I peeped in a magazine that my sister bought that had a Rayman 2 review in it.  I was about 12 then.  I've been a Rayfag ever since and despite the ups and downs I still am.

* The Youtube account "Saffya" containing old potato quality versions of the TV series episodes is indeed me but I don't update that channel anymore.
* Speaking of which, I have met Billy West, who voiced Rayman in the TV series, and got my copy of the DVD signed by him.
* Even though I did not runner up in the 2011 Art contest here, I was still treated to the trip to Eurogamer and the night at a nearby hotel, thanks to my other half who did win, as well as some of the goodies.
* I came 5th in the "I Love Rayman" video contest that was held in 2015 as part of Rayman's 20th anniversary.  This landed me with quite a few goodies, see below.


==*My stance on the Rabbids series==
I have worked on most articles relating to the Rabbids series, including the ones after TV Party which have not featured Rayman ever since, quite simply because I do not want to have to do such on a poopy Wikia that's overrun with teenagers that don't know what they're talking about.  Even now that the two franchises have completely split from each other now, I still thing articles about say Alive and Kicking should still be allowed here, especially when there are wikis like the Super Mario one that allows for articles about spin offs (eg. Donkey Kong, WarioWare etc) to be made.
As for what I actually think of Rabbids, I can't deny that I'm a big fan of the critters themselves.  I did used to be a complete hater when the first RRR came out, mainly because of how Rayman 4 was aborted in its favour, but over the past 10 years I've gotten over and now it pissed me off to high heaven when people still whine about them, especially now that Rayman Origins is in full swing.  Regarding the games, my favourites include the main version of TV Party (the best one IMO) and quite surprisingly, Rabbids Go Home on the DS.  I still have a love/hate relationship with RRR1 and Rabbids Go Home on Wii, though RRR2 was OK.  RRR2 and RRRTVP on DS weren't fantastic but weren't terrible either.  As for Travel in Time...don't even go there.  A&K threw me in a coughing fit, and Rabbids Land, well.  Let's just say I'm glad I didn't have to pay £24.99 for it. 
It is indeed against the rules to attack Rabbids games and characters in any form, so don't do it mmm'kay.
P.s. Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a good game.

==Sandboxen [aka where I test shit]==
=Madder=
 
'''''Madder''''' is a song by British electronica band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_Armada Groove Armada] that was used in the introduction movie of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''.  It appears on the 2002 album ''Lovebox''.
 
=Rabbids Go Home (DS)=
 
'''''Rabbids Go Home (DS)''''' is a handheld video game that was released for the Nintendo DS on the 1st November 2009 in the US, and on the 6th November 2009 in Europe, to coincide with the release of ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'' for the Nintendo Wii.  Again, it is the first handheld ''[[Rabbid]]s'' game in which [[Rayman]] does not appear, and it is also the first to have extra features that can only be used if the player plays the game with a Nintendo DSi.
 
==Plot==
The plot in the game almost coincides with that of the Wii version, with the exception that the Rabbids have developed an obsession with street lamps.  They seem to enjoy sitting on top of them until it gets too hot and then electrocutes them.  Soon they spot the moon, and regard it as a giant light bulb. 
 
==Gameplay==
Unlike the console version, this version of the game is a puzzle game, and the aim of each round is to lead the Rabbids to the toilet somehow, while making sure they have collected all of the items available along the way.  The player can use tools, such as scissors and girders, and has to position them carefully to create a path to the toilet, which the Rabbids will walk on automatically.
 
==Locations==
* Dump
* Miami

=Examples of bad article writing=
 
Bad article writing is when you do it wrong, and here are some real examples of shit just like that.
 
==Exhibit A==
The Eastern Plains In Near Where Clark Saves You From The Robo Pirates And Rayman revolution.
 
There Are Infinite Pirate's In A Nearby house To There.
 
Up To The Right of the entrance is a path leading to the menhir hill's that you can enter once you get the 1st mask. there will be no pirates at the point where clark is going to smash the gate for you.
 
this is a good training place since the other colors spawn once you encounter them.
 
stay away from here cause it can be dangerous.
 
==Exhibit B== 
mairy the fairy is a rayman charecter who has helped rayman in his past to find globox who was still young and stupid, he got stuck in a hole whilst he was trying to jump across it. so mairy helped rayman find were the help screams came from. when rayman found him he helped him out and then they became bester freinds. mairy the fairy was also seen later in rayman 2. on razorbeards prison ship.
 
==Exhibit C==
Tonic Trouble is a game based on the Rayman series (even though it wasn't a story about Rayman's World in general) that was created a month after the original version of Rayman 2. It's about a Friendly but Clumsy alien janitor named "Ed" who accidentally dropped a Mysterious can of Tonic on Earth. Causing it to infect humans, animals and plants. The tomatoes are rolling away, the carrots are bouncing at high speed like jack-hammers, icebergs even started appearing and disappearing. The whole World has gone topsy-turvy. Back at Ed's home, he is sent back to repair the damage he did. But the can of tonic has fallen into the hands of a ruthless Viking giving him great powers. His name was "Grogh the Hellish" and he declared himself as the master of earth!
 
Help Ed explore earth, encounter strange and dangerous beings which was in fact (like already mentioned), his whole fault in the first place.
 
==Exhibit D==
