Rayman Glitches

[Danone]

Yay! what is the code of the lums race :

[Haruka]

That's freaky.

Maybe you need to get a new Memory Card and game disk.

I remember encountering some glitches myself...
I'll start from the most recent one...

1. Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc;

I think that was the last part of The Longest Shortcut...

The very beginning of Summit Beyond the Clouds(sp?).
This strange layer appears randomly at the beginning of the level and lasts for the remaining of the gameplay...
Solution: Sometimes quiting the game and entering it works (by quiting I mean playing other minigames/doing whatever else that doesn't have anything in common with the level and causes quiting the game from that savestate).
(during the gameplay it also happened to me in Razoff's mansion, the underwater level and in Hoodlum's HQ [twice] - that's how I can assume there's no real pattern of when that may occur)

2. Rayman M;
[no picture]
Only my niece can perform that glitch - I can't...
I think it happens in the Nebula Tower - the final part of the lap (with those skeleton things).
If you get hit by any of the skeleton tails while climbing up the next platform at the right moment, your character might end up "floating" (the character freezes in the falling animation). You can move around with the character in such state but only on that platform. After:
- falling down;
- getting hit by that thing again;
- pressing the jump button several times; the character goes back to normal. (I don't remember if hitting the optimalisation button would do anything)

3. Either "Amazing learning with Rayman" or "Maths and English with Rayman" (don't remember which one but I think it can happen in both);
[no picture again - sorry]
You may know or not that Rayman can't learn how to run in these games - he can do that in the last level because of Mr. Dark casting a spell in certain point of said level, though. Once the spell ends, he's unable to run again...
If I remember correctly, when you hit the action button while the spell ends, you might be able to make Rayman run anytime you want with said button.
Rayman won't be able to perform the grimace thing during the glitch/bug and it ends with the end of the level...

I was re-playing RR when I got to the COBD. Ssssam kindly stopped and there were two Raymen, one where he should be dropped off and another still skiing on Ssssam. This happened for a second before it stopped.

I just reminded myself about something...
Rayman Raving Rabbids...
There are two glitches/bugs in the game:
- the dancing minigames:
At one point of gameplay something makes the rabbids pattern (you know, the sequence in which you have to press right buttons at right timing) go off-sync - sometimes the rabbids start appearing during the intro, when Rayman just appears (and you have no control over him yet), sometimes it happens at one point of the stage...

I guess it might be because of the computer specifications - I'd have to play any of the console versions to confirm that...

- the choir minigame:
I remember slaping the rabbids which wasn't 'going rabid' quite a few times in that game. One time it was so unfortunate that it happened some seconds before the end of the minigame. When I tried to play from the start, something unusual happened - the intro sequence glitched in such a way I had to turn the whole game off and on... Normally in the intro it would be demonstrated that you had to slap the rabbit which was singing badly - in the glitched version the hand was slapping the wrong rabbit. Right after that 'demonstration' ended, instead of the choir's usual singing, the stayed silent for a second just to laugh the next one. The game tells me to try again... So I tried again - same sequence, same happening... Oh, and there was weird text telling me "press b16 to toggle the camera" or something like that while they were laughing at my failure... I don't remember what exactly was written...

I have totally no clue as to what might have caused this thing to occur

The game really hates me, doesn't it?

(FYI, it wasn't an April Fools joke)

After re-playing RR on my old PS3, I have determined, using a PS3, it is impossible to beat the game.
Extreme lag happens in the following three parts of the game (there may be more that I don't know about):
The Cave of Bad Dreams (also known as The Cave of Lag Dreams): When you're helicoptering towards a tower of bones, the game starts lagging up and you reach the bottom and die a lot quicker.
The Precipice: (also known as The Preci-piss-awful-lagginess): At one point, a bridge swivels around. A lot of lag can make this area quite annoying.
The Pirate Mines (also known as The Irate Mines): Before you even enter the level, jumping on the mine cart is a 1-way ticket to doom. Rayman will not get out of the mine cart when it goes in the tunnel or comes back out. He will be stuck there forever. Even if you don't enter the mines in the first place, you will have to sooner or later.

Okay, so I just experienced a Rayman Designer glitch (for real this time). I made a Candy Chateau level and put a Water clown in. However when I went to play to the level I noticed a water clown that was in mid air for no reason acting as if it were on the ground. I assumed I had accidently put it there. However, when I walked forwards I found the original clown I had placed. After defeating this one I turned back not only to find the floating clown, but yet another one! An infestation of clowns!



Very strange...

[Danone]

its not a glitch but this hapenned when I press the turbo button of my joypad

[CheatCat]

Rayman have drink to mush coffee!

In Rayman DS and 3D Sssssam disappears in the end cutscene of The Marshes of Awakening but only when replaying. Yes, it is on Raywiki, I put it there.

You're right, the first one's not a glitch or anything like that!

Rayman's just ice skating

Lol, very right

More like just one double-shot espresso I used to have some third party PS2 controllers with turbo buttons but they didn't even work I think. I do now have SpongeBob and Patrick PS2 controllers, not sure if they have turbos but I could have a look. Edit: they do

If there's somebody who would like to know what happened in a certain video...
And I can confirm that it happens in the PC version of said game!
For some freaky reason Rayman transformed into that strange line [the death sequence didn't end] (I can provide better screenshots to confirm that) after losing all the health (which means he fell into the lava 6 times, or something like that). I know because that happened to me today...

I don't remember anymore whether it's common knowledge or not, but you can perform in the PC and DC(?) versions of Rayman 2 the 'ultimate glitch' (Rayman flying with an invisible barrel) in The Tomb of the Ancients... (I really want to know - are there in the PC version more pirates that come in by using a balloon?)

In The Tomb of the Ancients something strange happened - (in the part where the Robo-Pirate throws barrels while you can jump from one huge barrel to another) just when I thought that the pirate wouldn't throw a barrel directly at Rayman I stopped moving him - Ray was on the edge of that barrel. I was really surprised when the Pirate just happened to hit him with keg and instead of Rayman touching the water and playing the death sequence, he just fell through it! I freaked out big time when I didn't know what to do...

[Rayman fan2000]

I wonder why I always have the bad glitches, and the games i buy are brand new and they still happened.

[Wiiola]

That's a good question... And I don't have any good answer for it...

[Electoon]

Wish I'd taken picture evidence for this one

I was playing a level of Rayman By His Fans where Mr. Dark shrinks Rayman. But instead of shrinking him, Rayman was turned into a garbled mess of corrupt sprites which then moved down diagonally across the level until it was stuck on the edge. I couldn't get this to happen again. Very strange.....

Not sure if it counts as a glitch or just something weird happened to my graphics card, but here's a couple of screencaps...

First one - Razoff's eyes suddenly lack pupils when I try to take a shot in "photo" mode (it happened several times, before I simply started capping video with Fraps)
Second one - the Count jumped into the wall and kept shooting out of there

Sometimes the camera in Rayman 3 (version for PS2) is really... bad.
I wanted to make Rayman stay for as long as possible in the part right before fighting the Reflux (it's supa-easy, just make him jump on a rock that won't fall down) and take some screenshots (which later were saved on my memory card). The first one came out pretty nicely but the other was... Darkness with some sort of light/fog (I'll try to see whether it happens in the PC version or not). I guess it's because the camera is pointing right at the wall which is behind Rayman...

Also, everytime I want to go to the view mode, I can see Rayman's head from the front without his pupils for a split second! This scares me everytime I want to do so...

In the part, where you have to make your way to the top of that big statue (I guess of Leptys), I tried to skip the second platform. I did it but afterwards Rayman 'slipped' out of it for quite a long distance and landed right in front of a Knaaren... Yay...

Somebody posted here a link to a video, which I think got deleted since I can't find it. The video was about the camera 'having a seizure' right after Rayman came to the part before the first doctor. I know what's the case of it. The camera stays for a little longer in the same position and (I think) you can't move the character but you can try to change the position of the camera. Since it's stuck in the same position, that seizure is the result...
