When I was a kid I was almost the whole time visiting it, it was a really awesome website. Ubisoft shouldn't have canceled it. :tssk:

Stacey, you can partially visit it with the WayBack Machine. :)

It's a shame we didn't have internet connection at our house that time.. had to reserve a computer from a library for an hour if I wanted to use it. But yeah, sometimes my mum had to sit next to me and translate me some of the obscure info such as that one of Rayman's hobbies was mountain climbing? 8'D I've felt a bit sorry for her afterwards.

Wait, mountain climbing? In RaymanWorld?

I don't remember to read that anywhere.

Yeah, there was this section which had an animation of Rayman taking off with his helicopter, and some short info about him was written right next to it? :o

Edit: here http://web.archive.org/web/200104110429 ... k/ray.php3 "rock climbing." That must be the word I was looking for :P As for it being a hobby, that must be something I've just misunderstood so never mind my blabbing.

There was a link to RaymanWorld on my old Rayman 2 PS1 case, unfortunately, by the time I got internet, RaymanZone had replaced it, but on the bright side I saw it at it's beginning, in it's prime.

So I just thought I'd say that I got the GOG.com version of Rayman 2, and it runs perfectly on my W7 64-bit computers (so far).

I once cheated in the game with a cheat which I thought would give me the Golden Fist ("goldenfist" was the cheat) but instead it upgraded my blue fist into the chargable yellow one - thus destroying the cutscene in the Canopy. Yeah. Cheating has bad results in R2.

Haha yeah I don't really mind cheating as long as it doesn't spoil or ruin the game. If it's a funny cheat, like 'turn all human NPCs into edible zombie-cheeses', then I'm already tappin' in the cheatcode. If it's one like 'do this and you'll win the rest of the game in five secs' I'll be staring at the cheat like :| and then I'd throw away the browser displaying it. That's right. I throw away the browser.

I've been running FRAPS on my PC version of Rayman 2, and I've noticed that the game Alternates between 60 to 30 FPS on a whim, does anyone know how to keep it at 60?

It is impossible. The PC version was always like that. However the Dreamcast version surprised me because it was constantly fluid into the 60 frames per second.

I was playing Rayman 2 again, and I played the Fairy Glade, I noticed that the last part of the first level (with the pump pumping pollutants into the water) is directly underneath the first part of the level (where you enter), so, is the Rayman universe that fantastic that passageways can directly lead to other places and make them look seemingly beneath another place and retain it's sky?

Well, as you go towards that new place, that is indeed situated lower than the previous location, you travel down a horizontally long tunnel. It could well be that Rayman travels just underneath the walls of the previous location - even if they do look like they're made of solid rock that should indeed go down several feet into the ground, which would mean the passage to that pump area would be blocked.

I have a question: Are the worlds from Rayman 2 and Rayman 3 connected? The world map from Rayman 2 covers all of the island.

I believe so, The Fairy Council kinda glues that connection into place.

The one shift that I could never get my head around was the one between the upper and lower levels of Globox’s House. At the top, you’re on a sunny cliff with a vast forest far below you. But take a quick ride down the well and you find yourself on a stormy beach, facing an ocean that stretches as far as the horizon.
