'''Rayman''' is the main protagonist of [[Rayman (series)|the video game series of the same name]]. Rayman was originally created in the early 1990s by French video game developer [[Michel Ancel]]. The character made his debut in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], published by [[Ubisoft]] in 1995. With his trademark lack of limbs and [[helicopter]] hair, Rayman has become a popular and recognisable video game character, and [[Rayman (series)|the series]] has continued to grow and develop across numerous platforms up to the present day.

==Description==
===Appearance===
Rayman was originally designed to simply be an athletic character with a full body, but because of complications rendering on game consoles, he was left without arms, legs and a neck – his hands, feet and head float around his body. The manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' gives out a new explanation for Rayman's limblessness: the lack of [[Lum]]s had the consequence of preventing the creation of his limbs. He has a huge round nose, and strawberry-blonde hair which he divides into two fronds (three in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]). He has the ability to use his hair as a [[helicopter]], which lets him glide across large spaces and make soft landings. His eyes are dark blue in colour, though in most official artwork they are coloured black; two pictures in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] showed him with lighter blue eyes. While Rayman is unique in most of the games, other members of [[Rayman's species|his unknown species]] are seen in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], notably [[the Magician]], [[Tarayzan]], [[the Musician]] and the Musician's wife and child.

Rayman is almost always seen in white gloves and a purple torso with [[Rayman's symbol|a mysterious white ring on the chest]], through which he gains new powers from [[Betilla]] the Fairy. [[Rayman's symbol|The symbol]] can also absorb the [[Silver Lum]]s created by the [[Fairy|fairies]], and magically open the pillars containing the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Up until ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he wore a red neckerchief, which was then replaced with a red hood. He also wears shoes that are typically yellow and white, though the actual designs have changed throughout [[Rayman (series)|the series]]. ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' is where he is seen wearing different clothing that has raised a few questions about his ‘limblessness’, as he sometimes looks as if he has knees, such as the [[Skin|disco costume]] with its trousers/pants. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', his ''[[Rayman 3]]'' attire was used, but his hood and shoes are a little different. In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', he wears a new attire. He wears a red bandanna around his hair, a sleeveless brown coat unbuttoned around the bottom alongside his red hood, revealing a white shirt, and has a brown belt around his waist with a gold buckle. His gloves are now brown and fingerless, and his shoes are the same kind [[Assassin Ray]] wears.

===Abilities===
[[File:R2 GlitchKegFly.jpeg|thumb|320px|left|Rayman carrying a [[keg]].]]
[[File:Rayman Bowling level 2 Classic.jpg|thumb|right|class=sprite|Rayman playing bowling in ''[[Rayman Bowling]]''.]]

Rayman is very athletic and shows great gymnastic skills, especially since being given the power to [[Running|run]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], and from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' onwards. He is able to scale wall sides, kick enemies and do monkey bars, and some of his gymnastic skills include handstands, somersaults and back flips. Rayman is also strong enough to carry things such as [[baby Globox]]es, [[Magic Sphere]]s, [[plum]]s and [[keg]]s. He can run while carrying an object in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' if he purchases an optional upgrade at the [[Magic Well]].

Because of his limbless nature, Rayman has the ability, known as the [[telescopic fist]], to shoot his fists as a projectile. The power and range of his punches can be increased by charging them. Rayman can also do this with his feet and throw his torso downwards with the [[bodyshot]]. His body parts appear to be sentient, since his fists can move and think on their own, as shown in the endings of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where his shoe gravitates towards him, and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', where his hands wander off to scare a [[red Lum]].

One of his most iconic powers is his [[Helicopter|helicopter hair]] which allows him to glide short distances. Although he cannot fly on his own, Rayman can ascend upwards if he glides on an air current. A temporary upgrade called the [[Super Helicopter]] allows Rayman to fly indefinitely for an entire level.

Rayman has magic abilities as well. He can shoot orbs of energy out of his hands with the [[magic fist]], and similarily to his regular fist, it can be charged to increase the power output. By hitting a [[purple Lum]] with either his [[magic fist]] or [[telescopic fist]], he can create a tether of energy with his [[grappling fist]]. In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], while Rayman does not have access to the [[magic fist]], he can shoot [[yellow Lum]]s as an attack after collecting them.

Rayman begins as a very poor [[Swimming|swimmer]]; in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], he loses a [[life]] the instant he falls into any body of liquid. By the time of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', he has developed this new skill – although all he can do in this game is a simple dog-paddle. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', he is taught to swim by [[Murfy]] and a [[baby Globox]] at the beginning of the game. In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he is a far more capable [[Swimming|swimmer]]; he can now use his [[helicopter]] hair to propel himself through the water, he can perform athletic underwater backflips, and he no longer seems to require any [[Blue Lum]]s or [[air bubble]]s to breathe beneath the surface. In both ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', he can [[Swimming|swim]] without needing any air like in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', and without use of his [[helicopter]] hair like in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

===Personality===
[[File:R1-Grimace.gif|frame|left|class=sprite|Rayman making a [[grimace]].]]
[[File:Jano Grimace R3 GBA.PNG|frame|class=sprite|right|Rayman taunting [[Jano]].]]

Rayman's true personality is not explored deeply in [[Rayman (series)|the series]], though most of the time he is a cheerful character with a good sense of humour. He is also very helpful, and is willing to take on whatever challenges face him for the sake of the safety and harmony of his world. Sometimes he can be a little childish, especially in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], as he often pulls [[grimace]]s as a form of defence. According to the now defunct '''Rayman's World''' website, he is brave, funny and also highly close to nature. In one interview, developer Natalie Paccard discusses the development of Rayman's personality between the two games: '[[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] was a platform game, ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is an action game. The universe has also evolved a lot, and so has the character. ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is a bit older, able to do more things, and loves a good fight. He is less childish. The game itself includes more action and more tricks.’ In later games, Rayman becomes somewhat self-absorbed, especially in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', as the [[Rabbid]]s start to treat him like a celebrity during his captivity, though he is seen remembering and worrying about the [[baby Globox]]es that he left behind. That however seems to be put behind him as the [[Rabbid]]s continue to harass him in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party]]''. It is revealed through interviews with [[Michel Ancel]] that Rayman was meant to be a bit of a show-off who does not take himself too seriously. This aspect of the character was supposedly overlooked during ''[[Rayman 2]]'' because of [[Ubisoft]]'s focus on the environments of the game. It was in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that [[Ubisoft]] tried to show Rayman's true personality, giving him an updated look to match his newfound attitude and charisma. A ''[[Rayman 3]]'' press release stated that ‘Like his core gaming audience, Rayman as a character has matured and now has a wilder edge, only hinted at in the earlier games.’

[[File:Rayman Origins.png|thumb|320px|left|Rayman blowing [[Betilla]]'s skirt with his [[propeller]] hair.]]
[[File:Shoot for the Stars 21.jpg|320px|thumb|right|Rayman relaxing with his friends.]]

However, in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Rayman seems to have recovered part of his childish personality; he bears a more joyful, careless and impulsive attitude, though he keeps the heroic spirit that characterized him in previous games. Rayman appears to enjoy a good joke, as the description of [[Raybox]] states he painted his skin with the help of Voodoo Mama to prank [[Globox]]. While the trailers and other commercial media described him as a "New Crazy", [[Michel Ancel]] explains Rayman and [[Globox]]'s personality: 'They're the kind of characters who look... stupid, really, but they're not stupid, just simple. And all they really want to do is just focus on doing their job, no matter what.' When ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' was still developed as a prequel, the newborn Rayman was intended to bear a more immature, confused and unintelligent personality, blowing [[Betilla]]'s skirt with his [[propeller]] hair and annoying the magic people; the game was initially focused on Rayman and [[Globox]]'s personalities and how they evolved over time to become the heroes of [[the Glade of Dreams]]; the concept was changed when the game became a sequel.

In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', he is seen with a mostly unchanged personality from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', although it is presented in a more serious tone.

Rayman also appears to like several sports, such as basketball. In ''[[Rayman 2]]'' he will sometimes take his body off and play with it like a basketball whenever he is left idle. Also, in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], if the player decides to continue at the "Game Over" screen, Rayman will throw his body through a basketball net and catch it. In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he seems to also show interest in football, as when he is left idle, he kicks his body around and can also kick [[turtle]]s and [[plum]]s. Other sports that Rayman appears to like are golf, bowling and karting, as ''[[Rayman Golf]]'', ''[[Rayman Bowling]]'' and ''[[Rayman Kart]]'' suggest. One of Rayman's hobbies is painting, which was revealed at a later point in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] and in ''[[Rayman Junior]]''.

===History===
[[File:RaymanLimbs.jpg|thumb|320px|left|An early sketch of Rayman.]]
[[File:Concept art Hamac.png|thumb|320px|right|A drawing of Rayman relaxing on a hammock.]]

Rayman is the creation of French video game developer [[Michel Ancel]], who was born in 1972. Around 1980, the eight-year-old [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] began playing video games. Five years later, he began to create his own simple logic games, featuring characters that he invented himself. He often sketched character concepts on table corners, and around 1992, he came up with his favourite character so far: Rayman. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] left Rayman without any arms, legs or neck, making the character very easy to animate, as well as opening up unique gameplay possibilities, such as the [[telescopic fist]]. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] worked as a graphic artist and programmer on a string of Lankhor and [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]] games in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1992, he and a small team of developers began production on [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)|a Super Nintendo game]] starring his Rayman character. Eventually it was decided to scrap this project, and rework it into [[Rayman 1|an Atari Jaguar game]], which was eventually released in 1995. By the end of the game's development cycle, the team had grown to contain dozens of members.

===Inspiration===
A number of interviews with [[Ubisoft]] developers were posted on official websites in the period leading up to the release of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. In one interview, Rayman creator [[Michel Ancel]] revealed the inspirations behind the character. He states ''[[Rayman 2]]'' was inspired by Russian, Chinese and Celtic stories that he read as a child. These elements form the ‘fantastic background’ which comprises [[the Glade of Dreams]], but ‘a more contemporary and cartoonish touch’ has been added.<ref>[http://uk.ign.com/articles/1999/07/07/behind-rayman-2 ''Behind Rayman 2'', IGN]</ref> [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] goes on to say that the concept of the game's world is similar to that of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Crystal The Dark Crystal]'', which shares ‘its magic and its Celtic universe’. The cartoonish aspects were inspired by the works of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex_Avery Tex Avery]. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] states that ‘Rayman is a true high-performance hero who keeps a good sense of humour like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones Indiana Jones]. Rayman is a rebel, fighting against mighty bad guys like in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars]'' or ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hood Robin Hood]''’. This suggests that the villains of [[Michel Ancel|Ancel's]] [[Rayman (series)|Rayman games]] – [[Mr Dark]] and [[Admiral Razorbeard]] – may have been inspired by the likes of Darth Vader and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The character of Indiana Jones is also referenced by Rayman's co-creator [[Frédéric Houde]] and [[Rayman 1|the original game]] co-designer Serge Hascoët. According to a 2011 interview with the director of the [[Pix'n Love]] magazine (which has published numerous [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'']]-related articles), [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] took the name ‘Rayman’ from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_%28graphics%29 ray-tracing] software which [[Ubisoft]] happened to be using during the development of [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

===Rayman's origins===
[[File:RaymanOrigins 012.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Rayman is created by [[Betilla]] the Fairy.]]
[[File:RaymanOrigins 009.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Rayman after he has been created.]]

Several conflicting accounts have been given for Rayman's origins. During the development of [[Rayman 1|the original game]], the developers considered a story in which a ten-year-old boy named Jimmy created a world called Hereitscool inside his computer, and became Rayman once he was sucked into it. This idea was quickly abandoned. When [[Rayman 1|the original game]] was released in 1995, Rayman's backstory was left ambiguous, although he already appears to be an established hero within his world by the beginning of the game. The manual states that he is "the guardian of [[The Glade of Dreams|this world]]". The manual of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' does however contain a different account of Rayman's origins. It tells of Rayman's first appearance in [[the Glade of Dreams]], sometime before the events of [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. In this version of the story, he is discovered by fishermen, who for some reason does not seem to have encountered [[Rayman's species|his species]] before.

{{clear}}

{{quote|text=Rayman is a unique character of unknown origin.

No wise man or magician can say by what twist of fate or whim of the gods Rayman came to appear at [[the Glade of Dreams]].

All we know of him comes from the fishermen on [[the Sea of Lums]]. After a particularly stormy night they found him sleeping peacefully in the shade of a palm tree. Frightened by this strange creature from the sea, they called on the people of the forest, the skies and the waters for help. And the sun had not yet reached the zenith when a host of beings, each one more bizarre than the next, came tumbling over the violet sand dunes. They watched him for a long time. “What kind of a man can he be who has neither legs nor arms?”, they asked one another. “Can he possibly be alive?” wondered one of them when Rayman stretched and yawned loudly.

It didn't take Rayman long to convince the people of [[the Glade of Dreams]] of his good intentions. His energy and good humour, his fantastical powers and love of life and nature won over even the most distrustful of creatures. And when he triumphed over the evil [[Mr Dark|Mister Dark]], the truth was undeniable: Rayman was the bravest of them all, the ideal hero, the man for whom friendship and laughter are more important than anything else, for whom the greatest victory is measured by the extent of the celebrations that follow it.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

A revised origin story for Rayman was revealed at the E3 expo of 2010, when [[Ubisoft]] showed a trailer for the upcoming game ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The trailer showed the creation of Rayman by [[Betilla]] the Fairy. At this point in its development, ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' was intended as a two-player episodic downloadable prequel to the series, but it was eventually retooled into a four-player sequel with a retail release. A final, slightly modified version of Rayman's origin story was eventually offered on the official ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' website in November 2011, and can also be found in the game's manual.

{{quote|text=When [[Polokus|the Creator]] had his very [[First Bad Dream|first bad dream]], the [[nymph]]s gathered to invoke a being of light capable of saving [[The Glade of Dreams|our world]]: a creature both agile and carefree, as tenacious as he is hilarious, destined to crack up the Creator with his heroic antics and stop [[Jano|the nightmare]]!

Unfortunately, although not surprisingly, our bedazzling and bodacious [[nymph]]s were distracted by some [[zombie chicken]]s on their way to [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s sacred snoring grounds, and they lost a sack of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|lum]]s chasing the crazy creatures over a cliff. Thus, they arrived late and with a lot less illumination.

In the end, Rayman was born with a few fewer limbs, which as it turned out, made him a whole lot more limber!
|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

It is not specified whether this story is intended to replace or complement the one from the ''[[Rayman 2]]'' manual. It also conflicts with ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where Rayman and [[Jano]] do not appear to have met before, and it does not explain the existence of [[Tarayzan]], for example.

[[File:Bald Rayman with wife.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Rayman with [[Raynette|his wife]], before he gained hair and became estranged from her.]]

The PlayStation Vita version of the game contains two mosaics which can be viewed when the player collects enough [[relic]]s. One of these mosaics tells a story about Rayman's past. Long ago, Rayman was completely bald, and had a [[Raynette|wife or girlfriend]] of [[Rayman's species|his own species]]. One night, as they slept together in a forest, a colony of tiny blonde hair creatures, named [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], crept up on Rayman and fused themselves into his head. Rayman's [[Raynette|female companion]], frightened by this strange turn of events, attempted to cut Rayman's hair with a pair of scissors. The terrified hairs pulled at Rayman's head, forcing him to flee, and he fell over the edge of a cliff, apparently to his doom; however, he was saved by his new hair, which gave him the ability to fly like a [[helicopter]].

Since the backstory conflicts with other stories of Rayman's origin (including the fact that [[Betilla]] gave Rayman his iconic ability to fly with his hair), it is unclear if it is true and whether [[Raynette]] ever existed.

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and its spin-offs==
Rayman makes his first appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] where he at the start can be seen sleeping in a hammock. He answers [[the Magician]], who asks him to rescue the [[Electoon]]s, with a simple "No problem". He can then directly afterwards be seen in [[the Dream Forest]] on the map, through the eyes of [[Mr Dark]] who is watching him as he makes his way closer to his hideout in [[Candy Château]]. In the manual he is referred to as "the guardian of [[The Glade of Dreams|this world]]". Throughout the game he will come across several other characters of [[Rayman's species|his species]], such as [[Tarayzan]] and [[the Musician]]. Each time after having defeated a boss he will perform a victory dance. The only exception is after having defeated [[Bzzit]], where he comes up and befriends him instead once he sees him crying.

In the final level, [[Mr Dark's Dare]], [[Mr Dark]] can be seen summoning [[Bad Rayman]], an evil clone who follows Rayman's every step. It is unknown if this is simply a creation by [[Mr Dark]], or an actual living creature of [[Rayman's species]].

===In ''[[Rayman Designer]]''===
Rayman appears again in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' with the same role as in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. Here he also appears as an [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] in the [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] editor. The placement of the Rayman [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] decides where the player starts when entering the level. The Rayman [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] has to be places in order to play the level. This is the only [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] which can only be placed once. Selecting it again will result in the cursor showing Rayman's head only.

===In ''[[English with Rayman]]''===
[[File:Engray-story2.PNG|thumb|320px|right|class=sprite|Rayman, as seen in the intro of ''[[English with Rayman]]''.]]

Rayman appears as the main character in the educational spin-off ''[[English with Rayman]]'' where he is called up by [[the Magician]] to learn the English language, so that he can help him read his letter he received from his cousin [[Andrew]]. Throughout the course of the game, Rayman will be set with several questions to help improve his English skills.

In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], Rayman can be seen sleeping again, this time next to a tree. He is this time woken up by a group of [[Ting]]s, who are said to be [[Fairy|fairies]] in this game. Once again [[Bad Rayman]] makes an appearance near the end of the game.

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==
[[File:TheCrowsNestPC.jpg|thumb|320px|right|Rayman battling against [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in the [[Grolgoth]].]]

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Rayman is seen imprisoned on the ''[[Buccaneer]]'' during the opening sequence. He is however quickly rescued by [[Globox]], who has hidden a [[Silver Lum]] in his mouth. Upon collecting it, Rayman regains his power to shoot with his [[Telescopic fist|fist]], and escapes together with [[Globox]]. They however get separated in the escape, and Rayman ends up in [[the Woods of Light]] where he rescues the [[Teensie]]s. They tell him that [[Ly]] is held prisoner in [[the Fairy Glade]], and take him to [[the Hall of Doors]], from which he can travel to other locations through [[Spiral Door]]s. He frees [[Ly]], who reveals that he will need to reunite the [[Four Masks of Polokus|four masks]] to reawaken [[Polokus]] to have a chance to defeat the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]]. He then sets out on a quest to do so, while also freeing some of his friends, like [[Clark]] and [[Carmen]], along the way.

In the end he makes it to [[the Prison Ship]] where he defeats the [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] leader [[Admiral Razorbeard]] in a battle. However, before escaping, [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] sets his robot the [[Grolgoth]] on auto-destruct, causing the entire ship to blow up. Rayman's friends presume that he didn't make it out in time as they only found one of his shoes, but shortly after he can be seen coming on a crutch, showing that he survived the blast.

When ''[[Rayman 2]]'' was released in Japan, Rayman's purple clothes and the stripes on [[Ly]]'s suit were changed to blue, because it was believed that purple was the color of death in Japan. Purple, however, traditionally represents the aristocratic class in Japanese culture. This belief may have stemmed from the practice of Thai widows to wear purple when in mourning. ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is also the only [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]] where this sort of change was made in the Japanese localization.

This is also the only game where he speaks [[Raymanian]].

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Rayman can once again be seen sleeping at the beginning of the game. Unlike the previous games, he is not so easily woken up this time, and when [[Murfy]] comes to warn him and [[Globox]] about the [[Hoodlum]]s, [[Murfy]] is forced to pick Rayman up and fly away with him before he wakes up. But right before [[Murfy]] flew away with Rayman, [[Globox]] accidentally took off his hands before making his own escape. Rayman and [[Murfy]] soon enough meet up with [[Globox]] again where Rayman can get his hands back. During several later occasions in the game, [[Crazy Shoe|one of Rayman's shoes]] will start moving away, with Rayman shrinking into his other shoe to pursue it. Rayman is also able to use [[Laser-Washing Powder]]s to gain new temporary abilities, such as the [[Vortex]].

==Trivia==
* Due to a reaction during an activity in ''[[Rayman Premier Clics]]'' and due to the cover picture in a Joystick's magazine about ''[[Rayman 3]]'', it is presumed that Rayman loves chocolate.
* Rayman can play the harmonica and the ukulele, as shown in ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'' and ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'' respectively.
* With the exception of [[Renversant!|the third volume]], Rayman makes a cameo appearance in all volumes of [[Thitaume]] and [[Pujol]]'s [[Rabbid]]s comic books.
* Rayman was parodied in a comic strip in the second volume of Joueur du Grenier, with the main character being dressed like him. The joke poked fun at the limbless attributes of Rayman.
* Despite not having a neck, Rayman is still able to eat and swallow. This is seen in the opening cutscene of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
* Rayman was about to have legs again during the development of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', but the idea was quickly put aside.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 4 - Rayman 3 : Hoodlum Havoc, Rayman without Michel Ancel</ref>
* In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', it seems that Rayman did not age at all after the 100 years nap; the same goes for every other character returning from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
**However, his voice clips have changed from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
* Rayman, [[Globox]] and [[Barbara]] appear as collectible trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, with models supplied by [[Ubisoft]].
* A recurring gag is that Rayman is always seen sleeping in the beginning of every main game, with the exception of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.
