User:Elite Piranha/Rayman Iceberg Development
Development for my version of the Rayman Iceberg, based initially on the post made by Thalia and other iceberg images.
Work in progress...
Tip of the Iceberg
Rayman SNES
Full version of the SNES version of Rayman exists at Ubisoft.
Rayman 2-D
The original side-scroller version of Rayman 2.
Prototype Rabbids
The rabbids build before it became a party game. Many elements were recycled for the GBA version.
Lost episodes A full season of the animated series was produced but never aired/distributed.
The people of Phyrs
Mentioned on early Rayman 2 sites as Ly's people.
Huge features
According to a Rayman 3 ad, Rayman is very endowed.
Globox Family True Names Globox was originally named Globber. There's evidence many of his children are nicknamed.
John Leguizamo
Leguizamo played Luigi in the Super Mario Bros. movie (1993), and voiced Globox in Rayman 3. Glob Plumber is a stealth reference.
Below the surface
Eyes of Jano
Antitoons, creations of Jano, leave behind eyes when punched. Jano's cave has living eyeballs. Jano used eyes to make antitoons and other eye enemies.
The Raypeople What happened to Rayman's race? Were they turned into Teensies?
Space Mama and Mr Dark swapped levels Mama's weapon is a rolling pin. The pirates in Picture City use frying pans. They would be more at home in a food based world.
Bottom of the Iceberg
Rayman's Girlfriend
Rayman's girlfriend has been mentioned on various ways but never seen in game.
Colonial organisms Rayman's body parts have been shown to act with individual sentience.
Free Kaag's prisioners Kaag has 3 rare animals caged.
God's warrior Rayman was created for the sole purpose of hunting down the nightmares Jano created.
Jano created Mr Dark Relating to "Eyes of Jano" the most we see of Mr Dark are his eye and he has the same goals as Jano and he uses antitoons.
Recycled Robo-Pirate Tech The Magician recycled pirate tech to make Moody Clouds.
First Bad Dream Rayman is created to battle Jano.
Dark Water
La Cagoule
Hoodlums are based off Cagoulards, french terrorists.
Rabbids Dreamwalk Rabbids can travel from the Glade of Dreams to the Waking World.
Griskin Genocide The Great Palmito killed the entire Griskin Teensies tribe because they were too noisy. He trapped their spirits in a tower. Who is he?
Something wicked this way comes Mr Dark is named after the character of the same name, who runs a circus, this way explain why mr Dark is surrounded by clowns.
Other Gods Polokus put himself in deep sleep to create time with the other Gods. Who are they?
Anders Breivik
Mass murderer Anders Breivik complains in a letter about Rayman Revolution.[1]
Rayman is the Leptys
The Leptys can change size, fly and make a grimace. All abilities Rayman has/had.
Multiverse
Legends confirms alternate worlds. This may explain inconsistencies in lore/environment/characters.
Sex bomb
Offensive Globox Rumour Globox was excluded from the animated series out of fear a dumb french frog would offend France. The same year, Brock was replaced with Tracey out of similar converns.
Teensies are jews The Teensies are the direct descendants of God Polokus tasked with guarding the magic of the world. The jewish people has similar origin/function in the Kassalaw. Plus the big nose stereotyping.
USS Enterprise The USS Enterprise appears in the Teensie Highway. The highway may be connected to warp drives.
The guitar man In Rayman 2's Tomb of the Ancients, there is a secret room with a large man playing guitar. We can't see his face and its unknown who this is.
Razoff killed Sam
The Abyss
Jimmy
The earliest origin for Rayman says he's a kid named Jimmy who invented a virtual world, when the world is threatened by a virus, he goes into the world as Rayman to protect it.
Crippled Jimmy Plot for a scrapped Rayman game involved a kid whose arms and legs become crippled and he conects with Rayman for having no arms or legs. Rayman is in a boot camp for video game heroes and Dark Rayman acts as a malicious virus. A recyling of the Jimmy plot?
Shoedsackovskaia Family Count Razoff's grandmother is greek goddness Artemis.
The Muse of the Poets
Polokus married the Muse of the Poets, likely to be Thalia, the Muse of Comedy.
Azathoth
Lovecraft's Azathoth also dreamed up the universe and is destined to awaken.
Rayman/Artemis Artemis is the goddess of the Moon and Hunting, Rayman was created in a moonlight ritual to hunt bad dreams.
Polokus/Morpheus Morpheus is the god of dreams who takes many forms in his dreams. An early concept of Polokus for Origins was him taking several forms.
Glade of Dreams/Phantasos Phantasos is the God of the surreal dream who takes the form of landscapes/objects. This is why the Glade's geography changes between games.
The Leptys/Nyx Nyx is the God of Night. The Leptys is the Bringer of Night.
War of giants In the Blue Montains and Cave of Skops there are giant treasure hordes, sword, and shields lying about. Clark is the only giant seen in Rayman 2, and no gods are seen in the present.
Present day Rabbids can visit modern day real world, meaning the Glade of Dreams exists concurrently.
