Globox Disc, sometimes abbreviated as simply the Disk, is a minigame which was created as an exclusive bonus for the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. It was later included in Rayman Revolution, under the abbreviated name Glob Disk, or the further-abbreviated name BDisc. The minigame is said to be a re-enactment of a mythic battle between the gods at the dawn of time, when they fought for control of the Yellow Lums (hence yet another alternate name, the Game of the Gods).
In the minigame, the player takes control of a baby Globox of their choice. The options include a standard blue male baby, a standard pink female baby, Brainox, Bimbette, Catastrox, Hardrox and Oktette.The player controls the baby of their choice as they make their way through a revolving disc-shaped labyrinth, collecting power-ups and avoiding dangerous objects and red Jano-like creatures. The player must grab some glowing lights (representing Yellow Lums) from the centre of the Disc, then get them to a base at one of the Disc's corners. When the symbolic Lums are taken to a base, the player gains a number of points. The game offers multiple customisable options regarding how many points are required to win and whether or not there is a time limit. The game also features multiplayer options, where two players can compete for Lums.
In the Dreamcast version, Globox Disc is the third of three minigames accessible from the Globox Village, the first being Pyralums and the second being Weblums. In order to open the portal leading to Globox Disc, Rayman must collect all of the six Glob Crystals which are hidden throughout the game. In this version, Globox Disc has its own cinematic intro sequence, in which the player gets to see some wall-inscriptions apparently made by Globoxes. A baby Globox nearby then drops the third Mask of Polokus into a pool, causing the Disc itself to rise out of the water.
In Revolution, BDisc is one of the three minigames accessible from the Magic Wells. It is accessible by collecting 800 Yellow Lums and after buying all power upgrades. The player can also buy access to Missile Dogfight for 950 Yellow Lums, and Globox Football for 1000 Yellow Lums.
