====''[[Rayman Revolution]]''====
Though Globox's primary roles in ''Revolution'' were similar to those in ''Rayman 2'', a few new elements were added. In ''Revolution'', Globox does not grant Rayman the ability to shoot his [[Magic Fist]], but instead simply allows Rayman to punch.  Globox's [[Globox's House|house]], children, and relation with [[Uglette]] are depicted in a larger scale; [[Globox's Daughter|one of his daughters]] is an important character later in the game, Uglette is constantly seen worrying about Globox, and his cliffside house's acres of land are the setting for one half of the second part of the game. Globox joins Rayman on a few occasions in a fashion similar to [[Clark]] or Globox's role in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. Globox must be taken past [[Whale Bay]] to use his [[Rain Dance]] so as to enable entry to [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].

Globox remains physically similar to his original appearance, though had become a comedic sidekick for this next appearance. Globox plays a major plot role, having swallowed André accidentally and having to find a doctor who would find a solution to remove André from Globox during the first half of the game. During this time, Globox is forced to drink [[plum juice]], despite allergies, and during a somewhat drunken state he gains special abilities for short periods of time that are needed to progress Rayman through the game or move Globox forward through the level (by floating). Through the second half he plays a lesser role, though tends to follow Rayman on their journey, ocasionally bringing up the odd surprise. He is notably voice acted by actor John Leguizamo.
