Well, about searching it in google images, I tried that a million times already, and the result were not great. I didn't try to ask the guy that made the video about the illustrations, but the chances that he'll see my comment are not that huge, I do agree though that its something I should've tried, but I had more confidence to ask here first.

Maybe try email him, there's usually an email in the "about" section on YouTube channels.

I do wonder why there's so much music in BOM part 3. I never heard the last section of "The Moonlit Swamps" until I listened to the soundtrack from RayTunes, but I like it so much that I when I played that level last night I just started goofing around once I'd finished off all the Hoodlums so I could hear it all!

Oh man, I LOVE that piece, but you don't actually have to kill off all the enemies to hear it. All you have to do is getting to the green gem secret right before the end of the second(? - if I remember correctly, not sure about the number) level, the one that you can only reach by standing on a boat which will automatically take you to it.
P.S.: Cheerzluv! This was my 500th post on this forum!

Nice! 8D But yeah, I know that, it's just that stopping there without going back to finish off the Hoodlums would've felt like stopping mid-combo; a fallacy, I know, since the boat moves too slowly to combo anything, but anyway!SpyroGuy said:PluMGMK said:

~I'm now almost convinced the devs were actively trying to mess with players' heads in DOTK3.

Yeah, that's fairly well-known. I've heard the reason might be as stupid as something like "you can see part 3 from certain parts of part 4", so they copy-pasted the entire levels into each other and were lazy about cutting out unneeded stuff.
I guess it's more likely that it was originally supposed to be a single part, but they found it too long. I don't really buy that either though, there are other parts in the game that are quite long.
Sorry to mention DOTK3 again, but it also seems to have a convoluted dev history. There's the counterintuitive opening, for starters. It's inordinately difficult to get 100%, and there are several passages that look like they might lead to secret rooms. Yet, no secret room exists. Seems like the level might have been changed at the last minute, and rushed a bit. But, like I said, an alternative explanation is that they did it on purpose to mess with our heads!
This is supported by the number of passages that do lead somewhere, but that somewhere contains nothing but hordes of zombie chickens!

Well, wasn't there a text dump in the UnLockRay thread a few years ago that revealed scrapped story elements and possibly a hub world?
(Seemingly they were in the process of making an even Darker and Edgier story than R2, before figuring out that Rayman is actually supposed to be light and silly.)

Fair point, I admit I haven't really played Rayman 3 competitively in any respect. The only glitchiness I remember encountering is that weirdness with the health bar in TotL.
I have glanced over the scoring and speedrunning scenes in the past, I remember the extreme debates over certain techniques that were had. I stand corrected.

Wait a minute, how come this information isn't on the wiki, or even in the documentary?
Did you ever figure out why a legit 100% GBA game apparently never worked?
