You have to play in multiplayer mode ;)

Yeah, that's right. Music Mode is only available in Multiplayer. In Multiplayer, the music that you hear in race games is determined by which player was first when they passed the checkpoint. With Special Music Mode turned on, instead of changing the music every time the first player passes the checkpoint, the music changes whenever a new player gets in the lead. --[[User:Shrooblord|Shrooblord]]

== The 2nd multiplayer race mode ==

My (PC, Polish) version of RM features 2 multiplayer modes: Race and... something else. Anybody care enough to find the English name of the thing? The rules were simple: 2nd player lost if she/he did not manage to pass the checkpoint set amount of time after 1st player passed it. --[[User:Stan423321|Stan423321]] 08:50, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

== Editing Notes ==

Just put this up to see if anyone agrees with some notes I'd like to edit about the page.

1) In the Weapons section, Fake Generators are proclaimed to look just like normal ones. However, they have a red Spiral Door sign instead of a yellow one - also, they are tinted a little darker if I remember rightly.

2) Again in the Weapons section, it is said Firework Bullets are useless at long range. I tend to disagree - with skill you can work out where a player will be at the time a Firework will hit the ground, aim for that place as opposed to the actual player and then see the firework hit them spot on. Also, when aimed upwards, the Bullet will travel great lengths, making it useful in long range combat.

I noticed the descriptions are the official ones, but there's no harm done in informing the reader about the actual state of things, is there?

I will add more points if I can think of some.

:I think it's important that we preserve the official descriptions intact, but it would be good to add some extra notes, perhaps at the end of the list. We really should have an article for the Generators. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 18:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

== Development ==

Very recently, it was discovered the existence of a Rayman M demo for PlayStation 2, and the build seems to be done months before the final release of the game, but with some notable differences. Don't you think it is pertinent to create a Rayman M (Development) article based up in those known new informations? --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 19:56, 8 August 2014 (CEST)

:Why not? If we have enough content and images on that subject, we should create an article about it. -- [[User:Boomboleros7|Boomboleros7]] 20:38, 8 August 2014 (CEST)

== Grammar ==

Could a native English speaker give me some advice on whether "the" should be used before the name of any stage from ''Rayman M'' (for example, which one is correct: "The number of item generators in the Treasure Ship is thirteen" or "The number of item generators in Treasure Ship is thirteen")? I mean, none of the levels are referred to with "the" in the game itself and I'm kinda confused, as English is not my native language. - [[User:Fussilli|Fussilli]] ([[User talk:Fussilli|talk]]) 11:35, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

:There's no definitive answer I'd say, but overall the answer tends to be yes if the name of the level is that of a place and no if it's a phrase or a metaphor. Rayman M has a lot of the latter so I think it's fine to stick with the current consensus of not using the definite article for this game. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 00:15, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
