Just started playing this game and the first half of the Fairy Council has such a soothing theme to it that I could quite literally fall asleep to it if I wanted to.
Meanwhile Rayman looks like a golden retriever that sometimes scratches the back of his head a lot, which leads me to believe he has fleas... /jk (joking)
Is it your first time playing?

Yes it is, Jonster! I've been meaning to play it.
Managed to get a screenshot of what looks to be a disco party at the worst time lol

I'm so used to that room being red instead of purple.

You can see how it compares amongst different versions on
raym.app
It is a strange difference between the versions, one of the very few graphical differences I can think of when it comes to Rayman 3.

By your response, I assume the room is red in the Xbox version too? The PC version has a red room. I only know the GC version to be purple, so I can guess that it's the Gamecube version Nikol is playing.

Yeah I think it's only GC that's different in this case. There are various differences throughout versions like this, but this one specifically stands out to me when I see the GameCube version.

The Gamecube version is definitely the most different out of all of the other versions, theres all of the GBA stuff of course, but there are many smaller ones, one weird difference that always sticks out in my mind is the menu, it's more colorful and has foliage. Anyone know why?

If I remember correctly, the GameCube version launched a month earlier as part of a temporary exclusivity agreement. It could be that all versions originally had this foliage and when they decided to remove it, it was too late for the GameCube version. Or maybe the codebases split at an earlier point and it was only added to one of them?

I won't lie, I feel like Rayman's model in Rayman 3 looks more dog-like lmao

Here's a curious difference about the menu in the GC version. When you load a game you don't automatically jump into the game. You get taken into another menu where you can access the bonuses you got in that file (like the arcade, cinematics, extras).

In the PC version, the same happens if you load a game where you are not in the middle of a level.

Unlocked the Heavy Metal Fist, but my only complaint is how much time you have with it, like it takes like 30 seconds to have full speed and half of the timer is already gone lol

That's probably a good change, if you just wanna play 2D Madness that'll save you a few steps

Indeed. Actually the most annoying is that when the start of the segment you saved at has an unskippable cutscene. You are forced to watch it before getting to the menu.

The real final boss of R3 was Murfy explaining the combo system.
Is there a mod that lets you skip cutscenes? That would give me some incentive to replay it again
