Globox, Red Globox, Glombrox, the Rockfish from the Sea of Serendipity, the Boss Bird, and the Mockingbird!

This is a good answer indeed!

Question 11: The following screenshots are from three distinct versions of Rayman Legends. Name each version and the system it is running on, from left to right.

[RayGamer99]

Left: Xbox One
Middle: Nintendo Switch (Definitive Edition)
Right: Uh... PC?

Not much to add to that!
(Well, you could have mentioned it's the Demo of the PC version, but it's obvious from the picture anyways.

Edit: well, for the sake of those reading this thread after-the-fact, here is the explanation:
1. Ray Vaas is only in the Xbox One version of Legends, although he appeared in some spinoffs.
2. The Kung Foot tournament was added in the Definitive Edition.
3. The PC versions are the only ones to display the build number on the bottom right.

Question 12: Ubisoft Sofia (Bulgaria) aren't known for many contributions to the Rayman universe, but they did have a couple projects. Which ones?
RayGamer99 got 2 answers in a row and should skip this question.

[Greengoop]

I believe they worked on some PC ports of the Rayman Raving Rabbids games.

[dr_st]

Although you didn't specify which games, since there were exactly two RRR games ported to PC (RRR and RRR2), I think I shall accept your answer.
BTW, they also ported Rabbids Go Home, but that one doesn't have Rayman in it.

Question 13: The collectibles in Rayman Redemption include different types of skins. List all the types.
Note: I'm not asking to list all the different skins, of which there are many, but the types of objects the skins are applied to.

[The Jonster]

Ok so I'm assuming you mean not the skins, but the objects themselves that these skins are applied to? Unless I totally have this wrong in which case this answer will look silly!

Pretty sure Rayman and Bzzit get skins. And......maybe the checkpoints?

Oh, yes, I assume that I meant what I assume that you assumed that I had meant. Otherwise we would both be silly! Anyways, you are correct!

Question 14: Let's compare the original versions of Rayman 1. Jaguar, PC, PlayStation and Saturn!
For each version, list which of the following statements apply to it:

1. Has Rayman as the main character
2. Special Dream Forest to Band Land transition level in Bongo Hills Part 1
3. The mosquito carrying the spiked fruit in Moskito's Nest Part 3 has a darker color
4. The mosquito fought in Moskito's Nest Part 5 has a darker color
5. Has CD tracks for music
6. Plays the same audio track sequence in all normal levels of each world
7. Special stained glass effects in the battle with Mr. Dark
8. Mr. Dark's Dare / Candy Chateau can be replayed
9. Has Breakout mini-game
10. Has Globox as a super-secret boss

Note: One attempt per participant! In the event no one gets it exactly right, the best answer would get the point after some time which I am yet to determine.

[PluMGMK]

Jaguar: 1, 3, 4, 7?, 8?, 9
PC: 1, 2, 5, 6, 9
PS: 1, 4, 5, 7
Saturn: 1, 4, 5, 7

(inb4 Greengoop gives an answer in which all of them have 10 but none have 1 )

[The Jonster]

Ok.....let's see.

Jaguar: 1, 3?, 4?, 8, 9
PC: 1, 2, 5, 6, 9
PS: 1, 4, 5
Saturn: 1, 4, 5, 7

Oh and for a side-hustle, Globox is only a super-secret boss in Rayman M and Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge

[Greengoop]

Jaguar: 1, 3, 4, 8, 9
PC: 1, 2, 5, 6, 9
PlayStation: 1, 3, 4, 5
Saturn: 1, 4, 5, 7
Life: 10

[The Jonster]

What the hell platform is "Life" supposed to be

[RayGamer99]

Let's see here...

Jaguar: 1, 3, 4, 7?, 8, 9
PC: 1, 2, 5, 6, 9
PS: 1, 4, 5
Saturn: 1, 4, 5, 7

Globox also appears as a super-secret boss in Rayman Raving Rabbids, angry that you forgot to free his kids.

[dr_st]

Well then. Let's cut to the chase.
Everyone who answered got PC and Saturn right. Seems like these are the best known versions.
Jaguar is the only has that has the dark-colored Moskito in part 3. PSX/Saturn only have it in part 5.
Jonster's answer seemed perfect to me... until I remember that PSX does have the stained glass windows flash briefly each time a new transformation of Mr Dark appears. And I didn't specify which specific special effects I had in mind.

So, I'm going to give the point to Plum, because although he was wrong about including Jaguar in #7, his answer was otherwise accurate, and he answered before Jonster.

Question 15: During reverse engineering of Rayman 2, it was found that early builds had a specific path in the Hall of Doors, which was removed in the final version. Which two levels were linked by it, and why did it actually make sense, gameplay-wise?

[PluMGMK]

Fairy Glade and Echoing Caves, which makes perfect sense since the levels are directly connected in-universe via a not-so-secret passage used to get the last cage in the former level.

[dr_st]

Yes! I wish it could have been added with a patch to the PC version at least, but I understood it is broken in some way.

It's time to bring back a true oldskool question, one that should be easy for masters of the game.

Question 16: In Rayman 3 the point counter stops when it reaches 99,999 points, and stops registering collectible items. How is it possible to score over 100,000 points in a level, then?
PluMGMK got 2 answers in a row and should skip this question.

[PluMGMK]

Yes! I wish it could have been added with a patch to the PC version at least, but I understood it is broken in some way.

You can patch it back in with runtime memory modification, but sometimes Rayman falls through the floor when traversing the path. Luckily it's just a visual bug though, navigation continues to work perfectly!

[The Jonster]

Hope I can recall this correctly.

If the combo meter has a large enough amount of points, when it’s added back to the base total it can exceed 100,000, if the base hasn’t already reached that maximum threshold.

[Greengoop]

Jonster is probably right, but maybe it just doesn’t display point tolls higher than that number?

[dr_st]

Jonster is right, as far as I know.

Question 17: There is a total of 246 electoon medals in Rayman Origins. How many of them can you obtain if you refuse to do any Time Challenges?
(once again, in the absence of an accurate answer, the closest one will get the point)

And speaking of Origins, it's time for the bonus question!

Bonus Question 1: Speaking just about PC releases - what do Rayman Origins, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 and a certain US release of Rayman 1 have in common, which differentiates them from most/all other releases on that platform?
