Rayman 2

[Greengoop]

It always seemed funny that he’s the god of darkness but he’s talking to rayman like a gentleman

[dr_st]

Reminds me of the KMG Associates walkthrough that put a health warning on the map just before Space Mama, that it had been known to "send people into fits of passion" resulting in them "breaking their game machines"

Wow, the KMG Associates Rayman site! That takes me back. Almost forgot it existed, and it is a nice one!

I thought Leptys was the god of darkness?

Yeah, that's where I actually learned how to use Rayman Designer properly!

I remember a shockingly low amount of Rayman lore... was there ever a canonical explanation for where all the technology came from in R2/R3? Rayman 1, from what I remember, had no machinery whatsoever. Where did the Robopirates come from all of a sudden?

[The Jonster]

Actually, I don't know to the answer to this question either. For all we know they could be space invaders from outer space!

Hm, that might also explain how the Hoodlums got their technology, maybe they just used whatever was left behind by the Robopirates.

Another thing I just asked myself: Are the canonical heights of characters known? Wondering if Rayman is just really small, or if Globox and Uglette are some big a** toads

[lyndo64]

Everyone knows Globox is the thiccest character in the Rayman lore.

[DaveRattlehead]

Specially for Uglette

[lyndo64]

Specially for Uglette

heck yeah dave

[DaveRattlehead]

I wonder if Uglette was even mentioned in the other games.

[The Jonster]

I think the only other time was in Origins. Except it was unused.

Classic rayman origins moment.

[Shrooblord]

I always had a strong dislike for how Uglette was randomly missing from R3 and how Globox was suddenly chasing cardboard cutouts of other Glob...ettes? Gladies? Globomoiselles?

Anyway, Uglette cute. We need more Uglette -- and her doing more than just crying because her kids are missing (which, like, LEGIT, but then... that's all from her). I know she's in Revolution a bit more but I'm still pretty unaware of most of the stuff that happens in that game.

[The Jonster]

Yeah that never really made sense to me. UNless Globo actually WANTED to cheat on her??

[lyndo64]

My headcanon is that each game is in it's own contained timeline

[Shrooblord]

That would make a lot of things a lot easier in a way... they're all just different multiverses like with Marvel's Earth-1, Earth-616 and Earth-811 etc.? Me like

[lyndo64]

That's Ryemanni's headcanon, the whole serprate universes thing.

Maybe there the same character just reformed?

I'm pretty sure that was mentioned before somewhere. I don't think there's an official source, but the idea definitely entered my mind yesterday during some of the other discussions that were going on. I think it was when we were talking about how the Fairy Glade would be beautiful once all the Pirate bastions were removed – but then maybe they weren't removed, and the Hoodlums just moved in later on. That makes the most logical sense, I think…

You saying Jano == Leptys? There are a few parallels all right, but their appearance is so different, and Jano doesn't need a Sceptre… Or does he? Let me think about this and maybe revive the theology topic later on…

Yeah that never really made sense to me. UNless Globo actually WANTED to cheat on her??

Not really relevant but that reminds me of the "Toots == Monik" theory that came up yesterday. I definitely need to think a bit more about that…

[Greengoop]

I guess he has a staff? Anyway it was just a little headcanon of mine
