I think we need a '3D Games' or '3D Platformer Games' category. We already have a 'Sidescroller Games' one. Maybe a 'Rayman Games' one would be good too, since we already have a 'Rabbids Games' one.

Something I realised when playing the Jaguar version: the disappearing clouds have eyes in EVERY version of the game. They just don't open them.

And the ones in the Jaguar version don't just have eyes; they have entire faces, if you look closely.

I think we should call them 'sleeping clouds' or 'vanishing clouds' or something.

I knew that.

But in non-Jag versions, they're not eyes, they're just spots of moisture.

No, they are closed eyes. That is, unless the "moisture" in the disc-based versions just happens to coincidentally look identical to the closed eyes in the Jaguar version.

It is not identical, it's similar. Those spots are just an evolution of the closed eyes in the original and don't actually represent eyes.

I agree with PluM here, it really doesn't look like eyes in my opinion.

Really? Do you have comparison screenshots?

You can even see the line between the upper and lower eyelids if you look closely...

I think that the 'Dream Forest' page should be moved to 'The Dream Forest'. That's how it's spelled in the Jaguar manual, as well as both the UK and American PlayStation manuals. My copy of the PlayStation version calls it that in-game, and so my copy of the Saturn version, and Rayman Advance. I don't see why we can't have a 'The' at the start of it like we do with 'The Caves of Skops'. The only source that leaves out the 'The' is the Jaguar version, but that seems to me to have been an early, incorrect translation of the original French, which was 'La Foret Des Songes'.

You might be right after all, but I'd like to check the different versions I have first. By the way, congratulations on your article about the valley, it's pretty good.

Thanks. I'm still in two minds about 'Blue Mountains' vs 'The Blue Mountains'... with the exception of the French ('Les Montagnes Bleues'), all of the evidence points towards 'Blue Mountains', but 'The Blue Mountains' sounds more natural to me.

Band Land and Candy Château seem to be actual placenames, while all the other worlds' names seem more like descriptions than names.

There are some Blue Mountains in Middle-earth as well.

Would you happen to know if the real ones are known as 'Blue Mountains' or 'The Blue Mountains' by any chance?

If we're to continue calling it “Dream Forest”, then shouldn't we also start calling the Swamps of Forgetfulness “Forgotten Swamps”?

It is a page where contributors of the RayWiki can optate to write about themselves.
