==In ''Rayman 2 Forever''==
Globox appears in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', although his role is drastically decreased. He is still captured at the start of the game and gives [[Rayman]] the [[Silver Lum]], however he does not appear again until the end, where he has a cameo appearance celebrating [[Rayman]]'s victory.

==In ''Rayman Revolution''==
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]].

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.

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], Globox is only seen in the introduction and ending scenes. As in [[Rayman 3|the main version of the game]] he swallows a [[Black Lum]], although the circumstances surrounding this are not explored, except for the fact that he did it to save the [[Teensie]]s. He then runs away from [[Rayman]], unable to keep still, and [[Rayman]] spends the rest of the game looking for him. At some point, Globox is captured by [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, who are looking for the [[Black Lum]]. [[Rayman]] breaks into the [[Pirate Stronghold]] and saves him, at which point he spits out the [[Black Lum]] and all is well. [[Rayman]] and Globox then return to the [[Baby Globox]]es, where Globox tells a story that implies it was all because of him that the [[Black Lum]] was defeated. When [[Rayman]] complains, Globox admits that [[Rayman]] "did help a bit", to which [[Rayman]] replies "Thanks pa, we knew you could do it".

{{quote|text=A quiet force within [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]], Globox is never to be underestimated. Always ready to lend a hand to his friends and adversaries alike, his mastery of Fung-Ku and etiquette comes down to the classic Gimme Five move, a solid smack that can knock you right out of your boxer shorts! This glorious goober* is, nevertheless, everything you could want in a friend. Always up for a little fooding, fighting, and power-napping − and always in good spirits − Globox is second to none when it comes to romping, bouncing, and bubble-ising baddies. The mystery surrounding how [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]’s all­-time undefeated champion snoozer became blue is a matter of some speculation among the magic peoples. The other [[Red Wizard]]s of his Vubooduboo­-practising clan whisper of venomous bubeastietubbis, while the [[Teensie]]s favor an epic tale of high-comedy featuring Globox’s fondness for sacred [[plum juice]].
