In all versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' (except for the PlayStation and [[Rayman 2 Forever|Game Boy Color]] versions), Murfy seems to be an innocent character that serves as a guide for [[Rayman]], giving him instructions on how to pull off his moves while going through the [[Woods of Light]]. All around the world there are [[Stone of Thought|Stones of Thought]]. If [[Rayman]] stands next to one of these for a while and thinks, Murfy will come back to him and repeat his instructions.

He develops a more cocky personality than before, and often rants about how he is stuck with being a sidekick, as well as giving witty comments and sarcastic remarks about [[the Manual]] as [[Rayman]] goes through [[the Fairy Council]]. In this game, he is voiced by [[Billy West]], who had also voiced [[Rayman]] in ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series|The Animated Series]]'' four years earlier. Unlike ''[[Rayman 2]]'', in which he can appear anywhere in the game which has a [[Stone of Thought]], Murfy leaves the player at the [[Heart of the World]], promising to “See you in ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]''!”.

Murfy is set to appear as a playable character in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. Like all of the other figures, his figure uses his appearance in the [[UbiArt]] games. He, along with the [[Teensy Queen]], will be included in a 5-6 player expansion pack. To give off the illusion of flight, his figure is shown pulling up what is likely a [[turnip]]. An alternate, Kickstarter-exclusive figure of him flying (with a green streak being used to give off the illusion of flight) was also revealed as the sixth [[lucky ticket]] and will be included with all pledges that have a copy of the base game.
