An official piece of Rayman 3 artwork, doing a grimace on a mushroom.

The grimace is Rayman's initial line of defence, which he has been capable of right from the beginning of the original game. To grimace, Rayman stretches his mouth wide with his hands, sticks out his tongue, rolls his eyes and makes a gurgling sound with his throat. The power's functions vary from game to game.



In Rayman

Rayman doing a grimace, in the original Rayman game.

In Rayman the only use for this power is to scare tall Livingstones; when they see the grimace, they are driven mad with fear and start to run uncontrollably, usually killing themselves by falling into water. In the first part of the Swamps of Forgetfulness, the grimace is temporarily replaced by the Magic Seed which Rayman receives from Tarayzan. When he defeats Mr Stone in Mr Stone's Peaks, Betilla grants him the power to run, which permanently replaces the grimace.







In Rayman 2

Rayman doing a grimace, in Rayman 2 game. This animation is triggered only in the Sega Dreamcast, Apple iPhone/iPod Touch and 3DS versions by letting Rayman idle for some time.

The grimace does not appear in most versions of Rayman 2; however, in the Dreamcast, iPhone/iPod Touch and 3DS versions of the game Rayman occasionally performs a grimace at the camera if left idle by the player for a time. He also does this in the Game Boy Advance and N-GAGE version of Rayman 3.

In Rayman 3

Rayman performing a grimace in Rayman 3. In this game, it can be used to revert Black Lums in Red Lums.
The promotional statue of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc

In Rayman 3, however, Gumsi uses the Sceptre of the Leptys to grant Rayman this power after he defeats Reflux in the Desert of the Knaaren. Rayman can then use this power to convert Black Lums back into Red Lums by making them laugh after defeating their Hoodlum costumes. It is known as ‘The Power of the Leptys’ in this game. A promotional statue to Rayman 3 which recreates the grimace artwork was done in a limited number to hundreds of units worldwide, very few containing a box and an artwork book with conceptual art of the game.

Rayman wields his grimace against Jano in the handheld version of Rayman 3.
