==Trivia==

* When ''Rayman 2'' was released in Japan, Rayman's purple clothes and the stripes on Ly's suit ~~had to be~~ changed to blue, because it was ~~thought~~ that purple is the color of death in Japan. This ~~is however incorrect as~~ purple ~~actually represents wealth and power~~. ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is also the only [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]] ~~in Japan~~ where ~~such~~ change was made.

* When ''Rayman 2'' was released in Japan, Rayman's purple clothes and the stripes on Ly's suit were changed to blue, because it was believed that purple was the color of death in Japan. Purple, however, traditionally represents the aristocratic class in Japanese culture. This belief may have stemmed from the practice of Thai widows to wear purple when in mourning. ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is also the only [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]] where this sort of change was made in the Japanese localization.

* One of Rayman's hobbies is painting, which was revealed at a later point in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and in ''[[Rayman Junior]]''.

* Rayman also seems to like basketball. In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', he would sometimes take his body off and play with it like a basketball whenever he is left idle. Also, in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] if the player decided to continue at the "Game Over" screen, Rayman would throw his body through a basketball net and catch it.
