Though Globox's role in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' is similar to that in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', a few new elements were added. In ''[[Rayman Revolution|Revolution]]'', Globox does not grant [[Rayman]] the ability to shoot his [[magic fist]], but instead simply allows [[Rayman]] to [[Telescopic fist|punch]]. Globox's [[Globox's House|house]], children, and relation with [[Uglette]] are depicted in a larger scale; [[Bimbette|one of his daughters]] is an important character later in the game, [[Uglette]] is constantly seen worrying about Globox, and his cliffside house's acres of land are the setting for the middle third of the game. Globox joins [[Rayman]] on a few occasions in a fashion similar to [[Clark]] or Globox's role in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox must be taken past [[Whale Bay]] to use his [[Rain Dance]] so as to enable entry to [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. | Though Globox's role in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' is similar to that in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', a few new elements were added.

Globox remains physically similar to his original appearance, though had become a comedic sidekick for this next appearance. Globox plays a major plot role, having accidentally swallowed [[André]] and having to find a [[Teensie Doctor|doctor]] who would find a way to remove [[André]] from Globox during the first half of the game. During this time, Globox is forced by [[André]] to drink [[plum juice]], despite his allergies, and during a somewhat drunken state he gains special abilities for short periods of time that are needed to progress [[Rayman]] through the game or move Globox forward through the level (by floating). Through the second half he plays a lesser role, though tends to follow [[Rayman]] on their journey, occasionally bringing up the odd surprise. He is notably voice acted by actor John Leguizamo. | Globox remains physically similar to his original appearance, though had become a comedic sidekick for this next appearance.

In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows [[Rayman]] through much of the game, similar to ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox is also a playable character in some levels. Often times there will be a puzzle-like sequence of events that requires the player to use both [[Rayman]] and Globox to move forward in the level. As [[André]] has been consumed once more, Globox can use the effects of [[plum juice]] to do certain things to move on in the stage, such as breaking metal bars. | In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows [[Rayman]] through much of the game, similar to ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

Globox next appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The trailer shows [[Rayman]]'s first meeting with Globox, prior to the events of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. It is said that Globox is [[Rayman]]'s ‘double, his blood brother, his id’. ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' reveals that Globox is one of a group of beings known as the [[Red Wizard]]s; like the others, Globox was originally red, but he became blue when attacked by blue [[mosquito]]es. [[Red Globox]] is an unlockable character in the game. In this game Globox can fly by flapping his arms, unlike in the other games when he has to inflate to 'float'. ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' is also the only game that Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] refers to Globox as "the biggest [[glute]] in [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]" when that name was used in reference to [[bird]]-like creatures that only appeared in the beta of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. | Globox next appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
