TTQ - Season 146 - RayGamer99

[RayGamer99]

Bonus question: Ginger-Bunny-Bread?

[The Jonster]

OK, well then I'm clueless – why did we make that the default version anyway

Well, somebody did at any rate because this rule exists:

............................. When referring to games with various versions, be sure to note which version you're referring to, otherwise by default, Rayman 1 will refer to its PS1 version, Rayman 2 will refer to its Dreamcast version, and Rayman 3 will refer to its PC version.

And if i went back further, even the older ruleset has some rule like this!
(I don't feel like viewing thousands of posts for the original, so I'll just use this snippet here...)

............................. Refer to the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2 and the PC version of Rayman 3 when asking questions which vary upon versions

Not sure who decided to use these specific versions as defaults, maybe because at the time they were labelled as the supposed "definitve versions?" I dunno.

...

I suppose it would be better to remove that last part and force people to identify which game they're talking about. I have to admit that I was being a little sneaky utilizing this rule... heh.


Bonus Question 2
Clue #1: This level comes from a spinoff game.
Clue #2: The level appears past the halfway point of the game.
Clue #3: Only 1 type of enemy can be found in this level.
Clue #4: (700 Tings): This level requires Rayman to utilize a power similar to the Accumulation items from Rayman Revolution.

Edit: Oops, I'm on a new page. Need to add the current question here...

Question 31: Here is a track from Rayman 2. Your job is to tell me all the locations where either section of this track can play. Be specific (as in, location, and what parts/phases of the location) when giving your answer!

Edit2:

Am I allowed to ask a question? Do rabbids count as spin off in this case?

To answer your question, our of the Rabbids games, I say only Rabbids 1, Rabbids 2, and TV Party count as spin-offs. Anything from Rabbids Go Home onwards is entirely separated from the Rayman series as a whole.

[PluMGMK]

Hey, I'm sure I implicitly (or maybe even explicitly) agreed to that back when I owned this thread for a while so I can't really complain I don't think I realized how many differences there are!

[RayGamer99]

Main question: I have no idea.
Bonus question: Reflux's Lair?

[Rsandee]

The walk of Power?

[Greengoop]

Bonus Question: Heart Of The World?

[The Jonster]

Hey, I'm sure I implicitly (or maybe even explicitly) agreed to that back when I owned this thread for a while so I can't really complain I don't think I realized how many differences there are!

You know, I can only think of one person off the top of my head who has played through the Dreamcast version before. Too bad he's not as active lately, but if he showed up it would be amazing if he got this question correctly, given the track. But otherwise I'm tempted to make an exception...just cuz I feel generous lately.

[dr_st]

TBH, Plum deserves the point, because he answered this question the same way the previous time you asked it.

[The Jonster]

Well nobody knew the exact answer then either so I thought I'd give it another shot. Ah well so be it then, I'll give the point anyway since the answer is technically correct in the PC version.

Bonus Question 2
Clue #1: This level comes from a spinoff game.
Clue #2: The level appears past the halfway point of the game.
Clue #3: Only 1 type of enemy can be found in this level.
Clue #4: This level requires Rayman to utilize a power similar to the Accumulation items from Rayman Revolution.
Clue #5 (600 Tings): The two tracks that play in this level sound similar to certain tracks in Rayman 2.

Question 32: Throughout each level in Rayman Hoodlums' Revenge (aside from boss levels), Rayman or Globox can access the map using the Start button. However the following levels do not have any maps. Tell me, what do these levels have in common?

- Vertiginous Riddle
- Sulphurous Sea
- Cloudy Cache
- Scalding Cascade
- Melee Mayhem

[dr_st]

These are all bonus levels, unlockable by collecting a certain number of lums, cages or Murfy stamps. Their completion is not mandatory to get to the end of the game. I also believe none of them contains any Teensy cages.

[The Jonster]

Yes that is correct! They are in fact, all bonus levels that need to be unlocked by collecting a certain amount of lums/Teensy cages/Murfy stamps. Could this be the final question??? Btw, the next clue for this bonus so anyone can answer that again.

Question 33: The sanctuaries from Rayman 2 are based off the core elements: Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. Your job is to tell me which sanctuary corresponds to which element, if any, and do the same for the sanctuary bosses.

[Master]

Ha now this is interesting, I'm not sure if there is an "official" answer to this, it feels like there might be some subjectivity on this, but I'll give my thoughts.

Water. Probably the most straightforward, Axel and The Sanctuary of Water and Ice.

Fire. Now I personally think it's the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire, but I think Foutch probably fits the elemental vibe a lot better given he actually goes on the offense shooting literal fire at you.

Earth, The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava. While it has some overlap with the FIre thematic, the location in general feels a lot more...Earthy. If that makes sense? The structures in Rock and Lava, while constructed, feel more organic and natural, compared to the giant carved stone aesthetic in Stone and Fire. Bosswise though? Umber. He's made purely of Stone and takes a more passive approach in his "battle," which I think befits the more Earthlike ideal.

Air. Grolem 13, Iron Mountains/Sanctuary of Air. Again, you fight him in the clouds with clouds. And the Iron Mountains is pretty high up in the...air. Kinda feels like it fits the motif best.

[RayGamer99]

Main question: I’m 95% sure Master got it right. (The Stone/Fire and Rock/Lava thing is more subjective, like he said)
Bonus question: Den of Rocky? (Wild guess, because I haven’t went past the halfway point yet in Rayman 3 GBA)

[Master]

Yeah I'll be interested to see what the correct answer is to this one

And on that topic, I forgot to ask, what was the expected answer for the playing of "Pirate Machinery 1?" I was racking my brain trying to remember where else it could have played in the Dreamcast version but my mind was coming up blank, I couldn't remember it showing up in any of the extra minigames, for instance.

[The Jonster]

Master's answer is what I believe to be correct. I'm actually ok with air being blank tbh, since there is no sanctuary based on air and the only instance of a sanctuary boss corresponding to this element is the Grolem 13 in Revolution. So barring that part, the answer is still good enough. Although I realise I might have been a little too hasty before properly checking more sources for this question (which I was inspired by from certain conversations I had read about the temples in the Rayman 2 thread, such as this one). Like you guys have said, the Fire/Lava and Stone/Rock sanctuaries are subjective. Forgive me for being a little too impulsive there.

RayGamer's bonus answer is still wrong, though considering that someone is close to 10 points, I'm going to give another clue.

Question 34: In Rayman 3, name all the places where Rayman can find both a Lockjaw and a Vortex laser-washing powerup. Looking for you guys to give me the level and section number, since there are multiple sections that have both in a level.

Yeah I'll be interested to see what the correct answer is to this one

And on that topic, I forgot to ask, what was the expected answer for the playing of "Pirate Machinery 1?" I was racking my brain trying to remember where else it could have played in the Dreamcast version but my mind was coming up blank, I couldn't remember it showing up in any of the extra minigames, for instance.

The two places that Plum was missing in his answer was The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava and Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava. Most other versions, have just the one purple Henchman800 sleeping in front of the entrance. The Dreamcast version adds more Henchmen800 to both levels, which is weird since Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava had none to begin with. As if that wasn't bizarre enough, all the Robo-Pirates on the inside use the same encounter theme the first Robo-Pirate at the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire uses, which is Pirate Machinery. So if you ever play this version, don't be caught off guard when you suddenly hear different music that sounds very outlandish compared to the environment.

[PluMGMK]

Ah yes, they effed that up then… It makes no sense to have henchmen Beneath the Sanctuary (although I guess by that logic there shouldn't be any cages either? ). Suddenly Dreamcast doesn't feel so definitive

[The Jonster]

If we went with that, then the cage inside the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire is also confusing, given how there were no Robo-PIrates inside the other 2 sanctuaries themselves. More untold mysteries....

[Greengoop]

Bonus Question: The Mettleworks?

[The Jonster]

That's the right answer, congrats! So for answering the bonus question correctly up to this point you'll get 400 Tings.
Now, back to the main question....
