Question 7: In the production release, Moskito's Nest contains the only rising little waterlily in the original game. But during development, this particular platform had at one point an even more unusual feature. What was it?

It was spawned by defeating the flower tentacle?

Not quite spawned, but close... You may reanswer

It appears when the former is defeated?

I'm gonna make a wild guess - maybe the flower tentacle turns into the lilypad?

Oops, meant to respond over the weekend!

I'll accept this. Actually, it descends from an unreachable place to its usual position, which is tantamount to "appearing" (though I can't remember if it's actually off-screen in its initial position )

Question 8: (Hunchman801 cannot answer) Which Sanctuary in Rayman 2 has an unused six-second jingle based on its introductory theme?

There aren't that many of them, so I'll guess Water and Ice?

Not that one!

Maybe the sanctuary of Earth and Fire ?

That's not one of the sanctuaries I'll allow you to check the English names and reanswer...

I don't think the Iron Mountains really count as a sanctuary does it?

Anyways since my favorite was taken I'll guess Rock and Lava.

Exactly! Here it is:

Question 9: If I were to ask for all the slave counts aboard the Buccaneer given in the course of the PC version of Rayman 2, for which one could you not give me a definite number?

Oh, is it the first one? Iirc that one was constantly increasing as the cutscene was rolling.

Of course!

Question 10: (The Jonster cannot answer) What are two places in Rayman 2 where Plums can respawn in bouncing mode, without needing to be shot down from their trees by Rayman's fist?

The second part of The Sanctuary and Stone and Fire, where it spawns above Rayman's starting point and you should catch it before the big ride down the lava stream.

The third(?) part of The Iron Mountains (before the pirate ship ride), where it spawns above the crate in the slime pool.

There’s one by the river of lava in the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire, and another in the Iron Mountains right before Uglette.

Edit: dr_st was faster!

Yes, dr_st has two (and Humch had the same two but that doesn't count )

Bonus Question: There is a third place where plums can spawn in bouncing mode without being shot down. Where is it?

And, to keep things going:
Question 11: Which secret Gems in Rayman 3 are revealed when you get a Game Over, if you didn't discover them yourself through normal gameplay?

I'll guess that the third plum is the one you get after defeating the mini-Jano at the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire.

I don't have a guess for the main question though.

Exactly! The plum spawns in bouncing mode when you defeat the mini-Jano, and if you lose that one then a new one spawns from the tree, again in bouncing mode!

As a reminder:
Question 11: Which secret Gems in Rayman 3 are revealed when you get a Game Over, if you didn't discover them yourself through normal gameplay?

You'd have to try quite hard to get a game over in Rayman 3, wouldn't you? At least I don't remember such a situation.
