Well at least if you are using an emulator you can fast forward it instead of standing there for ages.The Jonster wrote:Yeah, me too. I want to test all the versions I have and see if this glitch occurs anywhere else (which in my case, including emulators, is all except the jaguar version)
Oh, yes the tortures of Art Alley. I remember when I first tried this game out a few years back and I was getting really impatient since most of the palettes were moving AMAZINGLY slow that I would venture off for a few moments to get something and find it gone, just gone. (cost me quite a bit of lives there) It's why out of all the Rayman Junior stages it's my least favorite due to how slow the palettes move. Speaking of which, none of those pages for Rayman Junior are very developed so I might give Rayman Junior another run sometime next week to add to the pages.PluMGMK wrote:It's very much a corner case all right. After all, most things that move in the game are automatically destroyed if they're off-screen for even a short period of time (this can royally screw one over in Art Alley part 3 in Rayman Junior Vol 1, where hopping onto a particular platform with powerups on it happens to move the camera in such a way as to cause the palette to disappear and leave one stranded!). The common factor here is that when this happens, the destroyed object reappears in its original location. Obviously this wouldn't work for Betilla, so they just didn't bother!
Actually come to think of it Rayman 1 made quite a lot of use of out-of-map entities. For example, any map with a hunter spawns a bullet at position (-32, -32), which then copies itself every time a hunter actually shoots his gun.Steo wrote:Yeah I guess since this game only renders things on screen to save memory etc.
I know from using game maker in the past though that all they would have to do is make the instance destroy once outside the room but then again it was released in 1995 and I'm sure game development back then was a lot harder than it is now considering the power our computers have now.
The running ability is "in the game", since Mister Dark forces Rayman to use it in the last level, but it's not enabled other than that though, which is indeed frustrating. I think it's good that the levels are altered. Shows they were creative! Also if the structures were too similar then veterans of a lower difficulty level would just be able to guess the answers on the next one.The Jonster wrote:To finish my earlier talk about Rayman Junior...
Compared with the rest of the levels from Rayman Junior, Art Alley is painfully slow to me, and it's really too bad the the programmers decided not to include the running ability in this game (i think), since I tend to be able to get all of the answers pretty quickly. What I also find curious is that each level of difficulty (1, 2, 3) alters some of the levels a little, and not just the answers.
Oh yeah, it would be a little too easy to make all the paths to the right answers the same because then you learn nothing from it, especially if there are people like me who always try to do every difficulty level.PluMGMK wrote:The running ability is "in the game", since Mister Dark forces Rayman to use it in the last level, but it's not enabled other than that though, which is indeed frustrating.

Another interesting thing is that on the highest difficulty level, hitzones of enemies are expanded to the full extent of the sprites. It means you can kill antitoons without ducking, but it also means that you can be stung by a prickly ball without appearing to even touch it.
Hmm, so it can definitely e done on PS/Saturn versions. Interesting....Steo wrote:That's on a PS2 I done that by the way, not the Saturn.
It's similar to Mario in the way that the enemies only spawn at the edge of the screen except a lot of the ones in Rayman actually just spawn on screen as it's the way it was designed.
