Born To Slide and Speed Stress

Hi there and thanks for your contributions! Indeed, Born To Slide and Extreme Slide look like entirely different levels and it makes sense for them to have separate articles despite the identical French name, but why did you state that Born To Slide is known as Speed Stress in the Xbox and GameCube versions of Rayman Arena? The article for Speed Stress states that it is called Run, Run in the Xbox and GameCube versions of Rayman Arena, and indeed, both levels appear to be identical, but different from Born To Slide on PC. There appears to be a level called Speed Stress on GameCube, but it looks nothing like Born To Slide either. Am I missing something here? It would be great to clarify the situation with appropriate disambiguation notices if possible. Thanks! — 00:32, 5 March 2024 (CET)

Hello! The thing is: the GC/Xbox Speed Stress IS the renamed and slightly changed (one additional course section generated at random and some visual differences: blue and yellow 3D skeleton instead of Rayman M's green one and a space landscape (the space landscape has been implemented in the very late stage of development, as you can see on the level icon that it was earlier just a recolored Born To Slide track in the mesh corridor) Born To Slide. The layout of the track remains practically the same. In the original, French version of Rayman Arena the devs had to rename some tracks, because they created a whole new different stage for "Glisse Extrême". Thus, the course known in Rayman M as "Glisse Extrême" has been renamed "Vive l'Adrénaline" ("Speed Stress"). As the name has been taken for another stage, the name of the original final racecourse of Rayman M, "Vive Adrénaline", has been changed to "Cours, Cours" ("Run, Run"). I hope that this clarification helped at least a bit!

Thanks, much clearer now! I have added a few disambiguation and/or clarification bits there and there, given how confusing this whole mess can be at first. I would now like to reflect those changes in the French wiki as well: for now, it has one article Glisse Extrême, which, if my understanding is correct, amalgamates the Rayman M level Born To Slide and the Xbox/GameCube Rayman Arena level Extreme Slide, and one article Vive l'Adrénaline, which is for the Xbox/GameCube Rayman Arena Speed Stress, aka Born To Slide (albeit with minor changes). Would it make sense for me to split "Glisse Extrême" into, say, "Glisse Extrême" and "Glisse Extrême (Rayman Arena)", and merge "Vive l'Adrénaline" into "Glisse Extrême" as its section for Rayman Arena? Let me know what you think, I'd rather double check with you first rather than mess everything up. Thanks! — 13:50, 6 March 2024 (CET)

Sounds good! They're all confusing, those little differences between M, Arena and Rush, but I must say that they're so interesting to me. I find them really fascinating, though I know that this sounds kinda silly... Anyway, thanks again for the corrections! I'm trying my best to apply all the rules of writing articles and adding images, but, as you can see, I'm still not really fluent. Fussilli (talk) 15:09, 6 March 2024 (CET)

Done! And no problem, your contributions are great. Just one thing to keep in mind: please make sure you're uploading screenshots at the console's native resolution, without any upscaling or cropping (dimensions should always be consistent). Thanks again! — 20:29, 6 March 2024 (CET)
