== My History with Rayman ==

I first discovered this limbless legend on my Amazon Fire tablet. They had two [[Rayman (series)|Rayman]] games on here: [[Rayman Jungle Run]] and [[Rayman Fiesta Run]]. The folks over at Amazon would later get rid of the latter game, making me sad, since, in my opinion, that one was the best of the two. But anyway, my young and curious self stumbled upon [[Rayman Jungle Run]] while I was looking for auto-running games, like Minion Rush, which I really liked back then. I was curious, and had lots of questions (mainly why the heck this guy doesn't have limbs), so I downloaded it. And BOY am I glad that I did. The cartoony graphics, art style, and characters were appealing to me, and it was fun getting every [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] and unlocking (and completing) every [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] level. I downloaded [[Rayman Fiesta Run]] and had even more fun with it, due to its expanded roster of characters, its modernized art style, and its large amount of levels.

Later, I found out a select amount of [[Rayman (series)|Rayman]] games were on the PlayStation 2, which we owned. I was able to find [[Rayman Raving Rabbids]] (even though these days, I wish I would've gotten it on the Wii), [[Rayman Arena]], [[Rayman 2 Revolution]], and [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]] at eStarland, which was near the church me and my family would go to. I had a blast with these games, and I still enjoy them to this day, despite me playing them less frequently these days.

Then came the years of darkness.

Even though I had gotten [[Rayman Legends#Nintendo Switch (Rayman Legends Definitive Edition)|Rayman Legends Definitive Edition]] about five years after its release, I still felt that [[Rayman]] had a bright future ahead of him.

But then, [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope|IT]] happened.

A teaser during Ubisoft Forward 2022 had revealed that after years of absence, [[Rayman]] would return in a new DLC for [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]] (which, along with [[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]], is the only [[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids]] game I have on the Switch right now). I was overjoyed, as I know the rest of the community was. The following year's Ubisoft Forward game us some more footage of the DLC, and of [[Rayman]]'s new design. In-game, it was... interesting, to say the least. As of writing this (July 13, 2023), the DLC still hasn't released yet, but my anticipation is through the roof. I cannot wait to play this, and hopefully, this is just the beginning of [[Rayman]]'s revival.
