Jano: Difference between revisions - RayWiki, the Rayman wiki

Line 25:

* Jano's name is possibly derived from that of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus Janus], the two-faced Roman god of gates. This may be an allusion to Jano's two-faced nature: sometimes he helps [[Rayman]]; other times he tries to kill him.

* There is one interesting glitch involving Jano, which has been known to occur in the PC and N64 versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. If the player goes back again to [[the Marshes of Awakening]] after beating [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], then they can see a little Jano over water, just on left side from the cave, where [[Rayman]] appears after choosing this level.

* Jano's name was not confirmed until the GBA version of Rayman 3. In Rayman 2 he is simply referred to as "The guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams". Interestingly, the minor character of [[Eig]] is named in Rayman 2, but it is never made clear immediately who the name belongs to. Therefore, many mistakenly assumed Jano to be Eig. (Eig is in fact a large but unimportant fish found in [[The Marshes of Awakening]] on most versions of the game.

* Like almost every other boss, Jano is absent from the GBC version of Rayman 2, along with the entire subplot involving the elixer. The Cave of Bad Dreams here appears to be simply another world Rayman must pass through.

* Jano's role is smaller in the Playstation 1 version of Rayman 2, due to the Cave of Bad Dreams being accessed through just another portal in the Hall of Doors, the entire event in the Marshes of Awakening does not occur. Therefore, Jano does not actually appear in the game until the begining of the battle against him.
