Hello. My real name is Evan. But you can call me by my name "Santeriedelweiss". Don't ask too much about the name as I'm still confused about how I figured it out. Anyways...

On earth, I'm human and I'm 22 years old & I'm still in college, and not really sure of what to do with his life.

In The Glade, I'm an 82 year old [[teensie]] and I'm a photographer & writer, capturing scenarios & crazy shenanigans that happens within the glade. Like my human life, I'm never that sure about my purpose...

I guess what Forrest Gump said is right: "''I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time...''"

Helicopter bomb

[[File:HelicopterBomb-PC-NONCROPPED.JPG|thumb|right|320px|A helicopter bomb flying towards [[Rayman]] in [[the Bayou]]]]

A '''helicopter bomb''' is a type of bomb encountered in several ''Rayman'' games, most notably in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. These bombs fly by means of a mechanical helicopter similar to [[Rayman]]'s signature [[helicopter]] power. They fly directly towards him, and explode upon impact, causing Rayman to lose health. Most of these bombs are manufactured by the [[Robo-Pirate army|Robo-Pirates]], though some helicopter bombs which appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance adaptation of ''Rayman 3'']] may be the creations of [[Hoodlum]]s. In the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', some [[Henchmen 800]] fire helicopter bombs. In all versions, the [[warship]]s can despatch them.

In most versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', a hologram of several helicopter bombs is used to represent [[the Bayou]]. These holograms appear whenever [[Rayman]] approaches the Bayou's [[Spiral Door]] in [[the Hall of Doors]]. The holograms float towards Rayman and explode as they draw near to him, but they do no harm. In the PlayStation version, the Hall of Doors has been substantially redesigned; the helicopter bombs are now used as a symbol for [[the Fairy Glade]]. This makes them the only object used to symbolise multiple levels.

In most of the ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' games, the helicopter bombs explode immediately when hit by one of Raymans attacks, and explode with fire. However, the explosion graphics in the ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' are different: the bombs explode with smoke instead, just as the homing missiles fired by the [[Red Henchman 800|Red Henchmen 800]] in the same version.

Helicopter bombs also appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance adaptation of ''Rayman 3'']], which is a 2D sidescroller like [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. The helicopter bombs here come in three varieties. First there are the standard, explosive helicopter bombs bearing [[Robo-Pirate]] logos; as in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', these can be destroyed with a single hit. This game also introduces two new types of metal helicopter bombs: one apparently manufactured by the [[Hoodlum]]s which are indestructible, and harm [[Rayman]] if he touches them, and other that is sent from the [[Grolgoth]] and it can be punched in order to rebound.

In ''[[Rayman M]]'', the Glue Bomb used in the "Lum Fight" is very similar to the Helicopter Bomb. It is smaller, has a timer that counts down 10 seconds on it, and spins around the player until it blows up or is passed onto another player.

In ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', helicopter bombs are extremely common, and can be found in most levels.

Cookie

2013-01-31T16:28:55Z

SanteriEdelweiss: /* Personality */

{{Character
| name = Cookie
| image = [[Image:Cookie.jpg|center]]
| alignment = Good
| appears in = ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]''
| sex = Male
| species = Mole
| status = Ally
}}

'''Cookie Luvagetto''' is a character who only appears in all four episodes of ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]''. He is one of [[Rayman]]'s friends who must continuously run away from [[Inspector Grub]] as they try to get him and his friends back to the circus. He is played by Carlos Alazraqui.

==Appearance==
Cookie is a mole with a large snout. He has brown fur and stands upright. At the end of his snout is a dog-like nose. He wears a blue bandana around the top of his head. He is very fat, wears a green shirt patterned with squares and similar trousers with a belt around them. He has long, bare arms and he has no shoes, showing huge toes. He is also known to wear glasses.

==Personality==
Cookie has a personality rather like [[Murfy]] from ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. He can be very rude and doesn't seem to care about others much, although he does seem to care about [[Lac-Mac]] more than he lets on. He dislikes [[Rayman]]'s ways because he thinks [[Rayman]] doesn't take things too seriously at times. He is a big complainer, especially when it comes to headaches, is usually pessimistic, and also seems to enjoy cooking. His best friend seems to be [[Lac-Mac]], as he always hangs out with him the most. Lastly, he is very good at fixing things, at the end of the first episode managing to fix someone else's car when it seemed impossible, so they could take it.

== Trivia ==

[[File:MikadoScan.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A scrapped ''[[Rayman 1]]'' character shares some physical similarities with Cookie]]

*A character bearing strong resemblance to Cookie appears on what appears to be early development art for ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. This could suggest that he is based on a scrapped character, much as the series' basic plot-line resembles an early storyline for ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.
*Early concepts for ''The Animated Series'' refer to Cookie under the name 'Fudge'

'''''Rayman M: Multiplayer''''' (known as '''''[[Rayman Arena]]''''' outside of Europe) is a multiplayer spin-off game based on ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. In Europe, it was released only on the Sony PlayStation 2 and PC on the 30th November 2001, while in North America it was released on the Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube in addition to the PlayStation 2 and PC. It is a 3D game which combines racing, battling, and a few traditional platform elements. Unlike the other Rayman games, this game does not have a notable plot, other than that the characters are in a sporting competition.

==Plot==
{{quote|text=[[Rayman]] and his famous acolytes face new challenges in a unique sporting competition: they will confront each other in hard and varied environments to become THE winner of a surprising biathlon: Race and Battle modes.

Pick your character and compete with your opponents within interactive environments littered with power-ups, extreme actions and shooting into hazardous arenas. Catch weapons to pinch your opponents [[lums]], glide across bewitching lagoons and learn to be tough and nimble to take your adversaries by surprise.

Perhaps at least will you succeed to be tougher than [[Rayman]]...|sign=Manual|source=''Rayman M''}}

==Gameplay==
The gameplay in Rayman M is split into two main modes, Racing and Battle.

[[Image:RayMReady.jpg|thumb|right|320px|[[Razorbeard]], [[Globox]], [[Rayman]] and a [[Henchman 800]] at the start of a race in [[Nebulous Tower]]]]

===Racing Mode===
In this mode, the players take part in a foot race and face a number of obstacles depending on which environment they are playing in. There are no power-ups in this mode, although throughout each course there are [[Purple Lum|Purple Lums]], speed ramps and small trampolines that are useful. This mode has four different types of racing game. Obstacles include boxes that the player has to shoot up to eight times in order to pass, bear traps and electric bars.

* '''Training:''' This mode allows the player to explore the course and practice before playing in the other modes, as well as setting their own personal records. Only a single player can play in this mode.
* '''Race:''' This mode involves up to four characters to race each other, the first one to the finish line wins. In single player mode, the other players are computer controlled and there are three laps to run, while in multi-player mode the players can set how many laps to run before winning.
* '''Popolopoï:''' This mode uses a time limit in which a character must complete three laps in. Although the time starts at 20 seconds, the time can be increased by shooting small butterflies called [[Popolopoï]], which come in different colours that represent how much time is given. Only a single player can play in this mode.
*'''Lums:''' In this mode, the player has to complete three laps while collecting the maximum number of [[Yellow Lum|Yellow Lums]] required in order to legally win, and must come in first place as well.
This is also needed later on in the game, as the amount of lums the player collected will be transferred into the amount of time the player gets to finish that particular race in [[On and On]], a bonus race level.
Only a single player can play in this mode.

===Battle Mode===
[[Image:RMBattle.jpg|thumb|right|320px|[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] fight in [[Timber Wood]]]]
Rather than an obstacle course, the Battle mode is made up of an arena in which characters run around playing three different modes. Unlike the Race mode, this mode uses power-ups.

* '''Lum Spring:''' In the mode, the player has to collect as many [[Lum|Lums]] (which unusually look like crystals this time) as they can in order to reach the winning conditions - in a typical game, this is up to five Lums - or before the time runs out. To help him or her prevent the opponents from reaching them first, they are equipped with ice bullets to freeze them, thought the others' shots have to be avoided.

* '''Lum Fight:''' Each player starts with five hit points each, and the player has to knock all of the opponents' hit points in order to score Lums. Each time a player dies, they respawn somewhere else in the arena. A negative Lum is given to a player that loses to a self-infliction. Various power-ups called Generators are scattered around, and contain a different weapon to use against opponents. Uses the same winning conditions as Lum Spring.

* '''Capture the Fly:''' This game is similar to tag - the player has to find a [[Light Fly]] and keep hold of it as long as possible without getting hit by an opponent's shot. The character is equipped with five bounce bullets which are only effective on the player in possession of the Fly. The player that reaches the winning conditions first wins.

==Environment==
''Rayman M'' is set mainly in environments based on those of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. The game consists of four different worlds for each mode, each with three stages. The world the players play in also determines the difficulty of the game, going from Beginner to Advanced. As the player progresses, the harder difficulties are unlocked. Many of the worlds in ''Rayman M'' that resemble locations from ''Rayman 2'' include [[Ly's Palace]], which resembles the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], and the [[Dark Sewer]]s, which are reminiscent of the [[Tomb of the Ancients]].

==Characters==
At the start of the game, five characters are available, and as the player progresses through the game, they'll unlock the remaining characters as well as skins for them. Each character has their own musical theme in the Racing mode, and have their own method of gliding, though they all shoot the same way [[Rayman]] does.

*'''[[Rayman]]:''' The star of the game. He has one unlockable [[skin]] only in Rayman Arena.
*'''[[Globox]]:''' Rayman's best friend, who joined the competition to overcome his shyness (unlike other games he appeared in, he is not scared of the bad guys). He has three unlockable skins.
*'''[[Teensie]]s:''' A pair of [[Grand Minimus]] Teensies. They have three unlockable skins.
*'''[[Admiral Razorbeard]]:''' The irritable lord of the [[Robo-Pirate Army]].
*'''[[Henchman 800]]:''' One of the [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirates]] from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', particularly of the Red variety. He has three unlockable skins.
*'''[[Tily the Fairy|Tily]]:''' A small [[fairy]] speculated to have replaced [[Ly the Fairy]]. Tily must be unlocked.
*'''[[Razorwife]]:''' Admiral Razorbeard's flamboyant wife. Razorwife must be unlocked.
*'''[[Henchman 1000]]:''' An older [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirate]] model. Henchman 1000 must be unlocked. He has three unlockable skins.
*'''[[Dark Globox]]:''' An more evil, dumber, uglier, and certainly ruder version of [[Globox]]. Dark Globox only appears in "Rayman Arena" and must be unlocked.
*'''[[Dark Rayman]]:''' An evil doppelgänger of [[Rayman]]. Dark Rayman only appears in the Gamecube and Xbox version of ''Rayman Arena'' and must be unlocked. He is also the player's opponent through the entire third league in the game, the Master League. He is the main antagonist of ''Rayman Arena''.

==The objects==
Objects are located in racing courses that will give the player special benefits, sometimes intended to slow the player down in a race, or to speed the player up. Some objects refer to ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

* '''Speed ramps''': A blue panel on the ground or platform that will give the player a speed boost for a few seconds by walking over it. Pressing the "special button" when this speed boost is active will grant the player even more extra speed, leaving little clouds of dust behind them.
* '''Bumpers''': A circle 'trampoline' on the ground which propels the player into the air, most often resulting in a shortcut.
* '''[[Nettle]]s''': These look similar to the plants of the same name in [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Lava]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. When the player gets close it will 'whip', her/him resulting in the player to slow down. There are many types of nettle, including a skeletal one.
* '''[[Purple Lum]]s''': A well-known Lum from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' which allows the player to swing through the air, circumnavigating obstacles or following a faster route.
* '''[[Switch]]es''': These switches, unlike those in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', are square-shaped and labelled with icons – either a [[Robo-Pirate]] head, a Piranha or a Spider. If the player shoots at a switch, it will activate a hidden passage or will drastically alter the surrounding environment to stop opponent(s), but can also affect the player.
* '''Electric fences''': When the player touches the electrical beams from this fence it will electrocute her/him resulting in the player to slow down.
* '''Electric barrels''': Avoid this object, it will hit a player when it lights up, resulting in the player to slow down.

==The weapons==
These are the weapons present in the fighting stages of the game. In Lum Fight mode, they are taken from Generators that are randomly scattered around the arena. In Lum Spring and Capture the Fly modes, there is only one weapon that is present, and is given to the player at the beginning of the match. This is the Ice Bullet for Lum Spring and the Rubber Bullet for Capture the Fly.

* '''Fake Generator''': It looks like a normal generator that gives the player a weapon, but it in fact a bomb been placed down by another player or CPU. It explodes on contact (or just after a character passes) and it inflicts 3 hit points.
* '''Item Leech''': When activated, it steals a random other players' weapon. if no other player is carrying something, it will steal one from a generator.
* '''Buzz Rocket''': When activated, the player will stand to a still (making him or herself vulnerable to attacks)and he or she will instead be in control of a small, highly sensitive flying weapon, the Buzz rocket. It inflicts 5 hit points, on impact on another player. The player can only use it once.
* '''Ultimate Barrier''': An indestructible force field that cocoons the player for a few seconds. It also effectively inflicts 1 hit point of damage if it comes in contact with another player.
* '''Glue Bomb''': When mastered, this weapon is irresistible to use! It sticks to a player by contact, spinning around the unlucky character(until passed on to another) then explodes after a few seconds. Inflicts 3 hit points of damage. Looks very similar to the ''[[Helicopter bomb]]'' from ''[[Rayman 2]]''.
* '''Rapid Bullets''': Shoots a row of 3 bullets per round. Each bullet inflicts 1 hit point.
* '''Rubber Bullet''': Can almost always make a direct hit. Can bounce of walls and objects (up to 3 bounces). Each bullet inflicts 1 hit point. In Capture the Fly mode, the player get 5 bullets. It just steals the fly from the carrier and ammo refills over time.
* '''Hound Bullet''': Automatically chases the nearest opponent. Each Hound Bullet inflicts 1 hit point.
* '''Firework Bullet''': Is pointless unless a player is nearby, or he or she locks onto another player. A green Firework Bullet detonates on impact. Inflicts 1 hit point on anyone within explosion range.
* ''' Flametounge Bullet''': A flame which its direction can be controlled for a few seconds, then remaining active for a few more, engulfing anyone who unfortunately goes into it. Inflicts 1 hit point.
* '''Ice Bullet''': Only available in Lum Spring mode. It freezes the targeted character for 1 second. The ammo refills over time.

==Soundtrack==
The game features a dynamic soundtrack by French composer [http://www.claudesamard.com/ Claude Samard]. Each battle level features its own theme, while the background music of the race levels is determined by the identity of the character currently in the first position – each character has their own theme music, and additional musical cues mediate whenever the game switches from one theme to another.

Unlike the other Rayman games, this game does not have a notable plot, other than that the characters are in a sporting competition.

==Plot==
{{quote|text=[[Rayman]] and his famous acolytes face new challenges in a unique sporting competition: they will confront each other in hard and varied environments to become THE winner of a surprising biathlon: Race and Battle modes.

Pick your character and compete with your opponents within interactive environments littered with power-ups, extreme actions and shooting into hazardous arenas. Catch weapons to pinch your opponents [[lums]], glide across bewitching lagoons and learn to be tough and nimble to take your adversaries by surprise.

Perhaps at least will you succeed to be tougher than [[Rayman]]...|sign=Manual|source=''Rayman M''}}

==Gameplay==
The gameplay in Rayman M is split into two main modes, Racing and Battle.

[[Image:RayMReady.jpg|thumb|right|320px|[[Razorbeard]], [[Globox]], [[Rayman]] and a [[Henchman 800]] at the start of a race in [[Nebulous Tower]]]]

===Racing Mode===
In this mode, the players take part in a foot race and face a number of obstacles depending on which environment they are playing in. There are no power-ups in this mode, although throughout each course there are [[Purple Lum|Purple Lums]], speed ramps and small trampolines that are useful. This mode has four different types of racing game. Obstacles include boxes that the player has to shoot up to eight times in order to pass, bear traps and electric bars.

* '''Training:''' This mode allows the player to explore the course and practice before playing in the other modes, as well as setting their own personal records. Only a single player can play in this mode.
* '''Race:''' This mode involves up to four characters to race each other, the first one to the finish line wins. In single player mode, the other players are computer controlled and there are three laps to run, while in multi-player mode the players can set how many laps to run before winning.
* '''Popolopoï:''' This mode uses a time limit in which a character must complete three laps in. Although the time starts at 20 seconds, the time can be increased by shooting small butterflies called [[Popolopoï]], which come in different colours that represent how much time is given. Only a single player can play in this mode.
*'''Lums:''' In this mode, the player has to complete three laps while collecting the maximum number of [[Yellow Lum|Yellow Lums]] required in order to legally win, and must come in first place as well.
This is also needed later on in the game, as the amount of lums the player collected will be transferred into the amount of time the player gets to finish that particular race in [[On and On]], a bonus race level.
Only a single player can play in this mode.

===Battle Mode===
[[Image:RMBattle.jpg|thumb|right|320px|[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] fight in [[Timber Wood]]]]
Rather than an obstacle course, the Battle mode is made up of an arena in which characters run around playing three different modes. Unlike the Race mode, this mode uses power-ups.

* '''Lum Spring:''' In the mode, the player has to collect as many [[Lum|Lums]] (which unusually look like crystals this time) as they can in order to reach the winning conditions - in a typical game, this is up to five Lums - or before the time runs out. To help him or her prevent the opponents from reaching them first, they are equipped with ice bullets to freeze them, thought the others' shots have to be avoided.

* '''Lum Fight:''' Each player starts with five hit points each, and the player has to knock all of the opponents' hit points in order to score Lums. Each time a player dies, they respawn somewhere else in the arena. A negative Lum is given to a player that loses to a self-infliction. Various power-ups called Generators are scattered around, and contain a different weapon to use against opponents. Uses the same winning conditions as Lum Spring.

* '''Capture the Fly:''' This game is similar to tag - the player has to find a [[Light Fly]] and keep hold of it as long as possible without getting hit by an opponent's shot. The character is equipped with five bounce bullets which are only effective on the player in possession of the Fly. The player that reaches the winning conditions first wins.

==Environment==
''Rayman M'' is set mainly in environments based on those of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. The game consists of four different worlds for each mode, each with three stages. The world the players play in also determines the difficulty of the game, going from Beginner to Advanced. As the player progresses, the harder difficulties are unlocked. Many of the worlds in ''Rayman M'' that resemble locations from ''Rayman 2'' include [[Ly's Palace]], which resembles the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], and the [[Dark Sewer]]s, which are reminiscent of the [[Tomb of the Ancients]].

==Characters==
At the start of the game, five characters are available, and as the player progresses through the game, they'll unlock the remaining characters as well as skins for them. Each character has their own musical theme in the Racing mode, and have their own method of gliding, though they all shoot the same way [[Rayman]] does.

*'''[[Rayman]]:''' The star of the game. He has one unlockable [[skin]] only in Rayman Arena.
*'''[[Globox]]:''' Rayman's best friend, who joined the competition to overcome his shyness (unlike other games he appeared in, he is not scared of the bad guys). He has three unlockable skins.
*'''[[Teensie]]s:''' A pair of [[Grand Minimus]] Teensies. They have three unlockable skins.
*'''[[Admiral Razorbeard]]:''' The irritable lord of the [[Robo-Pirate Army]].
*'''[[Henchman 800]]:''' One of the [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirates]] from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', particularly of the Red variety. He has three unlockable skins.
*'''[[Tily the Fairy|Tily]]:''' A small [[fairy]] speculated to have replaced [[Ly the Fairy]]. Tily must be unlocked.
*'''[[Razorwife]]:''' Admiral Razorbeard's flamboyant wife. Razorwife must be unlocked.
*'''[[Henchman 1000]]:''' An older [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirate]] model. Henchman 1000 must be unlocked. He has three unlockable skins.
*'''[[Dark Globox]]:''' An more evil, dumber, uglier, and certainly ruder version of [[Globox]]. Dark Globox only appears in "Rayman Arena" and must be unlocked.
*'''[[Dark Rayman]]:''' An evil doppelgänger of [[Rayman]]. Dark Rayman only appears in the Gamecube and Xbox version of ''Rayman Arena'' and must be unlocked. He is also the player's opponent through the entire third league in the game, the Master League. He is the main antagonist of ''Rayman Arena''.

==The objects==
Objects are located in racing courses that will give the player special benefits, sometimes intended to slow the player down in a race, or to speed the player up. Some objects refer to ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

* '''Speed ramps''': A blue panel on the ground or platform that will give the player a speed boost for a few seconds by walking over it. Pressing the "special button" when this speed boost is active will grant the player even more extra speed, leaving little clouds of dust behind them.
* '''Bumpers''': A circle 'trampoline' on the ground which propels the player into the air, most often resulting in a shortcut.
* '''[[Nettle]]s''': These look similar to the plants of the same name in [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Lava]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. When the player gets close it will 'whip', her/him resulting in the player to slow down. There are many types of nettle, including a skeletal one.
* '''[[Purple Lum]]s''': A well-known Lum from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' which allows the player to swing through the air, circumnavigating obstacles or following a faster route.
* '''[[Switch]]es''': These switches, unlike those in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', are square-shaped and labelled with icons – either a [[Robo-Pirate]] head, a Piranha or a Spider. If the player shoots at a switch, it will activate a hidden passage or will drastically alter the surrounding environment to stop opponent(s), but can also affect the player.
* '''Electric fences''': When the player touches the electrical beams from this fence it will electrocute her/him resulting in the player to slow down.
* '''Electric barrels''': Avoid this object, it will hit a player when it lights up, resulting in the player to slow down.

==The weapons==
These are the weapons present in the fighting stages of the game. In Lum Fight mode, they are taken from Generators that are randomly scattered around the arena. In Lum Spring and Capture the Fly modes, there is only one weapon that is present, and is given to the player at the beginning of the match. This is the Ice Bullet for Lum Spring and the Rubber Bullet for Capture the Fly.

* '''Fake Generator''': It looks like a normal generator that gives the player a weapon, but it in fact a bomb been placed down by another player or CPU. It explodes on contact (or just after a character passes) and it inflicts 3 hit points.
* '''Item Leech''': When activated, it steals a random other players' weapon. if no other player is carrying something, it will steal one from a generator.
* '''Buzz Rocket''': When activated, the player will stand to a still (making him or herself vulnerable to attacks)and he or she will instead be in control of a small, highly sensitive flying weapon, the Buzz rocket. It inflicts 5 hit points, on impact on another player. The player can only use it once.
* '''Ultimate Barrier''': An indestructible force field that cocoons the player for a few seconds. It also effectively inflicts 1 hit point of damage if it comes in contact with another player.
* '''Glue Bomb''': When mastered, this weapon is irresistible to use! It sticks to a player by contact, spinning around the unlucky character(until passed on to another) then explodes after a few seconds. Inflicts 3 hit points of damage. Looks very similar to the ''[[Helicopter Bomb]]'' from ''[[Rayman 2]]''.
* '''Rapid Bullets''': Shoots a row of 3 bullets per round. Each bullet inflicts 1 hit point.
* '''Rubber Bullet''': Can almost always make a direct hit. Can bounce of walls and objects (up to 3 bounces). Each bullet inflicts 1 hit point. In Capture the Fly mode, the player get 5 bullets. It just steals the fly from the carrier and ammo refills over time.
* '''Hound Bullet''': Automatically chases the nearest opponent. Each Hound Bullet inflicts 1 hit point.
* '''Firework Bullet''': Is pointless unless a player is nearby, or he or she locks onto another player. A green Firework Bullet detonates on impact. Inflicts 1 hit point on anyone within explosion range.
* ''' Flametounge Bullet''': A flame which its direction can be controlled for a few seconds, then remaining active for a few more, engulfing anyone who unfortunately goes into it. Inflicts 1 hit point.
* '''Ice Bullet''': Only available in Lum Spring mode. It freezes the targeted character for 1 second. The ammo refills over time.

==Soundtrack==
The game features a dynamic soundtrack by French composer [http://www.claudesamard.com/ Claude Samard]. Each battle level features its own theme, while the background music of the race levels is determined by the identity of the character currently in the first position – each character has their own theme music, and additional musical cues mediate whenever the game switches from one theme to another.

'''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|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''===
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.

[[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.

===''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>.

'''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|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''===
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.

[[Image:Ray3 globox float.png|thumb|right|320px|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.

===''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>.

To Bubblize a Mocking Bird

2012-12-14T16:48:09Z

SanteriEdelweiss: /* Trivia */

{{stub}}

'''To Bubblize a Mocking Bird''' is the seventh and last level of the [[Grumbling Grottos]], a world in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. This level consists of a boss battle against the [[Mocking Bird]], the second of the [[four kings]] that were turned into monsters that [[Rayman]] must defeat in order to make them normal again.

The battle begins with Rayman pulling on the sleeping Mocking Bird’s tail, waking it up. It then yells and flies off to the side. Shortly after, it returns and flies over Rayman with a [[Bubo]] on its back end. After Rayman hits this Bubo, there is an updraft, and the Mocking Bird hits the platform Rayman was on, causing it to fall. Rayman then must use his helicopter to ride the updraft and avoid the Mocking Bird as it charges across the screen, followed by several smaller birds. After this, it returns, hitting its head against the overhang above. This causes the Mocking Bird to be stunned momentarily while a Bubo grows on its head. Once Rayman hits the second Bubo, the Mocking Bird will hit its head once more, then, Rayman must head downwards. Here, Rayman will meet up with the Mocking Bird again and must avoid spiky bird enemies as the Mocking Bird sucks in air and spins in a circle. Once it stops spinning, Rayman must pull its tail, causing the Mocking Bird to become stunned again and grow a Bubo on its tongue. After this third Bubo is hit, the battle is over, and the Mocking Bird will return to normal.

==Trivia==
The title is a parody to "To Kill a Mockingbird", a novel by Harper Lee.

It's home to a slew of fiendish flora and fauna – not to mention [[Bégoniax|anti-social witches]] and [[Count Razoff|egomaniacal musketeers]].|sign=Press release|source=[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]}}

'''The Bog of Murk''', also known as '''the Umber Swamp''', is the third of nine levels found in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. This level introduces the player to the [[Throttle Copter]]. It also marks the smallest appearance of [[Globox]] in a level, as he does not appear until the very last cutscene (although his voice can be heard in the first and sixth phases).

==Description==
This world is a dark and murky marshland of [[piranha]]-infested swamps, and is the home of two anti-social characters – [[Bégoniax]] the witch, and [[Count Razoff]] the hunter – who soon see [[Rayman]] as an enemy. It is also home to [[Muddibog]]s who throw rocks at both [[Rayman]] and the [[Hoodlum]]s. Early in the first level, large flying creatures with hands for heads called [[Paluchard]]s can be seen in the distant sky, one of which later helps [[Rayman]] out in the dungeon of [[Count Razoff#Count Razoff's mansion|Razoff's mansion]].

A tribe of [[Teensie]]s called [[Murkin]]s were originally planned to live in the swamp but were cut from the game.

==As a level==

===Stage 1 - Bégoniax===
The level occurs after Rayman has tumbled from one of the [[Teensie Highway]]s and been seperated from Globox. He lands in a toilet cubicle occupied by the witch Begoniax, who becomes incredibly angry and threatens Rayman, despite his feeble attempts to tell her he did not mean anything. Just outside the toilet, Rayman can break open a [[cage]], [[Teensie|the occupant]] of which will bestow upon him the first [[Throttle Copter]] powerup. Rayman can use this to reach Begoniax's house. Once there, the battle against Begoniax begins, the two chase each other a large cauldron, the contents of which either can disturb at anytime by jumping up and hitting. If the contents hit one of the fighters, they will be transformed into a [[Toad|frog]], making them very vulnerable to the other's attacks. If Rayman wins, Begoniax flees, and if Rayman follows her, he can access a magic mirror which transports him to a new part of the marshes.

Begoniax's unique battle music is removed in the PC version.

===Stage 2===

The next stage features a set of various [[Hoodlum]]s. If Rayman can defeat them all and access the powerups they give him, he can leave the area.

[[File:Nettles_R3.jpg|320px|thumb|left|Two [[nettle]]s can be seen in the Bog of Murk]]

===Stage 3===

This phase begins with a [[Hoodlum]] fighting off a swarm of [[Muddibog]]s. The winner of the fight is random, but is usually the Muddibogs. Regardless, Rayman must defeat whoever is left standing, before carrying on through a small building to a second bog, which features more Muddibogs, Hoodlums, and [[piranha]]s similar to those seen in the previous two games.

If one of the Hoodlums' boats is jumped on, it will move to the side of the building and sail in a circle, allowing Rayman to collect some yellow gems. It also come across a small island with a hallow tree which contains some more yellow gems, a green emerald & several rubies. If one uses the camera to look around, a fleet of Hoodlum airships can be seen carrying Hoodlums to the Land of the Livid Dead.

===Stage 4 - Razoff's Mansion===

This level takes place mostly underground, and has Rayman navigating several tunnels and fighting off Hoodlums to eventually leave the area. At the end of the level, he comes across a mysterious mansion that even the Hoodlums cannot enter. However, once all the Hoodlums are beaten, the doors mysteriously open and Rayman can enter, ending the stage.

===Stage 5 - Count Razoff===

Here, Rayman meets the nefarious [[Count Razoff]] a hunter who is intent on killing Rayman and adding him to his collection. He expresses interest in stuffing him and mounting him on his wall, but also in turning him into a rug and putting him in front of his fireplace. The fight consists of the two chasing each other around Razoff's huge mansion, fighting whenever they meet. Once Rayman has worked Razoff's health bar down to zero, Razoff flees into a basement, announcing that no one can stop him. Rayman must follow him underground to end the level.

Inside Razoff's mansion is a room with a large mirror. If Rayman is left in idle in front of it, he'll make a face at himself and notice he has something stuck in his teeth, pulling it out.

Razoff finds Globox in his basement and attempts to shoot him. However, he is suddenly met by a group of [[Ugly|small creatures]] he had previously captured, who he is apparently scared of.

Rayman, Globox and the creatures watch, a little disturbed, as Razoff fails to escape Begoniax's grasp, before Globox questions Rayman as to how they will reach the [[Romeo|Doctor's]] office. Rayman notices a magic mirror in the basement, and remembering the one he encountered in Begoniax's house, announces that he has an idea.

'''The Bog of Murk''', also known as '''the Umber Swamp''', is the third of nine levels found in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. This level introduces the player to the [[Throttle Copter]]. It also marks the smallest appearance of [[Globox]] in a level, as he does not appear until the very last cutscene (although his voice can be heard in the first and sixth phases).

==Description==
This world is a dark and murky marshland of [[piranha]]-infested swamps, and is the home of two anti-social characters – [[Bégoniax]] the witch, and [[Count Razoff]] the hunter – who soon see [[Rayman]] as an enemy. It is also home to [[Muddibog]]s who throw rocks at both [[Rayman]] and the [[Hoodlum]]s. Early in the first level, large flying creatures with hands for heads called [[Paluchard]]s can be seen in the distant sky, one of which later helps [[Rayman]] out in the dungeon of [[Count Razoff#Count Razoff's mansion|Razoff's mansion]].

A tribe of [[Teensie]]s called [[Murkin]]s were originally planned to live in the swamp but were cut from the game.

==As a level==

===Stage 1 - Bégoniax===
The level occurs after Rayman has tumbled from one of the [[Teensie Highway]]s and been seperated from Globox. He lands in a toilet cubicle occupied by the witch Begoniax, who becomes incredibly angry and threatens Rayman, despite his feeble attempts to tell her he did not mean anything. Just outside the toilet, Rayman can break open a [[cage]], [[Teensie|the occupant]] of which will bestow upon him the first [[Throttle Copter]] powerup. Rayman can use this to reach Begoniax's house. Once there, the battle against Begoniax begins, the two chase each other a large cauldron, the contents of which either can disturb at anytime by jumping up and hitting. If the contents hit one of the fighters, they will be transformed into a [[Toad|frog]], making them very vulnerable to the other's attacks. If Rayman wins, Begoniax flees, and if Rayman follows her, he can access a magic mirror which transports him to a new part of the marshes.

Begoniax's unique battle music is removed in the PC version.

===Stage 2===

The next stage features a set of various [[Hoodlum]]s. If Rayman can defeat them all and access the powerups they give him, he can leave the area.

[[File:Nettles_R3.jpg|320px|thumb|left|Two [[nettle]]s can be seen in the Bog of Murk]]

===Stage 3===

This phase begins with a [[Hoodlum]] fighting off a swarm of [[Muddibog]]s. The winner of the fight is random, but is usually the Muddibogs. Regardless, Rayman must defeat whoever is left standing, before carrying on through a small building to a second bog, which features more Muddibogs, Hoodlums, and [[piranha]]s similar to those seen in the previous two games. Rayman can eventually aquire a boat that will take him to a lookout allowing him to access the next stage.

If one of the Hoodlums' boats is jumped on, it will move to the side of the building and sail in a circle, allowing Rayman to collect some yellow gems. It also come across a small island with a hallow tree which contains some more yellow gems, a green emerald & several rubies. If one uses the camera to look around, a fleet of Hoodlum airships can be seen carrying Hoodlums to the Land of the Livid Dead.

===Stage 4 - Razoff's Mansion===

This level takes place mostly underground, and has Rayman navigating several tunnels and fighting off Hoodlums to eventually leave the area. At the end of the level, he comes across a mysterious mansion that even the Hoodlums cannot enter. However, once all the Hoodlums are beaten, the doors mysteriously open and Rayman can enter, ending the stage.

===Stage 5 - Count Razoff===

Here, Rayman meets the nefarious [[Count Razoff]] a hunter who is intent on killing Rayman and adding him to his collection. He expresses interest in stuffing him and mounting him on his wall, but also in turning him into a rug and putting him in front of his fireplace. The fight consists of the two chasing each other around Razoff's huge mansion, fighting whenever they meet. Once Rayman has worked Razoff's health bar down to zero, Razoff flees into a basement, announcing that no one can stop him. Rayman must follow him underground to end the level.

Inside Razoff's mansion is a room with a large mirror. If Rayman is left in idle in front of it, he'll make a face at himself and notice he has something stuck in his teeth, pulling it out.

[[File:Rayman3_conceptart1.jpg‎ |thumb|320px|right|An early version of [[Bégoniax]]'s house]]

===Stage 6 - Razoff's last stand===

This final stage sees Rayman and Razoff conclude their fight. This time, Razoff hangs from a giant ball on a chain, which he attempts to ram Rayman with. Later in the fight, Rayman can obtain [[Heavy Metal Fist]]s to give him an advantage. Once Razoff's health is completely depleted, he tumbles into the pit below.

===Epilogue===

Razoff finds Globox in his basement and attempts to shoot him. However, he is suddenly met by a group of [[Ugly|small creatures]] he had previously captured, who he is apparently scared of. He runs, but is caught by Begoniax, who underlines her not-so-subtle desires of what she plans to do with him. Rayman, Globox and the creatures watch, a little disturbed, as Razoff fails to escape Begoniax's grasp, before Globox questions Rayman as to how they will reach the [[Romeo|Doctor's]] office. Rayman notices a magic mirror in the basement, and remembering the one he encountered in Begoniax's house, announces that he has an idea.

'''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|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 bubbleized in [[Rayman Origins]]. 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 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 piraets. 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.

[[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]]]]

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]].

===''Rayman M''===
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'' (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.

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

===''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''===
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.

===''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>.

'''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|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 bubbleized in [[Rayman Origins]]. 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 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 piraets. 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.

[[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]]]]

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]].

===''Rayman M''===
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).

===''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.

===''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' (Game Boy Advance)===

===''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.

Teensie Highway

2012-05-27T17:07:15Z

SanteriEdelweiss:

[[Image:Rayman Funkyboard Teensie Highway.jpg|thumb|320px|right|[[Rayman]] rides through the second Teensie Highway on his [[Funkyboard]]]]

{{quote|text=The [[Teensie]]s may be in trouble, but they’ve still got flair – to help [[Rayman]] get from one world to another, the Teensies have provided full access to the Teensie Highways. Suspended in psychedelic space and enhanced by pulsating soundtracks, the Highways are loaded with treasure. But Rayman can’t get distracted – one false move, and down he goes! The always-helpful Teensies, however, are at the ready with [[mini-copter]]s to get him moving again.|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 '''Teensie Highways''', also known as the '''Disco Trips''', are a series of psychedelic wormholes which appear in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. They are used by the [[Teensie]]s to traverse great distances. While passing through the Teensie Highways, [[Rayman]] uses his [[Funkyboard]] to skate at high speed along the glowing staves, jumping from one to another and collecting [[jewel]]s. [[Globox]] hangs upside-down from a helicoper piloted by a Teensie. If Rayman falls off the staves, the helicopter grabs him and places him at the most recent checkpoint.

There are three Teensie Highways in the game. The first Teensie Highway takes [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] from [[the Fairy Council]] to [[Clearleaf Forest]], where the [[Grand Minimus]] has told them they can find the [[Teensie doctor]], [[Otto Psi]]. The second Teensie Highway is meant to take them from Otto's office in the Clearleaf Forest to [[Roméo Patti]]'s office in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]; unfortunately this Teensie Highway is broken, and the heroes become lost in a dimensional rift. Rayman lands in [[the Bog of Murk]], in the outhouse of the witch [[Bégoniax]], thus provoking her wrath. The third Teensie Highway takes them from [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]] to [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], where they can find [[Gonzo]], the third and final Teensie doctor.

[[Ubisoft|The developers]] shared some information regarding the Teensie Highways in a 2003 interview with [[RaymanZone]]. The platforms [[Rayman]] skates across are referred to as ''‘staves’''. According to the developers, ''‘the idea of the staves inspired the graphic designer and the team to create themes. So the first Highway only uses psychedelic elements – big hearts, or peace symbols with disco music. The second one uses more colours, and motifs from the 1980s. These elements are very vivid for the player. He has a good laugh when he lands up in these slightly screwball universes!’'' It appears that the Teensie Highways are meant to have a very strong connection with music; like [[Band Land]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], the very platforms Rayman uses here are made of music. The inspiration for the third and final Teensie Highway is not revealed; however, it is notable for including a screenshot from the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' as one of the fleeting background images.

Super helicopter

2012-05-05T16:37:19Z

SanteriEdelweiss:

The '''Super Helicopter''', also known as the '''Super Helico''', is a temporary power in the [[Rayman 1|original game]], which is received twice, in [[Mr Stone's Peaks]], when [[Rayman]] is given the potion by [[the Musician]], and in [[Pencil Pentathlon]], where he finds another potion. It can be considered as an upgrade to the [[helicopter]] power, as it allows him to fly in the air with his hair. The Super Helicopter is also used by flying [[Antitoons]]. This ability is also available in the ''[[Rayman 1 (Game Boy Color)|portable version of Rayman 1]]''. There are specific levels where [[Rayman]] eats a specific kind of a plant that gives him the ability to fly with the Super Helicopter.

[[Image:FioleSuperHelico.png|thumb|316px|left|[[Rayman]] is given a super helicopter potion by the [[Musician]]]]

[[Image:SuperHelicoLave.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The super helicopter in [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]]]

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', when [[Rayman]] goes [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] appears before him and gives him a [[Silver Lum]], which upgrades his [[helicopter]] to super helicopter again, so that he can fly in the huge lava corridors. Unfortunately, at the end of the level, he loses this upgrade to [[Foutch]], who thumps him. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', this was partially restored, meaning that he could permanently fly only over pools of lava.

[[Image:EpicoptereScene.jpg|thumb|320px|left|[[Rayman]] gets the [[Laser-Washing Powder|Throttle Copter]] for the first time]]
[[Image:Epicoptere.jpg|thumb|320px|right|[[Rayman]] flying up in the air]]

The super helicopter ability was revisited in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', in the form of the [[Laser-Washing Powder|Throttle Copter]]. The [[Laser-Washing Powder|Throttle Copter]] is, of the five, the power with the shortest time limit, though it allows for brief flying similar to that in previous games. Instead of using his hair, [[Rayman]] uses the helices on his helmet.

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], [[Rayman]] receives the power to fly with his [[Helicopter]] so long as he collected a [[Blue Lum]] - small ones would let him fly for a little while, whereas large ones allowed him to fly until the end of the level.

[[Image:Rayheli.png|thumb|320px|left|[[Rayman]] saves his friends in [[The Animated Series]]]]

In [[Rayman: The Animated Series]], Rayman saves the gang after LacMac drives a steamroller off a cliff by accident using continuous helicopter power in [[No Parking]]. But it doesn't last long, and sends the gang crashing down into a house above [[Inspector Grub]]'s.

In [[Rayman Origins]], there are no super-helicopter power ups, but Rayman(and his friends) can fly sustainably in updrafts of any form, an example seen in [[Wind or Lose]].

It can be considered as an upgrade to the [[helicopter]] power, as it allows him to fly in the air with his hair. The Super Helicopter is also used by flying [[Antitoons]]. This ability is also available in the ''[[Rayman 1 (Game Boy Color)|portable version of Rayman 1]]''. There are specific levels where [[Rayman]] eats a specific kind of a plant that gives him the ability to fly with the Super Helicopter.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', when [[Rayman]] goes [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] appears before him and gives him a [[Silver Lum]], which upgrades his [[helicopter]] to super helicopter again, so that he can fly in the huge lava corridors. Unfortunately, at the end of the level, he loses this upgrade to [[Foutch]], who thumps him. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', this was partially restored, meaning that he could permanently fly only over pools of lava.

The super helicopter ability was revisited in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', in the form of the [[Laser-Washing Powder|Throttle Copter]]. The [[Laser-Washing Powder|Throttle Copter]] is, of the five, the power with the shortest time limit, though it allows for brief flying similar to that in previous games. Instead of using his hair, [[Rayman]] uses the helices on his helmet.

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], [[Rayman]] receives the power to fly with his [[Helicopter]] so long as he collected a [[Blue Lum]] - small ones would let him fly for a little while, whereas large ones allowed him to fly until the end of the level.

In [[Rayman: The Animated Series]], Rayman saves the gang after LacMac drives a steamroller off a cliff by accident using continuous helicopter power in [[No Parking]]. But it doesn't last long, and sends the gang crashing down into a house above [[Inspector Grub]]'s.

In [[Rayman Origins]], there are no super-helicopter power ups, but Rayman(and his friends) can fly sustainably in updrafts of any form, an example seen in [[Wind or Lose]].

* ''This article is about the level in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. For the level in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', see [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge)]]. For the level in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', see [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)]].''

{{quote|text=Scarred by cruel winds and crushing storms, this bitter wasteland doesn’t take kindly to visitors, especially adventuring types like [[Rayman]]. More than one tale has been whispered about [[Griskin|a phantom race of creatures]] imprisoned within this haunted Moor.|sign=Press release|source=''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''<ref>Feral Interactive, ''Rayman 3 for Mac'', http://www.feralinteractive.com/?game=rayman3&subsection=worlds</ref>}}

'''The Land of the Livid Dead''', also known as '''the Moor of Mad Spirits''', is an idyllic but bleak landscape which acts as the fourth of nine levels in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Its subterranean part]] also appears in the sequel, ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where it is much more horror-based and acts as the final level. The name of the level has a double meaning: the Livid Dead are either the blue-grey [[Teensy]] ghosts known as the [[Griskin]]s in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', or the furious re-animated skeletons in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.

==Description==
The landscape is reminiscent of a Celtic ruin, and the rocky hills are filled with ancient stone monoliths, small passages and sunken structures. The climate appears to be very mild and cloudy, though it rains in the later sections. This land is beside either a sea or ocean. The stone walls are covered with engravings made by the [[Griskin]] [[Teensie]]s a long time ago, before they were turned to ghosts by the [[Great Spirit Palmito]].

==As a level==
===Stage 1===
[[Rayman]] must make his way through several tunnels to come face-to-face with his first ever [[Hoodstormer]], who drops a [[Crazy Shoe]] power-up. He must use a combination of [[Laser-Washing Powder]]s to ascend platforms and break through doors.

===Secret area===
[[Globox]] drinks a [[keg]] full of [[plum juice]] before the fight with the [[Hoodstormer]]. By ascending the bubble he belches, [[Rayman]] can discover a room in a wall with some teensies frozen in ice and with many yellow jewels and a green jewel. Another figure(not a teensie) frozen in one of them also resembles [[LacMac]] from the Animated Series.

===Stage 2===
[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] enter a [[Hoodlum]] fortress, containing an abundance of [[Hoodstormer]]s and [[Hoodmonger Soldier]]s. Once they have been defeated, he can fight his first ever [[Grim Keeper]] and [[Hoodoo]].

===Secret area===
Once [[Rayman]] has killed the [[Grim Keeper]], [[Globox]] will help him get up to the higher level by belching a bubble. To the right of where Rayman is supposed to go is a secret room containing several [[Throttle Copter]]s and [[jewel]]s.

===Stage 3===
[[Rayman]] is confronted by a gate that a [[Hoodmonger]] closes with a [[switch]]. He must work his way up a ghostly tower, freeing [[Griskin]]s from [[Palmito]]'s spell, to get the gate to open. However, his first [[Heckler]] approaches from the gate. Once it is defeated, it drops a [[Shock Rocket]] which Rayman must use to hit the switch and proceed to [[Roméo Patti]]'s office. During this time, Rayman must deal with several [[Hoodmonger Officer]]s.

===Stage 4 – [[Céloche]]===
[[Globox]] drinks a [[keg]] full of [[plum juice]] and flies away while [[Rayman]] goes underwater to find and destroy the [[Hoodlum]]-controlled war tripod, [[Céloche]].

===Stage 5 – Roméo's office===
Rayman and Globox enter the office of Roméo but a gate is blocking the way. Using a nearby Shock Rocket power-up, Rayman must shoot each Hoodlum as they run around, which can be quite hard. After all of them are dead, the gate opens and the duo proceed to the doctor himself. Sadly, Roméo also fails to extract [[Andre]] and sends Globox to [[the Desert of the Knaaren]] to meet up with [[Gonzo]], the last [[Teensie doctor]].

===Secret area===
If Rayman looks up, he can see two holes in the ceiling. In the holes are [[switch]]es; hitting both of these opens up a ection of the wall containing lots of [[jewel]]s.

===Stage 6 – Third Teensie Highway===

[[File:R3HH-EarlyRayman2Style-4.jpg|thumb|320px|An early version of the Land of the Livid Dead]]

==Trivia==
*[[Roméo Patti]]'s office can be seen when standing on a high point; it can be seen three times.
*The [[Griskin]]s are the only species of [[Teensie]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that have their own sub-plot; in this case it is the ghostly tower in part 3.
