:'''Stick to Mainline''' - I'm also in favour, Carrot's rationale is pretty much in line with my own thoughts. [[User:Master|Master]] ([[User talk:Master|talk]]) 23:23, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

::I would add the most recent in-game appearance (''[[Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.]]'' doesn't count, because of the outfit). That's why I'm thinking a [[Rayman]] image from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'': ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]''.

:::''Brawlhalla'', ''Captain Laserhawk'', and ''Sparks of Hope'' are guest interpretations of Rayman that I don't think best represent the base version of the character. ''Brawlhalla'' is a simplification of the ''Legends'' style, ''Captain Laserhawk'' is a reimagining with a different backstory, and ''Sparks of Hope'' is another ''Rabbids'' game featuring Rayman. Since Rayman's ''Sparks of Hope'' design was tailored to the ''Mario + Rabbids'' art direction (e.g. [https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/065/689/656/4k/giacomo-boni-shk-cnp-dlc03-operanetwork-chr-rayman-back.jpg softer hair]), it's not certain if we'll see it again. Based on the recent merchandise, Ubisoft still considers ''Legends'' the default aesthetic for the Rayman universe.

::::Does "''Captain Laserhawk''" refer to both ''[[Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.|the G.A.M.E.]]'' and [[Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix|the anime]]? In [[Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.|the G.A.M.E.]], [[Rayman]] is the main character (more like Captain Dolph Laserhawk: the downloadable version's icon is also a [[Rayman]] head, most of the images from ''[[Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.|the G.A.M.E.]]'' depict [[Rayman]], and he is in the middle of the "''main image''", and he was also seen as '''a''' main character in [https://www.gamereactor.eu/video/715793/Captain+Laserhawk+The+GAME+-+Game+Trailer/ the trailer]), although his outfit does not match the usual [[Rayman]] outfit.

:::::Both, the game is just an adaptation of the show. ''Laserhawk'' Rayman is still far detached from the mainline games. [[User:Mystyle48|Mystyle48]] ([[User talk:Mystyle48|talk]]) 17:57, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

::::::::''Sparks of Hope'' also redesigned Rayman's shoes, gave him caramel-colored eyes, and as I mentioned, made his hair softer and thicker. But even if the changes to Rayman's design in crossovers aren't major, I still believe it's best to stick with what is presented by the main series (''Legends'' and beyond), without the alterations made to conform with the art directions of other franchises.

:::::::::It appears that the consensus is overwhelmingly in favor of the Legends design for Rayman's main infobox. Let's give it another 3 days to give everyone the opportunity to voice their thoughts, and then we'll proceed with the community's decision. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 17:44, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
