Rayman IV: Difference between revisions

'''''Rayman IV''''' (not to be confused with ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|its early stages]]), known in-game as '''''Rayman: Sunshine of Trip''''' (English), '''''Rayman: Der Sonneschein auf der Reise''''' (German), or '''''Райман: Путешествие солнечного света''''' (Russian) is an unlicensed game for the Game Boy Advance that originated from the Taiwanese company ''Sintax''. Typical of an unlicensed game, it has neither the Ubisoft logo or the Nintendo Seal of Quality, but has an ESRB rating of E for Everyone (normally used in the United States) and the "Only for" notice on the side of the cover. The cover features poorly edited artwork that was previously used in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', notably of [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and a [[Henchman 800]], set against a blue background.

In 2011, a copy of the game was discovered, however due to the large amount of copy-protection on the cart, the ROM wasn't successfully dumped until 2020. Due to this copy-protection, the cart can only be played on a Game Boy Advance, a Game Boy Advance SP or the Game Boy Player (an add-on for the Gamecube), it will not run on a DS or a DS Lite.

As an unlicensed game, ''Rayman IV'' uses elements taken directly from other video games. In Stage 2 for example much of the background and foreground elements are taken from the SNES video game ''Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos'', which was previously hacked into a ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' pirate for the SNES.
