This reference to Mr Dark’s defeat occuring after Rayman’s first appearance on the shore seems to place the events of R1 after his discovery. This raises further questions (eg, Why were the fishermen amazed by his limblessness when they lived in a world populated by limbless creatures? Why did they not react to Mr Dark in a similar way?). I spent a while coming up with complex theories to explain these apparent inconsistencies (the valley and the Glade as distinct locations between which travel is occasionally possible), but ultimately I find that RO’s retconning results in a more coherent story.

Rayman is a unique character of unknown origin.

No wise man or magician can say by what twist of fate or whim of the gods Rayman came to appear at the Glade of Dreams.

All we know of him comes from the fishermen on the Sea of Lums. After a particularly stormy night they found him sleeping peacefully in the shade of a palm tree. Frightened by this strange creature from the sea, they called on the people of the forest, the skies and the waters for help. And the sun had not yet reached the zenith when a host of beings, each one more bizarre than the next, came tumbling over the violet sand dunes. They watched him for a long time. “What kind of a man can he be who has neither legs nor arms?”, they asked one another. “Can he possibly be alive?” wondered one of them when Rayman stretched and yawned loudly.

It didn't take Rayman long to convince the people of the Glade of Dreams of his good intentions. His energy and good humour, his fantastical powers and love of life and nature won over even the most distrustful of creatures. And when he triumphed over the evil Mister Dark, the truth was undeniable: Rayman was the bravest of them all, the ideal hero, the man for whom friendship and laughter are more important than anything else, for whom the greatest victory is measured by the extent of the celebrations that follow it.

A series of animated short movies based on Raving Rabbids, itself a spin-off from the Rayman franchise, is also in development.

Few of my friends are Rayman fans and one of my friends who is a big Rayman fan lives quite a long way from me. We were super phsyched about co-op for origins but now DEVASTATED we can't play together D:. Anyone think They'll end up putting online support in?
