One area in particular, the Fairy Council, was alluded to in Rayman 2, and Count Razoff's father supposedly shot something as large as Space Mama; these allusions make Rayman 3's locations generally regarded as still being in the same canon as Rayman and especially Rayman 2.
Finally, Rayman 3 included many allusions to its two predecessors, including a statue of Ly the Fairy (who is oddly absent from the Fairy Council), a painting of Admiral Razorbeard and the Robo-Pirate Army, a reference to Space Mama, etc.
Okay I already know about the Ly and Razorbeard statues (it is not a painting, why does the article say that?) I have videos of those at YouTube but I've never heard of the Space Mama reference before. Does anyone know what the reference is in the game and where you can find it?
Here's the original text from the official Rayman 3 website:
Unique descendant de la lignée des Shoedsackovskaïa, le Comte Razoff s'est installé il y a bien longtemps dans les marais afin de perpétuer la tradition familiale. En effet, chaque membre doit ramener à l'âge adulte une proie extraordinaire. Malheureusement, Razoff n'a jamais trouvé de proie à la hauteur de celle de ses ancêtres : le légendaire Abominable Géranium des Mers de Cacatoès ou la Space Mama de la Cité des Images.
It translates into:
Only descendant of the Shoedsackovskaïa family, Count Razoff settled a long time ago in the swamps in order to perpetuate the familial tradition. In fact, each member must come back once adult with an extraordinary prey. Unfortunately, Razoff has never found a prey matching up to those of his ancestors: the legendary Abominable Geranium of the Seas of Cockatoo or the Space Mama of Picture City.
Razoff's father is Zaroff(an evil hunter from the short story The Most Dangerous Game).
Razoff's grandfather is the biblical Nimrod, who was described as "a mighty hunter before the Lord".
Razoff's grandmother is Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting.
That's all rather...confusing, in regards to his family and all...if we did a little research and combined all our info on Razoff, we'd probably come up with an earth-shattering revelation...but I'm tired...
I don't remember her being referenced in the game, but you should ask Dreyfus, he's the one who wrote that.

I wonder why. Has he had bad experiences here in the past?
Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation-but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For if you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs of Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
