Great Protoon: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

In the intro sequence for most versions of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], the Great Protoon is first seen floating between two enormous carven stone hands. However, in intro sequence for the Atari Jaguar version of the game, the Great Protoon is first shown in a grassy outdoor area surrounded by hilly terrain. It is perched atop a large round stone, upon which is carved three symbols resembling the O on Rayman's chest. Waves of energy can be seen radiating from the Great Protoon, and several [[Electoon]]s are visibly gravitating around it, while Rayman frolicks with more Electoons in the foreground. It can be inferred from these two intro sequences that the Great Protoon is sometimes moved about from one location to another. After completing the game, the player can view an epilogue screen which shows that the Great Protoon has recovered. It appears to have been returned to the stone upon which it was seen in the Atari Jaguar version's intro sequence.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', the Great Protoon is replaced by [[the Heart of the World]], a glowing pink sphere comprised of 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s. In addition to their similar appearance, the two objects serve the same function (the provision of energy and harmony throughout the world), and the catastrophic consequences which result when they come under attack (the proliferation of freaks and hostile characters) is also the same. It has been speculated that the Great Protoon and the Heart of the World are actually the same object, only under different names. The way in which the Heart appears to be comprised of many bodies of light while the Great Protoon seemed to contain only a few may be a result of its destruction at the hands of the [[Robo-Pirate]] army and its subsequent reconstruction by the [[Teensie]]s.

[[Image:HeartOfTheWorld.jpg|thumb|right|316px|[[The Heart of the World]] ~~is thought to~~ be the Great Protoon under another name; both are pink orbs of energy, both serve the same function and both play very similar roles in their respective games]]

The Great Protoon's name is derived from the word ‘proton’, while the [[Electoon]]s' name is derived from the word ‘electron’. Protons and electrons are subatomic particles; electrons orbit protons and provide them with stability.
