==Trivia==

* 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.

* A glitch involves Jano, which has been known to occur in the PC, N64 and Dreamcast versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. If the player returns to [[the Marshes of Awakening]] after beating [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], then they can see a shrunken Jano over water, just on the left side of the log leading to 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 version of ''Rayman 2''. In this version, [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] is accessed directly through a [[Spiral Door]] in [[the Hall of Doors]], and the meeting in [[the Marshes of Awakening]] does not occur. Jano does not actually appear in the game until the beginning of Rayman's battle against him.
