Except “Sans Undertale” just made me chuckle when I read it, it never pissed me off

Do you ever play Rayman and suddenly realize: "wait, he doesn't have limbs, his head floats??" and then you remember that it's normal

Ubisoft sponsored a 4 hour documentary of the Prince of Persia series for its 35th anniversary and provided footage of cut content and interviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHhK0kvH58I
I hope they'll do something similar for the Rayman series too.

An interesting tidbit about Rayman was also mentioned: the writers of Warrior Within (and later Assassin's Creed), Corey May and Dooma Wendschuh apparently pitched a Rayman TV series around 2003/2004 that was rejected by Ubisoft: https://youtu.be/tHhK0kvH58I?si=7RnwB_2y7LC7rK1q&t=6984
A few storyboards are seen here as well, but not a lot.

Something like that for Rayman would be really interesting, actually. I'd be intrigued.

If Rayman was Canadian would his name be "Ray-eh"?

I always thought that his hair was like, normal hair, it’s just imbued with magic or something like that??
I mean, he only gets the ability to fly after Betilla powers him up.

Maybe, idk? I’m glad you like it, but now i’m thinking.. Does Rayman even have bones? Bones are supposed to connect stuff, right? But his body is barely connected to any other body parts.. I think i’m looking into this a little bit too much :sad:
I would love to talk more about this, but god damn timezones and i have to go sleep right now.. So, bye for now :(

He definitely has bones, as Bubble Dreamer in Origins says "Less bones to break!" which implies he does have. Also remember your head, hands, feet and torso also have bones. I don't think they'd work exactly as in real life though, considering Rayman seems to be kiiiiinda stretchy?

Yeah, i do remember that, but the thing is, there's like only one bone in our body that's not connected to any other bones. And it keeps in place by muscles, cartilage and stuff like that.. Maybe his bones are all kept that way, too?

I'm guessing not all bones of his connect, they're like different sections. Rayman has teeth and likely a skull, although teeth technically aren't bones... So yes, Rayman's just built different (although I think that's pretty obvious). Ed is in one of the Murfy cutscenes in Rayman Arena, shown as a skeleton in the background. Since Ed is also limbless, I'm guessing Rayman's bones are somewhat similar?
