They can be seen in the background of many levels, like [[the Woods of Light]], [[the Fairy Glade]], [[the Walk of Life]], [[the Menhir Hills]] or [[the Walk of Power]]. ''[[Rayman 2]]'''s credits give a special thanks to someone called ‘Popolopoy’, providing a likely inspiration for the name given to them in ''[[Rayman M]]''.

The blue Popolopoïs are common, while the orange ones are rarer and grant more time than the blue ones. | ||
