Rayman Pirate-Community

Well, I sucked at the game badly enough as a kid to have the gems revealed to me this way more than once

I'll give this another day, if nobody has a shot by then I'll move on...

No good? Well, the answer is SBTC1. There are gems hidden in the back of the ship, and if you get a Game Over, the ship sinks, but they don't sink with it.

Question 12: Identify a place in Rayman 3 where the Shock Rocket must be used, but you have to walk away from the can before launching the rocket.

I'd say in TOTL2, where you have to hit the cage that's behind bars. The switch to remove the bars is a short distance away from the can so you have to walk to it and aim quickly.

Yes!

Question 14: Where in Rayman 2 can you get a Try Again that doesn't send you all the way back to the beginning of the map?

I suppose you could mean the fight with Jano? It follows the chase sequence immediately with no transition, but if you get a "Try Again" you get spawned at the beginning of the fight, not at the beginning of the chase.

I actually had TOTA2 in mind, which contains several checkpoints that act even on a Try Again, but it seems that's also a valid example, so you get the point!

Question 16: (dr_st cannot answer) Where in Rayman 3 do you get only 10 points for defeating a Hoodblaster?

I'd say in the last section against Reflux.

Naturally!

Question 17: Which cancelled (or unrecognizably reformulated) spinoff game from the mid-2000s was to feature Dark Rayman as an antagonist?

Are you perhaps talking about the Rayman Raving Rabbids original prototype (a.k.a. Rayman 4)?

Not quite...

Not sure about this, but I can only think about an early production of Rayman Origins (if there was even a known early development version of this game).
Edit: I know it's from 2011 but anyway, let's give it a try

That's not the one either!

Rayman Raving Rabbids for the DS?

Exactly!

Question 18: Give an example of something in Rayman 3 that can be punched but that doesn't get a red circle and arrow drawn on it to indicate this.

Well, the turtles, for start...

I probably should have made that one harder!
