Rayman himself

[Hunchman801]

We already have a topic about it: Rayman's age. You will notice that young members tend to think Rayman is young as well, and vice versa.

[CLARK1]

i love rayman especially on the begining of the second one it brings back memorys of wen i was still younger and all my freinds were with me. and now i remember all of that wen i hear or see that intro. rayman has such an affect on me

[El Dango]

You will notice that young members tend to think Rayman is young as well, and vice versa.

Rayman: 9
Rayman 2: 13
Rayman M: 14
Rayman 3: 16

Nothing to do with my age.
Okay, i admit that it's around my age, but it has always been like that.
Someone wrote he was one year in R1, but he didn't wear a diper or anything.

[Holy Crap]

There were many other reasons against him being so young too.

[El Dango]

Yeah, like the fact that he could walk and talk and... stalk...

I'm not saying people think Rayman is as old as them though. I still think you prove my point

[El Dango]

So, you're saying 80 years old will think he's 75 or something like that?

[spiraldoor]

In the DOS version, if you leave him alone long enough he says stuff like "Hey - you!", and "I'm waaaiiit-ing!", and it sounds like a man's voice to me.

Tarayzan, the Musician and Joe all have some dialogue, too.

[Joshua822]

In Rayman 1 he looks like 6/7 years old.

It doesn't have to be a linear function

[Holy Crap]

In Rayman 1 he looks like 6/7 years old.

And yet he is as tall as adults.

[Xenon]

No he isn't! Unless his surroundings are extra-ordinarily large, I'd say he would be no taller than 50cm.

I mean, have you ever seen a flower that is quintuple the size of you?

[Holy Crap]

He's as tall as the Magician and the musician, and I assume they are adults. Besides, Rayman is short for the same reason dwarves are short, because there is less between the feet and torso than usual. But compared to the other limbless people, Rayman is as tall as adults. As for the flowers, there are lots of cartoony games with humongous flowers.

[Xenon]

Ah, I thought you were comparing his size with that of a typical human being. Okay.

But still, how can you judge whether he's of similar size to an adult of his beings? He's the only member of his species. You have no others to compare him with.

[Hunchman801]

There are giant music instruments, giant erasers and giant cakes in Rayman's world. Why couldn't there be giant flowers? And anyway, they're much bigger than most of the trees: if Rayman is a dwarf, then the game is probably set in a bonsai garden.

He's the same size as Tarayzan and the Musician.

But that still doesn't give you measurements of any kind; it's all about assumption. We can assume that the flowers are of similar size to those on planet Earth. On the contrary, we can assume that the flowers are humungous, like other objects in Rayman 1. There's no evidence to suggest either theory is correct.

He's the same size as Tarayzan and the Musician.

I'll back down on this one. Good point.

The Musician's family

The Musician's wife and child prove that he is an adult.

There's no evidence, but don't you think the game is much more likely to feature giant flowers than dwarf trees?

[El Dango]

Wow! I never noticed how tall he is compared to the kid.

[spiraldoor]

Hey, that's weird. I made a post here, but...it's gone...
