Most of us think that:

It is ridiculous though, Globox is one thing and it's slightly more plausible, but Rayman's hair is a no no.

I think there's a reason why we need a power-up in Rayman 3 to FLY.

Rayman, from what I understand and assume his probable age, when young he can't get off the ground without the help of a power orb.
In rayman 2 is the same principle, but at this age he's close to hit adolescence. He still requires assistance of a flight boost until adulthood.

After he defeated Admiral Razorbeard, Razor then set the Grolgoth to self-destruct, blowing the Buccaneer to pieces.
Now, being someone who watches nightmare fuel videos about the Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant disaster late at night, I think that our limbless boy might have suffered from exposure to the explosion.

Rayman is a pre-adolescent in R3, but his flight is heavily limited due to the Exposure. Look at the tips, his hair looks frayed. And given that he and the Glade's inhabitants can sleep for 300 years, his hair might recover in 50.000 years or less. Which is eternal compared to a human.

So you mean that his ultimate destiny is to have unlimited flight? Interesting theory.
Maybe that's why there haven't been any more games, it'd be tough to design around that for every single level.

Not exactly.
He would have been granted that ability if only he wasn't exposed to the radiation. My latest theory is based on my observation.
