rayman games, from texture packs to multiplayer support. Many fan games are in development, and while there have been no major releases as of the past year, a lot of content is being created for Rayman ReDesigner.
Finally, we at Pirate-Community had the pleasure to host the second edition of our speedrunning contest, SpeedRay 2022, with shiny cash for the talented winners!
As for the usual statistics, 9,562 messages were posted on the forum, with a total of 1,362,896, and 138 new articles were created on RayWiki, leading to 5977 in 8 languages. To many more!
Long live Rayman, long live Pirate-Community!
