I cannot even rescue Ly on iOS Port. Controlls are terrible in my opinion and I can't play it at all. 3DS port is something I want to buy so I can have Rayman 2 on the go.

At least try to get Rayman 3D the cheapest possible, since this port isn't perfect.

Then you're simply inexperienced with action touch-screen controls. They work very nicely if you can get used to them.

The iOS version is great as for a mobile game, and i guess it is even better than the 3DS. I've tried it but couldn't finish it, as i was playing on a used iPhone 3GS, and we had to sell it because that iPhone wasn't in an acceptable quality for me.
As for the touch controls, get used to it. It took me a while to get used to it too.

I wonder why Gayloft doesn't update the game to look great on the retina display, and why not add achievements and such.

Yeah, I will try to get it for not over $10

I was lurking in the RaymanWorld website and I found this:
On N64, during the end credits, press button Z and at the same time press A and B. You will then be able to pilot the Pirate's Boat thanks to the analog stick.
Isn't this talking about the Menesis?

The Pirate's Boat. Hm. Would this be a Warship? Or... :shock: the Buccanneer!

Someone's gotta find this out quick!

That's what i was thinking, but as soon as i saw it's a pirate boat, i started to wonder if that isn't the escape pod.

So I was playing around in the Dreamcast version of the game when I found something rather interesting, that I don't believe is currently known, and allows you to access 4 of the 6 minigames found on the Dreamcast version, including the exclusive "SPA" minigame :D! Another interesting thing about this is that it gives names to these minigames, and all of these differ from what they are called elsewhere. I found this after seeing some text while looking at some of the games files in a hex editor, and experimenting in game to try to get it to appear.

You can do it by finding a waterfall in the game that you can stand behind (I have tested the two waterfalls in the Woods of Light, the waterfall in Globox Village, and the waterfall in section 3 of Whale Bay). Stand behind the waterfall and press a button 20-30 times (listed below) to gain access to the minigame:

For Lift (LIF dlc): Press the A button 20-30 times.
For Invade (SPA dlc): Press the B button 20-30 times.
For Toile (Weblums): Press the X button 20-30 times.
For Pyram (Pyralums): Press the Y button 20-30 times.

After you have done this, a message will be displayed reading "[MINIGAME] | Bonus Stage | Access Granted" and you'll be transported to the minigame.
The only problem is exiting Lift or Invade will take you to the title screen, and exiting Toile or Pyram will take you to Globox Village (you can use this to get to Globox Village before you have rescued Ly).

Sorry if this has already been discovered. I have searched Google and the forums to try and find if it is known but I haven't found any results. And in case anyone wondered, this doesn't work in Rayman 3D :cry:.

I've uploaded the video, showing the waterfall in Globox Village. Sorry about the awful compression. Link

(Also this is when I wasn't sure which buttons to press, so I just spammed them all).

I am downloading it. I will tell you my opinion on it later when download is done.
EDIT: Nice video. You should make a longer version and do some gameplay too and I recommend uploading this on YouTube.

Nicely done, RibShark! For your findings, I think it is only fair that you take these 250 tings, well done indeed!
Once again, it surprises me that hidden goodies are still found today, it's only been about two years since the Tomb of the Ancients secret was uncovered.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was another way to access the Menezis minigame in the Dreamcast version, (possibly something at the end of the credits) as all other minigames are accessible without DLC now. I have found some other rather strange strings in some of the level binary's, such as "ganesh." and "dieu des mimis" in section 1 of the Sanctuary of Water and Ice, "cigale and ritchy's secret place" in section 1 of Tomb of the Ancients, and "atari forever" and "www.atari-history.com" (someone likes atari) in the level NAVE_20 (which level that is I am unsure, but it is section 3), as well as a lot of stuff (some refering to cheats, such as cheatmurfy (also all the PS2 cheat menu items are in there!)) in a file called FIX.DAT.

And thanks very much for the tings :P !
