Rayman Origins speedrunning

[Master]

I'm guessing any evidence of tampering, even if it's a simple visual modification, is enough cause for concern for there to be potential unknown mods? And I would imagine Speedrun.com would be erring on the side of caution in which case?

Dashing Thru the Snow: Time Trial in 34s by GiantChicken - 1st place

Submitted: 21/02/2026

Beat Bugs!!! Always saw all of his times other than the one on Port 'O Panic as essentially unbeatable for me so finally getting one past him was extremely hype for me! This level is genuinely really fun, especially for a RO level, but it's also really tight. I got ~5-8 35's before this, and a couple dozen more runs on pace to the final screen. Im not sure if I'll do any other runs right now for the time being, but it's nice to see im not shit at this game after not touching it for half a year. I <3 Origins!!!

Seeing this pop up here reminds me that I should probably get my username changed to Giant Chicken here soon... Maybe I'll do it once I make an actual signature
(My memorial for the Murfy Fan Club doesn't really count as one lol)

Mystical Munkeys: Time Trial in 01m 15s by GiantChicken - 1st place

Submitted: 04/04/2024

Just realized this run and the run before it is more than 2x as fast as the required time to get the speed trophy. Only way I think I can improve it is by learning how to do yby ups that actually gain height in Rayman Origins.

My first ever Speedrun! I will try to make it faster now.

The name changes, the thumbnails don't.

[Giant Chicken]

Why's the Mystical Munkeys run popping up here again, I submitted it like 2 years ago. Weird.

[Hunchman801]

Maybe some speedrun.com moderator shenanigans? The bot posts approved runs, so maybe it was disapproved and approved again for some reason?

[Giant Chicken]

Ooooh, it's cause I changed the platform from Nintendo DS (which I accidentally set it as), to Xbox. Must've had to be approved all over again.

Watching these runs makes me think I probably never replayed this level. Just played it once.

Any% in 46m 20s by Torsinn - 1st place

welp that was fun

[Giant Chicken]

The reign of Mexico is over, the French have now taken over.

Jokes aside, gg's to Torsinn!

[Hunchman801]

What is even happening? Eric just beat Torsinn's WR in Rayman 2... only for Torsinn to get a new WR in Rayman Origins.

Come to think about, maybe it actually makes sense. You can only speedrun so many games at once after all.

[hoodlumsworld]

GG Torsinn on the rekky!
