'''Bad Rayman''' (not to be confused with [[Dark Rayman]] from certain versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'') is an evil clone of [[Rayman]] created by [[Mister Dark]] for the sole purpose of destroying his original counterpart before reaching his [[Mister Dark's Dare|hideout]].
*''This article is about the enemy in [[Rayman 1|the original Rayman game]], [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|its Game Boy Color adaptation]], [[Maths and English with Rayman]], [[Rayman Designer]] and [[French with Rayman]]. For other characters with similar names, see [[Dark Rayman]].''


==Videogame appearances==
'''Bad Rayman''', also known as '''Dark Rayman''', is an enemy who appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], its [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color remake]], ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and ''[[French with Rayman]]''.
Bad Rayman first appears at a very late point in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', when the real Rayman finally reaches the [[Candy Chateau]], and has a spell cast upon him by Mister Dark.  The evil double appears behind him, and follows him wherever he goes as well as copying his actions.  Rayman cannot stand still for too long at this point, because he and the double will die if they come to close contact with each other.  However, Bad Rayman will die only as soon as the real Rayman reaches the exit in the area.


He also makes appearances in the [[Rayman (GBC)|Game Boy Color version of the game]], in which he appears in a slightly different colour scheme; and in the educational versions of the game, ''[[Rayman Junior]]''.  Reminiscent to the original, Bad Rayman behaves in the same way - chasing, copying, and causing death upon touch.
==Description==
Bad Rayman is a clone of [[Rayman]], magically created by [[Mr Dark]] in an attempt to destroy the original.


Bad Rayman is later alluded in the North American Gamecube and XBox version of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', in which a similar dark skin can be unlocked for Rayman.
His appearance is very similar to that of [[Rayman]], but with different colouration. He seems to have somehow inherited [[Mr Dark]]'s glowing yellow eyes. In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], Bad Rayman's skin is grey, his hair and neckerchief are pink, his gloves are light blue, and his shirt and shoes are dark blue. He also has a green tongue, which can be noticed by having him make a [[grimace]] in ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' or ''[[Rayman Designer]]''.


==Character description==    
==Appearances==
Being an evil clone, Bad Rayman comes in a completely different colour scheme. His skin is grey, his hair and neckerchief is pink, he wears a darker purple shirt which still has the ring, and his shoes and gloves are blue. In the GBC version, this is the same except for the shoes and gloves, which are yellow, and his skin, which is darker than Rayman's. Finally, he has glowing yellow eyes with no pupils.  
===''Rayman''===
Bad Rayman first appears at a very late point in all versions of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] except for the Atari Jaguar version, when the real [[Rayman]] finally reaches the second part of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in [[Candy Château]], and has a spell cast upon him by [[Mr Dark]]. The evil double appears behind him, and follows him wherever he goes as well as copying his actions. [[Rayman]] cannot stand still for too long at this point, because he and the double will die instantly if they come to close contact with each other. However, Bad Rayman will die as soon as the real [[Rayman]] reaches the [[Exit sign|exit]] in the area.
 
Bad Rayman, who is not named in the original versions of the game, but only in the manual for ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', in the achievements for ''[[Rayman Classic]]'' and in the [[Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition (Original Game Soundtrack)|original soundtrack for ''Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition'']], is also called Dark Rayman in ''[[Rayman Advance]]'', [[Rayman (Nintendo DSi)|''Rayman'' for the Nintendo DSi]] and the [[Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition (Original Game Soundtrack)|original soundtrack for the 30th anniversary edition]], which has fueled numerous debates on his real name, and the nature of the relationship between him and [[Dark Rayman|the many other identically named characters]].<ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''Dark Rayman & Bad Rayman'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=5283</ref>
 
====Bad Rayman's fist====
In the PlayStation version of the game, Bad Rayman can throw his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] while copying [[Rayman]]'s actions. Unlike Bad Rayman's body, the fist is not recoloured, but instead looks exactly like [[Rayman]]'s did when it was thrown, reflecting [[Golden Fist]] and/or [[Speed Fist]] power-ups. This copy of the [[Telescopic fist|fist]] should also have appeared in the PC version, but due to a programming error,<ref>The PC port of the engine added a function named ''add_alwobj'', which must be called on objects like the [[telescopic fist]] to add them to the list of "level objects". The code which manages Bad Rayman's [[Telescopic fist|fist]] was not updated in the PC port to include this new function call, rendering it ineffective.</ref> it remains inactive and invisible.
 
Unlike Bad Rayman himself, his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] is harmless to [[Rayman]], as it passes right through him. However, it was intended during [[Rayman 1|the game]]'s development to kill [[Rayman]] if it came into contact with him.<ref>This can be seen by decompiling the game's code and inspecting the main object function table: Bad Rayman and his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] have the same collision function, ''DoBlKRayRaymanCollision''. The collision code for the [[Telescopic fist|fist]] is never executed, as the necessary flag to enable collision with [[Rayman]] is turned off in the [[Telescopic fist|fist]]'s animation state (''état'').</ref> It is unknown whether this behaviour was intentionally disabled for gameplay reasons, or just never fully implemented due to lack of time or other technical issues.
 
===''Maths and English with Rayman''===
{{Quote|[[Rayman]]'s «evil double» haunts [[Candy Château|the world of the cakes]]. He constantly pursues [[Rayman]] through this world. [[Rayman]] must be extra careful because if Bad Rayman touches him, it's fatal!|Manual|''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]''}}
 
{{Quote|We're not far from [[Mr Dark's lair (Maths and English with Rayman)|Dark's lair]] now, and we're beginning to feel the poisonous effects of his evil spirit. [[Rayman]], be careful not to stand still for too long among the cakes and candies, for a wicked double of yourself is following you. Don't let him catch you. Be alert and be clever. Good luck.|[[Betilla]] the [[fairy]]|[[Maths and English with Rayman|''Maths and English with Rayman'', ''Amazing Learning Games with Rayman'', ''Rayman Learning Center'', ''Rayman Junior: Maths Reading'', ''Rayman Brain Games'']]}}
 
In ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' and the other games in this educational series, Bad Rayman appears in the penultimate level, [[Tasty chase]], which takes place in [[Candy Château]]. However, he does not chase [[Rayman]] during the whole level, but only makes short appearances and disappears after a certain distance.
 
Bad Rayman is named in the manual, and in-game, [[Betilla]] the [[fairy]] refers to him as [[Rayman]]'s "wicked double".
 
===''Rayman Designer''===
In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', Bad Rayman appears as an enemy [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] and can be added to the maps in [[Candy Château]]. He will disappear if [[Rayman]] comes into contact with an [[anti-spell amulet]].
 
*'''Bad Rayman''' - An evil twin of Rayman that follows him at a regular interval and makes the same movements as he does.
 
===''French with Rayman''===
In ''[[French with Rayman]]'' and the other games in this educational series, Bad Rayman appears in the level [[Food and Drinks]] of [[Candy Château]]. Like in ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', he only makes short appearances and disappears after a certain distance.

===The Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''===

Bad Rayman also makes appearances in the [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], in which he appears in a slightly different colour scheme; his shoes and gloves are yellow, and his skin is darker than [[Rayman]]'s. He is found towards the end of the game, in the [[Arcane Forest]]. Bad Rayman behaves in the same way as he did in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] - chasing, copying, and causing death upon touch. But he doesn't die if he manages to kill [[Rayman]], apart if the hero falls into a chasm.
 
When [[Rayman]] reaches the exit in the area, Bad Rayman doesn't disappear, unlike in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. And as he is never seen again in the game, his fate remains unknown.
 
It is possible to kill Bad Rayman in this game, by flying above a specific floor of red spikes.
 
In a screenshot from the manual showing an early version of the game, Bad Rayman is shown to originally have been of a different color.

==Links to other characters==
Bad Rayman's coloration suggests he inspired [[Raymesis]], a playable character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', and their spin-offs. Similarities include glowing yellow eyes, purple hair, blue shoes and blue clothing. Differences include a pink neckerchief rather than a turquoise hoodie and gray skin rather than purple skin.
