While he remains Rayman's daft sidekick in these games, in ''Rayman 2'' he is portrayed as a dim but loveable and well-meaning character, whereas in ''Rayman 3'' he seems more articulate but less intelligent, and acts rude at times. While very cowardly in ''Rayman 2'', in Globox can become very rash while under the influence of [[Plum Juice]] in ''Rayman 3'', yelling drunken taunts at the [[Hoodlum]]s and sometimes standing defiantly in their line of fire (though he is never hurt by this). In ''Rayman Origins'', his personality changes almost completely, acting more dimwitted, cheerful, and no longer cowardly. | ||

Globox makes his first appearance in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. His story, which begins before the game starts, is detailed in the game's manual. When the [[Robo-Pirate]]s invade [[the Glade of Dreams]], [[Rayman]] and Globox, along with their friends, join forces in rebellion against the enemy. One day, the heroes travel to [[the Great Forest]] to ambush the pirates. Globox helps by causing pirates to rest with his [[Rain Dance]]. Rayman praises his efforts, but loses his powers when the pirates destroy [[the Heart of the World]], and is soon captures. This leaves Globox with no choice but to flee in hopes that he might find [[Ly the Fairy]] and ask for further instructions. Ly gives Globox a [[Silver Lum]], and instructs him to surrender himself to the pirates.. | Globox makes his first appearance in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.

In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows Rayman through much of the game, similar to Rayman 3. Globox is also a playable character in some levels. Often times there will be a puzzle-like sequence of events that requires the player to use both Rayman and Globox to move forward in the level. As Andre has been consumed once more, Globox can use the effects of [[plum juice]] to do certain things to move on in the stage, such as breaking metal bars. | In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows Rayman through much of the game, similar to Rayman 3.

{{quote|text=A quiet force within [[the Glade of Dreams|the Glade]], Globox is never to be underestimated. Always ready to lend a hand to his friends and adversaries alike, his mastery of Fung-Ku and etiquette comes down to the classic Gimme Five move, a solid smack that can knock you right out of your boxers! This glorious goober is, nevertheless, everything you could want in a friend. Always up for a little fooding, fighting, and power-napping, and always in good spirits, Globox is second to none when it comes to romping, bouncing, and bubblizing baddies. The mystery surrounding how the Glade’s all-time undefeated champion snoozer became blue is a matter of some speculation among the magic people. The other [[Red Wizard]]s of his Vubooduboo-practicing clan whisper of venomous bubeastietubbis, while the [[Teensie]]s favor an epic tale of high comedy featuring Globox’s fondness for sacred [[plum juice]].|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}} | |||
Globox next appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He is a playable character in the game's co-op mode. The trailer shows [[Rayman]]'s first meeting with Globox, prior to the events of ''[[Rayman 1]]''. It is said that Globox is [[Rayman]]'s ‘double, his blood brother, his id’. ''Origins'' reveals that Globox is one of a group of beings known as the [[Red Wizard]]s; like the others, Globox was originally red, but he became blue when attacked by blue [[mosquito]]es. Red Globox is an unlockable character in the game. In this game Globox can fly by flapping his arms, unlike in the other games when he has to inflate to 'float'. Origins is also the only game that Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, [[Polokus]] refers to Globox as "the biggest [[glute]] in the Glade" when that name was used in reference to bird-like creatures that only appeared in the beta of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. | Globox next appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
