'''Bad Rayman''' is an evil clone of [[Rayman]]. In one of the final stages of [[Rayman 1|the original game]], [[Mr Dark]] uses his magic to create Bad Rayman for the sole purpose of destroying his original counterpart. He can only be defeated by finishing the level.

Bad Rayman is referred to as Rayman's '''Wicked Double''' in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' and '''Dark Rayman''' in ''[[Rayman Advance]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

A playable character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', named [[Raymesis]], is almost identical to Bad Rayman. ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' also features an unlockable skin named [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|Dark Rayman]], but this character bears little resemblance to Bad Rayman, despite being based on the same concept. [[Raymesis]] and [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|Dark Rayman]] also are evil clones of [[Rayman]]. Their connection to Bad Rayman is unknown.

This character became playable in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' under the name Shadow Ray.

==Description==
Bad Rayman is a clone of [[Rayman]], magically created by [[Mr Dark]] in an attempt to destroy the original. Bad Rayman's appearance is very similar to that of the original Rayman, but with different colouration. He seems to have somehow inherited Mr Dark's glowing yellow eyes. In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', Bad Rayman's skin is grey, his hair and neckerchief are pink, his gloves are light blue, and his shirt and shoes are dark blue. He also has a green tongue, which can be noticed by having him make a grimace in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' or ''[[Rayman Junior]]''.

==Role in the games==

[[Image:BadRayman.png|thumb|320px|class=sprite|Bad Rayman in the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'']]

===''Rayman''===
He first appears at a very late point in all versions of ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' except for the Atari Jaguar version, when the real [[Rayman]] finally reaches the second part of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in [[Candy Château]], and has a spell cast upon him by [[Mr Dark]]. The evil double appears behind him, and follows him wherever he goes as well as copying his actions. [[Rayman]] cannot stand still for too long at this point, because he and the double will die instantly if they come to close contact with each other. However, Bad Rayman will die as soon as the real [[Rayman]] reaches the exit in the area.

In ''[[Rayman Advance]]'', Bad Rayman is called Dark Rayman, which has fuelled numerous debates on his real name, and the nature of the relationship between him and [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|the playable character in ''Rayman Arena'']].<ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''Dark Rayman & Bad Rayman'', http://www.raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=5283</ref>

===''Rayman Junior''===
In the ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', Bad Rayman appears in the penultimate level, [[Tasty chase]]. [[Betilla the Fairy|Betilla]] refers to him as [[Rayman]]'s Wicked Double. However, he does not chase [[Rayman]] during the whole level, but only makes short appearances and disappears after a certain distance.

[[Image:AF 1.PNG|thumb|160px|right|class=sprite|Bad Rayman in [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of the game]]]]

===''Rayman'' (Game Boy Color)===
Bad Rayman also makes appearances in the [[Rayman (GBC)|Game Boy Color version of the game]], in which he appears in a slightly different colour scheme; his shoes and gloves are yellow, and his skin is darker than [[Rayman]]'s. He is found towards the end of the game, in the [[Arcane Forest]]. Bad Rayman behaves in the same way as he did in the original game - chasing, copying, and causing death upon touch.

[[File:Bad Rayman.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Dark Rayman in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'']]

===''Rayman Legends''===
Bad Rayman, named Dark Rayman, makes a return as an antagonist in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', and acts as he did in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. He appears in the last Invasion levels, in which [[Rayman]], in addition to having to reach a group of [[Teensie]]s before a certain amount of time while defeating enemies from another world and avoiding obstacles, must also avoid contact with Bad Rayman, who follows him and repeats his moves. This makes these levels some of the most challenging in the game. Bad Rayman's appearance is different from that of the previous games, as he is now almost completely dark with a purple aura emanating from his body. At certain points, Bad Rayman's crazy evil laughter can be heard, revealing a high pitched, echoed version of [[Rayman]]'s voice. This laughter, along with other variable noises, can be heard at the beginning of the challenge or when [[Rayman]] is defeated.

[[File:Lair of dark rayman.png|thumb|right|320px|The lair of Bad Rayman, as it would have appeared in Phoenix Interactive's ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]''.]]

===Other appearances===
Bad Rayman was intended to appear in Phoenix Interactive's cancelled ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]'' project. One piece of concept art produced for the game shows [[Rayman]] standing in an enormous cathedral-like building, which is decorated with statues and stained-glass windows in the likeness of Bad Rayman. These depictions show Bad Rayman holding swords, carrying spears, wearing suits of armour and breathing fire. Here he appears to be mainly black in colour, and his eyes are red rather than yellow. Engravings on the walls mention the name 'Dark Rayman'. The artwork seems to imply that Bad Rayman would have been an enemy in the game – possibly a boss, or even the main villain.

'''UbiRay''' is an exclusive skin in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and is only accessible via a unique code which could be redeemed via the Playstation Network or Xbox Live Market place. The code was only available to the development team who worked on the game. Interestingly enough, he bears no in-game description and it is not currently understood how he works in-game, though he has been spotted on the games online leaderboards being used by certain devs who compete often.

In the Xbox One version of the game, he was available to VIP members under the name '''Champion Ray'''.

==Description==
UbiRay shares the same look as [[Rayman]], however, his skin and hair are colored purple, and his torso bears the [[UbiSoft]] logo rather than the 'O' symbol that he is renowned for.

'''Globox''' is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], second only to [[Rayman]] himself in his prominence. Globox acts as a major ally in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', and is a playable character in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. He is [[Rayman]]'s best friend and has been since before the events of ''Rayman 2''.

==Character description==
[[File:Char-globox copia.png|thumb|right|320px|Globox was originally a member of the [[Red Wizard]] clan, only becoming blue when attacked by a swarm of blue [[mosquito]]es.]]
===Appearance===
Globox resembles a large, fat amphibian, and is blue-green in colour with a pale yellow belly and hands. While the rest of his body is fat and heavy, he has long thin arms, and his webbed feet and small eyes float separately from his body. He is noticeably taller than most of the inhabitants of [[the Glade of Dreams|the Glade]], with the exception of such characters as [[Ly|Ly the Fairy]] and [[Clark|Clark the Giant]]. Globox has an extremely large mouth with a long purple tongue, and he often uses it to store things such as [[Silver Lum]]s, and, accidentally, [[André]]. [[Baby Globox|His children]] have the same ability, as was shown when, late in the events of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', one of his sons swallowed the fourth [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]] when he found it in [[the Pirate Mines]] and gave it to [[Rayman]] once the latter had freed him and his siblings from the [[Spyglass Pirate]]'s [[Robot Dinosaur]]. Globox used to be red, but one day while he was eating berries, he mistook a blue [[mosquito]] for a berry, and ate it. From inside Globox's belly, the mosquito called for help, and hundreds of other blue mosquitoes came to sting Globox. When they left him, Globox's red skin was covered in painful blue welts. These eventually seeped into his skin, turning it blue.

===Abilities===
Physically, Globox is quite strong, and provided that he has the confidence to (under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''), he can inflict a strong blow on enemies, namely [[Hoodlum]]s. Unfortunately, he is allergic to plum juice, and when André was inside his stomach, he would force Globox to drink some and then suffer from its effects, which include getting drunk and burping out giant, bouncy bubbles. At an early point in ''Rayman 3'', he realises that he can swim, even swimming up an entire waterfall. Plum Juice can also give him an ability to fly, or float, into the air, allowing him to avoid such terrains in [[Rayman 3]] that would prove difficult. This was most likely to have been inspired by this hovering technique in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and also may be the inspiration of getting [[bubble|bubblized]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. In the last two mentioned games, and all versions of ''Rayman M'', it is suggested that Globox can run as fast as the others, despite his weight, but elsewhere he tends to walk slowly in a nervous state. In ''Rayman Origins'' and ''Rayman Legends'', Globox can use the ability to glide without inflating and just by flapping his arms in the air.

Globox has the power to form rainclouds, albeit small ones that draw enough rain to grow a plant quickly, put out fires and to rust a [[Robo-Pirate]] as self defence. Most other species would have to use a Rain Mask, which one of his children gives to Rayman at a later point in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

===Personality===
Globox is generally a warm and friendly character and a proud father of more than 650 children, though simple and very shy. Having been captured at least once in ''Rayman 2'', he has grown an irrational fear of the Robo-Pirates, and often when he senses that they are near, he will run away and hide (notable in [[the Canopy]]), until he is sure that Rayman had destroyed them all. Similarly, he displays this fear in ''Rayman 3'', this time of the Hoodlums and their attacks, unless he's under the influence of plum juice.

In ''Rayman 2'', Globox speaks in broken English and has a deep voice, but in ''Rayman 3'', his English has improved and his voice has attained a higher pitch.

Globox's personality changes between ''Rayman 2'' ''Rayman 3'' and ''Rayman Origins''. While he remains Rayman's daft sidekick in these games, in ''Rayman 2'' he is potrayed as a dim but loveable and well-meaning character, whereas in ''Rayman 3'' he seems more articulate but less intelligent, and acts rude at times. While very cowardly in ''Rayman 2'', in Globox can become very rash while under the influence of [[Plum Juice]] in ''Rayman 3'', yelling drunken taunts at the [[Hoodlum]]s and sometimes standing defiantly in their line of fire (though he is never hurt by this). In ''Rayman Origins'', his personality changes almost completely, acting more dimwitted, cheerful, and no longer cowardly.

==Biography==
Globox and his family were created by [[Polokus]] as part of the non-magical People, as a result of the spirit's sense of humour. He was originally called "[[Globber]]", a name that he has now passed down to [[Globber|one of his children]] in order to rename himself. Together with his mate, [[Uglette]], he is the proud father of 650 small children at the last count. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it was revealed that he and his family live in a tree house near [[the Canopy]], though in the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', they live in a secret location hidden in the [[Woods of Light]], called the [[Globox Village]].

==Videogame appearances==
[[Image:GloboxIntro.jpg|thumb|320px|right|Globox's first appearance in-game]]
===''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''===
Globox makes his first appearance in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. His story, which begins before the game starts, is detailed in the game's manual. When the [[Robo-Pirate]]s invade [[the Glade of Dreams]], [[Rayman]] and Globox, along with their friends, join forces in rebellion against the enemy. One day, the heroes travel to [[the Great Forest]] to ambush the pirates. Globox helps by causing pirates to rest with his [[Rain Dance]]. Rayman praises his efforts, but loses his powers when the pirates destroy [[the Heart of the World]], and is soon captures. This leaves Globox with no choice but to flee in hopes that he might find [[Ly the Fairy]] and ask for further instructions. Ly gives Globox a [[Silver Lum]], and instructs him to surrender himself to the pirates..

The game opens in the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', as Globox is thrown into the same cell as Rayman. Globox gives him the [[Silver Lum]] he received from Ly, which allows Rayman to shoot with his [[magic fist]]. Rayman smashes a [[sparadrap|metal grate]] covering an air vent, and together, he and Globox go down the chute. However, Globox knocks Rayman off the edge, and they become separated. From this point until he meets [[Sssssam]] in the [[Marshes of Awakening]]. When Rayman lands in [[the Woods of Light]], he meets three [[baby Globox]]es, and admits to them that he was separated from their father. Later, in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], Rayman meets [[Sssssam]], who informs him that Globox has been recaptured by the pirates and taken beyond the Marshes.

[[File:R2TGE-PC-TheCanopy-HallOfDoors.jpg|thumb|320px|right|A hologram of Globox is used to represent [[the Canopy]] in [[the Hall of Doors]].]]

When Rayman reaches [[the Canopy]], he finds Globox imprisoned in a laser holding cell, near a sign referring to him as 'Public Enemy #2'. Rayman frees Globox, who joins him for the remainder of the level. He puts his [[Rain Dance]] to good use, growing helpful [[plants]], putting out fires and short-circuiting electric laser fences. However, upon the sight of a [[Warship]], Globox runs back the way they came into a cave. Rayman goes back to reassure his friend that there's nothing to be scared of, and then, Globox remembers to give him a [[Silver Lum]] which upgrades the power of his [[magic fist]]. At the end of the level, Globox takes leave of Rayman, insisting that he must go and find his wife, [[Uglette]].

Unfortunately, Globox gets captured again at the near end of the game, this time used as live bait to lure Rayman to the [[Crow's Nest]]. When he gets here, Razorbeard shoots him, but misses and hits the pole that hangs Globox upside down, but he insists that Rayman should carry on fighting the [[Grolgoth]] rather than saving him. It is unknown how he got down after the Crow's Nest fell apart, but whatever happens, he ends up back on the ground safely by the time he and his friends mourn their hero after the Buccaneer explodes, until Rayman turns up alive.

[[Image:Globox_dance.gif|thumb|left|Globox performing his [[Rain Dance|rain dance]]]]

====''Rayman Revolution''====
Though Globox's role in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' is similar to that in ''Rayman 2'', a few new elements were added. In ''Revolution'', Globox does not grant Rayman the ability to shoot his [[Magic Fist]], but instead simply allows Rayman to punch. Globox's [[Globox's House|house]], children, and relation with [[Uglette]] are depicted in a larger scale; [[Bimbette|one of his daughters]] is an important character later in the game, [[Uglette]] is constantly seen worrying about Globox, and his cliffside house's acres of land are the setting for the middle third of the game. Globox joins Rayman on a few occasions in a fashion similar to [[Clark]] or Globox's role in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. Globox must be taken past [[Whale Bay]] to use his [[Rain Dance]] so as to enable entry to [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].

[[Image:Globox.gif|thumb|right|320px|Globox as he appears in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'']]

===''Rayman M''===
Globox is one of the five playable characters that are initially available in ''[[Rayman M]]''. The manual for the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', the American localisation of ''Rayman M'', offers the following description of Globox:

<blockquote>'''Profession:''' Model Father. 
'''Likes:''' Sleeping under trees, playing with his [[Baby Globox|boys]], and rock music. 
'''Dislikes:''' Danger, being woken up suddently by [[Tily]], and journeys across the world. 
'''Address:''' [[Globox's House|Third cave on the left in the magic mountains]].</blockquote>

===''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''===
Globox remains physically similar to his original appearance, though had become a comedic sidekick for this next appearance. Globox plays a major plot role, having accidentally swallowed [[André]] and having to find a [[Teensie Doctor|doctor]] who would find a way to remove André from Globox during the first half of the game. During this time, Globox is forced by André to drink [[Plum Juice]], despite his allergies, and during a somewhat drunken state he gains special abilities for short periods of time that are needed to progress Rayman through the game or move Globox forward through the level (by floating). Through the second half he plays a lesser role, though tends to follow [[Rayman]] on their journey, ocasionally bringing up the odd surprise. He is notably voice acted by actor John Leguizamo.

[[Image:Ray3 globox float.png|thumb|right|230px|Globox floating away after drinking plum juice.]]

===''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''===
In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows Rayman through much of the game, similar to Rayman 3. Globox is also a playable character in some levels. Often times there will be a puzzle-like sequence of events that requires the player to use both Rayman and Globox to move forward in the level. As Andre has been consumed once more, Globox can use the effects of [[plum juice]] to do certain things to move on in the stage, such as breaking metal bars.

[[File:Globox_RK.PNG|thumb|200xp|left|Globox as he appears in ''[[Rayman Kart]]'']]

===''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' (Game Boy Advance)===
Globox makes a brief cameo appearence at the beginning of [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. He is seen in the [[Agony jails]] where he thanks Rayman to have freed him.

===''Rayman Kart''===
Globox makes an appearance as a playable character in ''[[Rayman Kart]]''. He is unlocked from the start and his special power is to drop three [[baby Globoxes]] on the track.

===''Rayman Origins''===
[[File:RO-GloboxArtwork.jpeg|320px|thumb|Globox as seen in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'']]
Globox next appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He is a playable character in the game's co-op mode. The trailer shows [[Rayman]]'s first meeting with Globox, prior to the events of ''[[Rayman 1]]''. It is said that Globox is [[Rayman]]'s ‘double, his blood brother, his id’. ''Origins'' reveals that Globox is one of a group of beings known as the [[Red Wizard]]s; like the others, Globox was originally red, but he became blue when attacked by blue [[mosquito]]es. Red Globox is an unlockable character in the game. In this game Globox can fly by flapping his arms, unlike in the other games when he has to inflate to 'float'. Origins is also the only game that Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, Polokus refers to Globox as "the biggest glute in the Glade" when that name was used in reference to bird-like creatures that only appeared in the beta of Rayman 3.

===''Rayman Legends''===
Globox returns in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', fulfilling the same role as he did in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He, alongside [[Rayman]], a [[Grand Minimus]] and a [[Goth Teensy]] are awoken by [[Murfy]] at the beginning of [[Once upon a Time]], beginning the events of the game.

==Trivia==
*Globox was one of the six collectible ''Rayman 2'' [[figures]] given away with French McDonald's Happy Meals.
*Although not seen in the game, he has a default score of 12000 in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''.
*Globox was going to make an appearance in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', as a character Rayman was going to rescue from the [[Rabbid|Rabbids]], but this idea was scrapped.
*During Rayman 2's production, Globox's original name was [[Globber]].
*It's interesting to note that most male Globoxes end with the suffix 'ox' and most females have 'ette' at the end of their name: [[Uglette]], [[Brainox]] and [[Catastrox]] are some of the names that follow this rule.
*In a later state of production of Rayman 2, Globox had originally 35 sons and one of them was named [[Globs]] <ref>Rayman2.com, http://web.archive.org/web/20000303171408/http://www.rayman2.com/en/story/story_txt1.html</ref>.
*In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Globox is scaleless and his mouth is completely pink.
*Globox appears as a collectible trophy in ''Super Smash Bros for Wii U'' along with Rayman and [[Barbara]].

'''Axel''', also known as '''the Guardian of [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]]''', is a boss character from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. He is the Guardian of the first [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]].

==Role in the games==
[[Image:TheSanctuaryofWaterIceDCAxel.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Axel is surrounded by a yellow glow in the Dreamcast version]]
Unlike most bosses in [[Rayman (series)|the series]], Axel only takes one hit to be destroyed, making him less powerful than some of the other Guardians. He attacks by throwing icicles at [[Rayman]], who has to get to him by swinging across a series of [[Purple Lum]]s in the air. Once close enough, Rayman shoots an overhanging icicle with his [[magic fist]], causing it to fall on to Axel's head, defeating him in a single hit. In most versions of the game he explodes and evaporates into the air with a roar of rage; in the PlayStation version, the icicle sticks on his head and he slowly sinks into the fountain below him, where he dissolves.

Axel does not appear to be an inherently evil being; like the other Guardians, he was created by [[Polokus]] to guard [[Four Masks of Polokus|his four magical Masks]] and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. The PlayStation version of the game contains additional cutscenes in which [[Rayman]] engages in dialogue with the Guardians Axel, [[Umber]] and [[Foutch]]; in the conversation with Axel, it is revealed that he regards Rayman as a thief who threatens the safety of the first Mask. When Axel attacks Rayman, he is ultimately acting under the instructions of Polokus.

Like the other Guardians, Axel's name is not given in the PlayStation version ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. Axel does not appear in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color adaptation of the game; neither do any of the other bosses.

Axel's French name, '''Aglagl''', is an onomatopoeia for the feeling of cold.

Mdalsted:

uh i realy think that to make this eposodic add more than 1 villain like 1 thought up [[Rayman]]'s dark side ausome huh tell the game makers that leondude out
:Leondude, can you do a few things for us?
*Learn how to spell.
*Learn how to add a signature.
*Learn that we're not Ubisoft so we can't do anything about it.

::The "Talk" pages shall not be used to give opinions about how games should be. For some reason we have a forum. --[[User:Haruka|Haruka]] 21:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
:Don't make suggestions to games developers. That will never, ever work. They are professionals. They know what they are doing and they do not require tips from ten-year-olds. Also, you may want to work on your English; I don't know if it's your first language, but your spelling, grammar, punctuation and general coherence are all over the place – it's difficult to understand what you're saying. You should also note that we are an unofficial fansite and despite our excellence we have no official affiliation with Ubisoft – we cannot pass your 'ideas' on to the developers, and even if we could, we would not. If you plan on hanging around here for long, you should probably learn how to use wiki syntax, read the manual of style etc. 'spiraldoor out' —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] 21:44, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't care what anyone says, some French website with mysterious 'sources' does not count as an official release date.

i know this is stupid but what's ubiart's email adress so i can send a video of three bosses to inspire them
:You are an idiot. Professional game developers do not need ten-year-olds to send them videos of their crappy favourite games to 'inspire' them. If we somehow had UbiArt's email address, we would do everything to ensure it did not fall into your hands, so that they would not have to waste their time with your nonsense.

:I know I should revert this but it's so damn funny it would be a shame to do so. If you think that your 'bosses' or anything you could ever hope to create might be of use to the talented professional game developers at UbiArt or find its way into Rayman Origins: you're utterly wrong and painfully naïve.

my feelings are hurt and i like this wiki please don't kick me out or my heart will break oh did you know that rayman is in one of my cartoons and i will make a rayman cartoon called the rayman show oh i bet i can't edit for a whole week if i win i will be a sysop and if i lose i won't edit for a month Deal or no Deal
:If you like this wiki so much, why do you insist on pestering us with useless edits? You will be kicked out unless you start obeying the rules and typing in coherent English. Nobody gives a damn about your 'broken heart' or your 'cartoons'. No, you will never become a sysop; we have enough already, and if we need more I could easily compile a list of several hundred better candidates.

== Alright ==

So Amazon USA put Origins on preorder, hopefully for 15th November and without delays. I think that information as well as the NA cover can be ready to be put up now but still wait for official character names. --[[Image:RKartHead.gif]] '''[[User:Staceyw|StaceyW]] ♬''' 15:58, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
:I agree. Maybe the European cover will be different, aswell it can be the same (as it happened with R1 and partially with R2). --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 16:18, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

== Rewriting certain bits ==

Stuff like the "Rayman 1 style health points" seems to be debunked now and there's so much I've gathered from playing the E3 demo...do we add these now or do we wait until the final game is out? --[[User:Cairnie|Cairnie]] 09:43, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
:I personally suggest to wait for the final release of the game. Better to join everything after. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 09:56, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
:I actually think Stacey should add all she knows to the article.

== Worlds ==

Hi all!

We have a substantial problem as concerns the worlds in Rayman Origins: Ticklish Temples, Grumbling Grottos, Luscious Lakes and Angsty Abyss are basically the very same places as Jibberish Jungle, Desert of Dijiridoos, Gourmand Land and Sea of Serendipity, respectively (Moody Clouds seems quite different from Mystical Pique though). Just like we have awesome articles describing the worlds from the original game, it would be great to do the same for Rayman Origins, but the fact that some worlds are actually split in two makes the whole thing harder. Should we have only one article for each pair? Or should we have the same article (almost) twice? Any other ideas in mind? —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|link=User:Hunchman801]] 00:27, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
:I think the worlds should be integrated in the main ones, separated by titles and bars (sections). The "second worlds" names could be redirected to those sections. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 19:42, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
::Done. All comments welcome. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|link=User:Hunchman801]] 17:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

== Enemy names ==

When editing Rayman Origins level articles would it be better to refer some of the enemies like '''Antitoons''' by their Origins name '''Darktoons''' or what? --[[User:Teensiedragonkaiser|Teensiedragonkaiser]] 04:40, 14 March 2012 (CET)
:When referring to Rayman Origins, it is best to use the latest names, e.g. Darktoons. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|link=User:Hunchman801]] 12:22, 14 March 2012 (CET)

== Wait, it's a SEQUEL?! ==

''"Despite its title, it is not a prequel, but a sequel to the first three Rayman games."'' WHAT? Since WHEN it's a sequel?! I can clearly remember official information saying that it's a prequel! - [[User:Zutheskunk|Zutheskunk]] 12:01, 23 May 2012 (CEST)

:It was changed to a sequel when the game was turned into a full retail title. There are no origins or young rayman, it's just a regular adventure with rayman and his friends.--[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 15:40, 23 May 2012 (CEST)

:I'm really surprised that you weren't aware of this until now; it's been common knowledge since late last year! The game is an unambiguous sequel. This should be proof enough:
:*In R1, Rayman meets Betilla for the first time, and Mr Dark creates Bad Rayman.
:*In R2, Rayman meets Murfy, the Grand Minimus and Polokus for the first time.
:*In Origins, it's clear that Rayman has already met Betilla, Murfy, the Grand Minimus and Polokus. He's sleeping with several of them at the beginning of the game! Dark Rayman's appearance wouldn't make sense if he hadn't already been created by Mr Dark – and this connection to Mr Dark shouldn't be taken lightly, as Polokus actually talks about it when you pull on his beard.
:The developers basically decided to rework the game and make it a sequel, perhaps because they didn't want to have to worry about continuity errors or feel that they had to structure the game so that it fit with the backstory established in the others. For example, the Magician's betrayal would be impossible in a prequel. You'll notice that the scenes that made us think it was a prequel in the first place (like the creation of Rayman by Betilla, and the first meeting of Rayman and Globox) are not present in the final game. The developers never actually used the word 'prequel'; they've always told us that the title refers to the fact that the game is meant to be a return to the 'roots' or 'origins' of the series (by which they mean the gameplay and visual style of the original game).
:If that's not enough, I've compiled a more comprehensive list of evidence [http://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=636369#p636369 here]. I must warn you: it's very long. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 18:28, 23 May 2012 (CEST)
:Its already said. The game transformed into a sequel at the very last hour of development. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 20:40, 23 May 2012 (CEST)
:I, for one, have been aware for a long time that Origins is a sequel and not a prequel, but something is bothering me; I've heard Origins is a sequel to Rayman 2, but the wiki page says it's a sequel to "the first THREE Rayman games". Wouldn't that mean it's a sequel to Rayman 3, then, or am I forgetting about a handheld title or something?
