That is very debatable. I thought that he used magic to make clones

Well, the health bar is a rather clear indication, but if you ignore it, it sure opens the door to many other interpretations.

Yes, meanwhile, the poor, poor, Moskitos are getting no love from anybody! I'd vote for them but I already chose Mr. Dark and the "lazy old scorpion" :P

What do you mean by that? The fact that his health instantly regenerates?

The fact that the icon next to the health bar represents Mr Dark, not the hybrids. The Jaguar version makes this even more explicit by having one big health bar instead of three.

That’s a good point but there’s a chance it was just the devs being lazy (which was also evident in the ending)

Lazy devs? I can't believe that. :P

I feel as tho the ending was a bit rushed tho

Also don’t you think this would be a good poll idea: do you think that mr dark transforms into the hybrids? :P

Well, it's a pretty far-fetched assumption that the health bar was designed like this out of pure laziness, and the same thinking could be applied to pretty much any part of the game, but one question you raised that I think is much more relevant for this poll is whether the Magician from Rayman Origins is the same character as the one from the original game. :idea2:

Because he runs away at the end? They make a good team with Razorbeard, then!
Wasn't Andre the only Rayman villian to actually die on screen?

He didn't actually die. He went back to his original red lum self. Of course, he lost most of his personality in the process. Maybe it's like undergoing a lobotomy...

"You know, he's happier now" :hinhin:

On the other hand, Reflux does very clearly die in the same scene, which is moderately upsetting…

I wonder if all that black Lum memory is still there, and his personality could surface again should someone decide to scare the poor red Lum once more...

The only thing upsetting about it for me is that the final fight with Reflux could have been so much better.

It was a close one... Mr Skops and Mr Dark are your favourite Rayman 1 bosses! Maybe we shouldn't say it's Mr Dark, but all of his "minions" :lol:

This poll is going to be a bit different, because it isn't about gameplay, but music! We all have some tracks which remind us of this great gaming franchise, but let's focus on the first tracks you hear when you play the first levels. Our question this week is... Which one of these introductory songs is your favourite one? Listen carefuly and vote. I'll run this poll for 3 extra days. As always, feel free to share your experiences! :)

I went for the introductory song of the original game. :)

I’ve always loved the one from Rayman Legends, so I went with that one. Rayman 2 is a close second though.

For me it's a toss-up between Rayman 3 and Rayman Legends. I'll have to think a bit more about which I prefer…

It's funny though, listening to "First Steps" again, I can now hear the lyrics echoing in my mind! :lol:

I'm not the n1 fan of Rayman Legends soundtrack, but I have to admit that the song is pretty good. Still, my vote is between Rayman 1 and Rayman 3. Although Rayman 2 is my favorite game, I think it's a step below in this specific case.

Sorry for the late reply, you can’t really ping people like that here. ;)

Anyway, that’s a good idea—I’ll consider adding it when the time comes!
