The Magician (Rayman Origins): Difference between revisions

An [[Rayman Origins (early production)|earlier version of the game's script]] was found amongst the files of the game's [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], and, while it follows the same general story, it also would have shed more light on certain aspects of the plot, and contains a large amount of dialogue that was removed from [[Rayman Origins|the final version of the game]]. In this [[Rayman Origins (early production)|scrapped scenario]], the Magician, real name Ales Mansay (which translates to "Salesman" in Pig Latin), was bullied and ostracised by the other [[Teensie]]s at magic school for his poor magical abilities. He secretly admired [[Mr Dark]], whom he wanted to emulate, and also developed a hatred for the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], whose nightmares had repeatedly overcome the [[Glade of Dreams]] and were a constant threat to its inhabitants. As a consequence, he concocted a plan, where he hid a microphone in [[the Snoring Tree]] so that the heroes' snoring would irritate and ultimately start a war with the [[Livid Dead]]. This microphone, disguised as a flower, can still be seen in the final game, in both the beginning and ending sequences. Throughout the game, the Magician pretended that he was still a friend of the heroes, allowing him to collect [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] from them in exchange for [[Electoon]]s which they could use to reach new levels. The Magician used these [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] to power his mechas: gigantic machines, including [[Mecha Carnivora]] and [[Mecha Mockingbird]], which he was building to take over the [[Glade of Dreams]], imposing order and eliminating the chaos of the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s nightmares. Eventually, however, the heroes reached the Magician's headquarters in the [[Moody Clouds]] and put a stop to his plans.

~~It is unknown why this~~ plot was scrapped from the final game, and all that is left of it is the posters on the walls in the Magician's headquarters, indicating that the part about him being an admirer of [[Mr Dark]] still holds true, as well as the microphone in the beginning and ending scenes.

This plot was scrapped from the final game due to time constraints, and all that is left of it is the posters on the walls in the Magician's headquarters, indicating that the part about him being an admirer of [[Mr Dark]] still holds true, as well as the microphone in the beginning and ending scenes.

Additionally, the early script for the game contains dialogue from the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] which mentions a playable character called [[Teensoudini]], whose name suggests he was also a [[Teensie|Teensy]] magician. His connection with the Magician is unknown.
