TTQ - Season 146 - RayGamer99

[Greengoop]

I’ll put that into words for you

They are brown chocolate platforms with certain facial expressions around spikes (likely bits from biscuit)

[dr_st]

Ah, I see now... but, as far as I know, they don't actually appear in R1 for the Jaguar, only in the educational games. Maybe they exist / can be used in Designer and its sequels? In any case, those was not part of the question.

The things that Greengoop mentioned, I can only guess he's talking about the corkscrews. Which is correct. However, I cannot find a fair way to grant the point, and we do not support splitting points, so I will withdraw this question and move on.

Question 20: Describe a location in Rayman 3 where André is giving very obvious hints to Rayman. Try to be as specific as possible.

[lyndo64]

In the final part of HHQ, when Rayman is escaping the rising lava, Andre is all like "DON'T LET HIM REACH THE TOWER OF LEPTYS!" and stuff like that.

[Greengoop]

Oops sorry jonster

No, that's not convincing enough.

Oops sorry jonster

Well, The Jonster can at least try to answer this question now, since he did not get two in a row.

Hello! If it’s alright to join I’d like to give it a go. If not, you can ignore my answer! On the last stage of Hoodlum Headquarters André says “Don’t let Rayman get his grimy mits on the horrible machine”.

Certainly, welcome! Please read the rules on the first page if you haven't yet.

Unfortunately, this answer is also not something I would consider a "hint", much less an "obvious" one.

Wonderful, I’m happy to participate! And Woah this is gonna be a tough one to solve! Good luck to the next user answering

[The Jonster]

Not sure if this is it, but there’s the second phase against Reflux in TOTL. When Reflux slams his fist on the ground the first time Andre will warn Reflux to keep a close eye on the scepter on his back and to not let Rayman get his hands on it (ofc at that point there’s already a path to the scepter so…).

Technically that’s the second to last phase. JSYK.

You really know your stuff, Jonster! Very impressive!

That is what I had in mind!

In fact, André gives more hints in that phase. For example, if you miss your jumps a lot and get thrown into the air, he will say "Ha ha! This idiot doesn't even know how to jump any more!". And when Reflux's hand is on the ground, he will sometimes say (although I don't remember the exact trigger): "Straighten up! Or else Rayman will jump up on you!".

I always found it funny (and somewhat uncharacteristic) that the developers chose André as a means of conveying concrete gameplay hints to struggling players.

Question 21: After you grind through the insane final challenge of Rayman Redemption (Dark Legacy), the last part of the level rewards you with lots of Extra Lives. How many?
1 attempt per participant. If no one answers exactly, the point will go to the closest guess in 72 hours.
The Jonster got 2 points in a row and should skip this question.

[Greengoop]

I might be wrong but 23?

[dr_st]

You're not wrong, 23 is correct!

Greengoop is on the brink of victory! Any question may be the last now, so let's go back a little bit into the realm of newer games.

Question 22: Where in Rayman Origins can you remount a mosquito after dismounting from it?

[Greengoop]

In electoon chambers or is that not specific enough?

[dr_st]

I am looking for a specific location.

[Greengoop]

Ok, then dashing thru the snow (gourmand land)

[dr_st]

That is indeed one such location (not the only one).

Normally I would not accept it at this point, because of the 1 answer per participant.
However, I do acknowledge that your first answer can be considered valid, as it is more general.

Since this is the point that might secure your victory, I would like it to be conclusive.
So I will give you the point (and the win) if you can answer the following follow-up:

Please explain why the game allows you to remount the mosquitoes at these points.

[Greengoop]

In case you dismounted without killing all the enemies

[dr_st]

In case you dismounted without killing all the enemies

That is indeed correct! Because the enemies in question cannot be destroyed except while on the mosquito.

Well, Greengoop, in the relatively short time since your registration, you surely have impressed us with your Rayman knowledge, and earned this victory with determination.

Greengoop, as the winner of the season, you have the right to host the next season of the quiz. Which can start any time after a minimum required 2 weeks break. I do not believe you have to decide immediately, but please announce at some point whether you are interested in hosting.

[Greengoop]

Wow thanks! I would certainly enjoy hosting this quiz in a few weeks time so I will if that’s ok

I have two questions: are there any rules about what I can/ can not ask?

Can I choose whatever question format I’d like (e.g. message colour, question display)
