'''Barbara''' is a character that is set to become a playable character in the upcoming game ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. She was first seen for a brief moment in a leaked trailer that was discovered in April 2012, more than a month before the game was officially revealed at E3 in June 2012. A trailer introducing her was released in August 2012.

==Description==
Unlike the vast majority of female characters in the ''[[Rayman]]'' series, Barbara is a human barbarian. She wears a winged helmet, a green outfit consisting of a boobtube, skirt and trousers, and tan coloured furry boots, and a brown belt with a skull attached to it. She also has long, curly red hair, with two parts of it tied into ponytails at each side of her head, and has one of her teeth missing. Also unlike most characters in the ''[[Rayman]]'' series, she carries a weapon - a double edged battle axe.

Three simple problems:

*The black teensy is not a wizard, he guards the dead door.
*The orange costume was scrapped.
* I think it's not a good idea to create articles about the 16 playable characters if they don't even have defined personalities or roles in the game. Actually, some of us were discussing about an article called "Playable characters in Rayman" where this teensie may be included. --[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 21:59, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

The '''Teensy Wizard''' is one of the playable characters in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He is a Teensy wearing a typical Merlin-like wizard costume: a light blue shirt with dark blue stars, covered by a blue coat with light blue stars, and a conical wizard's hat topped with a star. Several early trailers suggest that he was going to be a main character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but he eventually became an unlockable [[skin]]; the [[Goth Teensy]] replaced him as one of the four initially available characters, in much the way the [[Green Teensy]] replaced the [[Grand Minimus]]. During earlier development, another Teensy Wizard was intended to make an appearance, with similar features, but an orange costume instead of blue; however, for unknown reasons he was scrapped, but still makes an appearance on the disc's cover. The Bubble Dreamer makes a possible reference to this orange Teensy Wizard, stating that the blue Teensy Wizard has a twin brother, and that the two tied for second place in last year's Snoring Competition.

Rayboxsiebid: /* Teensies */

[[Image:raymanmarenarushskins.png|thumb|All Skins in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]'']]

'''Skins''' are unlocked in ''[[Rayman M]]''/''[[Rayman Arena|Arena]]''/''[[Rayman Rush|Rush]]''. Most of the characters earning them in ''Rayman M'', but all the characters get a skin in ''Rayman Arena'' and ''Rayman Origins''. Each character unlocks up to three skins in ''Rayman M'', but in ''Rayman Arena'', all competitors have four skins each, except for [[Dark Globox]], [[Rayman]], [[Tily]], [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] and [[Razorwife]], who only get one. Each skin (but Rayman's) changes the beat for the character's theme to what it is most suited to (e.g., Globox has his strawberry skin and is racing in the Extreme League. The beat for the Extreme League racing is fast, and the beat for the Advanced League is light and watery. Globox's skin will change the beat from the Extreme League to the Advanced League.). But if it is in its League, it will change to the Beginner League's beat (thumping in the background). The skins do not have this effect on battles. It is unnoticeable, but may be true that the skins in their league make the event slightly easier.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', there are 16 playable characters with different skins based on the original animated models of Rayman, Globox and the Teensies. Each character has an unique appearance and a backstory slightly hinted by the [[Bubble Dreamer]]'s comments at the [[Snoring Tree]], but their movements and animations are the same. As an exception, Globox Rayman and Red Globox appear to be Rayman and Globox themselves, but with a different colour palette. New characters are unlocked in [[bubble]]s by collecting a certain number of [[Electoon]]s indicated by [[Murfy]] at the Snoring Tree. After beating the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]], players are able to choose the same character, and play using the same skin.

Globox has two skins like [[Rayman]], [[Red Wizard|Red Globox]], who appears to be Globox himself before turning blue, and [[Glombrox]], an evil [[Glute]] and possibly an evil clone of Globox. Globox's wife, [[Uglette]] was going to be a skin, but was removed during development.

===[[Teensie]]s===
There are several Teensies skins in ''Rayman Origins''. [[Green Teensy]] and [[Goth Teensy]] are the starting teensies, then a Teensie cosplaying as Rayman called [[Teensy Ray]] and a Teensie cosplaying as Globox called [[Globteen]] are unlocked. Later there are [[Teensette|Female]], [[Teensie Wizard|Wizard]], [[Grand Minimus]], [[Ninja Teensy|Ninja]], [[Fire Teensy|Fire]] and [[the Original Grand Minimus]]'. All scrapped Teensies include a [[Robot (Rayman Origins)|Robot]] Teensy, [[Ice Teensy]], Ice Teensette, an orange version of the Teensy Wizard and [[the Magician]] himself.

'''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]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. 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|The young Globox was red in colour.]]
===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]]. All versions of ''Rayman M'' suggest that he can run as fast as the others, despite his weight, but elsewhere he tends to walk slowly in a nervous state.

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's story begins even before the game starts, where he is by Rayman's side among an ambush in the Great Forest. There, he doesn't put up much of a fight, but he helps by rusting up a few Pirates with his Rain Dance. Rayman praises his efforts, but gets distracted by Ly's telepathy, and gets captured, leaving Globox with no choice but to be sent by his limbless friend to find Ly in person and ask for further instructions. Ly gives him a Silver Lum, and then gets captured himself.

On the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', Globox is thrown into the same cell as Rayman, and give him the Silver Lum, which allows him to shoot with his fist. Rayman tries it on a metal grate covering an air vent, and together, he and Globox goes 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]], who tells him that Globox has been taken beyond the Marshes, the limbless hero doesn't know where his amphibious friend had got to.

[[Image:The_Hall_of_Doors_N64_09_The_Canopy.jpg|thumb|320px|right|A hologram of Globox is used to represent [[the Canopy]] in [[the Hall of Doors]]]]

Later in the game, Globox is recaptured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s and is imprisoned in [[the Canopy]]. A sign there refers to him as ‘Public Enemy #2’. Once Rayman frees him, Globox joins him for the remainder of the level. He puts his [[Rain Dance]] to good use by growing [[plants]], putting out fires and short-circuiting electric bars. 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 primary roles in ''Revolution'' were similar to those 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]].

===''[[Rayman M]]''/''[[Rayman Arena|Arena]]''/''[[Rayman Rush|Rush]]''===
In ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', Globox is one of the initially available characters.

===''[[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.

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

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

===''[[Rayman Kart]]''===
Globox makes an appearence 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]]''===
Globox 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.

===''[[Rayman Legends]]''===
According to a leaked trailer, Globox will appear in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. His moveset will be the same as that in ''Rayman Origins'', though this time he can be used as an avatar for online games. His role in the story is still unknown.

==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>.

'''Robots''' are humanoid machines created to guard the [[Moody Clouds]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. They use their long outreach electric shocks to attack. Although characters can extract a [[lum]] from their bodies with one hit, robots are almost invincible. A way to kill them is to push them into an environment trap, such as a circular saw; the other way is to kill them is to use a [[Blue Punch]] against them. Doing this will add 3 more lums to the player's counter, though pushing a robot into a cliff doesn't count as a kill. Robots have big eyes, big-lipped mouths, an antenna over their heads, a thin body, claws for hands and skates for feet, which are able to attach to the walls. Robots apparently love skating, as some of them can be seen rolling around happily while not having visual contact with the players.

During development, there was going to be a Robot [[Teensy]] skin. This was scrapped later. It is unknown if the skin would have been modeled after the Robot.

'''The Magician''' is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. He makes his first appearance in the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', where he seems to be a member of [[Rayman]]'s [[Rayman's species|limbless species]]. His next major role is in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where he is revealed to be a [[Teensie]], and ultimately takes on a villainous role. (According to unused dialogue from this game, his real name is '''Ales Mansay'''.) In the intermediate years, the Magician also appeared in several educational spin-offs of the original game, such as ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' and ''[[English with Rayman]]''.

==Character description==
[[Image:R1Intro 001.PNG|thumb|left|320px|The Magician first appears in the intro sequence of the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''.]]
===Appearance===
In the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', the Magician appears to be part of the same limbless species as [[Rayman]]. He bears all of the signature traits – lack of limbs, large nose and white gloves. He has long blonde hair that nearly reaches the ground, and his eyes are always covered by his long black top hat, which shines in blue and purple and has a gold star on the front. (He often retreats into this hat, and can be found hiding inside it in many levels.) He has also been seen wearing shirts of two colours – in the introduction sequence of ''Rayman'', he wears a purple shirt with two blue buttons, but in the game itself, this is blue with golden buttons. The colour of his shoes – purple and orchid – remain the same, but with different stripe patterns. He is also noticeably shorter than Rayman is in ''Rayman'', but in the educational games, he is approximately the same height as [[Betilla the Fairy]]. According to ''[[English with Rayman]]'', the Magician has a cousin named [[Andrew]].

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Magician is no longer a member of Rayman's species – like several other characters, he has been redesigned to better fit the world established in the ''Rayman'' sequels. The Magician is now a grey-haired [[Teensie]] who wears a purple shirt and a black coat. He still has his signature, star-adorned top hat, and can still be found hiding inside it in various levels.

===Personality===
The personality of the Magician had not been fully established in the first ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' game. This was due to his low participation in the story and his mysterious nature in the game. However, his happy narrative and flamboyantly positive attitude denotes the Magician as being unconcerned despite any terrible event to happen in [[the Glade of Dreams]]; this could also mean that the Magician relies heavily on Rayman and his capabilities.

The Magician also appears to be somewhat introverted, usually hiding inside his top hat, and only showing his face when doing business. This does not prevent him from socialising with other creatures of the Glade; in the educational spin-offs, the Magician's friendship with [[Betilla the Fairy]] is made clear.

In ''Rayman Origins'', the Magician returns after several years of disappearance, and reveals to be a liar with great skill for manipulation. The Magician also has a greedy attitude, helping Rayman only in exchange for currency; this can be noticed since the first Rayman game, though it's more notable in Rayman Origins.

===Career===
According to a script found in the files of ''Rayman Origins'', the Magician started his carrer at a young age in the school of magic. This event could have taken place chronologically during Rayman 1, when he was still benevolent. The other students bullied him during that time due to his poor skills in magic. While maintaining the nickname "Magician", his real name, Ales Mansay (meaning Salesman in pig latin), left more clear his main purpose in the games: provide assistance in exchange for monetary assets. Finally, tempted by the other students, the Magician turned away from Rayman to become a fan of the evil Mr. Dark. The magician also proved to be an expert engineer at the end of ''Rayman Origins'', creating a gigantic robotic empire in the [[Moody Clouds]].

[[File:Magician R1 bonus level.png|thumb|right|320px|In exchange for ten [[Ting]]s, he will transport [[Rayman]] to a [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]].]]
===''Rayman''===
The Magician first appears in the introduction of ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', in which he tells the story of how [[Mr Dark]] stole [[the Great Protoon]] and brought about the collapse of [[the valley]]'s natural stability. He calls on [[Rayman]] to go and free the [[Electoon]]s from the cages that hostile beings had imprisoned them in, as well as bring the Great Protoon back from the [[Candy Château]]. He is the only character to have a major speaking role in the game. The Magician's voice was re-recorded for the American localisation, possibly by a different actor; his voice in this version is deeper and more brash than the high-pitched voice in the original European release.

[[Rayman]] can come across the Magician's hat several times throughout the game. The Magician only emerges from it if Rayman has at least ten [[Ting]]s; if not, he will clearly indicate with his hand that the hero will need them. If Rayman does have at least ten Tings, he automatically reaches out and drops them into the Magician's outstretched hand. The Magician then teleports Rayman to one of his [[Bonus level (Rayman)|bonus levels]]. In these secret areas, Rayman must collect all the Tings within the time limit. If he succeeds, he wins an extra [[life]]. Only a single life can be won in each bonus level. Subsequent victories in the same bonus levels are purely for fun, and also record the time taken by the player so that they can attempt to beat their records if they wish.

[[Image:RJMagician 002.PNG|thumb|right|200px|The Magician and [[Betilla the Fairy]] watch over [[the Magic Book of Knowledge]]]]
===''Rayman Junior''===
In several of the educational versions of the original game, such as ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', the Magician's roles are looked into considerably more. He introduces the story of the game once again, only this time, he tells of how [[Mister Dark]] had broken into his cottage, stole [[the Great Book of Knowledge]] and destroyed the map to the villain's hideout. Once again, he and [[Betilla the Fairy]] call on Rayman to retrieve the pieces of the map and the book.

Instead of providing bonus areas, the Magician now helps Rayman to solve the many problems (spelling and mathematical problems for the young player) throughout the journey. When Rayman starts a level, the Magician will give him an overview of the specific tasks he needs to do in order to complete it. After that, his hat will appear several times, and each time Rayman passes one, the Magician will either ask a new question or remind him of the level's task. At the very end of the last stage in the level, he will appear somewhere once the final task is done, and when Rayman finds him, he mostly does a different performance, such as doing a dance or rapping 90s style, while praising Rayman for what he has done.

[[Image:Magician1.JPG|thumb|right|320px|The Magician collects the player's [[Lum (Rayman Origins)|Lums]] at the end of each level.]]
===''Rayman Origins''===
The Magician makes his next appearance in the 2D platforming sequel, ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The Magician is first encountered at the beginning of the game: he is found inside his distinctive top hat, which is sitting on the ground outside [[the Snoring Tree]]. Each time one of the players jumps on the hat, the Magician offers a few words of advice. The hat appears in many places throughout the game, and the players can jump on it at any time for tips relevant to their current situation. However, there are some hints at his darker side; he makes sarcastic comments, and has little concern for the heroes, beyond using them as a source of [[Lum]]s. Sometimes he even questions Rayman's position as a hero.

At the end of each level, he is seen holding a test tube which he uses to count the number of Lums collected by the players. In exchange for certain numbers of Lums, he gives the heroes [[Electoon]]s, but if the players reach the top of the test tube, they receive a [[Lum Medal]]. The Magician displays great joy and excitement whenever the heroes bring him a large number of Lums. In these post-level screens, the Magician can be seen fully: he is revealed to be a [[Teensie]] rather than a member of [[Rayman's species]], and his hair is now grey rather than blonde.

The last world of the game (apart from [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|the optional bonus level]]) is the [[Moody Clouds]], a flying mechanical steampunk city which has mysteriously appeared above [[the Glade of Dreams]]. When the heroes finally arrive, they find the Magician's magic hat waiting for them. However, instead of offering helpful advice as he usually does, the Magician frantically tells them that they are going the wrong way, warning them to turn back before it is too late. In spite of the Magician's warning, the heroes work their way through the Moody Clouds. Along the way, they find many [[Lum]]s trapped in glass containers connected to machines; it seems that they are being used to power Moody Clouds and its robotic denizens. Eventually the heroes reach the heart of the mystery, a level titled ‘[[The Reveal]]’. They step into the Moody Clouds headquarters, only to find the Magician working the controls of the diabolical machinery encountered throughout the level. Caught, the Magician spins round, gives the heroes a smile and rips the golden star off his hat. He then jumps onto his desk and poses while lightning flashes in the windows behind him. We see that the walls are decorated with posters of a mysterious, shadowy figure with a hat and a cloak; one poster bears the words '♥ Mister D', revealing that the Magician was secretly a fan of [[Mr Dark]], the villain of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]. Also on the wall is a diagram showing Lums being fed into a machine to produce electricity: it is revealed that the Magician has been using the Lums he collected from the heroes to power the creation of his mechanical empire, the Moody Clouds. At this moment, the Magician pulls a lever, causing the heroes to fall through a trap door, where they must fight mechanical recreations of the [[Daisy]] and [[Mocking Bird]] bosses. Once these have been defeated, the heroes climb back to the office of the Magician, where he distracts them with a disco number (recalling the dances of the original game's bosses) before running away. The heroes must them pursue him through a storm of falling debris and broken machinery as the Moody Clouds itself begins to disintegrate. Eventually the Magician hops onboard an airship, and the heroes must pursue him on the backs of their [[mosquito]] friends. Eventually the airship crashes into the fiery core of the Moody Clouds, causing an enormous explosion. The heroes fall from the sky and land back at [[the Snoring Tree]], where the game began. The Magician's fate is unknown.

[[Image:Char-mr-dark.png|thumb|right|320px|The Magician takes on the mantle of [[Mr Dark]].]]

An earlier version of the game's script was found amongst the files of the game's demo, and, while it follows the same general story, it also sheds more light on certain aspects of the plot, and contains a great deal expository dialogue that was excised from the final version of the game. The Magician, real name Ales Mansay, was bullied and ostracised by the other [[Teensie]]s at magic school for his poor magical abilities. Although he helped Rayman to overcome Mr Dark in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], the Magician secretly admired the villain's dark and mysterious nature, and wanted to emulate him. He also developed a hatred for the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], whose nightmares had repeatedly overcome [[the Glade of Dreams]] and were a constant threat to its inhabitants. The Magician concocted a plan. He hid a microphone in [[the Snoring Tree]], so that the heroes' snoring would irritate and ultimately start a war with the [[Livid Dead]]. (This microphone, disguised as a flower, can still be seen in the game itself, in both the beginning and ending sequences.) Throughout the game, the Magician pretended that he was still a friend of the heroes, allowing him to collect [[Lum]]s from them in exchange for [[Electoon]]s which they could use to reach new levels. The Magician used these Lums to power his mechas: gigantic machines which he was building to take over the Glade of Dreams, imposing order and eliminating the chaos of the Bubble Dreamer's nightmares. Eventually, however, the heroes reach the Magician's headquarters in the [[Moody Clouds]] and put a stop to his plans.

In the months leading up to and following the release of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', there was some confusion amongst fans about the identity of the villain and his relationship to Mr Dark, thanks largely to the lack of dialogue or lucid storytelling in the final version of the game. In January 2012, lead writer Gabrielle Shrager confirmed that the Magician was simply a big fan and admirer of Mr Dark, and that he was attempting to usurp Mr Dark's position.<ref>Gabrielle Shrager clarifies the identity of the villain of ''Rayman Origins'', [[:File:Gabrielle Shrager Facebook conversation.jpg]]</ref>

===''Rayman Legends''===
[[File:Ro2-maybe-9.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Magician's hat in ''Rayman Legends''.]]

According one of the leaked screenshots, the Magician is presumed to return in ''Rayman Legends''. His signature top hat is clearly seen sitting under the shadow of a fallen tree, though this time it's placed upside down. His presence could prove his survival to the explosion in Rayman Origins; however, his previous betrayal makes dubious his role in this game.

==Trivia==
Although he does not make a direct appearance, a notable reference to the Magician is made in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (GBA)|the Gameboy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids]], in the level '[[The kids' hamlet]]' from the [[Child (world)|Child world]]. In certain area, a grey [[Rabbid]] wearing the Magician's top hat won't let Rayman pass. Much like the Magician, the bunny proposes Rayman to play a minigame with limited time. Rayman must enter his tent and play a minigame called 'Shoot a Rabbid', where he has to shoot carrots at targets with the face of a Rabbid, and avoid shooting at the ones with the face of [[Murfy]]. If Rayman completes the challenge successfully, the Rabbid will let Rayman pass through the rest of the level.

He has also been seen wearing shirts of two colours – in the introduction sequence of ''Rayman'', he wears a purple shirt with two blue buttons, but in the game itself, this is blue with golden buttons. The colour of his shoes – purple and orchid – remain the same, but with different stripe patterns. He is also noticeably shorter than Rayman is in ''Rayman'', but in the educational games, he is approximately the same height as [[Betilla the Fairy]]. According to ''[[English with Rayman]]'', the Magician has a cousin named [[Andrew]].

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Magician is no longer a member of Rayman's species – like several other characters, he has been redesigned to better fit the world established in the ''Rayman'' sequels.

His presence could prove his survival to the explosion in Rayman Origins; however, his previous betrayal makes dubious his role in this game.

Rayman must enter his tent and play a minigame called 'Shoot a Rabbid', where he has to shoot carrots at targets with the face of a Rabbid, and avoid shooting at the ones with the face of [[Murfy]]. If Rayman completes the challenge successfully, the Rabbid will let Rayman pass through the rest of the level.

The '''Golem''', also refered as '''Golly G. Golem''' (by the [[Golly G. Golem|level with the same name]]) is the boss of the [[Mystical Pique]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He is a big living rock statue, though only seems to be sculpted from head to shoulders, as the rest of his body is an irregular rock mass. Due his lack of limbs, he is limited to just move his body up and down, using the [[Darkroot]]s that surround him as his main weapon to attack [[Rayman]]. He is possibly the ruler amongst the [[Stone man|Stone men]], much like [[Mr Stone]] in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. Is unknown if he has any alliance with the [[Livid Dead]] or the [[Magician]]. In an E3 trailer for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', a green Golem can be seen being hit by [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]]. This green Golem also appears on the game's cover, he seems to be more based on a grassier element.

The '''Grand Minimus''' is a group of four [[Teensie]]s who first appear in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. They are the kings of the Teensie race, and oversee [[the Hall of Doors]], [[the Isle of Doors]] or the [[Teensie Circle]]s, depending on the version of the game. In ''[[Rayman M]]'', two of them are playable.

==Description==
The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the sole King of the Teensies. However, after [[Admiral Razorbeard]] locked the Grand Minimus up in a small [[cage]] with three other Teensies presumably of relation to the King (such as friends, advisors, relatives, etc.; their relation is never given) in [[the Woods of Light]], the four [[Teensie]]s eventually came to forget which one of them was the King. In fact, not even the King himself could remember. The four Teensies later decided that, as it was impossible to determine who was King, all four would rule over the Teensies together as the Grand Minimus.

The Grand Minimus live deep in [[the Fairy Council]], though they have been known to travel to the Woods of Light every now and then.

All four of the Minimus wear refined green robes, and at least one has a tall crown on his head. As seen in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Grand Minimus have a talkative personality and enjoy gossiping about recent news. Also, it is seen in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' that the Minimus have a taste for disco, and enjoy the company of a disco ball and many other disco-loving subjects in their chamber, dancing day and night.

In ''Rayman 2'', it is soon confirmed that the Grand Minimus are the guardians of [[the Hall of Doors]], assigned by [[Polokus]] himself after being created for that purpose. They are wise and powerful, though they seldom show it. Similar to [[Ly the Fairy]], at least one member of the Grand Minimus is capable of creating [[Silver Lum|Silver Lums]]. One is used by the Grand Minimus in ''Rayman 2'', while a second is additionally used in ''Revolution''. As may be seen in ''Rayman 3'', the Grand Minimus also have the responsibility of guarding the [[Heart of the World]], which resides in their throne room.

==Role in the games==
[[Image:Grand Minimus Woods of Light.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The four Grand Minimus [[Teensie]]s introduce themselves to [[Rayman]] in [[the Woods of Light]].]]
===''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''===
The Grand Minimus make their debut appearance when [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] destroys the cage at the end of [[the Woods of Light]]. Rayman hopes to ask them as to the whereabouts of [[Ly the Fairy]], but is unsuccessful as the Minimus is distracted by the fact that they are unable to agree on who the real king is. After repeatedly grabbing the single crown from eachother's head and declaring to be king, Rayman gets frustrated and interrupts their clammor. Intimidated and worrisome as to Ly's bad news, the Teensies hush immediately and hesitantly back away. The last Teensie standing forward is quickly handed the crown.

The king then gives Rayman the bad news about Ly, but explains that Ly is being held nearby in the [[Fairy Glade]]. If Rayman has already collected five [[Yellow Lum]]s, he will have collected enough energy to revitalize the king's magic powers. However, if Rayman is missing just one Lum, the king will send Rayman back to get the rest.

Magic restored, the king gives Rayman a good-bye speech before creating a [[Silver Lum]]. The Silver Lum drops down into a nearby abyss and explodes into a giant [[Magic Spiral Door]]. Rayman leaps into the door and leaves the Teensies.

Rayman next encounters the Grand Minimus as he enters the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] level ([[Whale Bay]] in the PS Version). By now, the Grand Minimus have done some thinking, and have decided that all four would share being king. Standing in a line, each king would say a few sentences before walking to the end of the line as the next Teensie takes the crown and then takes his turn being king. Considering Rayman has enough Lums, the Grand Minimus open the doors to the Sanctuary. This sequence occurs again before the [[Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] and [[Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] levels.

The Grand Minimus is last seen in the final scene following [[the Crow's Nest]].

====''[[Rayman Revolution]]''====
Following acquisition of the crown, the king explains that both [[Globox]] and [[Ly the Fairy]] were captured by the [[Robo-Pirate Army]]. The Grand Minimus hasn't the slightest clue where Globox is, but believe that the [[Crowned Teensie|Teensie]] at the [[Minisaurus Plains]]' [[Teensie Circle]] knows where Ly was taken. Considering Rayman has five Yellow Lums collected, the king produces what appears to be a [[Silver Lum]] and sends it towards Rayman. Rayman then excitedly learns the [[magic fist]] ability. The king hops onto a pedestal and produces a second Silver Lum, which drops into a nearby void. The Lum explodes and turns into a [[Magic Spiral Door]]. After giving a farewell speech, the Grand Minimus sends Rayman off to the [[The Front|Front]].

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', three crowned Teensies attend to the three Teensie Circles, and another three attend to the three Magic Wells. The one who attends to the Circle in Rainbow Creek is referred to a "the King of the Teensies" by the in-game instructions which appear when the player presses the Select button on the PlayStation 2 controller.

===''[[Rayman M]]''===
Two of the four Teensies in the Grand Minimus participate in the races and battles of ''Rayman M'' as one of the initial playable characters. Being that Teensies are considerably short, the two Teensies race by carrying one on top of the other.

===''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''===
In ''Rayman 3'', the Grand Minimus make their brief appearance at the end of the [[Fairy Council]] world. Rayman chases [[Andre]] and eventually arrives at their throne room, only to find it full of dancing Teensies and flashing disco lights. At the other end of the room, the Grand Minimus have [[Globox]] in their clutches. As Rayman approaches them, the Minimus tell him that Globox cannot stay in the throne room for fear that Andre could escape. To save Globox, the Grand Minimus open a portal to the [[Teensie Highway]] and explain to Rayman that he must take Globox to the [[Otto|Teensie Doctor]] in the [[Clearleaf Forest]]. ''Rayman 3'' was the first game to give the sovereign Teensies the name "Grand Minimus".

[[File:Teensie_King_RK.PNG|thumb|200px|Right|The Grand Minimus as he appears in ''[[Rayman Kart]]'']]

===''[[Rayman Kart]]''===
The Grand Minimus is a playable characters in ''Rayman Kart''. He is the third character to unlock and his special power is to warp himself in the first place.

===''[[Rayman Origins]]''===
The Grand Minimus is a major character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He makes his first appareance during the cinematic introduction of the game, taking a nap with his friends Rayman, Globox, the [[Goth Teensie]] and the [[Bubble Dreamer]], and making grumbling noises while sleeping on Globox's back. The noises of the group annoy their neighbours, the [[Livid Dead]], and they decide to lock them in cages at the [[Snoring Tree]]. Weirdly, after that the Grand Minimus is not seen, and is replaced by a regular [[Green Teensie]], becoming an unlockable character, possibly due development issues. Something similar happend with the ''[[Teensie Wizard]]'' replaced by the Goth Teensie.

The Grand Minimus' role as a king doesn't take any relevance in the plot, but the lack of the other members of the Grand Minimus may imply that they finally decided who would be the real Grand Minimus. However, another Crowned Teensie called the [[Fire Teensie]] can be seen at the World Map and as a playable character, possibly implying that the problem between the kings is still in play, or that this king is the Grand Minimus himself but tortured by the inhabitants of [[Infernal Kitchen]] (As mentioned by the Bubble Dreamer). A zombie teensie with a gnawed crown also makes an appearance; the Bubble Dreamer identifies him as [[The First Grand Minimus]].

==Lookalikes==
In ''Revolution'' and ''Rayman 3'', similar-looking [[crowned Teensie|crowned Teensies]] make frequent appearances. It is generally regarded that this is not the Minimus, as there are more crowned Teensies than there are in the Minimus. However, it is unknown how the crowned Teensies are related to the Grand Minimus.

==Trivia==
*Of all the characters in ''Rayman 2'', the Grand Minimus undergo the greatest voice change between the PS version of ''Rayman 2'' and ''Revolution''. In the PS ''Rayman 2'', they sound like wise old men, while in ''Revolution'' they have high-pitched, squeaky voices.
*''Rayman 2'''s Grand Minimus theme song includes ceaseless murmurs by the Teensies, subtly indicating the talkative personality further explored in ''Revolution''.
*''Rayman 3'''s Grand Minimus theme song reflects the music style of the American 60s.

[[Image:raymanmarenarushskins.png|thumb|All Skins in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]'']]

'''Skins''' are unlocked in ''[[Rayman M]]''/''[[Rayman Arena|Arena]]''/''[[Rayman Rush|Rush]]''. Most of the characters earning them in ''Rayman M'', but all the characters get a skin in ''Rayman Arena'' and ''Rayman Origins''. Each character unlocks up to three skins in ''Rayman M'', but in ''Rayman Arena'', all competitors have four skins each, except for [[Dark Globox]], [[Rayman]], [[Tily]], [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] and [[Razorwife]], who only get one. Each skin (but Rayman's) changes the beat for the character's theme to what it is most suited to (e.g., Globox has his strawberry skin and is racing in the Extreme League. The beat for the Extreme League racing is fast, and the beat for the Advanced League is light and watery. Globox's skin will change the beat from the Extreme League to the Advanced League.). But if it is in its League, it will change to the Beginner League's beat (thumping in the background). The skins do not have this effect on battles. It is unnoticeable, but may be true that the skins in their league make the event slightly easier.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', there are 16 playable characters with different skins based on the original animated models of Rayman, Globox and the Teensies. Each character has an unique appearance and a backstory slightly hinted by the [[Bubble Dreamer]]'s comments at the [[Snoring Tree]], but their movements and animations are the same. As an exception, Globox Rayman and Red Globox appear to be Rayman and Globox themselves, but with a different colour palette. New characters are unlocked in [[bubble]]s by collecting a certain number of [[Electoon]]s indicated by [[Murfy]] at the Snoring Tree. After beating the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]], players are able to choose the same character, and play using the same skin.

After beating the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]], players are able to choose the same character, and play using the same skin.

In ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', he has other skins, one which is him having yellow skin all over him, apart from his head, and is blue flowered, and another which is him wearing a white and black striped jacket and pants, a white shirt and a black tie, in an homage to the title character of Tim Burton's film ''Beetlejuice''. One of his beta skins is similar to Superman's outfit.
===[[Henchman 800]]===
Henchman 800's Advanced League skin is a metallic green, and a small, human like eye, with his other completely pink, which could be possibly a brain. His Expert League is a gold and dark red paint job. His Extreme League skin is a wooden plating and hints of green paint.

The '''Fire Teensie''' is an unlockable [[Teensie]] character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. 80 [[Electoons]] are needed to unlock him at the [[Snoring Tree]]. He bears a strong resemblance to the [[Grand Minimus]], but wears a fire-themed black coat.

Unlike most of the unlockable characters in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Fire Teensie plays a substantial role in-game. He can be found on the level-selection map of each world, standing alongside the entrances to the [[Tricky Treasure]] chase levels. His role is simply to tell the player how many [[Electoon]]s are required to access these levels. The Fire Teensie is the only playable character to feature full dialogues; he speaks in [[Raymanian|Pig Latin]].

The Fire Teensie is just a regular [[Crowned Teensie]] (or perhaps the Grand Minimus himself), who as mentioned by the [[Bubble Dreamer]], was tortured by the inhabitants of the [[Infernal Kitchen]] in the [[Gourmand Land]]. He has crooked teeth, a broken nose and several physical anomalies, like claws on his fingers, red eyes, chest hair and light-green skin; his crown also seems to be deformed. Despite his appearance, the Bubble Dreamer motivates him to stay positive, and suggests him to go see the world.

'''Douglas Rand''', sometimes credited as '''Doug Rand''', is a voice actor who has performed in numerous games in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]].

He voiced at least one character in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], though the character's identity is unclear; the Internet Movie Database identifies Rand's character as [[Mr Dark]], whose only vocalisations are two instances of laughter. Rand also provided voice work in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', 'Additional Voices' in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', and 'Human Characterisation' in ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]''. Rand then voiced every single male character (with the exception of [[Teensette]]) in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' (all three of the game's other voice actors were female).

'''Goth Teensie''' is a major playable character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He wears a black shirt with a red belt, a black coat with red edges, and a small conical black hat.

However, at the beginning of the story he's found irresponsibly taking a nap with his friends [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], the [[Grand Minimus]] and the Bubble Dreamer. Their noises annoy the Livid Dead, and then they escape and invade the [[Glade of Dreams]] to take revenge. Although the Goth Teensie is supposed to be the guard of the door, the [[Grim Reaper]] apparently replaces him, but instead of preventing the escape of the livid dead, he just doesn't let anyone enter the Dead Door. The way in which the Goth Teensie inhales a small [[fly]] while snoring during the cinematic introduction of the game is possibly a reference to the first trailer of ''Beyond Good and Evil 2'' (a game also developed by [[Michel Ancel]]), when Pey'j inhales a fly with his nose.

[[Image:raymanmarenarushskins.png|thumb|All Skins in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]'']]

'''Skins''' are unlocked in ''[[Rayman M]]''/''[[Rayman Arena|Arena]]''/''[[Rayman Rush|Rush]]''. Most of the characters earning them in ''Rayman M'', but all the characters get a skin in ''Rayman Arena'' and ''Rayman Origins''. Each character unlocks up to three skins in ''Rayman M'', but in ''Rayman Arena'', all competitors have four skins each, except for [[Dark Globox]], [[Rayman]], [[Tily]], [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] and [[Razorwife]], who only get one. Each skin (but Rayman's) changes the beat for the character's theme to what it is most suited to (e.g., Globox has his strawberry skin and is racing in the Extreme League. The beat for the Extreme League racing is fast, and the beat for the Advanced League is light and watery. Globox's skin will change the beat from the Extreme League to the Advanced League.). But if it is in its League, it will change to the Beginner League's beat (thumping in the background). The skins do not have this effect on battles. It is unnoticeable, but may be true that the skins in their league make the event slightly easier.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', there are 16 playable characters with different skins based on the original animated models of Rayman, Globox and the Teensies. Each character has an unique appearance and a backstory slightly hinted by the [[Bubble Dreamer]]'s comments at the [[Snoring Tree]], but their movements and animations are the same. As an exception, Globox Rayman and Red Globox appear to be Rayman and Globox themselves, but with a different colour palette. New characters are unlocked in [[bubble]]s by collecting a certain number of [[Electoon]]s indicated by [[Murfy]] at the Snoring Tree. After beating the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]], players are able to choose the same character, and play using the same skin.

The Fire Grand Minimus is a teensie king, possibly meaning the war between the [[crowned Teensie]]s is still going, or perhaps this is the Grand Minimus himself, as mentioned by the [[Bubble Dreamer]] he was tortured by the inhabitants of the Infernal Kitchens.

'''The Original Grand Minimus''' is an unlockable [[Teensie]] character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. 95 [[Electoon]]s are needed to unlock him at the [[Snoring Tree]]. He bears a strong resemblance to the [[Grand Minimus]], but appears to be older, more decrepit, and zombified. He wears a grey gnawed crown, a purple coat and a dark-green shirt; all of them apparently rotten. Unlike most of the Teensies, his skin is dark-blue and hairy, with a skull-shaped spot in his nose, and his eyes are completely pink, without visible pupils. Despite his physical condition, he shares the exact moveset as the other playable characters. He acts as a dark counterpart to the Teensie characters, and in this sense he is comparable to [[DarkRay]] and [[Glombrox]], and can be seen along with them in the Halloween trailer of the game, walking like a zombie and trying to scare a [[Granny]], who realizes their presence and quickly smacks them with her handbag.

The Original Grand Minimus was the first Teensie King in the entire legacy, but he retired presumably due to his old age, or his possible abrupt death. He is an ancestor of the younger Grand Minimus that appears in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The Original Grand Minimus shall not be confused with the [[Griskin]]s, another race of undead Teensies; these are more related to spiritual beings than zombified bodies.

'''Mr Dark''' is [[Rayman]]'s arch-nemesis, and a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. A diabolical and mysterious shape-shifting sorcerer, Mr Dark has attempted to disrupt the balance of [[the Glade of Dreams]] on several occasions, but is always thwarted by Rayman. He usually hides beneath a shadowy cloak and hat. His first appearance is as the main antagonist and final boss in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. He is encountered in [[Mr Dark's Dare]], the first and only level of the [[Candy Château]], which is the last of the game's six worlds. He is a mysterious being that steals [[the Great Protoon]] because of its immense power, causing the world to lose its natural stability. He also uses his powers to defeat [[Betilla the Fairy]], who tries to defend the Great Protoon but is overpowered. At a later point of the game, Mr Dark kidnaps her and traps her in a crystal ball. Mr Dark also makes a significant appearance in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', an educational spin-off of the original game. Although is unclear if Mr Dark made a direct appearance in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', his identity as a villain takes a major role at the end of the game in [[The Reveal]].

==In ''[[Rayman]]''==
Before fighting [[Rayman]], Mr Dark casts strange spells on him as he makes progress through [[Candy Château]], such as creating [[Bad Rayman]], reversing [[Rayman]]'s movements, making him run uncontrollably and eventually stealing his [[telescopic fist]]. Following this, by the time Rayman reaches his hideout, he tries to destroy him by trapping him between deadly walls of fire and throws fire balls at him. When his situation seems desperate, a group of [[Electoon]]s rescue [[Rayman]] by giving him back his [[telescopic fist]]. The final battle then begins: Rayman must battle Mr Dark, who transforms into hybrids of the previous five bosses. These hybrids each have Mr Dark's face as their resistance icon.

The first transformation is a mixture of [[Mr Stone]] and [[Mr Skops]]. His is compoised of [[Mr Stone]]'s body, feet and right hand, together with [[Mr Skops]]' head and claw. His only attack consists of hurling his claw at [[Rayman]], which he can jump over and punch him in the face. If [[Rayman]] attempts to punch him too early, the monster will block his face with his claw. It is possible, with a certain timing and dexterity, to hit him up to three times per turn. After he has suffered eight blows to the face, the monster vanishes.

[[Image:MrDark.png|thumb|316px|left|Mr Dark fighting [[Rayman]] at the end of [[Rayman 1|the original game]]]]

The second transformation is a pair of identical monsters. Each one appears to be made of [[Moskito]]'s body and [[Space Mama]]'s head and feet (as seen in her first appearance in [[Eraser Plains]]), along with her hands and rolling pin, which fires lasers (as seen in her second appearance in [[Space Mama's Crater]]. Their only attack is shooting lasers, which Rayman can jump over or duck under. If both of them shoot at the same height, the lasers collide each other, morph into one laser, and fall straight down towards the ground, which can be difficult for [[Rayman]] to avoid if he is ducking. When Rayman gets the chance, he can punch either one of the two. It is also possible to trick them into shooting one another. Both monsters share a single resistance bar; it is possible to defeat them both by punching only one. When they have been damaged eight times, the monsters vanish.

The third and final transformation is a mixture of [[Mr Sax]], [[Space Mama]], and [[Moskito]]. He is composed of Space Mama's body, Mr Sax's feet and hands and Moskito's head. This monster's only attack is jumping about with the use of Mr Sax's feet. At the start of this fight, [[Rayman]] is shrunk to the same size he would have been had he touched a [[Flying Blue Elf]]. As the monster tries to stomp him, Rayman must use his running ability to avoid getting squashed. Whenever the monster hits the ground, Rayman is bounced up into the air by the impact, giving him a chance punch the monster in Moskito's face, which is his only weak spot.

Once the third transformation has suffered eight punches, he vanishes, and [[Rayman]] is returned to his normal size. It would seem that Mr Dark was defeated by the final punch to the head of the third form, and fled the [[Candy Château|château]] once beaten.

The Atari Jaguar version makes it more explicit that these hybrids are transformations of Mr Dark. In this version, the Moskito/Space Mama hybrids are absent, so the fight consists of only two rounds: the first against the [[Mr Stone]]/[[Mr Skops]] mixture, and the second against the [[Moskito]]/[[Mr Sax]]/[[Space Mama]] mixture. The two monsters share a single health bar with Mr Dark's face as its icon: when half of the first monster's health is depleted, he clicks his claw several times, creating a shower of sparks, then walks off the screen, visibly sweating. The final monster then appears, with half of his health already gone. (Rayman is not shrunk in this version, and does not need to be bounced into the air in order to punch his head). Once all of his health has been depleted, it looks straight at the camera, sweats, and flies straight into the air. [[Electoon]] icons fly across the screen as Rayman celebrates his victory.

==In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']]==

[[Image:GBC 76.PNG|frame|left|Mr Dark as he appears in the [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']]]]
[[Image:Mr_dark_1.png|frame|right|Mr Dark holding a [[cage]] of captured [[Electoon|Toons]] in [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version]]]]

In the [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color release of ''Rayman'']], Mr Dark has imprisoned the [[Electoon|Toons]] and uses their power for himself, throwing the world into darkness and chaos. Unlike the original, he does not transform himself when he engages in a final boss battle with Rayman. In between each level he can also be seen watching Rayman though a crystal ball.

In [[Arcane Forest]], he casts two spells on Rayman, the first one summoning [[Bad Rayman]], and the second one reversing Rayman's controls.

[[Image:GBC11.png|frame|right|Mr Dark fighting Rayman on a high peak at the end of the game]]

The final battle starts out with Mr Dark shielding himself from Rayman's [[telescopic fist|fist]] with three bubble-like balls. Then, he slowly rises up, and when he is off screen, he rains fire upon him from above. After ten to fifteen fire balls are dropped, he descends back down to the stage, while still having the shield around himself, and turns into a ball. While in ball form, he randomly floats around the stage trying to ram Rayman. His objective is to hit him while he is in ball form three times. But as he hits him, he gets smaller and smaller, and becomes harder to hit. After hitting him three times, a heart appears at the top of the stage so he can replenish his health. Mr Dark turns back to normal, and then he floats off screen again.

This time, Mr Dark throws ten meteors at Rayman, two at a time. Then, he does the same routine as before: he comes back down, and turns into a ball. But this time, he will stay in ball form for a shorter period than before, and if Rayman can't manage to hit him three times within the time limit, he will turn back to normal and float back up into the sky to throw meteors at him again. If Rayman does hit him three times, a heart will appear once again, and he will rise back up into the sky to unleash his final attack.

This time, he shoots sixteen bolts of lightning. They are shot at the step he was just above on the stage, and can be easily avoided by using the [[Helicopter]] to hover over a lower step for a short time. After the sixteen bolts of lightning are shot, he turns back into ball form. Then, the time he is in ball form for even shorter. But if Rayman manages to hit him three times before he turns back to normal, he has beaten him. He turns back to normal form, burns up, and a spirit shape appears, then he completely fades from existence.

[[Image:RJMrDark 001.PNG|thumb|left|Mr Dark as seen in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'']]

==In ''[[Rayman Junior]]''==
Mr Dark also appears in the educational version of ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', in which he steals the [[Magic Book of Knowledge]] from [[the Magician]] and destroys a map to [[Mr Dark's lair|his hideout]] in [[Candy Château]]. He casts the same spells on Rayman as he did in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], but due to the game's educational nature, he doesn't fight as a boss at all. Once Rayman has solved the riddles on the parchment showing the way to [[Mr Dark's lair|his hideout]] and been through his spells, Mr Dark doesn't appear any more and Rayman eventually finds [[Magic Book of Knowledge|the Book of Knowledge]].

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==
[[Image:Char-mr-dark.png|thumb|right|320px|The mysterious villain of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'']]
The second trailer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' shows a brief glimpse of a [[Teensie]] with a top hat and a dark cloak, standing on a stone platform, surrounded by [[Darktoon]]s and [[Psychlops]]. Several months later, clearer artwork of the character was released, and the official website confirmed him to be Mr Dark, stating ‘The archenemy from Rayman 1 returns’. However, the same section of the site also claims that [[Soldier]]s and [[piranha]]s are in the game, which is not correct; the game's final manual contains an updated version of the same information, and makes no mention of Soldiers, piranhas or Mr Dark. He is mentioned if the player pulls on the [[Bubble Dreamer]]s beard as [[DarkRay]], blaming Mr Dark for DarkRay's ugliness. Other than that, the game itself contains no references to Mr Dark making a plan to take over [[the Glade of Dreams]] as in previous games, as the game does not seem to have a fixed plot or a real villain. However, in the level '[[The Reveal]]', the heroes discover that [[the Magician]] is the one responsible for the evil steampunk empire of the [[Moody Clouds]]. A diagram on the wall explains that he has been collecting the heroes' [[Lum]]s throughout the game and using them to power his machines. In response to his cover being blown, the Magician rips the golden star off his top hat, showing more clearly his resemblance with the artwork of Mr Dark, and possibly revealing him to have been Mr Dark the whole time, faking a friendship with Rayman.

However, there are some issues that make this character's identity less clear. An early script found within the files of the game's demo contains scrapped dialogue which indicates that the Magician was not intended to be Mr Dark himself, but a fan and admirer of him, loosely pretending to be as mysterious and evil as him; one of his lines is ‘I always wanted to be like Mr. Dark: mysterious, dark!...um, dark and mysterious..’. The script also reveals that the Magician's real name is Ales Mansay, and that he became embittered and corrupted when he was bullied at magic school for his poor magical abilities. He eventually disguised himself as his hero, Mr Dark, and hid a microphone in [[the Snoring Tree]] to start a war between [[Rayman]] and the [[Livid Dead]] while he himself set to work building an army of mechas (powered by the Lums given to him by the clueless heroes) that he could use to take over [[the Glade of Dreams]] and free it from the rule of [[Polokus]], whom he considered to be an ineffectual and useless leader, unable to protect his own people from his nightmares. It is unknown why this material was removed from the game. It may be that these ideas were scrapped like several other concepts from the script, and that the Magician is actually Mr Dark's alter ego. However, in the final version of the game, there are still several posters in the Magician's headquarters, some with pictures of Mr Dark's silhouette, and one with '♥ Mister D' written on it, hinting that the original storyline may still hold true. The Mr Dark seen on these posters looks quite different from the Magician; his hat is shaped more like an inverted triangle, and his arms are long and thin, but these differences may simply be a holdover from an earlier version of the game where the original storyline was still in play.

[[Image:2D Madness ending.png|thumb|320px|right|A picture of Mr Dark can be seen on the floor to the left at the ending of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'''s [[2D Madness]] minigame. This represents Mr Dark's only appearance in a 3D ''Rayman'' game to date.]]

==In other games==
Mr Dark is referred to by name in the manual for ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', where it is revealed that his defeat at the hands of [[Rayman]] is what convinced the inhabitants of [[the Glade of Dreams]] that the hero was trustworthy. However, he makes no actual appearance in the game.

Previews of [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|the cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']] mention that the [[Robo-Pirate]] invasion took place after Mr Dark fled [[the valley|Rayman's island]] following the events of [[Rayman 1|the first game]]. It is not known if Mr Dark was ever planned to have a larger role in this game; other characters from the original, including [[Betilla the Fairy]], were intended to make an appearance.

Mr Dark makes an almost unnoticeably subtle cameo appearance in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. At the end of the [[2D Madness]] minigame, a few photographs from [[Rayman 1|the original game]] are glimpsed briefly, and between them they show almost all of the game's characters, including Mr Dark. In addition, the design of the game's titular [[Hoodlum]] enemies was conceived as a visual mixture between Mr Dark and the [[Hunter]]s.

Prickly fruit

[[image:MoskitoPoursuite.png|right|thumb|316px|[[Moskito]] is pursuing [[Rayman]] with a huge spiky fruit]]

'''Spiky fruits''' are dangerous items found in [[the Dream Forest]]. They exist in various sizes and are red in colour (except for the PlayStation & Jaguar versions where they feature other colours).

The most common type is a small, red fruit that falls when [[Rayman]] passes under it and hurts him if not dodged. They freely grow in the forest and can be found on rockers, but are also used by [[Moskito]] to attack [[Rayman]]. In the PlayStation & Jaguar versions, they are yellow, except for those on rockers which are red too.

A bigger type, about as large as [[Rayman]], is thrown at him by [[Moskito]]. They are red in all versions, including PlayStation & Jaguar.

The last type is almost of the size of the whole screen, and is used by [[Moskito]] to attack [[Rayman]] too. However, he never throws them, but only carries them with difficulty to hurt him with them. Before the battle, [[Rayman]] is pursued by [[Moskito]] carrying one of those fruits, and must rush to the end sign. During the boss battle, [[Rayman]] only needs to duck to avoid them. In the PlayStation & Jaguar versions, they are purple, just like [[plum]]s.

Spiky fruit's were originally going to appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but were scrapped for unknown reasons. Rayman can be seen running past them in an early E3 trailer.

[[Image:Ta-Ray-Zan.png|left|thumb|316px|[[Rayman]] must help Tarayzan to get his clothes back]]

'''Tarayzan''' is a character who appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. As his name suggests, Tarayzan is a pastiche of Tarzan combined with Rayman. He is clearly a member of [[Rayman]]'s species; apart from his black hair, earring and leopard-skin toga, he looks almost identical to Rayman.

[[Rayman]] first meets Tarayzan in a rainy area that is the first part of [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], the third level in [[the Dream Forest]]. Tarayzan has lost his toga after getting it caught on a branch, and is now hiding behind a bush, embarassed at his nakedness. He can be seen murmuring and pointing awkwardly at his clothing. When Rayman jumps up and [[telescopic fist|punches]] the toga, it falls and flutters down to Tarayzan, who puts it back on and is now able to leave the shelter of the bush. As an expression of his gratitude for Rayman, Tarayzan gives Rayman a [[magic seed]], which can be used repeatedly to grow huge flowers. Tarayzan then yodels and leaps back up amongst the trees. When Rayman first plants the magic seed, a rising flood (accompanied by morbid music) starts, and Rayman must use the seed repeatedly in order to ascend to the [[exit sign]] and escape the water.

Tarayzan is seen again in the game's epilogue screen, where he is celebrating [[Rayman]]'s victory along with all of the other friendly characters. He later goes on holiday with the other characters, and is seen on a beach with Rayman and [[Joe the Extra-Terrestrial|Joe]] in one of the photographs displayed during the end credits.

In ''[[Rayman Gold]]'' his voice can be heard. He speaks very quickly and high-pitched, saying "Hey Rayman! Take this magic seed!".

In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'' [[Rayman]] can wear a costume that makes him look similar to Tarayzan.

Tarayzan was going to be an unlockable [[skin]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but he was removed from the final game. The [[Bubble Dreamer]] refers to him as Rayman's ‘cuz’, though it is not clear if this is meant to denote a literal kinship. If Tarayzan is Rayman's cousin, he was presumably created by one of [[Betilla the Fairy|Betilla]]'s [[nymph]] sisters; the Bubble Dreamer mentions that they have cooked up other ‘recipes’ than Rayman. Repeated reference is also made to events in [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], including the incident with the leopard-skin and the magic seeds.

Skin

2011-12-30T15:06:52Z

Rayboxsiebid: /* Rayman */

{{stub}}

[[Image:raymanmarenarushskins.png|thumb|All Skins in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]'']]

'''Skins''' are unlocked in ''[[Rayman M]]''/''[[Rayman Arena|Arena]]''/''[[Rayman Rush|Rush]]''. Most of the characters earning them in ''Rayman M'', but all the characters get a skin in ''Rayman Arena'' and ''Rayman Origins''. Each character unlocks up to three skins in ''Rayman M'', but in ''Rayman Arena'', all competitors have four skins each, except for [[Dark Globox]], [[Rayman]], [[Tily]], [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] and [[Razorwife]], who only get one. Each skin (but Rayman's) changes the beat for the character's theme to what it is most suited to (e.g., Globox has his strawberry skin and is racing in the Extreme League. The beat for the Extreme League racing is fast, and the beat for the Advanced League is light and watery. Globox's skin will change the beat from the Extreme League to the Advanced League.). But if it is in its League, it will change to the Beginner League's beat (thumping in the background). The skins do not have this effect on battles. It is unnoticeable, but may be true that the skins in their league make the event slightly easier.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', there are 16 playable characters with different skins based on the original animated models of Rayman, Globox and the Teensies. Each character has an unique appearance and a backstory slightly hinted by the [[Bubble Dreamer]]'s comments at the [[Snoring Tree]], but their movements and animations are the same. As an exception, Globox Rayman and Red Globox appear to be Rayman and Globox themselves, but with a different colour palette. New characters are unlocked in [[bubble]]s by collecting a certain number of [[Electoon]]s indicated by [[Murfy]] at the Snoring Tree. After beating the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]], players are able to choose the same character, and play using the same skin.

A bigger type, about as large as [[Rayman]], is thrown at him by [[Moskito]]. They are red in all versions, including PlayStation & Jaguar.

The last type is almost of the size of the whole screen, and is used by [[Moskito]] to attack [[Rayman]] too. However, he never throws them, but only carries them with difficulty to hurt him with them. Before the battle, [[Rayman]] is pursued by [[Moskito]] carrying one of those fruits, and must rush to the end sign. During the boss battle, [[Rayman]] only needs to duck to avoid them. In the PlayStation & Jaguar versions, they are purple, just like [[plum]]s.

Spiky fruit's were originally going to appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but were scrapped for unknown reasons. Rayman can be seen hitting one in an early E3 trailer.

'''Glombrox''' is a character so far appearing only in [[Rayman Origins]]. He is one of the three playable [[Glute]]s in the game, and the only one who is not refered as [[Globox]] in different conditions (Blue and Red). He is the last unlockable character of the game.

==Description==
'''Glombrox''' appears to be the evil clone of [[Globox]], much like how [[Bad Rayman|DarkRay]] is [[Rayman]]'s evil double. This is supported by the fact that both DarkRay and Glombrox share the colour scheme of purple bodies and entirely yellow eyes, as well as the fact that Glombrox shares his height, fighting style and body shape with Globox, although he can just be another Glute, described by the [[Bubble Dreamer]] as a dangerous criminal with a poor personal hygiene. He is the last unlockable character in ''Rayman Origins'', and is playable once all 246 [[Electoons]] have been collected.

Recent reports claim that no less than four Teensies squabble over rights to don the Minimus [[crown]]. Now, the evil [[Hoodlum]]s are threatening to seize the Heart of the World – will the real Grand Minimus please stand up?|sign=Press release|source=''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' <ref>GameClubCentral, ''Rayman 3: It’s Teensie Time'', http://www.gameclubcentral.com/index.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=18</ref>}}

The '''Grand Minimus''' is a group of four [[Teensie]]s who first appear in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. They are the kings of the Teensie race, and oversee [[the Hall of Doors]], [[the Isle of Doors]] or the [[Teensie Circle]]s, depending on the version of the game. In ''[[Rayman M]]'', two of them are playable.

==Description==
The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the sole King of the Teensies. However, after [[Admiral Razorbeard]] locked the Grand Minimus up in a small [[cage]] with three other Teensies presumably of relation to the King (such as friends, advisors, relatives, etc.; their relation is never given) in [[the Woods of Light]], the four [[Teensie]]s eventually came to forget which one of them was the King. In fact, not even the King himself could remember. The four Teensies later decided that, as it was impossible to determine who was King, all four would rule over the Teensies together as the Grand Minimus.

The Grand Minimus live deep in [[the Fairy Council]], though they have been known to travel to the Woods of Light every now and then.

All four of the Minimus wear refined green robes, and at least one has a tall crown on his head. As seen in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Grand Minimus have a talkative personality and enjoy gossiping about recent news. Also, it is seen in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' that the Minimus have a taste for disco, and enjoy the company of a disco ball and many other disco-loving subjects in their chamber, dancing day and night.

In ''Rayman 2'', it is soon confirmed that the Grand Minimus are the guardians of [[the Hall of Doors]], assigned by [[Polokus]] himself after being created for that purpose. They are wise and powerful, though they seldom show it. Similar to [[Ly the Fairy]], at least one member of the Grand Minimus is capable of creating [[Silver Lum|Silver Lums]]. One is used by the Grand Minimus in ''Rayman 2'', while a second is additionally used in ''Revolution''. As may be seen in ''Rayman 3'', the Grand Minimus also have the responsibility of guarding the [[Heart of the World]], which resides in their throne room.

==Role in the games==
[[Image:Grand Minimus Woods of Light.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The four Grand Minimus [[Teensie]]s introduce themselves to [[Rayman]] in [[the Woods of Light]].]]
===''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''===
The Grand Minimus make their debut appearance when [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] destroys the cage at the end of [[the Woods of Light]]. Rayman hopes to ask them as to the whereabouts of [[Ly the Fairy]], but is unsuccessful as the Minimus is distracted by the fact that they are unable to agree on who the real king is. After repeatedly grabbing the single crown from eachother's head and declaring to be king, Rayman gets frustrated and interrupts their clammor. Intimidated and worrisome as to Ly's bad news, the Teensies hush immediately and hesitantly back away. The last Teensie standing forward is quickly handed the crown.

The king then gives Rayman the bad news about Ly, but explains that Ly is being held nearby in the [[Fairy Glade]]. If Rayman has already collected five [[Yellow Lum]]s, he will have collected enough energy to revitalize the king's magic powers. However, if Rayman is missing just one Lum, the king will send Rayman back to get the rest.

Magic restored, the king gives Rayman a good-bye speech before creating a [[Silver Lum]]. The Silver Lum drops down into a nearby abyss and explodes into a giant [[Magic Spiral Door]]. Rayman leaps into the door and leaves the Teensies.

Rayman next encounters the Grand Minimus as he enters the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] level ([[Whale Bay]] in the PS Version). By now, the Grand Minimus have done some thinking, and have decided that all four would share being king. Standing in a line, each king would say a few sentences before walking to the end of the line as the next Teensie takes the crown and then takes his turn being king. Considering Rayman has enough Lums, the Grand Minimus open the doors to the Sanctuary. This sequence occurs again before the [[Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] and [[Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] levels.

The Grand Minimus is last seen in the final scene following [[the Crow's Nest]].

====''[[Rayman Revolution]]''====
Following acquisition of the crown, the king explains that both [[Globox]] and [[Ly the Fairy]] were captured by the [[Robo-Pirate Army]]. The Grand Minimus hasn't the slightest clue where Globox is, but believe that the [[Crowned Teensie|Teensie]] at the [[Minisaurus Plains]]' [[Teensie Circle]] knows where Ly was taken. Considering Rayman has five Yellow Lums collected, the king produces what appears to be a [[Silver Lum]] and sends it towards Rayman. Rayman then excitedly learns the [[magic fist]] ability. The king hops onto a pedestal and produces a second Silver Lum, which drops into a nearby void. The Lum explodes and turns into a [[Magic Spiral Door]]. After giving a farewell speech, the Grand Minimus sends Rayman off to the [[The Front|Front]].

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', three crowned Teensies attend to the three Teensie Circles, and another three attend to the three Magic Wells. The one who attends to the Circle in Rainbow Creek is referred to a "the King of the Teensies" by the in-game instructions which appear when the player presses the Select button on the PlayStation 2 controller.

===''[[Rayman M]]''===
Two of the four Teensies in the Grand Minimus participate in the races and battles of ''Rayman M'' as one of the initial playable characters. Being that Teensies are considerably short, the two Teensies race by carrying one on top of the other.

===''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''===
In ''Rayman 3'', the Grand Minimus make their brief appearance at the end of the [[Fairy Council]] world. Rayman chases [[Andre]] and eventually arrives at their throne room, only to find it full of dancing Teensies and flashing disco lights. At the other end of the room, the Grand Minimus have [[Globox]] in their clutches. As Rayman approaches them, the Minimus tell him that Globox cannot stay in the throne room for fear that Andre could escape. To save Globox, the Grand Minimus open a portal to the [[Teensie Highway]] and explain to Rayman that he must take Globox to the [[Otto|Teensie Doctor]] in the [[Clearleaf Forest]]. ''Rayman 3'' was the first game to give the sovereign Teensies the name "Grand Minimus".

[[File:Teensie_King_RK.PNG|thumb|200px|Right|The Grand Minimus as he appears in ''[[Rayman Kart]]'']]

===''[[Rayman Kart]]''===
The Grand Minimus is a playable characters in ''Rayman Kart''. He is the third character to unlock and his special power is to warp himself in the first place.

===''[[Rayman Origins]]''===
The Grand Minimus is a major character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He makes his first appareance during the cinematic introduction of the game, taking a nap with his friends Rayman, Globox, the [[Gothic Teensie]] and the [[Bubble Dreamer]], and making grumbling noises while sleeping on Globox's back. The noises of the group annoy their neighbours, the [[Livid Dead]], and they decide to lock them in cages at the [[Snoring Tree]]. Weirdly, after that the Grand Minimus is not seen, and is replaced by a regular [[Green Teensie]], becoming an unlockable character, possibly due development issues. Something similar happend with the ''[[Teensie Wizard]]'' replaced by the [[Gothic Teensie]].

The Grand Minimus' role as a king doesn't take any relevance in the plot, but the lack of the other members of the Grand Minimus may imply that they finally decided who would be the real Grand Minimus. However, another Crowned Teensie called the [[Fire Grand Minimus]] can be seen at the World Map and as a playable character, possibly implying that the problem between the kings is still in play, or that this king is the Grand Minimus himself but tortured by the inhabitants of [[Infernal Kitchen]] (As mentioned by the Bubble Dreamer). A zombie teensie with a gnawed crown also makes an appearance; the Bubble Dreamer identifies him as [[The Original Grand Minimus]].

==Lookalikes==
In ''Revolution'' and ''Rayman 3'', similar-looking [[crowned Teensie|crowned Teensies]] make frequent appearances. It is generally regarded that this is not the Minimus, as there are more crowned Teensies than there are in the Minimus. However, it is unknown how the crowned Teensies are related to the Grand Minimus.

==Trivia==
*Of all the characters in ''Rayman 2'', the Grand Minimus undergo the greatest voice change between the PS version of ''Rayman 2'' and ''Revolution''. In the PS ''Rayman 2'', they sound like wise old men, while in ''Revolution'' they have high-pitched, squeaky voices.
*''Rayman 2'''s Grand Minimus theme song includes ceaseless murmurs by the Teensies, subtly indicating the talkative personality further explored in ''Revolution''.
*''Rayman 3'''s Grand Minimus theme song reflects the music style of the American 60s.

Bad Rayman

'''Bad Rayman''', known as [[Rayman]]'s '''Wicked Double''' in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', '''Dark Rayman''' in ''[[Rayman Advance]]'' and '''DarkRay''' in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', is an evil duplicate of [[Rayman]]. [[Mr Dark]] created Bad Rayman in one of the final stages of [[Rayman 1|the original game]] for the sole purpose of destroying his original counterpart.

''[[Rayman Arena]]'' features an unlockable skin named [[Dark Rayman]], but this character bears little resemblance to Bad Rayman, despite being based on the same concept.

==Character description==
Bad Rayman's skin is grey, his hair and neckerchief are pink, he wears a dark blue shirt which still has the ring, and his shoes and gloves are also blue. He also has glowing yellow eyes with no pupils. He also has a green tongue, which can be noticed by having him make a grimace in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' or ''[[Rayman Junior]]''. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', his original colouration is mostly preserved, but his hood is blue, and his skin, hair and tounge are purple.

[[Image:BadRayman.png|thumb|320px|left|Bad Rayman in [[Rayman 1|Rayman]]]]

==Videogame appearances==
===''[[Rayman 1|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 the two.<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|educational versions of the game]], 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|Bad Rayman in [[Rayman (GBC)|the Game Boy Color version of the game]]]]

===[[Rayman (GBC)|Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']]===

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 at the end of the game, in [[Arcane Forest]]. Bad Rayman behaves in the same way as he did in the original game - chasing, copying, and causing death upon touch.

===''[[Rayman Origins]]''===

Bad Rayman makes a return in Rayman Origins as a playable character. The [[Bubble Dreamer]] nicknames him Dark Ray. To unlock him, 220 [[electoon]]s are required. His colour scheme is slightly different than in the [[Rayman 1|original game]], with a cyan hood, purple skin, and darker hair. It can be noted that his voice sounds exactly like Rayman's.

{{stub}}

[[Image:raymanmarenarushskins.png|thumb|All Skins in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]'']]

'''Skins''' are unlocked in ''[[Rayman M]]''/''[[Rayman Arena|Arena]]''/''[[Rayman Rush|Rush]]''. Most of the characters earning them in ''Rayman M'', but all the characters get a skin in ''Rayman Arena'' and ''Rayman Origins''. Each character unlocks up to three skins in ''Rayman M'', but in ''Rayman Arena'', all competitors have four skins each, except for [[Dark Globox]], [[Rayman]], [[Tily]], [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] and [[Razorwife]], who only get one. Each skin (but Rayman's) changes the beat for the character's theme to what it is most suited to (e.g., Globox has his strawberry skin and is racing in the Extreme League. The beat for the Extreme League racing is fast, and the beat for the Advanced League is light and watery. Globox's skin will change the beat from the Extreme League to the Advanced League.). But if it is in its League, it will change to the Beginner League's beat (thumping in the background). The skins do not have this effect on battles. It is unnoticeable, but may be true that the skins in their league make the event slightly easier.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', there are 16 playable characters with different skins based on the original animated models of Rayman, Globox and the Teensies. Each character has an unique appearance and a backstory slightly hinted by the [[Bubble Dreamer]]'s comments at the [[Snoring Tree]], but their movements and animations are the same. As an exception, Globox Rayman and Red Globox appear to be Rayman and Globox themselves, but with a different colour palette. New characters are unlocked in [[bubble]]s by collecting a certain number of [[Electoon]]s indicated by [[Murfy]] at the Snoring Tree. After beating the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]], players are able to choose the same character, and play using the same skin.

'''Globox Rayman''' is one of the 16 playable characters in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and one of the two [[skin]]s based on Rayman's animated model. Unlike the other playable characters, he (along with Red Globox) isn't a different character but [[Rayman]] himself, wearing a [[Globox]] costume. He has blue torso, shoes, face, and hair, with several dark-blue spots and a pale yellow "O" in his shirt as well as his globes, mouth and part of his shoes, matching Globox's colour palette. The [[Bubble Dreamer]] at first confuses him with Globox, but then realizes that is Rayman and prejudicially suggests him to go see [[Big Mama|Voodoo Mama]] to find a cure to his disease. He is the first unlockable character of the game, only requiring 5 [[electoon]] [[cages]] to be unlocked, and has the same moveset as Rayman.
