I don't think it's semantically correct to "contradict a continuity". Contradicted events lead to discontinuity.

'''Jano''' (commonly known as '''the Guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams''') is a character from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' (and its remakes, excluding ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'') in which he guards [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], as well as [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] where he is involved with [[Robo-Pirate|the pirates]]. In the former game, he is the Guardian of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], a subterranean grotto in which the nightmares of [[Polokus]] are found and which it is his job to ensure are kept locked away. Jano also guards precious treasure, which, until found by [[Rayman]], was only rumoured to exist.

The manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' states that Jano was the first nightmare of [[Polokus]], and that [[Polokus]] begot Jano during the [[First Bad Dream]]. It also states that Jano is the progenitor of the [[Antitoon]]s. It was in response to this endless swarm of [[Antitoon]]s that [[Betilla]] the Fairy and her [[nymph]] sisters created [[Rayman]], meaning that Jano is indirectly responsible for [[Rayman]]'s existence. This origin-story, however, contradicts the continuity of previous [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]]. (The game's official site claims that [[Polokus]] ''became'' Jano, but this is simply a mistranslation from the original French.)
