Well, that they do, but it is not what I had in mind. I am looking for something unique (as far as I know) to the PC version. I will clarify the question. You may reanswer.

Question 17: Specifically in the PC version of Rayman 1, other than their identical appearance, what other aspect may suggest that the mosquitoes fought in Anguish Lagoon and in Moskito's Nest are one and the same?

Well, I only have in mind they're colored the same way, but that's implied in "identical appearance", so no idea lol.

Neither do I! The identical appearance is the only specificity of the PC version that relates to Bzzit I can think of.

The appearance is indeed a far stronger sign. I'm referring to something fairly subtle, almost technical. I would say, if not for the identical appearance, this sign would not, on its own, substantiate the "single mosquito" claim. However, taken together, it would strengthen this feeling for anyone playing the PC version.

At the same time it is very obvious. Another hint - it is about something in Anguish Lagoon, not in Moskito's Nest.

If that is not giving it away - nothing will. I think I'll give it another day and then move on.

The fact that they've the same battle music?

Yes, darn it.

And I bet you knew it to be the answer all along.

The PC is the only one of the original versions that plays the boss theme from Moskito's Nest in Anguish Lagoon.

All the late (handheld/mobile) ports actually use the same music (and identical appearance) for the two battles, but the track is different for each port. Advance uses the Anguish Lagoon flight theme. Classic uses the Anguish Lagoon battle theme, and DSi uses Moskito's Nest battle theme, like the PC. But I didn't realize that until recently. I suppose I should have framed the question better. Oh well.

Since Plum is running away with it, and can win it basically with the next answer - I think it's time to ask something HARD. Yeah, right

Question 18: In Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, which characters occupy the initial 3 highscore slots for the minigames?

I didn't actually know the answer at all until you said "almost technical". Then all the work I had done on the soundtrack made it come to me!

As for this question, isn't it Globox, Ly and Murfy? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else...

Tbh I would have thought about everything but the music lol. Nice one Plum.
As for the question, I'll say Globox, Murfy and Betilla. Just saying something different and hoping to be lucky lol.

It is indeed Globox, Betilla and Murfy (see example screenshot).
Answered much faster than I believed.

Question 19: According to some supplementary material, what were the Heroes in Rayman Origins planning to do with the Mockingbird? Precise answer required.

Seems some more hints are in order?

Question 19: According to some supplementary material included in various Collector's Editions, what were the Heroes in Rayman Origins planning to do with the Mockingbird? Precise answer required.

Steal its eggs, maybe?

That would have been a nice homage to Angry Birds, but - no.

Too bad! I'm curious as to what the actual answer is, then.

Well, it's been almost a week. I'll give it a little but more time until tomorrow and then move on. Anyone can (re)answer.

OK, well, the answer was given in The Art of Rayman Origins artbook which was included with the Collector's Edition.
As you can see, the plan was to cook and eat it on Thanksgiving.

Question 20: Describe two different levels titled "Run for your Life" in two different games.

In Rayman Legends, you run from the fire to rescue one of the princesses. In Rayman Jungle Run, that level isn't even in the same world and in this case you're running from a monster (Carnivora?).

That is accurate!

Question 21: Name three portable/handheld games where Ly appears.

If portable games mean games for PSP, Nintendo DS and similars, then I'd say Rayman 2 (GameBoy Color), Rayman 3 (GameBoy Advance) and Rayman Raving Rabbids (GameBoy Advance). Not very sure about the last one but here we go.

That is correct. Now it's shaping up as a very close fight between Plum and Dave! But Dave cannot answer the next one now.

And while on the subject of Ly and portable games...

Question 22: What is Ly's role in Rayman Raving Rabbids (Gameboy Advance)?

DaveRattlehead got two points in a row and should skip this question.
