'''Ly the [[Fairy]]''' is a character in the ''Rayman'' series that makes her debut in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remakes, followed by shorter appearances in the Gameboy Advance versions of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (GBA)|Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' and ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. Along with her fellow fairies, she is an emissary of [[Polokus]], and it is her job to provide information about him and the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Four Masks]] as well as using her magical powers to create [[Silver Lum]]s.

==Video game appearances==

===''Rayman 2''===
[[File:LyFairyGlade.jpg|thumb|Ly as she appears in ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''. She had just been released from her prison in the Fairy Glade.]]
Ly's story begins in Rayman's mind, when she tells him that the [[Robo-Pirates]] have broken the [[Heart of the World]] into 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s and that it has weakened her, before he gets captured. She is then consulted by [[Globox]], who she gives a Silver Lum to give to Rayman before they are both captured. While Globox is taken to the Buccaneer, Ly is held prisoner in an electrified forcefield in one of the pirate strongholds, deep in the [[Fairy Glade]]. The Silver Lum she created gives Rayman the ability to shoot balls of energy, and it is put to good use as he eventually finds her and destroys the machine that controlled the forcefield, freeing her. By then, she only has enough energy to create one Silver Lum, which upgrades Rayman's shooting ability to be used with Purple [[Lums]]. Before leaving to gather more energy, she passes her knowledge about Polokus and his four masks to him.

Later on, Ly makes more Silver Lums that make Rayman even more powerful, and by the time he reaches [[Razorbeard]] in the [[Crow's Nest]], she uses one to save him from falling into the vast body of lava, and using telepathy, encourages him to fight until the robot Admiral is defeated. When the battle is over, at first she was made to believe that Rayman did not survive the explosion high in the sky, until he turns up alive.

Additionally, Ly offers Rayman to join her in a race through the [[Walk of Life]] and [[the Walk of Power]], in which extra Yellow Lums are found, and offer him to have his health and power maximised. Despite it being a race, Ly does not have to be beaten.

===''[[Rayman Revolution]]''===
In ''Rayman Revolution'', it is revealed that Ly resides in a house built in a giant tree somewhere in the [[East Plain]], and it is there that she offers Rayman to play some mini games that top up his health and power, provided that he frees and brings to her enough [[Familiar Spirit]]s for each game. She also meditates from a stone in the area of [[Globox's House]], and a stele in [[Rainbow Creek]]. She is also a playable character in the unlockable mini game [[Missile Dogfight]].

===''Rayman 3 GBA''===
She plays the same role as Betilla in ''Rayman 1''. Oddly enough, Ly's sprite in this game shows that her tail is missing, and is now replaced a large ponytail at the back of her head, though in a cut-scene she still has her original tail and short hair. This look is continued in the GBA Rabbids game.

===''Rayman Raving Rabbids GBA''===
Ly makes some brief appearances in the Gameboy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, where she gives Rayman a costume medallion everytime he defeats a boss. While the game uses the same sprites as Rayman 3 for the GBA, she has a new appearance in the cut-scenes, where the front of her hair is curlier than before, she has pale blue lipstick, and her suit reveals her shoulders.

==Character Description==
[[Image:Ly the Fairy.jpg|thumb|Ly as she appears in ''Rayman Revolution''.]]
===Appearance===
While she is of a very thin build, Ly shares some typical fairy attributes, such as her long elven ears, her magical powers, and the ability to float in mid-air. Like [[Betilla the Fairy]], but unlike other fairies, she does not have wings. She has short purple hair and a long, bushy tail of the same colour, while having green eyes and lips. Contrary to popular belief, she is not naked, but wears a yellow suit with plum stripes and swirls all over. Because of her tail, it is speculated that she may have some animal - most likely feline - characteristics. Early concept artwork for ''Rayman 2'' that depicted her shows that she may have been originally an anthropomorphic cat, as she appeared to have cat ears and a non-human nose. In the Walks of Life and Power, she sometimes runs on all fours.

===Physical===
Ly shows great athletic and gymnastic skills, perhaps more so than Rayman's, as she can run faster and jump much higher than he can. In fact, she can cross very large gaps, such as on the river in the Walk of Power, while Rayman would have to use his [[Helicopter]]. However, it is possible for the player to outrun her in the Walk of Life, though in all versions of the game apart from ''Rayman Revolution'', she will simply teleport herself to the finishing point if she is too far behind. Despite being thin, she has enough strength to juggle with Rayman's body parts with ease, if she wanted to. She can also shoot energy spheres, like Rayman's, as a method of defence.

===Personality===
Akin to Betilla the Fairy, she is a calm and very meditative character, even in her captivity at the Fairy Glade, and spends most of her time meditating deep in the forest. Rayman says that the [[Woods of Light]] is one of her favourite places to be. When she is not meditating, she is a fun-loving and friendly character that puts a lot of faith and trust in the heroes of the world, and is willing to help Rayman defeat Razorbeard and the Robo-Pirate Army.

It is unknown if she is at all related to [[Tily the Fairy]], a much younger fairy that shares some of her features.

==Trivia==
[[Image:LyRRRgba.png|thumb|Ly as she appears in ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' for the GBA]]
*Ly was originally going to appear in ''[[Rayman M]]'', as several promotional pictures and even the back cover of the game showed, but was in the end replaced by [[Tily the Fairy]].
* There was a concept artwork for ''Rayman 3'' which may have depicted Ly with a totally different appearance. She had no tail, but instead had huge dragonfly-like wings, her hair and lips were now phthalo blue instead of purple, and she wore a new outfit of the same colour, as well as a pair of elbow length gloves, while also having blue dots over her face and arms. This design was dropped from the final game, though it can be found as a printable in the [[Rayman 3 Print Studio]].
* Ly likes to juggle - several ''Rayman 2'' images depicted her to have juggled with at least 3 red balls, and even Rayman's body parts.
* Ly's voice in ''Rayman 2/ DS'' is an echoing, girly voice. In Revolution, although Ly spoke English, you still hear the echoing voice in the background.
* She takes part of a music band in the credits of ''Rayman Revolution'', where she plays the banjo.
* In the Japanese version of ''Rayman 2'' for the Dreamcast and ''Rayman Revolution'', Ly's entire appearance had been changed to suit the preferences of the Japanese market. Her eyes were rounder, her pupils were bigger and a lighter shade of green in colour, she was given thin eyebrows the same colour as her hair, and instead of green lips, they were now pink. Her clothes also became purple and white. She is known as "Rai" (ﾗｲ) in all Japanese versions of the game.

===Cameos===
*'''''[[Rayman M]]'':''' In [[Ly's Palace]], an ice sculpture of Ly is found the centre of the room.
*'''''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'':''' In a stage in the [[The Longest Shortcut|Longest Shortcut]], another statue of Ly is hidden behind a painting.

''"Rayman 2" redirects here. For other uses, see [[Rayman 2 (disambiguation)]].''

'''''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''''' is the second major game in the ''Rayman'' series, and is the sequel to ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. It was first released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and was followed by ports for the Sega Dreamcast, PC, and Sony PlayStation, with each port being different in its own way perhaps due to the specifications of each console. It was also the first 3D game of the series, and introduced many brand new major characters, though featured almost none from its predecessor. ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' is often abbreviated as '''''Rayman 2''''' or (to avoid confusion with the similarly named ''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'') '''''R2'''''.

==Early production==
Very recently, it was revealed that ''Rayman 2'' was first developed to be a 2D platforming game in the same vein as ''Rayman'', for the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn [http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/11/rayman2-2d-cancelled/]. Screenshots and videos suggested that the game was still going to be about a robot invasion as it featured enemies similar to the Robo-Pirates, and it also featured background platforming - using a device similar to a shower head and a toilet flush, Rayman could teleport from the foreground to the background. One video in particular also featured a female character with red hair that appears to be [[Betilla the Fairy]], but could also be [[Betina]] in a cameo.

The whole of this game was cancelled in favour of the 3D version it became, though a playable prototype (version 01.12d) featuring one level is included in the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'', and unlocked if the player collects at least 720 Yellow Lums out of 800. It was recently discovered that this prototype was finished on May 31st 1996 and was sent to the ''Playstation RayMan 2 team'' for review.

==Gameplay==
The gameplay in ''Rayman 2'' is somewhat similar to that of ''Rayman'', though this time Rayman starts with a few powers to defend himself, one of which is given to him by [[Globox]] who is introduced at the very beginning. The aim of the game is to rescue all of the [[Yellow Lum]]s that have been scattered following the explosion of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]], and the creatures that have been imprisoned in [[cage]]s, while defeating any [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirate]]s that stand in Rayman's way.

==Main Characters==
===The Good Guys===
*[[Rayman]] - The hero and protagonist of the game
*[[Globox]] - Rayman's best friend and Uglette's husband
*[[Ly the Fairy]] - Rayman's friend and powerful ally
*[[Murfy]] - Serves as an "instructor"-type character
*[[Teensie|The Teensies]] - Keepers of [[the Hall of Doors]]
*[[Clark]] - A friend of Rayman's

===The Bad Guys===
*[[Admiral Razorbeard]] - The villain of the game
*[[Robo-Pirate Army]] - Razorbeard's army

==Environment==
Unlike ''Rayman'', ''Rayman 2'' is not divided into certain themed worlds, but rather a trail of 20 different locations, none of which are as surreal as its predecessor's, but are still dissimilar to the real world. The levels are played in a linear fashion in a World Map known as [[the Hall of Doors]] ([[The Isle of Doors|Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast version), with most levels following a single path (though [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], [[The Walk of Life|Walk of Life]], and [[The Walk of Power|Walk of Power]] are on side-paths). The player is able to backtrack to past levels if he or she wishes, and can move on to the final stage without breaking all of the cages.

==Levels==
===PC, N64 and Dreamcast version===
* [[The Woods of Light]]
* [[The Fairy Glade]]
* [[The Marshes of Awakening]]
* [[The Bayou]]
* [[The Walk of Life]] (sublevel)
* [[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice]]
* [[The Menhir Hills]]
* [[The Cave of Bad Dreams]] (sublevel)
* [[The Canopy]]
* [[Whale Bay]]
* [[The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]
* [[The Echoing Caves]]
* [[The Precipice]]
* [[The Top of the World]]
* [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]
* [[The Walk of Power]] (sublevel)
* [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]
* [[The Tomb of the Ancients]]
* [[The Iron Mountains]]
* [[The Prison Ship]]
* [[The Crow's Nest]]

==Hack==
It is possible to run the game under higher resolutions than 1024x768 by a simple hack.
By editing the file '''C:\WINDOWS\UbiSoft\ubi.in''' with a basic text editor, you'll have something like this
<pre>
[SYSTEM]
Test Sound=1
3DFX=0
Memory=511
MMX=1
Windows colors=34
CPU=9

[INSTALLED PRODUCTS]

The '''GLI_Mode''' line defines the resolution of the game. You'll just have to replace "1024 x 768" by "1440 x 900" to run the game in 1440x900 instead of the default 1024x768.

'''Caution: Modifying the other values may crash the game.'''

==Promotion==
UbiSoft promoted ''Rayman 2'' with many toys and even a cartoon. There were YoYos, cell phone covers, a PlayStation 2 remote, a version of the game with a figure, and Happy Meal toys.

===Cartoon===
''Main Article: [[Rayman: The Animated Series]]''

===McDonald's===
UbiSoft joined with McDonald's to make a happy meal with Rayman toys. These toys were a Rayman rolling on a walking shell, Rayman on a plum with spinning helicopter hair, a lighting up cage, a sound making Henchman 800, a wobbling Globox and Ly.

===[[Tonic Trouble]]===
Characters from each game made cameo appearances in the other game. In ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', Rayman would be seen during the game's end credits. In Rayman 2, [[General|a salesman]] who previously appeared in the intro sequence of the PC version of [[Tonic Trouble]] sells the [[Grolgoth]] to [[Razorbeard]] late in the game. [[Tonic Trouble]] was worked on (though not developed) by [[Michel Ancel]], used the Rayman 2 engine, originally appeared on the same platforms as Rayman 2, and was also released by Ubisoft, giving reason for the crossovers, though Tonic Trouble had not fared well critically or commercially, whereas ''Rayman 2'' became successful in both areas.

==Remakes==
*''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' - PlayStation 2 remake that was essentially a slightly more difficult version of the original, with added levels, enemies, and a new free-roaming feature.
*''[[Rayman DS]]'' - DS remake identical to the original N64 version, though many glitches and bugs were included that were not present in the original.

==Trivia==
* In the German gaming magazine PC Player (issue 01/2000) Rayman 2: The Great Escape was named as "Best Platformer in 1999".

* The PSX release of Rayman 2 originally came with a digital watch.

* In Japan, some characters with purple in them were changed. Rayman's body was made blue, Sssssam the snake turned into a kind of green, and Jano's hat was turned red. But the most bizarre change was made to Ly, who's body was changed from yellow/purple to white/pink.

* The names of a few characters changed during design of the game.

The original name of Globox was Globber.
The original name of Razorbeard was Razorface.
The original name of the Teensies was Smalbeings.
The original name of Polokus was Polochus.
And the robo-pirates were originally named the Mysterious Guild.
