Rayman wiki amendments (glitches section)

Post by Gamerking »

Known Glitches

Near the end of the first phase, the rock dispensing vending machine may not produce a rock, which is required to unlock the door to proceed. How this glitch is triggered is still not known: however, one way is to simply play the game without saving or turning off the console and when the user reaches this point, the glitch should have taken effect. The only known solution is for the user to reset the console and load the most recent save point they have.
DOTK: IIRC, the rock dispenser will only activate if you have a minimum amount of life.

Also in the longest shortcut a glitch exists where jumping into the the plate for the hidden room while it is spinning locks rayman in a black room. You can see his fists but you cannot escape or get back to the level.

In the summit beyond the clouds you can skip an entire section of the game. Can't remember exactly but you are on one side of the hill and you must make it to the other. Normally you go the the bottom and earn a blue power however with the right timing you can helicopter right over. Edit part two can be skipped

Also each level refers to a "murphy" score. What is this exactly?

I think the 'Murfy Score' is the score needed to get yourself a smiley Murfy stamp on the level menu.

I always thought they were dead eggs, from which the zombie chickens can hatch.

I feel like this was meant to say "undead" eggs. :mrgreen:

Having said that I definitely remember someone telling me there was a rather annoying glitch with the dispenser at the end of DOTK1 that would require you to start over so there's that.

So the English manual calls them "dead eggs", but I just checked the French manual and it just says "des œufs étranges", which just means "strange eggs". Either way, I reckon those eggs are what you use to weigh down the buttons in DOTK!

Well yes they are! I just thought it was really strange how you referred to them as dead eggs (no offense), strange eggs sounds much better.

Well I was just quoting the English Rayman 2 manual, which I had studied extensively as a young child :hap:

Funnily enough this is actually one of my oldest memories in playing Rayman 3. Back on the PS2 on my first ever run, that dispenser didn't dispense, so the egg needed to finish the level didn't spawn. Thus requiring a restart of the level.

To this day I don't know if anyone's found out why that happens.

Probably a buffer overflow somewhere, since I've heard it's most likely on uninterrupted playthroughs (?)
