Re: references in Rayman 3 - help
That's right, and as concerns Armageddon, I don't think that because a concept or a word originates in something, it is a reference to that something. All things have an origin, but a reference is something done on purpose.
Re: references in Rayman 3 - help
Is this statue a referene st Ignatios, when he looks up to heaven?
Do you believe Gumsi is a reference to Tutankamun, since both are child-kings?
Is the gladiator arena in "Desert of the kanareens", a reference to the coloseums in the roman empire?
Is the 2nd doctor a reference the the hippie-movement and the Beatles (with his hair)?

In the main menu of the beta disc of Rayman 3, the following text can be read:Hunchman801 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 7:27 pm That's right, and as concerns Armageddon, I don't think that because a concept or a word originates in something, it is a reference to that something.

Dangerous Game is a reference to the movie The most dangerous game (1934). However, another possiblity is that it could be a reference to the movie Dangerous game (1990) as well.
Special invaders is a reference to the game Space invaders (no idea why they called it that). Another possibility could be that it is a reference to the movie Spaced Invaders (1983; 1990).
Highland Drifters seems to be a reference the song The Highland Drifters by Stimela (no idea why they called it that), however another possibility is that it is a reference to the movie High Plains Drifters (1973).
I have no idea what Bad Sauce is a reference to (in-game it seems to be a reference to the witche´s chauldron, but still no idea why they called it that).
Re: references in Rayman 3 - help
André said that Reflux "is so big and strong". Is that a reference to when Little Red Riding Hood said that the Wolf "is so big and strong"?
Is the minigame "Mad Trax" a reference to the movie "Mad Max" (1979)?
Is the plum itself and the image of Livingstones, a reference to Rayman 1?
A hoodlum is a pun. It refers to (1) a criminal and (2) a lum with a hood. Does that count as a trivia?
Is the red lum´s model (in Rayman 3), a reference to Bohr´s atomic model, with the electron circulating around the nucleus?

Re: references in Rayman 3 - help
That's dubious at best.
Mad Trax is a video game of its own.
It is.
More than just trivia, though it's a pretty obvious one.
Not a reference though probably inspired by it. Remember what I said earlier, a reference is something a lot more specific.
Re: references in Rayman 3 - help
Is the video game "Max Trax" (1998) in-turn a reference to the movie "Mad Max"?
Rayman 3 -> Mad Trax (1998) -> Mad Max (1972)
It´s not neccesarily obvious about "hoodlum", if a person is not a native speaker.

Re: references in Rayman 3 - help
No idea, I have never played it.
It should probably be mentioned at the beginning of the RayWiki article, then.
Re: references in Rayman 3 - help
Does this count as a reference?
During the development of Rayman 3, the Armaguiddons were called “Taille-Facteurs”[2] (lit. "Mailman-Slicers” in French), in reference to the TIE fighters from Star Wars, according to the PS2 demo file (according to its wiki-page).
Do you mean at the very top of the article, or under the "trivia" section?
"Hoodlum Havoc" also has an alliteration using the h-word. Does that count as a trivia?

Yes, it's a reference.Rock_TBT wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 1:20 pm Does this count as a reference?

I was thinking about the very top, it's actually preferable to avoid trivia sections and integrate their content into the rest of the article whenever possible.
Yes, but it's too.. trivial to be mentioned on RayWiki.
