Rayman Legends: Difference between revisions

===[[Teensies In Trouble]]===

The nightmares are invading the area and are capturing [[Teensie]]s as they do so, it is here that the heroes have slept for many years, and are finally awoken by [[Murfy]]. After explaining the situation, [[Murfy]] and the heroes go forth to save the [[Teensie]]s. The area contains various castle structures and deep forestry to progress through. The heroes also encounter the first [[Dark Teensy]], and chase him through a desert landscape. The heroes enter a castle-like area, where they encounter many strange beasts. Later on, the heroes will encounter the [[Dark Teensy]] once again, where he will summon dragons to keep the heroes at bay, the last of which, the [[Medieval Dragon]], serving as the boss of this world, once bested, the heroes can then defeat the [[Dark Teensy]], and send him flying to the [[moon]]. The world ends with the musical level of [[Castle Rock]], a parody of the song ''Black Betty'' by Ram Jam.

===[[Toad Story]]===

This world contains many tall beanstalk areas to traverse through, as well as floating castle ruins caught within strong wind currents. Another [[Dark Teensy]] resides in this world, and has fitted the boss of this world with mechanical armaments to fight the heroes, as an [[Armored Toad]]. Once the [[Armored Toad]] is beaten, it suffers the fate of crashing into a castle. The [[Dark Teensy]] of this world is sent to the [[moon]] to resign to a similar fate as the first. The world ends with the musical level of [[Orchestral Chaos]], which apart from [[Grannies World Tour]] is the only piece of music in such levels that is original and not licensed.

===[[Fiesta de los Muertos]]===

A food world not unlike the [[Gourmand Land]] of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', and [[Candy Château]] of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], this world is inhabited by [[Mariachi|Mexican-inspired skeletons]], and giant [[Luchador]]es. The [[Dark Teensy]] of this world shows some of the magic abilities he now possesses, by turning the heroes into ducks in some levels, requiring [[Murfy]] to aid the heroes in surpassing the various obstacles the world features. Once the [[Dark Teensy]] is cornered, he will call upon a large [[Luchador]] to give chase to the heroes, who only escape him once they reach a lava pit that the [[Luchador]] fall into it, thus defeating it. The boss of this world is [[El Luchador]], whose fight takes place within an arena. By defeating him, the [[Dark Teensy]] of this world can be sent to the [[moon]], joining his other like minded selves. The world ends with the musical level of [[Mariachi Madness]], which is a parody of the song ''Eye of the Tiger'' by Survivor.

===[[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]]===

This world starts out like the water levels featured in the [[Sea of Serendipity]], but soon takes a more darker edge, and resembles a part of the [[Moody Clouds]]. Inspired by the themes involved in spy movies, the heroes will need to avoid many elaborate traps and obstacles created to prevent them from infiltrating the mechanical facilities that the [[Dark Teensy]] of this world has built, he has also tamed a [[Sea Serpent]], and will use it to fend off the heroes when chased by them. He has also enlisted the help of [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|Toads]] in spy gear, and [[Sharkman|Sharkmen]] to secure his facilities, both make for dangerous opponents due to their capability of using ranged attacks, meaning the heroes must watch themselves to prevent bubblization. Finally, the [[Dark Teensy]] has built a [[Mechanical Dragon]] to serve as a boss for this world, whom the heroes accidentally activate near the end of their time in the world. After a ferocious battle, the [[Dark Teensy]] is, ironically, trapped by the body of his creation, is also sent to the [[moon]]. The world ends with the musical level of [[Gloo Gloo]], which is a parody of the song ''Woo Hoo'' by The 5.6.7.8's, as featured in the film ''Kill Bill: Volume 1''.

===[[Olympus Maximus]]===

This world is inspired by Ancient Greece, and is set atop high up mountains, deep caverns, and ancient Greco-Roman buildings. The heroes of this world come across many obstacles, such as a mysterious floating hand, which shoots down thunder upon them, swarms of [[dark creature]]s that cannot be harmed physically by the heroes, and [[Minotaur]]s, some of which can shoot fire from their mouths. The [[Dark Teensy]] of this world will summon dragons when being encountered for the first time, who will chase the heroes through various labyrinthine corridors and chasms. To end, a mysterious [[Dark Cloud]] serves as the boss of this world, going through various forms, each requiring extreme tenacity and skill to beat, once beaten, the heroes are awarded with a vast amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], before finally sending the final [[Dark Teensy]] to the [[moon]]. The heroes celebrate the new age of peace in the [[The Glade of Dreams|Glade]]. The world ends with the musical level of [[Dragon Slayer]], which is a parody of the song ''Antisocial'' originally by Trust.

===[[Living Dead Party]]===

Once 400 [[Teensie]]s are freed, this world unlocks, allowing the heroes to traverse [[Grannies World Tour]], a remix of the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] theme of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''  and "8 bit" versions of each musical level. The 8-bit levels are carbon copies of the previous music levels, but with added visual effects and filters that greatly increase the difficulty.

== Gameplay ==

Shortly after the game's November 2011 release, [[Michel Ancel]] stated 'One has to know that ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' isn't just one game – we plan to make others, with retro 2D gameplay, and to give more and more details on the story.'<ref>GameShake, ''Toulouse Game Show 2011 : interview de Michel Ancel'', http://www.gameshake.fr/?p=923</ref> In March 2012, artistic director Christophe Villez hinted that a new [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]] would be revealed in June, at E3 2012.<ref>Bafta.org, ''GAME British Academy Video Games Awards'', http://www.bafta.org/games/awards/</ref> Also in March 2012, Bertrant Chaverot, the general director of [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Brazil]], stated that ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' would have a continuation, but did not reveal any details.<ref>Kotaku Brasil, ''[ATUALIZADO] Lá vem Rayman Origins 2, avisa a Ubisoft'' http://www.kotaku.com.br/la-vem-rayman-origins-2-avisa-a-ubisoft/</ref>

On 23 April, 2012, a marketing survey containing information about ''Rayman Legends'' was leaked to the games media. The survey contained several pieces of information regarding the ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' sequel, along with two gameplay videos (though only screenshots of these were included in the leak; one of the originals leak videos can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH3mjUPVg-A here]). Like its predecessor, the game will feature co-operative gameplay with up to four players. It will also feature 'brand new settings: legendary worlds filled with castles, vampires, Ghosts, Greek Gods, or dragons...'<ref>Kotaku, ''Marketing Survey Hints at a Rayman Origins Sequel of Mythic Proportions'', http://kotaku.com/5904264/marketing-survey-hints-at-a-rayman-origins-sequel-of-mythic-proportions/gallery/1</ref> The following day, the videos from which the images were taken were uploaded to YouTube, but both were quickly taken down at the request of [[Ubisoft]].<ref>PS3gen.fr, ''Rayman Origins : 2 vidéos volées d'un nouvel opus se promenent sur internet'', http://www.ps3gen.fr/rayman-origins-2-suite-nouvel-opus-episode-jeu-videos-officieux-non-annonce-trailer-ubisoft-actualite-24768.html</ref>

On 26 April, 2012, [[Ubisoft]] registered the domain names 'RaymanLegends.com' and 'Rayman-Legends.com',<ref>Fusible, ''Ubisoft Entertainment registers "Rayman Legends" domain names'', http://www.fusible.com/2012/04/ubisoft-entertainment-registers-rayman-legends-domain-names/</ref> leading to speculation that ''Rayman Legends'' would be the title of the ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' sequel.

=== Announcement ===

On 27 April, 2012, the first full-length trailer for the game was leaked to the public.<ref>MCV, ''VIDEO: Rayman Legends trailer confirms special Wii U functionality'', http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/video-rayman-legends-trailer-confirms-special-wii-u-functionality/095175</ref> It features the aforementioned settings, gives more details on online gameplay and reveals a new playable character: a [[Betilla]] the Fairy-like warrior girl known as [[Barbara]]. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&v=gmx17Mwo-2c</ref> In the Wii U version of the game, the player will be able to use certain physical toys to interact with the game world; this is similar to the premise of ''Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure''. The trailer shows a player scanning a [[Rabbid]] toy to enter a level where [[Rayman]] must fight [[Rabbid]]s, and hints that similar functionality will be possible with toys based on other [[Ubisoft]] characters, such as Ezio from the ''Assassin's Creed'' series. [[Ubisoft]] initially attempted to suppress the videos, but after a few hours they released an official statement, confirming that ''Rayman Legends'' was being developed by [[Michel Ancel]] and [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]], but downplaying the video's accuracy, claiming that 'This video was intended as a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features. The game was officially unveiled with a gameplay demonstration at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo, showcasing [[Murfy]], a new playable character, controlled via the Wii U system's touch screen on the tablet controller. It also showed medieval-themed stages as well as a rhythm-based map of the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' featuring remixed music.'<ref>Wii News at IGN, ''Wii U Details Revealed By Leaked Rayman Trailer'', http://ie.wii.ign.com/articles/122/1223893p1.html</ref>

=== Release ===

On 23 August 2013, the [[Rayman Legends Beatbox|''Rayman Legends'' Beatbox App]] became available on the internet, iTunes, and Android devices. This app allows users to create their own songs from scratch, or by using Legendary Mode, which allows them to edit the game songs with 3 choices: [[Teensies in Trouble]], [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]], and [[Fiesta de los Muertos]]. On 28 August 2013, [[Ubisoft]] announced on the ''Rayman Legends'' site that the European PlayStation Vita Version has been delayed to 12 September 2013 to apply the "Final level of polish" players expect from a [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]].

At one point, during an interview, [[Michel Ancel]] revealed some concept art for an unreleased world, named [[Dracula's castle]], and stating that maybe one day they would release it, thus suggesting DLC in the future. This theme was later implemented into ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', a mobile spin-off.

A PlayStation Vita port<ref>PlayStation Vita trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXlsVfpuL0w</ref> was released in September 2013. This version has the player control [[Murfy]] on the touch-screen like on the Wii U version. A new painting, titled [[Murfy's Challenges]], was added with new levels and two new costumes. Several other stages have minor changes made to them. This version supports 2-player co-op, in which the second player controls [[Murfy]]. This is the only version to not have the [[Online Challenges]] go through Uplay. At launch the game didn't come with any Invasion levels. These were however added in the 1.02 patch in November 2013.

In January 2017, a remake, titled ''Rayman Legends Definitive Edition'' was announced for the Nintendo Switch. This version utilizes touch screen controls for [[Murfy]], similarly to the Wii U and PlayStation Vita versions, while the console is in handheld mode through the new [[Murfy's Touch]] painting. Old features, such as the [[Online Challenges]], make a return with online leaderboards. Unlike the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions it does have loading screens between levels. The main difference is the inclusion of the [[Kung Foot|Kung Foot Tournament]] mode where players can play several rounds of the game in a tournament style. The game also features a new painting titled [[Murfy's Touch]] which can only be played in handheld mode. It included past sections involving [[Murfy]] and has 126 new [[Teensie]]s to free, making the total amount 826. The unlock requirements for the paintings has however not changed. Other changes include [[Kung Foot]] now having a Single Player mode and the ability to play local co-op using two systems. <ref>Nintendo Direct https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDedvre19es</ref> <ref>Rayman Legends Definitive Edition Official page https://www.ubisoft.com/en-US/game/rayman-legends-definitive-edition</ref> In July 2017 a free [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] was accidentally released with noticeable sound glitches. Within a few hours the [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] was removed from the eShop. On July 25th 2017, the game was officially announced to be launching on September 12th, 2017 in both North America and Europe with the [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] stated to be properly release later in Summer 2017. The demo was released close thereafter with the same content as the previously released one, though without the sound glitches.
