When I tried this game I played around 60% of it and I gived up. I didn't like it, as the PC version had so many bugs...

Well I've heard good and bad things about it, but I would still like to play this game... They should've released a PS2 remake of it :D

Game remakes generally don't live up to the originals...a port would be preferable.

~It's still possible that they'll release a PS2 version. I'd say there's a 0.2% chance.

The original plot for Rayman 2 was that the pirates were selling their captives to an intergalactic circus. I think we've found a connection between all three things! :D Maybe the Animated Series is what would've happened if Rayman hadn't escaped from the prison ship.

Well, I've always thought it was canon anyways, Rayman Animated could be the prequel to Rayman 2. I was thinking that Rigatoni would've been arrested in the end (he was a wanted thug apparently said in the first episode, I added wanted) and Razorbeard hides away and takes Rayman with him (captured by him and Henchmen 1000). He must've been taken the first time when Rigatoni or Razorbeard saw/heard of his heroic capability and took him with brand new harder to beat villains - in this case, the proto-robo-pirates -(thus the energy balls Rayman used in the sequel instead of his fist). They ran into Rayman's country on the way to Aeropolis (the city in the animated series) and dropped by to see if there were any interesting characters.

To bridge the presumed animated ending into Rayman 2, Rayman was Razorbeard's first slave as Razorbeard would search the next country if he could find any new species to enslave/make money for him along with his newly built lackey who was building a new batch of Robo-Pirates. Rayman found a way to escape the ship through the vents and as he escaped, the ship hit something or started to shake for some reason and he fell off the ship and landed in the ocean by accident (he tried to helicopter but this time it could only last so long) and was found at the shore by the fishermen. Razorbeard found out he escaped and sent the new batch of Henchmen after him on the Glade as they wreaked havoc and enslaved the inhabitants of it. Rayman was on there for a little while and got to know almost everyone before the Henchmen landed on the Glade.
As for the creation of Razorbeard, maybe Rigatoni made him and gave him too much personality or something along the lines. Maybe he's like the hoodlum and he's wearing a suit to protect his body made by Rigatoni.

Um... That's like saying Jade is Rayman's cousin, they only said that because both Tonic Trouble and Rayman 2 were from the same engine and same developers, UbiSoft Montpellier. It was in the RaymanZone magazine if anybody want's to know where they got this idea.

Do you guys think we should add more Tonic Trouble stuff to the wiki (seperate pages for Ed, Suzy, The Pharmacist etc.), or should we keep all TT info on the same page?

At the moment I think it should all be on the same page, it's pretty easy enough to list them properly.

I'm not one of the "guys" you were talking to, but its RayWiki and technically, nothing about Tonic Trouble should be there at all.

Yeah and?

It's a heavily related game as far as cameos and limblessness goes, so that's why we even decided for the article to be there.

Tonic Trouble crosses over with Rayman several times.

He is, actually. He appears in the end credits and in the snow-sliding level, iirc.

Only got to play this recently. It's funny because having now played it I now see that Rayman 3 is extremely similar. Makes me wonder if the plans for Tonic 2, if there were any, got used for Rayman 3.

TT's more similar to R2 than R3. And I don't think it was ever really planned as franchise material... just a "test run" game if what I've heard is correct.

Does anyone have played the N64 version? People say that version has a lot of more quality than the PC version (which I tried and I didn't like it).

I've completed the N64 version and have never played the PC one. But the PC one has the Grolgoth salesman in the intro, so I don't think the N64 one could be better.
