==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

In ''[[Rayman 2~~: The Great Escape~~]]'', Carmen is captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s and imprisoned in the [[Whale Bay]]. Her captors planned to kill her for her blubber, so they could use it to grease the engines of the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. Once Carmen has been rescued by [[Rayman]], she makes it possible for him to swim through the huge underwater caverns by releasing [[air bubble]]s for him to collect and breathe. As long as he collects them frequently enough, he can stay underwater for an indefinite period of time. In the ~~Sony~~ PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Carmen led [[Rayman]] to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], which has been reduced to a small area at the end of the [[Whale Bay]]; in all other versions, she simply leads him to the end of the level.

[[Rayman]] rides Carmen in one of the loading animations in the game; this is the only act depicted in a loading animation that cannot actually be performed in the game, indicating that [[Ubisoft|the developers]] may have originally intended for [[Rayman]] to be able to ride Carmen at some point during the game.
