You should only click the Submit button once. Clicking multiple times doesn't make it go any faster.

Anyway, I believe we are all agreed that Rayman is an adult in all of his games, including R1?

Not really--he's not human, so he won't age like one. (As I said many times before, and Hunchman801 even quoted an important figure in the series' development who said the same) Though I really think that whatever it could be, Rayman's different look throughout the games only mirrors the style of the games. Rayman 1 was a very cutesy, pastel-colored kinda thing and Rayman's sprites reflected that, then for Rayman 2, when it toughened up its look, so did Rayman in his own makeover. (He's not aging to me, he's just going with the fads.) His age doesn't really matter I think, since I believe it doesn't change anyways--or insubstantially if any change at all.

Animals don't age the same way as humans do though. Some tortoises for example age much slower and end up living for about 200 years, whereas a dog ages about 7 times faster than a human.

Well, Rayman's voice in the second game was deep so there's no way he could only be twelve years old. That is, assuming his voice box develops at the same rate as a human being's.

Rayman's voice was broke even in the beginning of the first game.

It's an assumption indeed but there's so many variables. I presuppose his ageing accords to a human's in every way, but I could be incredibly wrong.

The short and short of it is, I'm right XD No, the short and short of it is we will never know. Maybe if Michel Ancel hosts a quiz show named Ask Ancel we could find out, but as of now, Pokolus only knows.
