Gameplay
The goal of most of Brawlhalla's game modes is to launch opponents into any of the four blastzones, or off-screen areas, similarly to Super Smash Bros. games. The more damage a player takes, the easier it is for them to be launched. If a player is sent into a blastzone, they lose a stock and are respawned back onto the stage. Winning criteria varies depending on the game mode, though typically the last player standing wins.
Rayman content
In November 2018, Rayman was added to Brawlhalla with patch 3.32. The character came with three skins to play as: Raymesis, Sir Rayelot, and Raydvar, a newly introduced member of Rayman's species who resembles Bödvar, another playable character from the game. Globox and Barbara were also introduced as skins for the characters Cassidy and Brynn, respectively. In addition to this, a Knockout Effect featuring Grunderbite, a Lum King sidekick, a Spellbound Tree podium, and a new taunt featuring the Photographer were added. According to the lore in the character selection screen, Rayman was sent out by Polokus to find the Horn of Lums needed to defeat Mr Dark who had returned. He then found the Grand Tournament of Valhalla which has the Horn of Lums as one the prizes, making him enter the competition without hesitation. It is unknown if Rayman ever retrieved the Horn of Lums.
In October 2021, a new skin for Rayman called Ray of the Dead was made available for purchase during the "Brawlhalloween" event.
In April 2022, it was revealed that patch 6.06 would include content like new emoji skins (a Rayman Wave emoji skin can be seen) and a B-ballin' Emote, in which characters play with a basket ball (in case of Rayman, he plays with his torso). In May 2022, to celebrate Street Fighter's 35th anniversary and the inclusion of new characters to the game, a trailer was presented which featured Rayman and Globox.[1]
