Antitoons? Why? They're effective enemies.

Tily. I used to like her until the day I asked my father to play Rayman M with me. Seeing me choosing Tily to play against him got him so mad he broke my PlayStation 2 with a sledge hammer and took me to the garage to beat the shit out of me with a set of jumper cables.

Because they're so tiny.

Well yeah, so they're difficult to get rid of. And they're still quite dangerous, especially if you're in a confined space.

I also find they're a good part of the game. Without them some parts of the game would be easier I think.

And that's the day the Tily haters club was formed because you got a beating, all thanks to the character... Tily ;)

That reminds me of Patrick Star except it's rephrased to:

"Well, I think she's ugly. Tily is ugly" :lol:

Suppose I'll go with the crabs from Rayman 2 or the antitoons in the PS1 version of Rayman 2 for now because I can't think of anything better. If I do I'll change my mind.

I have to disagree with you. In most versions of Rayman 2 you don't fight someone before acquiring the second mask. It seems a little too easy for Rayman. Ninjaws in the PS1 version provides a level of difficulty by standing in Rayman's way, which is valuable. While the other Ninja Henchmen are the same in attacking, Ninjaws seems to be the leader of that specific group, and probably even smarter.

i mean that because...he is the same as the other ninja pirate in the game so interducing a new character would be kinda dumb.
if it was just a normal one, id be fine

Definitely Razorwife and Tily. They fit better in the Rayman universe than some of the more recent additions (Rabbids and the HUMAN princesses, I don't mind both but neither I think really fit that well in this Universe (I prefer the princesses in this universe over Rabbids though)), but they serve no REAL purposes aside from being a replacement character(Tily) and some strange excuse for a character(Razorwife).

Yup, that's true. I am happy that the Rabbids have their own universe, I think they are much better off split from Rayman's world and I feel it was predestined (maybe).

I feel like Rayman Raving Rabbids isn't the worst, but it can get a bit repetitive after a while is the only problem. Still a fun game but it's far different from Rayman. I haven't played RRR 2 or anything else after RRR but I feel it's one of those things you either love or hate. I do like the game but I honestly prefer actual Rayman games. Still gonna buy RRR on GBA though why not.

I've seen a playthrough of RRR, it's not bad but it's very repetitive with the minigames (I liked them a little, they seemed fun), the baby Globoxes look totally BIZARRE from their other appearances, and the ending was......well. I did like the costumes though.

Oh yeah the costumes are cool. The baby Globox's even had me thinking wtf and I had only seen Globox's RO and RL appearances at that stage.
