'''''Tonic Trouble''''' is a game that was developed by ~~Ubisoft~~ Montréal, initially to test the 3D engines used by ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. It is notable for featuring limbless characters akin to the earlier ''[[Rayman]]'' games although it is actually set on Earth; in fact, one of these characters appears as a cameo at a very late point in ''Rayman 2''. It was released for the Nintendo 64, PC and Game Boy Color (only in Europe) in 1999.

==Gameplay==

The game sticks very closely to the formula found in the ~~first~~ ''Rayman''. Much like in ''Rayman'', Ed starts off defenseless and acquires new weapons and powerups throughout the game. Also, each stage includes 6 objects that Ed must collect in order to properly complete it. The main difference between the two games is that ''Tonic Trouble'' is in 3d, and some stages in the game focus more on puzzle solving than platforming. In addition to the 6 objects in each stage, Ed must also collect 120 antidotes hidden throughout the levels and Southern Plains hub map in order to access the Magic Mushrooms Lair late in the game (akin to needing all of the [[Electoons]] to enter [[Candy Château]] in ''Rayman'').

==Music==

The music in ''Tonic Trouble'' was composed by [[Éric Chevalier]] who also did the soundtrack to ''Rayman 2''. The soundtrack is very eclectic and experimental in nature. In one portion of the game bagpipes, a rhythm guitar, a beat boxer and a synthesizer can be heard at the same time. The music was intended to be interactive and would change depending on the mood Ed was feeling in each room, but in the final version of the PC game each track is a long suite of sorts.

Ed also has his own short jingle "theme" that can be heard in some of the tracks that sounds almost like the inverse of Rayman's theme from Rayman 2.
