RayGamer99: The "distribution media" section is probably unnecessary now that it's available physically and digitally, right?

'''''Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition''''' is a compilation and remaster of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], developed by Digital Eclipse in collaboration with [[Ubisoft]] and published by [[Ubisoft]] in partnership with Atari to commemorate the [[Rayman (series)#30th anniversary|series's 30th anniversary]]. Its digital edition was released on February 13 2026, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and Ubisoft Connect, and a physical version containing postcards, stickers and a poster was released in June 2026.

==Announcement==
The title was first leaked through a rating that appeared on the Australian Classification Board on 22 January 2026.<ref>Nintendo Life, ''Surprise! Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated'', https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/01/surprise-rayman-30th-anniversary-edition-has-been-rated</ref> Additional details listed Atari as the developer and publisher, and UI Entertainment as the applicant.

Before the official announcement, [[Michel Ancel]] hinted at the project in an interview, noting that it would feature changes intended to make the game less frustrating than the original.<ref>''Retro Gamer'', issue 282 (February 2026), ''The evolution of Rayman'', « Even though it's complex, I think there's a kind of remake planned. I don't remember when specifically, but it will be in HD and I think Ubisoft is adding a few more checkpoints and things like that just to make it a bit less frustrating. »</ref>

The game was officially announced during Sony's State of Play on 12 February 2026, confirming the involvement of Digital Eclipse, a studio known for its archival compilations and purchased by Atari in 2023.

==Content==
The compilation includes five emulated versions of the original game:
* ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' (original PlayStation version, 1995)
* ''[[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Rayman]]'' (Atari Jaguar version, 1995)
* ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' (MS-DOS version, 1995)
* ''[[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Rayman]]'' (Game Boy Color version, 2000)
* ''[[Rayman Advance]]'' (Game Boy Advance version, 2001)

For the first time officially, the collection also includes the unreleased [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)|Super Nintendo prototype]] version of the game from 1992.

===Additional levels===
The collection includes the expansion packs originally released for the PC version of the game:
* 24 levels from ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', referred to in-game as "Rayman's New Levels."
* 40 levels from ''[[Rayman By His Fans]]''.
* 60 levels from ''[[Rayman 60 Levels]]''.

==Changes from the original games==
The collection features two modes from the main menu - the first being the history section and the second being the games. Each game uses a specifically configured emulator to run it from the original ROM. The following emulators are used:
* ''Pancake'' for the [[Rayman 1#Sony PlayStation|PlayStation version]]. This version also uses a statically re-compiled version of the game, with various patches applied for the new widescreen support.
* ''BigPEmu'' for the [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar version]].
* ''DREAMM'' for the [[Rayman 1#PC (DOS/Windows)|MS-DOS version]].
* ''sameboy'' for the [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]].
* ''mGBA'' for the [[Rayman Advance|Game Boy Advance version]].
* ''Mednafen (snes_faust)'' for the [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)|Super Nintendo prototype]].

===History section===
Accessible from the main menu is an interactive history section featuring over 50 minutes of interviews with the original developers, a gallery of concept art and the previously unreleased ''[[The Bible of Game Design|Bible of Game Design]]''.

===Soundtrack===
{{Main|Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition (Original Game Soundtrack)}}

The game features a new soundtrack by [[Christophe Héral]], the composer for the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' games. More specifically, all versions except the [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color]] one, which uses the soundtrack from the Chromatic re-release, feature faithful arrangements of the music that [[Rémi Gazel]] composed for the original game, while the rest of the original soundtrack is entirely replaced with new music.

The game's soundtrack was released as an album titled ''[[Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition (Original Game Soundtrack)]]'' on May 7 2026.

===Enhancements===
The game includes a 60-second rewind feature and 3 save slots per game, acting as save-states. Additionally, a menu allows players to toggle several cheats, though activating some of them disables achievements:
* Infinite [[Life|lives]]
* Maximum health points
* Infinite [[continue]]s
* Unlock all levels
* Unlock all abilities

===Other changes===
* The [[Rayman 1#Sony PlayStation|PlayStation version]] has a native widescreen option, extending the horizontal viewing area of the game.
* The intro in the [[Rayman 1#Sony PlayStation|PlayStation version]] no longer has [[Rayman]] say "No problem" at the end.
* The two levels "The enchanted forest" and "High flyer" in ''[[Rayman By His Fans]]'' can no longer be accessed. Attempting to enter them shows the message "Level not available". This is due to an oversight in the usage of the [[gendoor]]s in the levels causing the game to crash if a checkpoint is taken twice.
* The [[Ray Breakout]] minigame can now be accessed from a single button press in the [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar version]].

===Missing features===
* The [[Rayman 1#Sony PlayStation|PlayStation]] and [[Rayman 1#PC (DOS/Windows)|MS-DOS]] versions can only be played in English, even though the original releases had additional languages supported. For the other versions, the in-game language selections still function the same as before.
* The option to have parallax scrolling enabled for the backgrounds in the [[Rayman 1#PC (DOS/Windows)|MS-DOS version]] is no longer accessible, making it be forced to be turned off.
* The [[Ubi Key]] cannot be used in the [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], making the [[Ubi Cliff]] bonus level inaccessible.
* The intro and outro videos are missing from the [[Rayman 1#PC (DOS/Windows)|MS-DOS version]].
* The [[Ray Breakout]] minigame can not be accessed in the [[Rayman 1#PC (DOS/Windows)|MS-DOS version]].

===Bugs===
* When playing the [[Rayman 1#Sony PlayStation|PlayStation version]] in widescreen, there are some cases of sprites getting cut off, especially for the in-level effects such as the snow. The demos that play when waiting on the title screen are also out of sync in widescreen, causing them to not play correctly.
* The screen transitions do not play when changing levels in the [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar version]].

===Unused content===
* There are unused, incomplete, localized subtitles for the [[Rayman 1#Sony PlayStation|PlayStation]] intro.
* Unused text mentions an enhancement named "Electoon Guide".
* There are three unused achievements in the MS-DOS version:
** "Take a picture at each [[The Photographer|photobooth]]"
** "Make a funny face at a [[Livingstone|lividstone]] to scare him"
** "Achieve X mini games of [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the magician]]"
* An unused ROM for the [[Rayman (early production)#Atari Jaguar early prototype|Atari Jaguar prototype]] exists in the game's data.

==Reception==
''Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition'' received "mixed or average" reviews, according to the review aggregator website Metacritic. Push Square rated the game 6/10, praising the gameplay "holding up well after all these years" and the inclusion of additional levels, but criticizing the soundtrack "cutting out entirely, leaving large silences" and stating that the different ports "feel almost identical", opining that the anniversary package should have included other [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]]. Similar remarks were issued by Nintendo Life, who gave the game a score of 7/10, outlining the game's value to a "super fan of the original game", noting the absence of the original soundtrack and stating that it "would have been nice to at least have had ''[[Rayman 2]]'' included".<ref>Metacritic, ''Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Reviews'', https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-30th-anniversary-edition/</ref>

Upon launch, the ''30th Anniversary Edition'' received mixed reviews on Steam, with more than half of the reviews being negative. Users complained about the new soundtrack not being faithful to the game, with no option to switch to the original soundtrack, as well as the forced DRM via Ubisoft Connect.<ref>Steam, ''Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition'', https://store.steampowered.com/app/4094670/Rayman_30th_Anniversary_Edition/</ref> A [[Ubisoft]] employee later stated on the official [[Ubisoft]] Discord server that the team will "look into" the ability to swap to the original soundtrack. After a saved game bug was discovered, one [[Ubisoft]] support representative falsely reported the end of the game's support after less than two days of its release; this was later debunked by another employee.{{Citation needed}}

==Physical version==
A physical version containing postcards, stickers and a poster was released in June 2026.

'''Grand Minimus''' is a name associated with the ruler of the [[Teensie]]s. The term can either refer to a tribe of [[Teensie]] kings, a title given to one specific Teensie king, or a proper name for an individual Teensie. They first appear in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' to oversee [[the Hall of Doors]], [[the Isle of Doors]] or the [[Teensie Circle]]s in different versions of the game. They are playable characters in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Kart]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and [[Rayman Legends Retold|its remake]], ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''.

==Description==
The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the sole king of the [[Teensie]]s, a concept that later games such as ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' return to. However, after [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] locked the Grand Minimus up in a small [[cage]] with three other [[Teensie]]s presumably of relation to the King (such as friends, advisors, relatives, etc.; their relation is never given) in [[the Woods of Light]], the [[Teensie]]s eventually came to forget which one of them was the King. In fact, not even the King himself could remember.

All of the Minimus wear refined green robes, and at least one has a tall crown on his head. As seen in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Grand Minimus have a talkative personality and enjoy gossiping about recent news. Also, it is seen in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that the Minimus have a taste for disco, and enjoy the company of a disco ball and many other disco-loving subjects in their chamber, dancing day and night.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', it is soon confirmed that the Grand Minimus are the guardians of [[the Hall of Doors]], assigned by [[Polokus]] himself after being created for that purpose. They are wise and powerful, though they seldom show it. Similar to [[Ly]] the Fairy, at least one member of the Grand Minimus is capable of creating [[Silver Lum]]s. One is used by the Grand Minimus in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', while a second is additionally used in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. As may be seen in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Grand Minimus also have the responsibility of guarding the [[Heart of the World]], which resides in their throne room.

==In ''Rayman 2''==
{{Quote|text=Splendid, [[Rayman]]! I'm King of the [[Teensie]]s. I congratulate you on your courage.|sign=Grand Minimus|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

[[File:GrandMinimus R2Model.png|thumb|right|120px|A Grand Minimus, as appearing in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.]]

The Grand Minimus make their debut appearance in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', when [[Rayman]] destroys the cage at the end of [[the Woods of Light]]. [[Rayman]] hopes to ask them as to the whereabouts of [[Ly]] the Fairy, but is unsuccessful as the Minimus is distracted by the fact that they are unable to agree on who the real king is. After repeatedly grabbing the single crown from each other's head and declaring to be king, [[Rayman]] gets frustrated and interrupts their clammor. Intimidated and worrisome as to [[Ly]]'s bad news, the Teensies hush immediately and hesitantly back away. The last Teensie standing forward is quickly handed the crown.

The king then gives [[Rayman]] the bad news about [[Ly]], but explains that [[Ly]] is being held nearby in [[the Fairy Glade]]. If [[Rayman]] has already collected five [[Yellow Lum]]s, he will have collected enough energy to revitalize the king's magic powers. However, if [[Rayman]] is missing just one [[Yellow Lum|Lum]], the king will send [[Rayman]] back to get the rest.

Magic restored, the king gives [[Rayman]] a good-bye speech before creating a [[Silver Lum]]. The [[Silver Lum]] drops down into a nearby abyss and explodes into a giant [[Spiral Door]]. [[Rayman]] leaps into the door and leaves the Teensies.

[[Rayman]] next encounters the Grand Minimus as he enters [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] level (between [[the Fairy Glade]] and [[the Marshes of Awakening]] in the PlayStation version). By now, the Grand Minimus have done some thinking, and have decided that all four would share being king. Standing in a line, each king would say a few sentences before walking to the end of the line as the next Teensie takes the crown and then takes his turn being king. Considering [[Rayman]] has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, the Grand Minimus open the doors to [[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]] ([[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]] in the PlayStation version). This sequence occurs again before [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] (PlayStation - after [[Whale Bay]]) and [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] (PlayStation - after [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] and after [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]).

In the PlayStation version, their dialogue is expanded and they give [[Rayman]] information on each upcoming Guardian of the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Masks]], as well as the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]' [[Robot Dinosaur]] in their final scene.

In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]], Grand Minimus are freed from [[cage]]s throughout the game.

One of the Grand Minimus is last seen in the final scene following [[the Crow's Nest]].

==In ''Rayman Revolution''==
[[File:TheMagicWell-RR-TheMinissaurusPlain.jpg|320px|thumb|right|A Grand Minimus by a [[Magic Well]].]]

The Grand Minimus plays a slightly different role in the PlayStation 2 remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. Following acquisition of the crown, the king explains that both [[Globox]] and [[Ly]] the Fairy were captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]] army. The Grand Minimus hasn't the slightest clue where [[Globox]] is, but believe that the [[Teensie]] at [[the Minisaurus Plain]]'s [[Teensie Circle]] knows where [[Ly]] was taken. Considering [[Rayman]] has five [[Yellow Lum]]s collected, the king produces what appears to be a [[Silver Lum]] and sends it towards [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] then excitedly learns the [[magic fist]] ability. The king hops onto a pedestal and produces a second [[Silver Lum]], which drops into a nearby void. The [[Silver Lum|Lum]] explodes and turns into a [[Spiral Door]]. After giving a farewell speech, the Grand Minimus sends [[Rayman]] off to [[the Front]].

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', three Grand Minimus attend to the three [[Teensie Circle]]s, and another three attend to the three [[Magic Well]]s. The one who attends to [[Teensie Circle|the Circle]] in [[Rainbow Creek]] is referred to as the “King of the Teensies” by the in-game instructions which appear when the player presses the Select button on the PlayStation 2 controller.

==In ''Rayman M'' and ''Rayman Arena''==
{{Quote|text=While these decrepit beings are senile to the point of having forgotten who is leader, they get along just fine when it comes to taking action and winning by whatever means necessary.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman M]]''}}

Two Grand Minimus participate in the races and battles of ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' as one of the five initial playable characters. Being that Teensies are considerably short, the two Teensies race by carrying one on top of the other. The manual for the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', the North American localisation of ''[[Rayman M]]'', offers the following description of the Grand Minimus:

<blockquote>'''Profession:''' Part-Time Kings. 
'''Likes:''' Acrobatics, occupying the throne, and important speeches to the masses. 
'''Dislikes:''' Not occupying the throne, coming in second, and each other's opposing ideas. 
'''Address:''' They've forgotten.</blockquote>

[[File:GrandMinimus R3Model.png|thumb|right|120px|A Grand Minimus, as appearing in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.]]

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Grand Minimus make an appearance at the end of [[the Fairy Council]]. [[Rayman]] chases [[André]] and eventually arrives at their throne room, only to find it full of dancing [[Teensie]]s and flashing disco lights. At the other end of the room, the Grand Minimus have [[Globox]] in their clutches. As [[Rayman]] approaches them, the Grand Minimus tell him that [[Globox]] cannot stay in the throne room for fear that [[André]] could escape. To save [[Globox]], the Grand Minimus open a portal to the [[Teensie Highway]] and explain to [[Rayman]] that he must take [[Globox]] to the [[Teensie doctor]] in [[Clearleaf Forest]], [[Otto Psi]]. ''[[Rayman 3]]'' was the first game to give the sovereign [[Teensie]]s the name “Grand Minimus”.

Later in the game, they also appear in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], where a king and two advisors warn [[Rayman]] about the [[Knaaren]], and in the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]]. In both levels, a king and two advisors drop down from any [[cage]] that [[Rayman]] destroys, leaving either [[Jewel|gems]] or a [[Laser-Washing Powder]] can.

The Grand Minimus makes a cameo appearance in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. Like several other recurring characters, he is seen briefly at the beginning of the game, when [[Rayman]] frees him from the [[Agony Jails]], where he has been imprisoned by the [[Rabbid]]s.

{{Quote|text=Oh, Grand Minimus! Keeper King of the [[Teensie|Teensy]] kinder... how's it tickling?!|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

The Grand Minimus is a major character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He makes his first appearance during the cinematic introduction of the game, taking a nap with his friends [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], the [[Goth Teensy]] and the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], and making grumbling noises while sleeping on [[Globox]]'s back. The noises of the group annoy their neighbours, the [[Livid Dead]], and they lock them in [[cage]]s at [[the Snoring Tree]]. Weirdly, after that the Grand Minimus is not seen, and is replaced by a regular [[Green Teensy]], becoming an unlockable character who is unlocked once 70 [[Electoon]]s have been collected.

An undead [[Teensie]] with a gnawed crown, [[the First King]], also makes an appearance. The [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] identifies him as the first Grand Minimus.

The '''Grand Minimus''' are a tribe of [[Teensie]]s who first appear in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. They are the kings of the [[Teensie]] race, and oversee [[the Hall of Doors]], [[the Isle of Doors]] or the [[Teensie Circle]]s, depending on the version of the game. They are playable characters in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Kart]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and [[Rayman Legends Retold|its remake]], ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''.

==Description==
The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the sole king of the [[Teensie]]s. However, after [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] locked the Grand Minimus up in a small [[cage]] with three other [[Teensie]]s presumably of relation to the King (such as friends, advisors, relatives, etc.; their relation is never given) in [[the Woods of Light]], the [[Teensie]]s eventually came to forget which one of them was the King. In fact, not even the King himself could remember.

All of the Minimus wear refined green robes, and at least one has a tall crown on his head. As seen in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Grand Minimus have a talkative personality and enjoy gossiping about recent news. Also, it is seen in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that the Minimus have a taste for disco, and enjoy the company of a disco ball and many other disco-loving subjects in their chamber, dancing day and night.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', it is soon confirmed that the Grand Minimus are the guardians of [[the Hall of Doors]], assigned by [[Polokus]] himself after being created for that purpose. They are wise and powerful, though they seldom show it. Similar to [[Ly]] the Fairy, at least one member of the Grand Minimus is capable of creating [[Silver Lum]]s. One is used by the Grand Minimus in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', while a second is additionally used in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. As may be seen in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Grand Minimus also have the responsibility of guarding the [[Heart of the World]], which resides in their throne room.

==In ''Rayman 2''==
{{Quote|text=Splendid, [[Rayman]]! I'm King of the [[Teensie]]s. I congratulate you on your courage.|sign=Grand Minimus|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

[[File:GrandMinimus R2Model.png|thumb|right|120px|A Grand Minimus, as appearing in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.]]

The Grand Minimus make their debut appearance in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', when [[Rayman]] destroys the cage at the end of [[the Woods of Light]]. [[Rayman]] hopes to ask them as to the whereabouts of [[Ly]] the Fairy, but is unsuccessful as the Minimus is distracted by the fact that they are unable to agree on who the real king is. After repeatedly grabbing the single crown from each other's head and declaring to be king, [[Rayman]] gets frustrated and interrupts their clammor. Intimidated and worrisome as to [[Ly]]'s bad news, the Teensies hush immediately and hesitantly back away. The last Teensie standing forward is quickly handed the crown.

The king then gives [[Rayman]] the bad news about [[Ly]], but explains that [[Ly]] is being held nearby in [[the Fairy Glade]]. If [[Rayman]] has already collected five [[Yellow Lum]]s, he will have collected enough energy to revitalize the king's magic powers. However, if [[Rayman]] is missing just one [[Yellow Lum|Lum]], the king will send [[Rayman]] back to get the rest.

Magic restored, the king gives [[Rayman]] a good-bye speech before creating a [[Silver Lum]]. The [[Silver Lum]] drops down into a nearby abyss and explodes into a giant [[Spiral Door]]. [[Rayman]] leaps into the door and leaves the Teensies.

[[Rayman]] next encounters the Grand Minimus as he enters [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] level (between [[the Fairy Glade]] and [[the Marshes of Awakening]] in the PlayStation version). By now, the Grand Minimus have done some thinking, and have decided that all four would share being king. Standing in a line, each king would say a few sentences before walking to the end of the line as the next Teensie takes the crown and then takes his turn being king. Considering [[Rayman]] has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, the Grand Minimus open the doors to [[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]] ([[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]] in the PlayStation version). This sequence occurs again before [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] (PlayStation - after [[Whale Bay]]) and [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] (PlayStation - after [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] and after [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]).

In the PlayStation version, their dialogue is expanded and they give [[Rayman]] information on each upcoming Guardian of the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Masks]], as well as the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]' [[Robot Dinosaur]] in their final scene.

In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]], Grand Minimus are freed from [[cage]]s throughout the game.

One of the Grand Minimus is last seen in the final scene following [[the Crow's Nest]].

==In ''Rayman Revolution''==
[[File:TheMagicWell-RR-TheMinissaurusPlain.jpg|320px|thumb|right|A Grand Minimus by a [[Magic Well]].]]

The Grand Minimus plays a slightly different role in the PlayStation 2 remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. Following acquisition of the crown, the king explains that both [[Globox]] and [[Ly]] the Fairy were captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]] army. The Grand Minimus hasn't the slightest clue where [[Globox]] is, but believe that the [[Teensie]] at [[the Minisaurus Plain]]'s [[Teensie Circle]] knows where [[Ly]] was taken. Considering [[Rayman]] has five [[Yellow Lum]]s collected, the king produces what appears to be a [[Silver Lum]] and sends it towards [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] then excitedly learns the [[magic fist]] ability. The king hops onto a pedestal and produces a second [[Silver Lum]], which drops into a nearby void. The [[Silver Lum|Lum]] explodes and turns into a [[Spiral Door]]. After giving a farewell speech, the Grand Minimus sends [[Rayman]] off to [[the Front]].

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', three Grand Minimus attend to the three [[Teensie Circle]]s, and another three attend to the three [[Magic Well]]s. The one who attends to [[Teensie Circle|the Circle]] in [[Rainbow Creek]] is referred to as the “King of the Teensies” by the in-game instructions which appear when the player presses the Select button on the PlayStation 2 controller.

==In ''Rayman M'' and ''Rayman Arena''==
{{Quote|text=While these decrepit beings are senile to the point of having forgotten who is leader, they get along just fine when it comes to taking action and winning by whatever means necessary.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman M]]''}}

Two Grand Minimus participate in the races and battles of ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' as one of the five initial playable characters. Being that Teensies are considerably short, the two Teensies race by carrying one on top of the other. The manual for the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', the North American localisation of ''[[Rayman M]]'', offers the following description of the Grand Minimus:

<blockquote>'''Profession:''' Part-Time Kings. 
'''Likes:''' Acrobatics, occupying the throne, and important speeches to the masses. 
'''Dislikes:''' Not occupying the throne, coming in second, and each other's opposing ideas. 
'''Address:''' They've forgotten.</blockquote>

[[File:GrandMinimus R3Model.png|thumb|right|120px|A Grand Minimus, as appearing in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.]]

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Grand Minimus make an appearance at the end of [[the Fairy Council]]. [[Rayman]] chases [[André]] and eventually arrives at their throne room, only to find it full of dancing [[Teensie]]s and flashing disco lights. At the other end of the room, the Grand Minimus have [[Globox]] in their clutches. As [[Rayman]] approaches them, the Grand Minimus tell him that [[Globox]] cannot stay in the throne room for fear that [[André]] could escape. To save [[Globox]], the Grand Minimus open a portal to the [[Teensie Highway]] and explain to [[Rayman]] that he must take [[Globox]] to the [[Teensie doctor]] in [[Clearleaf Forest]], [[Otto Psi]]. ''[[Rayman 3]]'' was the first game to give the sovereign [[Teensie]]s the name “Grand Minimus”.

Later in the game, they also appear in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], where a king and two advisors warn [[Rayman]] about the [[Knaaren]], and in the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]]. In both levels, a king and two advisors drop down from any [[cage]] that [[Rayman]] destroys, leaving either [[Jewel|gems]] or a [[Laser-Washing Powder]] can.

The Grand Minimus makes a cameo appearance in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. Like several other recurring characters, he is seen briefly at the beginning of the game, when [[Rayman]] frees him from the [[Agony Jails]], where he has been imprisoned by the [[Rabbid]]s.

{{Quote|text=Oh, Grand Minimus! Keeper King of the [[Teensie|Teensy]] kinder... how's it tickling?!|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

The Grand Minimus is a major character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He makes his first appearance during the cinematic introduction of the game, taking a nap with his friends [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], the [[Goth Teensy]] and the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], and making grumbling noises while sleeping on [[Globox]]'s back. The noises of the group annoy their neighbours, the [[Livid Dead]], and they lock them in [[cage]]s at [[the Snoring Tree]]. Weirdly, after that the Grand Minimus is not seen, and is replaced by a regular [[Green Teensy]], becoming an unlockable character who is unlocked once 70 [[Electoon]]s have been collected.

An undead [[Teensie]] with a gnawed crown, [[the First King]], also makes an appearance. The [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] identifies him as the first Grand Minimus.

'''Globox''' is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], second only to [[Rayman]] himself in his prominence. Globox acts as a major ally in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and is a playable character in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and [[Rayman Legends Retold|its remake]], ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. He is [[Rayman]]'s best friend and has been since before the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

==Description==
===Appearance===
Globox resembles a large, fat amphibian, who is blue-green in colour, with a pale yellow belly and hands. While the rest of his body is fat and heavy, he has long thin arms. His webbed feet and small eyes float separately from his body. He is noticeably taller than most of the inhabitants of the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]], with the exception of such characters as [[Ly]] the Fairy and [[Clark]] the Giant. Globox has an extremely large mouth with a long purple tongue, he often uses it to store things such as [[Silver Lum]]s, and, accidentally, [[André]]. [[Baby Globox|His children]] have the same ability, as was shown late in the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]''; one of his sons swallowed [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth Mask of Polokus]] after finding it in [[the Iron Mountains]] ([[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''), then he gave the mask to [[Rayman]], once the latter had freed him and his siblings from the [[Spyglass Pirate]]'s [[Robot Dinosaur]].

In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Globox's appearance was changed to suit the preferences of the Japanese market.<ref>Ubi Soft Divertissements inc. (via archive.org), ''Dossier spécial - La localisation chez Ubi Soft !'', https://web.archive.org/web/20010217082924/http://ubisoft.qc.ca/presse/presentations/localisation_p4.htm</ref> He is scaleless and his mouth is completely pink.

Globox used to be red, but one day while he was eating berries, he mistook a [[blue mosquito]] for a berry, and ate it. From inside Globox's belly, the insect called for help, and hundreds of other [[blue mosquito]]es came to sting Globox. When they left him, Globox's red skin was covered in painful blue welts. These eventually seeped into his skin, turning it blue.

In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', along with [[Rayman]] and [[Barbara]], Globox sports a new adventurer outfit. He wears a sleeveless green coat over a buttoned white shirt, with the top unbuttoned. He also wears a small brown satchel, gray pants held up by a brown belt with a gold buckle, and brown shoes.

===Abilities===
Physically, Globox is quite strong, and provided that he has the confidence too (under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''), he can inflict a strong blow on enemies, namely [[Hoodlum]]s. Unfortunately, he is allergic to [[plum juice]]; when [[André]] was inside his stomach, he would force Globox to drink some, then it would have various effects on Globox, such as getting drunk, and burping out giant bouncy bubbles. While under the influence of [[plum juice]] in [[Clearleaf Forest]], Globox realises that he can [[Swimming|swim]], and even manages to swim up an entire waterfall while avoiding [[Piranha#In Rayman 3 and its spin-offs|piranhas]]. [[Plum juice]] can also give him an ability to fly, or float, into the air, allowing him to avoid such terrains in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that would prove difficult. This was most likely to have been inspired by this hovering technique in ''[[Rayman M]]'', it also may be the inspiration for characters getting [[Bubble|bubblized]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games, and all versions of ''[[Rayman M]]'', it is suggested that Globox can run as fast as the others, despite his weight, but elsewhere he tends to walk slowly in a nervous state. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', Globox can use the ability to glide without inflating and just by flapping his arms in the air.

Globox also has the ability to [[Rain Dance|form rainclouds]], albeit small ones that draw enough rain to either grow a [[plant]] quickly, put out fires, or rust a [[Robo-Pirate]] in self defence. Most other species would need to use a [[Rain Mask]], which one of [[Baby Globox|Globox's children]] gives to [[Rayman]] at [[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

===Personality===
Globox is generally a warm and friendly character and a proud father of more than [[Baby Globox|650 children]], though simple and very shy. Having been captured at least once in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', he has grown an irrational fear of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and often when he senses that they are near, he will run away and hide (notable in [[the Canopy]]), until he is sure that [[Rayman]] had destroyed them all. Similarly, he displays this fear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', this time of the [[Hoodlum]]s and their attacks, unless he is under the influence of [[plum juice]].

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Globox speaks in broken English and has a deep voice, but in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', his English has improved and his voice has attained a higher pitch.

Globox's personality changes between ''[[Rayman 2]]'', ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. While he remains [[Rayman]]'s daft sidekick in these games, in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' he is portrayed as a dim but loveable and well-meaning character, whereas in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' he seems more articulate but less intelligent, and acts rude at times. While very cowardly in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', in Globox can become very rash while under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', yelling drunken taunts at the [[Hoodlum]]s and sometimes standing defiantly in their line of fire (though he is never hurt by this). In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', his personality changes almost completely, acting more dimwitted, cheerful, and no longer cowardly.

==Biography==
Globox and his family were created by [[Polokus]] as part of the non-magical People, as a result of the spirit's sense of humour. He was originally named "Globber", a name that has now been passed on to [[Globber (baby Globox)|one of his children]] in order to rename himself. Together with his wife, [[Uglette]], he is the proud father of at least [[Baby Globox|650 small children]]. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it was revealed that he and his family live in a tree house near [[the Canopy]], though in the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', they live in a secret location hidden in [[the Woods of Light]], named [[Globox Village]].

During the [[Rayman 2 (early production)|early production of ''Rayman 2'']], Globox originally had 35 sons and one of them was named [[Globs]].<ref>Rayman2.com (via archive.org), ''Season of Senses, 5th moon'', http://web.archive.org/web/20000303171408/http://www.rayman2.com/en/story/story_txt1.html</ref>

==In ''Rayman 2''==
{{Quote|text=After, came the adorable Globox and his family. Aren't they cute? The wise sages don't know what [[Polokus]] had in mind when creating them, but he truly used his sense of humour for inspiration.|sign=[[The Knowledge of the World]]|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

{{Quote|text=Adorable, if a little simple, Globox is [[Rayman]]’s best friend. He has the power to [[Rain Dance|create forceful little rain storms]] which can be used to put out fires or make [[plant]]s grow. With the aid of his mate [[Uglette]], he has produced a prodigious family: [[Baby Globox|more than 650 children]] at the last count!|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

Globox makes his first appearance in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. His story, which begins before the game starts, is detailed in the game's manual. When the [[Robo-Pirate]]s invade the [[Glade of Dreams]], [[Rayman]] and Globox, along with their friends, join forces in rebellion against the enemy. One day, the heroes travel to [[the Great Forest]] to ambush the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]]. Globox helps by causing [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] to rest with his [[Rain Dance]]. [[Rayman]] praises his efforts, but loses his powers when the pirates destroy the [[Heart of the World]], and is soon captures. This leaves Globox with no choice but to flee in hopes that he might find [[Ly]] the Fairy and ask for further instructions. [[Ly]] gives Globox a [[Silver Lum]], and instructs him to surrender himself to the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]].

The game opens in the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', as Globox is thrown into the same cell as [[Rayman]]. Globox gives him the [[Silver Lum]] he received from [[Ly]], which allows [[Rayman]] to shoot with his [[magic fist]]. [[Rayman]] smashes a [[Sparadrap|metal grate]] covering an air vent, and together, he and Globox go down the chute. However, Globox knocks [[Rayman]] off the edge, and they become separated. When [[Rayman]] lands in [[the Woods of Light]], he meets three [[baby Globox]]es, and admits to them that he was separated from their father. Later, in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], [[Rayman]] meets [[Ssssam]], who informs him that Globox has been recaptured by the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] and taken beyond [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]].

When [[Rayman]] reaches [[the Canopy]], he finds Globox imprisoned in a [[laser]] holding cell, near a sign referring to him as 'Public Enemy #2'. [[Rayman]] frees Globox, who joins him for the remainder of the level. He puts his [[Rain Dance]] to good use, growing helpful [[plant]]s, putting out fires and short-circuiting electric [[laser]] fences. However, upon the sight of a [[warship]], Globox runs back the way they came into a cave. [[Rayman]] goes back to reassure his friend that there's nothing to be scared of, and then, Globox remembers to give him a [[Silver Lum]] which upgrades the power of his [[magic fist]]. At the end of the level, Globox takes leave of [[Rayman]], insisting that he must go and find his wife, [[Uglette]].

Unfortunately, Globox gets captured again near the end of the game when the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] enslave his children. As explained by a crying [[Uglette]], he tried to fight them to protect his family, but he got overwhelmed and taken as prisoner. Later, he is used used as live bait to lure [[Rayman]] to [[the Crow's Nest]]. Before [[Razorbeard]] can kill Globox, [[Rayman]] shows up and the heroes get shot, but the shot misses and hits the pole that hangs Globox upside down. Despite that, Globox he insists that [[Rayman]] should carry on fighting the [[Grolgoth]] rather than worrying about him. It is unknown how he got down after [[the Crow's Nest]] fell apart, but whatever happens, he ends up back on the ground safely by the time he and his friends mourn their hero after the ''[[Buccaneer]]'' explodes, until [[Rayman]] turns up alive.

==In ''Rayman 2 Forever''==
Globox appears in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', although his role is drastically decreased. He is still captured at the start of the game and gives [[Rayman]] the [[Silver Lum]], however he does not appear again until the end, where he has a cameo appearance celebrating [[Rayman]]'s victory.

==In ''Rayman Revolution''==
Though Globox's role in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' is similar to that in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', a few new elements were added. In ''[[Rayman Revolution|Revolution]]'', Globox does not grant [[Rayman]] the ability to shoot his [[magic fist]], but instead simply allows [[Rayman]] to [[Telescopic fist|punch]]. Globox's [[Globox's House|house]], children, and relation with [[Uglette]] are depicted in a larger scale; [[Bimbette|one of his daughters]] is an important character later in the game, [[Uglette]] is constantly seen worrying about Globox, and his cliffside house's acres of land are the setting for the middle third of the game. Globox joins [[Rayman]] on a few occasions in a fashion similar to [[Clark]] or Globox's role in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox must be taken past [[Whale Bay]] to use his [[Rain Dance]] so as to enable entry to [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].

==In ''Rayman M'', ''Rayman Arena'' and ''Rayman Rush''==
{{Quote|text=Had to overcome his shyness and fear (maybe he had therapy?) to risk his neck in this competition. While he might appear a bit awkward and clumsy, behind that oversized body lies a certain dexterity and fighting spirit.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman M]]''}}

Globox is one of the five playable characters that are initially available in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''.

The manual for the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' offers the following description of Globox:

<blockquote>'''Profession:''' Model Father. 
'''Likes:''' Sleeping under trees, playing with his [[Baby Globox|boys]], and rock music. 
'''Dislikes:''' Danger, being woken up suddently by [[Tily]], and journeys across the world. 
'''Address:''' [[Globox's House|Third cave on the left in the magic mountains]].</blockquote>

Several other [[skin]]s appear for Globox in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]''.

==In ''Rayman 3''==
{{Quote|text=[[Rayman]]’s best friend has at last got the role of his life: not only does he mistakenly swallow [[André]], the chief of the [[black Lum]]s, but he’s also chased by the [[Hoodlum]] army, who’re trying to get their boss back.

{{Quote|text=[[Rayman]]'s ever-faithful partner, the bumbling Globox, incurred the [[Hoodlum]]s' wrath when he swallowed their almighty leader, the [[André|Dark Lum Lord]]. Fortunately, this rotund sidekick's belly is the ideal prison to keep the [[André|Lum Lord]] at bay. There's just one catch - Globox needs [[plum juice]] to quell the [[André|Lum Lord]]'s tantrums, and will risk blowing the whole adventure just for a keg of foamy [[plum]] goodness.|sign=Manual (US version)|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Globox remains physically similar to his original appearance, though had become a comedic sidekick for this next appearance. Globox plays a major plot role, having accidentally swallowed [[André]] and having to find a [[Teensie doctor|doctor]] who would find a way to remove [[André]] from Globox during the first half of the game. During this time, Globox is forced by [[André]] to drink [[plum juice]], despite his allergies, and during a somewhat drunken state he gains special abilities for short periods of time that are needed to progress [[Rayman]] through the game or move Globox forward through the level (by floating). Through the second half he plays a lesser role, though tends to follow [[Rayman]] on their journey, occasionally bringing up the odd surprise. He is notably voice acted by actor John Leguizamo.

==In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3''==
In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], Globox is only seen in the introduction and ending scenes. As in [[Rayman 3|the main version of the game]] he swallows a [[Black Lum]], although the circumstances surrounding this are not explored, except for the fact that he did it to save the [[Teensie]]s. He then runs away from [[Rayman]], unable to keep still, and [[Rayman]] spends the rest of the game looking for him. At some point, Globox is captured by [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] and the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, who are looking for the [[Black Lum]]. [[Rayman]] breaks into the [[Pirate Stronghold]] and saves him, at which point he spits out the [[Black Lum]] and all is well. [[Rayman]] and Globox then return to the [[Baby Globox]]es, where Globox tells a story that implies it was all because of him that the [[Black Lum]] was defeated. When [[Rayman]] complains, Globox admits that [[Rayman]] "did help a bit", to which [[Rayman]] replies "Thanks pa, we knew you could do it".

==In ''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''==
{{Quote|text=This guy is big! Really big! Unfortunately, he doesn't know what "big" means. All he knows is that "Shadows are scary" and [[Rayman]] is his best friend. His simple life got a lot more complicated when he swallowed the [[Black Lum|Dark Lum]] [[André]]. Now he's got a talking tummy ache and a desperate yearning for [[Plum juice]], which makes him go berserk!|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''}}

In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows [[Rayman]] through much of the game, similar to ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox is also a playable character in some levels. Oftentimes there will be a puzzle-like sequence of events that requires the player to use both [[Rayman]] and Globox to move forward in the level. They must reach the exit together to complete the stage, as they will refuse to finish the level without the other. As [[André]] has been consumed once more, Globox can use the effects of [[plum juice]] to do certain things to move on in the stage, such as breaking metal bars. Without [[plum juice]], he will get scared if a [[Hoodlum]] is too close to him, but with it, he can move slightly faster and defeat enemies in one hit with a slap. Since he is unable to jump, he needs help to reach an alternate path. Globox cannot die by falling into lava or water or get killed by enemies, since he will run from them without [[plum juice]]. He does not have a health bar of his own, meaning that a Game Over only happens if [[Rayman]] dies.

Within the game's story, Globox goes missing when he begins to have bad dreams about swallowing [[André]]. He is captured first by the [[Hoodlum]]s, managing to save himself, and then by [[Bégoniax]], from whom he is rescued by [[Rayman]].

[[Rayman]] and Globox then go on a mission to stop the [[Hoodlum]]s creating a cloned [[Reflux]], however it is eventually revealed that [[André]] has taken over the body of Globox, having left part of his spirit inside when he was previously swallowed. [[André]] takes off in Globox's body, causing [[Rayman]] to pursue him. [[Rayman]] eventually defeats the cloned [[Reflux]], freeing Globox from [[André]]'s control in the process, and the two heroes go home, with [[Rayman]] commenting that they "make a pretty good team".

Globox makes an appearance as a playable character in ''[[Rayman Kart]]''. He is unlocked from the start and his special power is to drop three [[baby Globox]]es on the track.

==In ''Rayman Origins'' and its spin-offs==
{{Quote|text=A quiet force within the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]], Globox is never to be underestimated. Always ready to lend a hand to his friends and adversaries alike, his mastery of Fung-Ku and etiquette comes down to the classic Gimme Five move, a solid smack that can knock you right out of your boxer shorts! This glorious goober* is, nevertheless, everything you could want in a friend. Always up for a little fooding, fighting, and power-napping − and always in good spirits − Globox is second to none when it comes to romping, bouncing, and bubble-ising baddies. The mystery surrounding how the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]’s all-time undefeated champion snoozer became blue is a matter of some speculation among the magic peoples. The other [[Red Wizard]]s of his Vubooduboo-practising clan whisper of venomous bubeastietubbis, while the [[Teensie]]s favor an epic tale of high-comedy featuring Globox’s fondness for sacred [[plum juice]].

Globox next appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The trailer shows [[Rayman]]'s first meeting with Globox, prior to the events of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. It is said that Globox is [[Rayman]]'s ‘double, his blood brother, his id’. ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' reveals that Globox is one of a group of beings known as the [[Red Wizard]]s; like the other wizards, Globox was originally red, but he turned blue after being attacked by [[blue mosquito]]es involving a berry picking incident. [[Red Globox]] is also an unlockable character in [[Rayman Origins|Origins]]. Globox can [[Helicopter|glide]] by flapping his arms, unlike in earlier games when he had to inflate in order to 'float'. ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' is also the first game where Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] claims that Globox is, or has, the "biggest glute in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]" when that name was used in reference to [[bird]]-like [[Glute|creatures]] that only physically appeared in the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|beta]] of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. This has led to the common misconception that the [[glute]]s and [[Globox's species]] are one and the same. This misconception has even made its way into the book ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', which refers to both Globox and the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] as glutes.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 10 - Rayman's World</ref> In reality, however, it is more likely that the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] is literally referring to Globox’s glutes, which are a group of muscles that make up the buttocks (meaning that he would essentially be claiming that Globox has the biggest butt in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]).

==In ''Rayman: The Board Game''==
Globox is set to appear as a playable character in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. His appearance is based on that of the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games, albeit without eyebrows. His early figure had eyebrows, a slightly different design, and a different pose. An alternate, Kickstarter-exclusive figure of Globox sliding on his back was also revealed as the third [[lucky ticket]] and will be included with all pledges that have a copy of the base game.

==In ''Rayman Legends Retold''==
{{Quote|text=Globox is [[Rayman]]'s best friend, and is a goofy, happy guy whose interests revolve around sleeping, napping and munching.

He is Rayman's wingman and as such, he tries to emulate his actions as often as possible. Due to his poor athleticism and lack of intellectual prowess, results are usually quite... disastrous. Good thing he's extremely strong!

His origins remain unclear to this day. Some say that Globox used to be red, but turned blue after feasting on berries and being swarmed by [[Blue mosquito|mosquitoes]]...|sign=Official description|source=''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]''}}

Globox's design in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' remains mostly the same as in previous [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games. His eyes are now colored lime green, he has a red tongue instead of a purple one, his teeth are now visible at times, and his skin is more detailed and textured. Unlike in the original game, he has full lines of dialogue.

In the fighting game ''[[Brawlhalla]]'', the Rayman Update patch added numerous skins, items, and effects to the game. One of these skins was Globox for the character Cassidy. He is considered an "Epic Crossover Skin," just like [[Barbara]]. Globox comes with signature FX swaps, Legend Name and icon swaps, custom Lock-In animation, and two weapon skins which include two [[giant mosquito]]es which Globox uses as guns as well as [[Selena]]'s sword which is called the Selena Smasher here. Globox can be purchased for 300 Mammoth Coins.

'''Globox''' is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], second only to [[Rayman]] himself in his prominence. Globox acts as a major ally in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and is a playable character in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. He is [[Rayman]]'s best friend and has been since before the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

==Description==
===Appearance===
Globox resembles a large, fat amphibian, who is blue-green in colour, with a pale yellow belly and hands. While the rest of his body is fat and heavy, he has long thin arms. His webbed feet and small eyes float separately from his body. He is noticeably taller than most of the inhabitants of the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]], with the exception of such characters as [[Ly]] the Fairy and [[Clark]] the Giant. Globox has an extremely large mouth with a long purple tongue, he often uses it to store things such as [[Silver Lum]]s, and, accidentally, [[André]]. [[Baby Globox|His children]] have the same ability, as was shown late in the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]''; one of his sons swallowed [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth Mask of Polokus]] after finding it in [[the Iron Mountains]] ([[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''), then he gave the mask to [[Rayman]], once the latter had freed him and his siblings from the [[Spyglass Pirate]]'s [[Robot Dinosaur]].

In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Globox's appearance was changed to suit the preferences of the Japanese market.<ref>Ubi Soft Divertissements inc. (via archive.org), ''Dossier spécial - La localisation chez Ubi Soft !'', https://web.archive.org/web/20010217082924/http://ubisoft.qc.ca/presse/presentations/localisation_p4.htm</ref> He is scaleless and his mouth is completely pink.

Globox used to be red, but one day while he was eating berries, he mistook a [[blue mosquito]] for a berry, and ate it. From inside Globox's belly, the insect called for help, and hundreds of other [[blue mosquito]]es came to sting Globox. When they left him, Globox's red skin was covered in painful blue welts. These eventually seeped into his skin, turning it blue.

In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', along with [[Rayman]] and [[Barbara]], Globox sports a new adventurer outfit. He wears a sleeveless green coat over a buttoned white shirt, with the top unbuttoned. He also wears a small brown satchel, gray pants held up by a brown belt with a gold buckle, and brown shoes.

===Abilities===
Physically, Globox is quite strong, and provided that he has the confidence too (under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''), he can inflict a strong blow on enemies, namely [[Hoodlum]]s. Unfortunately, he is allergic to [[plum juice]]; when [[André]] was inside his stomach, he would force Globox to drink some, then it would have various effects on Globox, such as getting drunk, and burping out giant bouncy bubbles. While under the influence of [[plum juice]] in [[Clearleaf Forest]], Globox realises that he can [[Swimming|swim]], and even manages to swim up an entire waterfall while avoiding [[Piranha#In Rayman 3 and its spin-offs|piranhas]]. [[Plum juice]] can also give him an ability to fly, or float, into the air, allowing him to avoid such terrains in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that would prove difficult. This was most likely to have been inspired by this hovering technique in ''[[Rayman M]]'', it also may be the inspiration for characters getting [[Bubble|bubblized]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games, and all versions of ''[[Rayman M]]'', it is suggested that Globox can run as fast as the others, despite his weight, but elsewhere he tends to walk slowly in a nervous state. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', Globox can use the ability to glide without inflating and just by flapping his arms in the air.

Globox also has the ability to [[Rain Dance|form rainclouds]], albeit small ones that draw enough rain to either grow a [[plant]] quickly, put out fires, or rust a [[Robo-Pirate]] in self defence. Most other species would need to use a [[Rain Mask]], which one of [[Baby Globox|Globox's children]] gives to [[Rayman]] at [[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

===Personality===
Globox is generally a warm and friendly character and a proud father of more than [[Baby Globox|650 children]], though simple and very shy. Having been captured at least once in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', he has grown an irrational fear of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and often when he senses that they are near, he will run away and hide (notable in [[the Canopy]]), until he is sure that [[Rayman]] had destroyed them all. Similarly, he displays this fear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', this time of the [[Hoodlum]]s and their attacks, unless he is under the influence of [[plum juice]].

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Globox speaks in broken English and has a deep voice, but in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', his English has improved and his voice has attained a higher pitch.

Globox's personality changes between ''[[Rayman 2]]'', ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. While he remains [[Rayman]]'s daft sidekick in these games, in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' he is portrayed as a dim but loveable and well-meaning character, whereas in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' he seems more articulate but less intelligent, and acts rude at times. While very cowardly in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', in Globox can become very rash while under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', yelling drunken taunts at the [[Hoodlum]]s and sometimes standing defiantly in their line of fire (though he is never hurt by this). In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', his personality changes almost completely, acting more dimwitted, cheerful, and no longer cowardly.

==Biography==
Globox and his family were created by [[Polokus]] as part of the non-magical People, as a result of the spirit's sense of humour. He was originally named "Globber", a name that has now been passed on to [[Globber (baby Globox)|one of his children]] in order to rename himself. Together with his wife, [[Uglette]], he is the proud father of at least [[Baby Globox|650 small children]]. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it was revealed that he and his family live in a tree house near [[the Canopy]], though in the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', they live in a secret location hidden in [[the Woods of Light]], named [[Globox Village]].

During the [[Rayman 2 (early production)|early production of ''Rayman 2'']], Globox originally had 35 sons and one of them was named [[Globs]].<ref>Rayman2.com (via archive.org), ''Season of Senses, 5th moon'', http://web.archive.org/web/20000303171408/http://www.rayman2.com/en/story/story_txt1.html</ref>

==In ''Rayman 2''==
{{Quote|text=After, came the adorable Globox and his family. Aren't they cute? The wise sages don't know what [[Polokus]] had in mind when creating them, but he truly used his sense of humour for inspiration.|sign=[[The Knowledge of the World]]|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

{{Quote|text=Adorable, if a little simple, Globox is [[Rayman]]’s best friend. He has the power to [[Rain Dance|create forceful little rain storms]] which can be used to put out fires or make [[plant]]s grow. With the aid of his mate [[Uglette]], he has produced a prodigious family: [[Baby Globox|more than 650 children]] at the last count!|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

Globox makes his first appearance in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. His story, which begins before the game starts, is detailed in the game's manual. When the [[Robo-Pirate]]s invade the [[Glade of Dreams]], [[Rayman]] and Globox, along with their friends, join forces in rebellion against the enemy. One day, the heroes travel to [[the Great Forest]] to ambush the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]]. Globox helps by causing [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] to rest with his [[Rain Dance]]. [[Rayman]] praises his efforts, but loses his powers when the pirates destroy the [[Heart of the World]], and is soon captures. This leaves Globox with no choice but to flee in hopes that he might find [[Ly]] the Fairy and ask for further instructions. [[Ly]] gives Globox a [[Silver Lum]], and instructs him to surrender himself to the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]].

The game opens in the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', as Globox is thrown into the same cell as [[Rayman]]. Globox gives him the [[Silver Lum]] he received from [[Ly]], which allows [[Rayman]] to shoot with his [[magic fist]]. [[Rayman]] smashes a [[Sparadrap|metal grate]] covering an air vent, and together, he and Globox go down the chute. However, Globox knocks [[Rayman]] off the edge, and they become separated. When [[Rayman]] lands in [[the Woods of Light]], he meets three [[baby Globox]]es, and admits to them that he was separated from their father. Later, in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], [[Rayman]] meets [[Ssssam]], who informs him that Globox has been recaptured by the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] and taken beyond [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]].

When [[Rayman]] reaches [[the Canopy]], he finds Globox imprisoned in a [[laser]] holding cell, near a sign referring to him as 'Public Enemy #2'. [[Rayman]] frees Globox, who joins him for the remainder of the level. He puts his [[Rain Dance]] to good use, growing helpful [[plant]]s, putting out fires and short-circuiting electric [[laser]] fences. However, upon the sight of a [[warship]], Globox runs back the way they came into a cave. [[Rayman]] goes back to reassure his friend that there's nothing to be scared of, and then, Globox remembers to give him a [[Silver Lum]] which upgrades the power of his [[magic fist]]. At the end of the level, Globox takes leave of [[Rayman]], insisting that he must go and find his wife, [[Uglette]].

Unfortunately, Globox gets captured again near the end of the game when the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] enslave his children. As explained by a crying [[Uglette]], he tried to fight them to protect his family, but he got overwhelmed and taken as prisoner. Later, he is used used as live bait to lure [[Rayman]] to [[the Crow's Nest]]. Before [[Razorbeard]] can kill Globox, [[Rayman]] shows up and the heroes get shot, but the shot misses and hits the pole that hangs Globox upside down. Despite that, Globox he insists that [[Rayman]] should carry on fighting the [[Grolgoth]] rather than worrying about him. It is unknown how he got down after [[the Crow's Nest]] fell apart, but whatever happens, he ends up back on the ground safely by the time he and his friends mourn their hero after the ''[[Buccaneer]]'' explodes, until [[Rayman]] turns up alive.

==In ''Rayman 2 Forever''==
Globox appears in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', although his role is drastically decreased. He is still captured at the start of the game and gives [[Rayman]] the [[Silver Lum]], however he does not appear again until the end, where he has a cameo appearance celebrating [[Rayman]]'s victory.

==In ''Rayman Revolution''==
Though Globox's role in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' is similar to that in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', a few new elements were added. In ''[[Rayman Revolution|Revolution]]'', Globox does not grant [[Rayman]] the ability to shoot his [[magic fist]], but instead simply allows [[Rayman]] to [[Telescopic fist|punch]]. Globox's [[Globox's House|house]], children, and relation with [[Uglette]] are depicted in a larger scale; [[Bimbette|one of his daughters]] is an important character later in the game, [[Uglette]] is constantly seen worrying about Globox, and his cliffside house's acres of land are the setting for the middle third of the game. Globox joins [[Rayman]] on a few occasions in a fashion similar to [[Clark]] or Globox's role in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox must be taken past [[Whale Bay]] to use his [[Rain Dance]] so as to enable entry to [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].

==In ''Rayman M'', ''Rayman Arena'' and ''Rayman Rush''==
{{Quote|text=Had to overcome his shyness and fear (maybe he had therapy?) to risk his neck in this competition. While he might appear a bit awkward and clumsy, behind that oversized body lies a certain dexterity and fighting spirit.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman M]]''}}

Globox is one of the five playable characters that are initially available in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''.

The manual for the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' offers the following description of Globox:

<blockquote>'''Profession:''' Model Father. 
'''Likes:''' Sleeping under trees, playing with his [[Baby Globox|boys]], and rock music. 
'''Dislikes:''' Danger, being woken up suddently by [[Tily]], and journeys across the world. 
'''Address:''' [[Globox's House|Third cave on the left in the magic mountains]].</blockquote>

Several other [[skin]]s appear for Globox in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]''.

==In ''Rayman 3''==
{{Quote|text=[[Rayman]]’s best friend has at last got the role of his life: not only does he mistakenly swallow [[André]], the chief of the [[black Lum]]s, but he’s also chased by the [[Hoodlum]] army, who’re trying to get their boss back. A real character part!|sign=Manual (UK version)|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

{{Quote|text=[[Rayman]]'s ever-faithful partner, the bumbling Globox, incurred the [[Hoodlum]]s' wrath when he swallowed their almighty leader, the [[André|Dark Lum Lord]]. Fortunately, this rotund sidekick's belly is the ideal prison to keep the [[André|Lum Lord]] at bay. There's just one catch - Globox needs [[plum juice]] to quell the [[André|Lum Lord]]'s tantrums, and will risk blowing the whole adventure just for a keg of foamy [[plum]] goodness.|sign=Manual (US version)|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Globox remains physically similar to his original appearance, though had become a comedic sidekick for this next appearance. Globox plays a major plot role, having accidentally swallowed [[André]] and having to find a [[Teensie doctor|doctor]] who would find a way to remove [[André]] from Globox during the first half of the game. During this time, Globox is forced by [[André]] to drink [[plum juice]], despite his allergies, and during a somewhat drunken state he gains special abilities for short periods of time that are needed to progress [[Rayman]] through the game or move Globox forward through the level (by floating). Through the second half he plays a lesser role, though tends to follow [[Rayman]] on their journey, occasionally bringing up the odd surprise. He is notably voice acted by actor John Leguizamo.

==In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3''==
In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], Globox is only seen in the introduction and ending scenes. As in [[Rayman 3|the main version of the game]] he swallows a [[Black Lum]], although the circumstances surrounding this are not explored, except for the fact that he did it to save the [[Teensie]]s. He then runs away from [[Rayman]], unable to keep still, and [[Rayman]] spends the rest of the game looking for him. At some point, Globox is captured by [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] and the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, who are looking for the [[Black Lum]]. [[Rayman]] breaks into the [[Pirate Stronghold]] and saves him, at which point he spits out the [[Black Lum]] and all is well. [[Rayman]] and Globox then return to the [[Baby Globox]]es, where Globox tells a story that implies it was all because of him that the [[Black Lum]] was defeated. When [[Rayman]] complains, Globox admits that [[Rayman]] "did help a bit", to which [[Rayman]] replies "Thanks pa, we knew you could do it".

{{Quote|text=This guy is big! Really big! Unfortunately, he doesn't know what "big" means. All he knows is that "Shadows are scary" and [[Rayman]] is his best friend.

In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows [[Rayman]] through much of the game, similar to ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox is also a playable character in some levels. Oftentimes there will be a puzzle-like sequence of events that requires the player to use both [[Rayman]] and Globox to move forward in the level. They must reach the exit together to complete the stage, as they will refuse to finish the level without the other. As [[André]] has been consumed once more, Globox can use the effects of [[plum juice]] to do certain things to move on in the stage, such as breaking metal bars. Without [[plum juice]], he will get scared if a [[Hoodlum]] is too close to him, but with it, he can move slightly faster and defeat enemies in one hit with a slap. Since he is unable to jump, he needs help to reach an alternate path. Globox cannot die by falling into lava or water or get killed by enemies, since he will run from them without [[plum juice]]. He does not have a health bar of his own, meaning that a Game Over only happens if [[Rayman]] dies.

Within the game's story, Globox goes missing when he begins to have bad dreams about swallowing [[André]]. He is captured first by the [[Hoodlum]]s, managing to save himself, and then by [[Bégoniax]], from whom he is rescued by [[Rayman]].

[[Rayman]] and Globox then go on a mission to stop the [[Hoodlum]]s creating a cloned [[Reflux]], however it is eventually revealed that [[André]] has taken over the body of Globox, having left part of his spirit inside when he was previously swallowed. [[André]] takes off in Globox's body, causing [[Rayman]] to pursue him. [[Rayman]] eventually defeats the cloned [[Reflux]], freeing Globox from [[André]]'s control in the process, and the two heroes go home, with [[Rayman]] commenting that they "make a pretty good team".

==In ''Rayman Origins'' and its spin-offs==
{{Quote|text=A quiet force within the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]], Globox is never to be underestimated. Always ready to lend a hand to his friends and adversaries alike, his mastery of Fung-Ku and etiquette comes down to the classic Gimme Five move, a solid smack that can knock you right out of your boxer shorts! This glorious goober* is, nevertheless, everything you could want in a friend. Always up for a little fooding, fighting, and power-napping − and always in good spirits − Globox is second to none when it comes to romping, bouncing, and bubble-ising baddies. The mystery surrounding how the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]’s all-time undefeated champion snoozer became blue is a matter of some speculation among the magic peoples. The other [[Red Wizard]]s of his Vubooduboo-practising clan whisper of venomous bubeastietubbis, while the [[Teensie]]s favor an epic tale of high-comedy featuring Globox’s fondness for sacred [[plum juice]].
*Goober is a term of endearment that comes from the ancient Gladeish verb “to goub,” which involves dancing while smiling sheepishly, exposing 'the goubs' in one's teeth.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

{{Quote|text=The one and only Globox! Biggest glute in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]! Champion of snoring songs; you honor me with your noisy naps! Not sure the neighbors are so psyched.. [[Livid Dead]] have no taste in music! Tickle them to death!|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]}}

Globox next appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The trailer shows [[Rayman]]'s first meeting with Globox, prior to the events of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. It is said that Globox is [[Rayman]]'s ‘double, his blood brother, his id’. ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' reveals that Globox is one of a group of beings known as the [[Red Wizard]]s; like the other wizards, Globox was originally red, but he turned blue after being attacked by [[blue mosquito]]es involving a berry picking incident. [[Red Globox]] is also an unlockable character in [[Rayman Origins|Origins]]. Globox can [[Helicopter|glide]] by flapping his arms, unlike in earlier games when he had to inflate in order to 'float'. ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' is also the first game where Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] claims that Globox is, or has, the "biggest glute in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]" when that name was used in reference to [[bird]]-like [[Glute|creatures]] that only physically appeared in the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|beta]] of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. This has led to the common misconception that the [[glute]]s and [[Globox's species]] are one and the same. This misconception has even made its way into the book ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', which refers to both Globox and the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] as glutes.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 10 - Rayman's World</ref> In reality, however, it is more likely that the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] is literally referring to Globox’s glutes, which are a group of muscles that make up the buttocks (meaning that he would essentially be claiming that Globox has the biggest butt in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]).

Globox is set to appear as a playable character in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. His appearance is based on that of the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games, albeit without eyebrows.

Globox's design in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' remains mostly the same as in previous [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games. His eyes are now colored lime green, he has a red tongue instead of a purple one, his teeth are now visible at times, and his skin is more detailed and textured. Unlike in the original game, he has full lines of dialogue.

He is considered an "Epic Crossover Skin," just like [[Barbara]].

Soccer ball

RayGamer99:

A '''soccer ball''' is an object which appears in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and briefly in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. It has multiple uses, from its traditional use to breaking [[cage]]s.

== In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' ==

== In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' ==
Soccer balls appear more prominently in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. It is used in the soccer-based (or football in some countries) game [[Kung Foot]], and in various levels particularly in secret areas to break open an inaccessible [[Teensie]] [[cage]].

The French restaurants of McDonald's did a Happy Meal promotion of six ''[[Rayman 2]]'' figures between the 17th May 2000 and the 13th June 2000 - at least one complete collection is known to be owned by a member of the fanbase. Its exclusive limited distribution in the Metropolitan France territory makes this collection very hard to find nowadays; despite of some of the figures being found in the French eBay.

==Plush of [[Rayman]] on a [[walking shell]]==
This plush is known to have been sold in the United Kingdom, France and in Spain during the ''[[Rayman 3|Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'''s release. It was available in a small and medium size and they are rare items to find nowadays - at least five plushes are known to be owned by members of the fanbase. Both versions of the plush have different facial expressions: the small version represents a neutral expression of [[Rayman]] while the medium version represents an angry expression of [[Rayman]].

Oddly enough, the cloth tag at the rear end of the plush bears the ''Rayman 3'' logo, yet the only feature that is based on the style in said game is the red hood - the rest of the plush's features are based on the ''Rayman 2'' design.

They are believed to have been distributed by [http://www.pbpes.es/company.html Play By Play], a plush toy company based in Spain, according to the cloth tag.

Talk:Red Wizard

2026-06-11T19:15:05Z

RayGamer99: /* New discoveries in the files */

Now that they're officially named "red wizards", can we change the name of this article? --[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 18:28, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
:Okie dokie! --[[User:Cairnie|Cairnie]] 18:32, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

== They slap too! ==

Is this worth noting? I discovered this in the Moseying the Mountain level. After freeing the wizards and opening the door, if you hit them, they will slap you back, just like Globox. There's also a response in crushing them. [[User:Spanex|Spanex]] 08:31, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
:The Teensies in Riding the Storm do that too, such a cute little gimmick but could be worth noting. --[[User:Cairnie|Cairnie]] 12:21, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
:I didn't know about the Red Wizards but I knew that the Teensies of the Riding the Storm level did. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 16:14, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

== New discoveries in the files ==

I recently made a video about a lot of new discoveries in the files for the Red Wizards in Rayman Origins, including a whole new variant

They are completely different in behaviour and are very interesting, so I think it should be worth adding to the page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPvjPWs9Ztg

20,000 Lums Under the Sea

2026-06-10T19:32:40Z

RayGamer99: /* Rayman Legends Retold */

[[File:20 000 lums under the sea.png|320px|thumb|right|The logo for 20,000 Lums Under the Sea.]]

{{Quote|text=Dive in the depth [sic] of the ocean, in this spy world. Enemies are not a joke and you'll need stealth and skill to infiltrate the Ocean base. Be careful, the detections systems are top of the lines [sic] with [[Dark Sentry|laser beams detecting motions]] and patrolling [[Spy Toad|toads]] equipped with night goggles. Be quick, be smart, play with the lights and the shadows to infiltrate this enemy base.|sign=Xbox e-manual|source=''[[Rayman Legends]]''}}

'''20,000 Lums Under the Sea''', also known as the '''Sea of Serendipity''' in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' and '''the Iron Shell''' in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'', is the fourth world in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and [[Rayman Legends Retold|its remake]] and the fourth world in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. It is a water-and-machine based world, which takes cues from various spy tropes; for example, the ''James Bond'' theme can be heard during certain underwater sections. Several reoccurring elements from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', and the same name being used in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', suggests that this world takes place in the [[Sea of Serendipity]].

==Description==
20,000 Lums Under the Sea mainly takes place in an underwater base, with many pipes of different lengths and crates. Some parts of the base have windows where there's the familiar singing group of [[fish]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. Several areas in the base are underwater where the heroes use their [[swimming]] ability. The bodies of water are filled with rocks and mines and [[Dark Sentry|Dark Sentries]]. One part of the world takes place in a mansion, with red carpet and gold platforms. Mechanical gears at a late point can be seen, suggesting the fight against the boss of the world, the [[Mechanical Dragon]].

}}

In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', after defeating [[El Luchador]] and the third [[Dark Teensy]], [[Rayman]] and his team of heroes enter 20,000 Lums Under the Sea. They start out in [[the Mysterious Inflatable Island]]; the name is a reference to the bouncy, inflatable island they land on at the start of the level. They immediately begin to [[Swimming|swim]] underwater after jumping off the island. Underwater, they have to get through the [[Dark Sentry|Dark Sentries]], a very common enemy in the world that cannot be defeated.

They end up in an underwater base, where most [[Underwater Toad]]s with guns reside at. The landscape of the base are pipes and crates. [[Murfy]] is needed in several parts of [[the Deadly Lights]] to move objects or push buttons to block the [[Dark Sentry|Dark Sentries]]' dangerous [[laser]]-like lights. A small mansion can be seen in [[Mansion of the Deep]], with big aquariums, gold and a fancy red carpet. The heroes begin to alternate between [[swimming]] underwater and walking on the platforms of the base.

Later on, after surviving an [[Elevator Ambush|ambush]] of [[Spy Toad]]s on two pipe simulations of an elevator, they meet up with the fourth [[Dark Teensy]]. After pursuing him and rescuing a girl [[Teensie]], he later whistles for a large, creature-eating sea dragon called [[Seabreather]] to hunt down the heroes. After a [[There's Always a Bigger Fish|long chase]] in the water, the team pulls on a lever that drains the water, and defeats [[Seabreather]]. This shortly leads up to the [[Mechanical Dragon]] being activated. The heroes must take advantage of the recently acquired [[Flying Punch]] power-up to attack the weak spot of the [[Mechanical Dragon]] and destroy it. The [[Dark Teensy]] shortly after suffers the same fate as the first three.

[[Gloo Gloo]], the music level of the world presumably is in the [[Sea of Serendipity]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. Elements from that world like the underwater caves, the wooden platforms and enemies like [[swordfish]] and a [[warship]] appear in this music level. This suggests that 20,000 Lums Under the Sea actually is in the [[Sea of Serendipity]], though this is not confirmed.

==''Rayman: The Board Game''==
20,000 Lums Under the Sea is set to be included as a board in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''’s 5-6 player expansion. [[Underwater Toad]]s will appear as enemies on the board. The world’s painting also appears on the Weaver Player card.

==''Rayman Legends Retold''==
20,000 Lums Under the Sea returns in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'', a remake of ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', now known as '''the Iron Shell'''. The world presumably contains every level featured in the original game, and while it has not yet been confirmed, the world likely features a [[Forest dragon|dragon]]-riding level and a new music level.

'''Electoons''', sometimes known simply as '''Toons''', are the stuff of [[Polokus]]'s dreams and the substance from which the [[Glade of Dreams]] was created. They feature in several games in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], most notably [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. They appear as small, pink, benevolent creatures with round bodies and blond ponytails.

==Description==
[[File:RaymanSleep.PNG|frame|left|[[Rayman]] being cradled by a group of Electoons.]]

Electoons are composed of magical energy; together, hundreds of them revolve around the [[Great Protoon]]. The Electoons and the [[Great Protoon]] appear to balance and stabilise each other. Physically the Electoons resemble small pink balls with large eyes, blue shoes and, with the exception of their appearance in ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', blond ponytails. When [[Mr Dark]] steals the [[Great Protoon]] at the very beginning of the game, the Electoons lose their natural stability and are scattered all over [[the valley]]. They are then captured and imprisoned in [[cage]]s by [[Mr Dark]]'s minions. More detail is given in [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version]], which explains that [[Mr Dark]] captured the Electoons in order to steal their energy and use it for himself.

Electoons express gratitude towards [[Rayman]] when he rescues them, as shown by the small heart icons that appear over their heads. The antithesis of Electoons are [[Antitoon]]s (also known as Darktoons) – malevolent, blue, more masculine creatures which are highly similar to them. [[Antitoon]]s are the stuff of nightmares, and are spawned by [[Jano]], a creature born of [[Polokus]]'s [[First Bad Dream]].

The name ‘Electoon’ is derived from the term [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron ‘electron’].

==Appearances==
===''Rayman'' and its spin-offs===
[[File:The Dream Forest.png|frame|left|class=sprite|An Electoon charging its [[telescopic fist]].]]
[[File:R1 Medallion.png|thumb|316px|right|class=sprite|[[Rayman]] breaks an Electoon [[cage]] with his [[telescopic fist]].]]

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], they are kept in [[cage]]s in groups of seven (or more in the Atari Jaguar version), and in each of the game's eighteen levels – excluding [[Mr Dark's Dare|the final one]] – there are six [[cage]]s. In total, there are 102 [[cage]]s throughout the game, all of which [[Rayman]] must break in order to enter the [[Candy Château]]. Whenever they are set free, they will cheer, show love for [[Rayman]], and walk on their own, often ending up falling into water. They can also use their hair as a [[helicopter]] like [[Rayman]] does. It is possible that [[Rayman]] is actually made up of Electoons, as when he loses a [[life]], his body parts turn into Electoons which quickly shoot up in the sky. Further evidence for this can be found in the image used to represent [[the Dream Forest]], in which an Electoon can be seen charging up its [[telescopic fist]] to ambush a [[Livingstone]], and [[Rayman (early production)|an early version of the game]], in which [[Rayman]] himself is represented by an Electoon on the world map. In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] reverts to orbs of energy whenever he dies – Electoons are also beings of energy. However, ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' contradicts this theory, as the game's manual and official website states that [[Rayman]] is actually made up of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]].

{{Clear}}

===The Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''===
In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], Electoons are referred to as just ‘Toons’. There are thirty-eight [[cage]]s of Toons in total.

===''Rayman Origins''===
[[File:RO-Electoon.png|thumb|80px|Electoon symbol in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.]]

{{Quote|text=The irrepressibly happy Electoons are the stuff of [[Polokus|the Maker]]'s dreams and contained in all of [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s Creation.

As the bad dreams worsen, more and more Electoons become imprisoned by bombastic [[Hunter]]s, who pepper the bucolic [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]] with their belligerently [[Live missile|live ammunition]], and their terrifyingly ridiculous lackeys, the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]]. As a result, the very fabric of the [[Glade of Dreams]] begins to unravel, and the connections that the Electoons once formed between the lands start to to dissolve.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

The Electoons return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In this game, Electoons not only are the creatures that connect the different areas within the [[Glade of Dreams]], but also are the stuff of dreams, the only magical source able to keep [[Polokus]] in peace and serenity, stopping him from creating nightmares.

After [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Polokus]] and some [[Teensie]]s wake an old [[Granny]] with their obnoxious snoring, they get captured as well as some Electoons. With [[Polokus]] turning out of his mind, [[Rayman]] and his friends venture in the search for Electoons. In-game, there are [[cage]]s in secret areas and at the end of each level. Some of the secret areas can be easily found if the player listens to the Electoons' constant cries for help. The player can also free more Electoons by collecting a certain amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] and giving them to [[the Magician]]. Collecting enough Electoons will unlock new characters back at [[the Snoring Tree]] and give access to both boss battles and [[Tricky Treasure]] levels.

Early gameplay footage<ref>YouTube, ''[EARLY BUILD FOOTAGE] Rayman Origins Prototype Gameplay!'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_rC2QcsueA</ref> and one of the game's trailers show that the characters would have had a different death animation. When an enemy or a player died (the latter is only shown with [[Rayman]], but the rest of the playable cast presumably would have had this happen to them too), a bluish puff of smoke would appear and, akin to [[Rayman]]'s animation when he lost a [[life]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], Electoons would fly out of it, quickly shooting up into the sky shortly after. This would eventually be scrapped in favor of the characters being [[Bubble#Vitality|bubblized]] when they were defeated.

===''Rayman Mini''===
Electoons make an appearance in the mobile game ''[[Rayman Mini]]'' as collectibles, which can only be received if the player manages to grab every [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] in a level. Once obtained, Electoons can be used to get [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|outfits]] for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], and, as of version 1.2.0, the [[Teensie]]s. Notably, the Electoons in this game do not have their blond ponytails, a trait that is shared with the [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] of this game.

Though dressed rather ridiculously in pink, these men are verrry dangerous and surprisingly sharp shooters despite their bulging eyes.|sign=Official site|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

'''Hunters''' are recurring enemies in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They are static enemies, turning towards [[Rayman]] to shoot at him with their guns. They are first encountered in the [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and its spinoffs, ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. They make a return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where they are revealed to be the masters of the [[Livingstone]]s. A variety of Hunters also appears in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], but they bear little resemblance to the Hunters in the other games.

==Appearance==
In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], Hunters are limbless creatures with purple bodies, white hands and a red neckerchief, much like [[Rayman]]. However, they have big, cleft chins, bald heads with only two hairs, and stylish moustaches. They carry several ammunitions on their chests, which they seem to use to reload their guns. Their guns shoot slow-moving [[bullet]]s; as the [[bullet]] glides through the air, a small door opens on its top and an arm extends from it. The arm waves a large cartoonish wooden mallet back and forth endlessly.

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], a different kind of limbless Hunters makes an appearance. These Hunters have huge armoured bodies, and wear brown perforated explorer hats, similar to the [[Livingstone]]s'. Their hats cover their faces completely. The only resemblance that these Hunters have with the original ones are their mallet-wielding [[bullet]]s.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', they make another appearance, having a greater resemblance with the Hunters from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. However, like other returning characters, Hunters now have limbs, looking more [[human]]. They have several features of a stereotypical leading safari man, with a gigantic monocle (similar to the [[Bubble throwing clown|water clowns]]') a combed hairstyle, and an enormous moustache. However, their clothes have extravagant colours: A purple coat, a pair of purple shorts (both wrongly described as "pink" on the launch website) and a red neckerchief with white spots. Their hairy hands and yellow, sharp teeth suggest that, like the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]], Hunters possibly also have a poor personal hygiene. Like the original Hunters, they carry their ammunitions on their chests and have enormous cleft chins. This is the only appearance in which Hunters don't use mallet-wielding [[bullet]]s as ammo. Instead, they use big [[live missile]]s with crazed smiley faces and red noses.

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and its spin-offs==
[[File:Chasseur.gif|frame|class=sprite|A Hunter in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].]]

Hunters make their first appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], in the second phase of the level [[Pink Plant Woods]]. They can be found in each of the game's worlds; this makes them the second-most common enemy in the game, after the [[Antitoon]]s. Hunters never move, they are static enemies that continually clean their guns with their neckerchiefs, aim them while sniggering, and then shoot a [[bullet]] at [[Rayman]]. A Hunter can only be hurt when he is cleaning his gun, as its gun blocks [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] when he is aiming it at him. Hunters' [[resistance]] is average. Their slow mallet-wielding [[bullet]]s always move horizontally and are relatively easy to dodge, but have a wide range; [[Rayman]] is likely to get hurt if surprised by them.

At the end of the game, Hunters seem to become good people after [[Mr Dark]] is defeated, as there's a picture of a happy Hunter having a tea party with [[Betilla]] the [[fairy]] during the credits sequence.

===In ''[[Rayman Designer]]''===
In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', there are two types of Hunters, simply titled '''Hunter 1''' and '''Hunter 2'''. Hunter 1 is identical to the Hunter which appears in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. Hunter 2, on the other hand, although very similar, will shoot his [[Bullet|projectiles]] launching upwards rather than in a straight line forward. After gaining a bit of height, they will then fall down in front of the Hunter making them harder to avoid.

The Hunters [[Bullet|projectiles]] can be places as separate events in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', where they are titled '''Balls'''. These are usually linked to a [[gendoor]] and can only fly forward horizontally like the ones from Hunter 1.

==In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]==
[[File:Hunter RRR GBA.png|frame|class=sprite|A Hunter, as seen in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']].]]

A variety of Hunters also appear in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. They can only be found in the [[Forest world]], a [[The Dream Forest|Dream Forest]]-inspired area containing plentiful references to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. In the game, these big armoured Hunters bear little resemblance to their counterparts in the original, but the hammer-wielding [[bullet]]s they fire are exactly the same.

These Hunters have a much lower resistance, being defeated with one regular [[Telescopic fist|punch]]. However, they protect themselves with their guns, and in order to make them vulnerable, [[Rayman]] must put his Goth costume on, and use the ability to spit gum to shoot at their cannons. With their guns filled with sticky bubble gum, the Hunters will be distracted, trying to pull it out. In that moment, [[Rayman]] can defeat them.

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==

{{Quote|text=The hunt is on.

Call to heroes: the hunters must be hunted!|sign=Description of the [https://archive.raymanpc.com/dailybubble/11_en.html 11th issue]|source=''[[The Daily Bubble]]''}}

The Hunters return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and later the [[Back to Origins]] mode in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Their behaviour is similar to the Hunters from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. They keep static, aiming horizontally at the players and then shooting blue [[live missile]]s. However, these [[live missile]]s are much slower than the mallet-wielding [[bullet]]s from the previous games, and players can ride on them without getting harmed (similarly to [[shell]]s), and use them as platforms in order to get to the Hunters, who usually stand in high places. Some Hunters shoot red homing [[live missile]]s, which follow the players for a certain period; those [[Live missile|missiles]] are more dangerous, and players cannot ride on them. It is, however, possible to direct the homing [[live missile]]s at the enemies themselves, which unlocks an achievement on Xbox 360 and a trophy on PlayStation 3 called [[Back At You!]].

Hunters are not as common as the original ones, appearing only in jungle levels like the [[Jibberish Jungle#Ticklish Temples|Ticklish Temples]]. Like most of the enemies in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Hunters can be bubblized with one single attack and take four [[giant mosquito]] shots to be defeated. During [[the Reveal]], a Hunter, along with several [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] can be seen escaping in the [[Warship]] with [[the Magician]], revealing a possible alliance. During the [[giant mosquito]] sequence, the Hunter is hidden inside a tube, shooting his red homing [[live missile]]s at the players, and eventually, coming out.

An artwork depicting a [[Hunter bird|scrapped featherless bird-like creature]] can be seen, with a burned moustache and holding a scared Hunter's monocle. It is unknown what relationship was intended to be between Hunters and those [[Hunter bird|birds]]. However, one of them can be seen on the box art of the game, along with other scrapped enemies.

==In ''[[Rayman Legends]]''==
Hunters return, but they only appear in the [[Back to Origins]] levels. In an early concept art for the game, an archer variant of Hunters was planned for the game, but was scrapped for unknown reasons.

'''Betilla''' the fairy is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], she is a powerful [[fairy]] who uses her magic to grant [[Rayman]] special powers that help him to recover the stolen [[Great Protoon]] from the clutches of the evil [[Mr Dark]]. It is later revealed in the manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' that Betilla and her [[nymph]] sisters created [[Rayman]] to be the protector of the [[Glade of Dreams]].

==Description==
===Appearance===
[[File:BetillaPoingGrappin.png|thumb|316px|left|class=sprite|Betilla, as she appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]]]

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], Betilla has long red hair and wears a green and yellow dress and a hat and shoes covered with blue stars. At the tip of her hat float three pink orbs. She is always seen floating in mid-air, but does not possess wings.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Betilla gets a complete design change. While she retains her long red hair (which has become even longer and darker) and ability to float, she now has small, very translucent wings, and pale skin with freckles on her cheeks. She wears a bikini top, a short skirt and a tall pointy hat of dark and light green colours, and what appears to be dark green kneesocks that are worn up to her now-existent thighs. She also wears a necklace and several gold bangles on both forearms.

An early design for Betilla can be seen in the E3 2010 trailer, where she has bigger eyes and wears earrings. Though slightly different from her appearance in the final game, it has also been used in the manual as well as in promotional material, even after the release of the game, such as an image celebrating [[Rayman]]'s twentieth anniversary in 2015.

===History===
Being a [[fairy]], Betilla is one of the earliest creations of [[Polokus]], making her one of the most ancient creatures in the [[Glade of Dreams]].

===Personality===
Betilla appears to be a meditative and peaceful character in both games, with great wisdom and the helpfulness to guide [[Rayman]] throughout his quest and teach him to use his powers effectively.

==In ''Rayman'' and its spin-offs==
Betilla first appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], where it appears that her role prior to [[Mr Dark]]'s arrival was to protect the [[Great Protoon]] – the mystical orb which keeps the world in balance – and the [[Electoon]]s, little creatures which gravitate around it. Her powers were no match for those of the evil [[Mr Dark]], who defeats her at the beginning of the game, stealing the [[Great Protoon]] and kidnapping the [[Electoon]]s. Throughout the game, Betilla meets with [[Rayman]] five times, each time granting him a new permanent power, gradually building up his strength and abilities. During [[Rayman]]'s battle with [[Space Mama]] in [[Space Mama's Crater|her Crater]], [[Mr Dark]] kidnaps Betilla and traps her in a tiny crystal ball. When [[Rayman]] defeats [[Mr Skops]] in [[Mr Skops' Stalactites|his lair]], he hears Betilla crying out to him for help. At the end of the game, [[Rayman]] defeats [[Mr Dark]] in [[Candy Château|his Château]], and the inhabitants of [[the valley]] celebrate. [[Rayman]]'s rescue of Betilla and his recovery of the [[Great Protoon]] are not shown, but an epilogue screen indicates that both occurred. Betilla does not appear in the direct sequels, ''[[Rayman 2]]'' (where her role is taken by [[Ly]] the Fairy) and ''[[Rayman 3]]'' (which features no major [[fairy]] characters).

===In ''Rayman Junior''===
{{Quote|text=She is gentle, benevolent and protective, but sometimes a little naughty – she is full of surprises. Betilla will give [[Rayman]] extraordinary powers and teach him to control them. Thanks to her, [[Rayman]] is better equipped to fight the evil creatures that will arise in his wake.|sign=Official site|source=''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]''}}

Betilla makes a notable appearance in ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', where she assists [[the Magician]] in giving [[Rayman]] an overview on the tasks he must carry out in order to complete a level. She had witnessed the theft of the [[Magic Book of Knowledge]] by [[Mr Dark]] one day as she was visiting [[the Magician]]'s cottage. To allow the young player to practice, she has her own area on the world map called [[Betilla's Garden]], which is a series of simplified maps that cover most of [[Rayman]]'s abilities. Betilla also appears in other educational [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]] for even younger children.

==In ''Rayman Origins''==
{{Quote|text=The benevolent yet badass Betilla from ''[[Rayman 1]]'' is back with a vengeance. She is the eldest [[Nymph]], one of [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s first and most beloved creatures. She and her sisters will grant [[Rayman]] and his entourage the powers they will need to complete their quest.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

Betilla first appeared in the E3 2010 trailer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In this game she is identified as the oldest [[nymph]] and an old friend of [[Polokus]]. She ‘weaves the moonbeams of the second summer solstice’ to create [[Rayman]], whom she hopes will protect the balance of the universe; however, the young [[Rayman]] is rebellious, immature and unruly. Like the [[Livingstone]]s, Betilla is portrayed with limbs; a revision of her limbless appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. It may be implied that she is also the trailer's narrator, and she seems to be recounting the game's events from a distant point in the future (presumably after the events of the first three [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' platformers]]).

A final, slightly modified version of [[Rayman]]'s origin story was eventually offered on the official ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' website in November 2011, and can also be found in the game's manual.

{{Quote|text=When [[Polokus|the Creator]] had his very [[First Bad Dream|first bad dream]], the [[nymph]]s gathered to invoke a being of light capable of saving [[Glade of Dreams|our world]]: a creature both agile and carefree, as tenacious as he is hilarious, destined to crack up the Creator with his heroic antics and stop [[Jano|the nightmare]]!

Unfortunately, although not surprisingly, our bedazzling and bodacious [[nymph]]s were distracted by some [[Zombie Chicken]]s on their way to [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s sacred snoring grounds, and they lost a sack of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|lums]] chasing the crazy creatures over a cliff. Thus, they arrived late and with a lot less illumination.

In the end, [[Rayman]] was born with a few fewer limbs, which as it turned out, made him a whole lot more limber!
|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

A notable difference from the scene shown in the announcement trailer for the game is that Betilla is no longer the only [[fairy]] creating [[Rayman]]. It is not specified whether this story is intended to replace or complement the one from the ''[[Rayman 2]]'' manual. It conflicts with the events of the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'' game]], where Betilla introduces herself to [[Rayman]] as if she was meeting him for the first time, as well as with those of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where [[Rayman]] and [[Jano]] do not appear to have met before. It does not explain the existence of [[Tarayzan]] either.

Additionally, this story contradicts that of the origins of the same [[Zombie Chicken]]s which, according to the manual of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and their in-game description in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', were created because of the damages the [[Robo-Pirate]]s have caused when invading the [[Glade of Dreams]], and therefore would not have existed yet at the time of [[Rayman]]'s birth.

In [[It's a Jungle Out There...]], the first level in the [[Jibberish Jungle]], Betilla is the first of the [[nymph]]s to be encountered, trapped inside the jaws of a [[Antitoon|Darktoon]]. When [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s rescue her, she gives them the power to attack. She also appears in some levels of the game congratulating for collecting enough [[Electoon]]s. She is lastly seen meditating with her sisters to open the door to [[Moody Clouds]].

There is a trophy/achievement called [[Betilla's Back!]], which unlocks once a player rescuing her from the [[Antitoon|Darktoon]].

==In ''Rayman Jungle Run''==
In ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', Betilla appears behind the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] counter if the player manages to collect every [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] in a level. There also a wallpaper of her that can be unlocked if enough [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] are collected.

{{Quote|text=While the benevolent Betilla can't join you, this Legendary Blaster ensures she's there in spirit.|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]''}}

While Betilla herself does not appear in ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', [[Rayman]]'s [[Blaster#Weapon skins|Legendary Blaster]] is styled after her.

==In ''Rayman Legends Retold''==
Betilla is set to appear in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' with a more realistic, human-like redesign.

A Betilla-themed skin for [[Barbara]] based on her appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] will appear in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' as part of the Deluxe Edition's "Retro Pack."

==In other games==
=== ''Brawlhalla'' ===
In the fighting game ''Brawlhalla'', a statue of Betilla appears in the map [[Kung Foot|Kung Foot Arena]]. Her appearance is the same as in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' but she wears a different outfit. This might be because her original outfit in that game was deemed too inappropriate for a children's video game.

==Trivia==
[[File:R2 Proto Fairy.PNG|thumb|320px|Betilla, as she would have appeared in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']]]]

* Early in its development, ''[[Rayman 2]]'' [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|was planned as a 2D game]] very similar to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]. An early promotional video and magazine preview revealed that Betilla would make an appearance in the game, and that she would be imprisoned by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. In the final, 3D version of the game, Betilla was replaced by [[Ly]], a different [[fairy]].
* Another character with some resemblance is [[Betina]] from ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]'', but only her name and the colours of her clothes and hair support this speculation.
* Betilla's name can be seen on a leaderboard in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', alongside a default score of 9000.
* The ending of ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' shows Betilla knitting while housesitting [[the Magician]]'s cottage and watching as he celebrates [[Rayman]]'s victory on the television.
* ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'' also reveals that [[Betilla's House|Betilla has a house of her own]]. Players can explore it and find extra activities. It also works as the menu for the game. This image also appears in the French '''[https://raymanpc.com/Img/dossierpresse_rayman3.pdf dossier presse]''' booklet which was released to tie in with ''[[Rayman 3]]''; in the booklet, the image of the house is used as the background for a page which gives an overview of [[Rayman 1|the original game]] in general.
* In 2007, [[Ubisoft]] partnered with UNICEF to create '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsQHz6lSzK0 three brief videos]''' to raise awareness of children's rights issues. In one of the videos, [[Rayman]] chastises a [[Rabbid]] for not sharing a book with a [[baby Globox]]. On the front cover of the book is a picture of Betilla.
* After a [[bomb-launching clown]] draws a picture of Betilla in ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'', [[the Magician]] identifies her as his ‘favourite [[fairy]]’.
* Betilla makes an appearance in the animated sketch comedy television series ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_(TV_series) Mad]'', in an episode entitled "Adventures of TaunTaun / Everyone Loves Rayman." The sketch portrays her as [[Rayman]]'s wife, with whom they have two [[Teensie]]s as their own children and her name is changed to Betilda. This sketch is a combined parody of the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] and the American sitcom ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody_Loves_Raymond Everybody Loves Raymond]''.

==Description==
Hoodmongers are the most common enemies and Hoodlums in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''. They wear brown sack-clothes and hats, and their eyes are red or white. They use two types of rifles, known as Boomsticks, to attack [[Rayman]], and they can sometimes be tricked into shooting one another. In certain areas Hoodmongers can hide behind rotatable wooden shields to protect themselves. Due to a hole in the shield for their guns, they are still able to attack. Despite the protection, [[Rayman]] can defeat them with curved shots. Behind shields, Hoodmongers have a lower resistance, and give fewer points when defeated.

==In ''Rayman 3''==
In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Hoodmongers appear in all the worlds, with the exception of [[the Longest Shortcut]]. Their final in-game appearance is in the final battle with the [[Leptys]]/[[Reflux]], during which [[André]] spawns an army of them with the [[Sceptre of the Leptys]].

A Hoodmonger also appears in the ''[[Wanna Kick Rayman]]'' vignettes, which are presented as fictional instruction videos in which a Hoodmonger teaches the viewer how to kill [[Rayman]].

==In ''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''==
''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'' also features Hoodmongers, in which they fire triple pellet shots instead of their regular gun shots. Even though the projectiles are different, their attack is similar to that of the [[Hoodmonger Officer]]s from [[Rayman 3|the previous game]].

Rayman Legends Retold

2026-06-10T19:15:37Z

RayGamer99:

{{Rewrite-expand}}
{{Game
| name = Rayman Legends Retold
| image = [[File:Rayman Legends Retold Cover Art.jpeg|250px|center|Rayman Legends Retold]]
| published by = [[Ubisoft]]
| developed by = [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]]
| release date = October 1, 2026
| genre = Action platformer
| gameplay mode = Single-player, multiplayer
| platforms = PlayStation 5 Nintendo Switch 2 Xbox Series X/S PC
| game engine = [[Snowdrop]]
}}

'''''Rayman Legends Retold''''' is an upcoming 2.5D/3D action-platformer co-developed by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan]] and published by [[Ubisoft]]. Officially revealed during a Sony State of Play presentation, the game is scheduled for release on the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 1, 2026.<ref name="official_page">PlayStation.Blog, ''Rayman Legends Retold out October 1 on PS5'', https://blog.playstation.com/2026/06/02/rayman-legends-retold-out-october-1-on-ps5/</ref> The game will have a retail price of $39.99.

Developed using the [[Snowdrop]] engine, the game serves as a bold 3D reimagining of the original ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Brand Art Director Guillaume Arvieu described the game's style as "a bridge between the visual richness and dramatization of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3|3]]'', and the efficiency and clarity of the side-scrolling gameplay of ''[[Rayman Legends]]''."<ref name="official_page" /> According to Brand Director Guillaume Cerda, the development team utilized Snowdrop to deliver a more expressive Rayman experience that fully takes advantage of the PS5's capabilities, while Brand Producer Loïc Gounon stated the game preserves what fans love while expanding [[Rayman]]'s lore and world logic.<ref name="official_page" />

Furthermore, the development of the sequel to ''[[Rayman 3]]'' will depend on the sales of this remake.<ref>https://www.thegamer.com/rayman-4-reportedly-depends-on-legends-retold-sales-success/</ref>

== Story ==
The game features a revamped narrative focusing on a shadowy new villain - a small, hooded character capable of wielding dark magic - who spreads corruption through the [[Glade of Dreams]].<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard">YouTube, ''Everything I Learned About Rayman Legends Retold at Ubisoft Montpellier'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EQxfwQPtK0</ref> The main cast - [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], the [[Grand Minimus]], and [[Murfy]] - must work together to rescue the [[Teensie]]s and save their world.<ref name="official_page" />

For the first time since ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the characters are fully voiced and participate in fully dynamic, voiced in-game cutscenes where they actively interact with one another.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" /> [[David Gasman]] returns as the voice of [[Rayman]], while [[Billy West]] reprises his role as [[Murfy]].<ref name="vnheard" />

[[Betilla]] appears in the game as a goddess-like character, boasting a highly redesigned, realistic human-like appearance rather than her cartoonish look from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' or the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']].<ref name="vnheard" />

== Gameplay ==
While preserving the core side-scrolling platforming mechanics of the original game, ''Rayman Legends Retold'' breaks up 2D perception by tilting the camera, bending the playground, and introducing entirely new 3D gameplay sequences.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

Key gameplay features and additions include:
* '''[[Forest dragon|Dragon]] flights:''' Brand-new 3D rail-riding sequences that connect different regions of the worlds. These serve as a modern evolution of the [[giant mosquito]] rides in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', which featured similar gameplay - albeit in 2D - and served the same purpose of connecting worlds together. The flights also serve as callbacks to creature rides in older games, like the [[Bzzit]] flight in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and the [[shell]] rides in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Reworked hub world:''' The original tent hub has been completely replaced. Each world now features its own unique, explorable 3D area containing custom visuals, hidden secrets, and small details to discover before entering levels.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] expansion:''' An extended version of this realm acts as a new world, containing five brand-new stages designed around a "[[Power of Light]]" mechanic.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Cave of Trials]]:''' A new mode offering ongoing free gameplay challenges to test players' skills.<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Four new musical stages:''' Along with returning music levels like [[Castle Rock]] and [[Gloo Gloo]], four completely original rhythm-based levels have been added where player actions, such as jumping and punching, must sync to the beat of the soundtrack.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Updated [[Kung Foot]]:''' The minigame returns with a larger arena, improved controls, customizable rules, and new power-ups, such as the ability to hold onto the ball and pass it to teammates.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Cooperative multiplayer:''' Like in the original game, up to four players can participate in couch co-op, allowing players to rescue [[Teensie]]s together, race for [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], or knock each other off-path to claim rewards.<ref name="official_page" />

== Visuals ==
The game's 3D engine allows for detailed background storytelling. For example, some levels showcase historical depictions of the [[Armored Toad|old Toad King]] as a slimmer, respected ruler prior to his fall from grace in ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''.<ref name="vnheard" /> Level atmospheres have been heavily enhanced; the [[Castle in the Clouds]] level features strong Studio Ghibli vibes, while the [[Enchanted Forest]] features a dark, mysterious nighttime aesthetic reminiscent of [[the Fairy Council]] from ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="vnheard" />

=== Character redesigns ===
Several characters have received detailed redesigns to complement the 3D shift:<ref name="vnheard" />
* [[Rayman]]: Redesigned with two separate eyes, tied-together hoodie drawstrings, and detailed shoes.
* [[Globox]]: Features highly detailed, textured skin and visible teeth.
* [[Teensie]]s: Updated with visible teeth and larger eyes.
* [[Barbara]]: Transitioned into a fully modeled 3D character, representing her biggest visual "glow-up."
* [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]: Wears glasses and has an eccentric, hipster-like appearance. He is also accompanied by a bird companion with a similar color scheme to [[Betilla]]; it is possible that this is [[Betilla]], having taken a new form, but this is unconfirmed.
* [[Betilla]]: Given a realistic, human-like redesign.

== Worlds ==
The five main worlds from the original game return with their original level layouts intact, updated with 3D visuals and dynamic camera angles. The locations all have new names: gameplay footage shows that [[Teensies In Trouble]] has become the "Old Teensie Kingdom" and [[Toad Story]] is renamed "The Stinkbog." The launch edition's map shows the names of the remaining worlds: [[Fiesta de los Muertos]] is now the "Mystic Mesa," [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]] has become the "Iron Shell," and [[Olympus Maximus]] is now known as "Mount Elysium."<ref name="vnheard" /> Three other locations are underlined on the map: the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]," which seems to be the "mysterious sixth realm" mentioned in some of the promotional material, "Kung Foot Island," the location of the [[Kung Foot]] minigame, and the [[Cave of Bad Dreams]], a location from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' which has not yet been shown in any capacity.

== Soundtrack ==
The game's soundtrack has been expanded with 55 minutes of brand-new music.<ref name="vnheard" /> Original composer [[Christophe Héral]] returned to compose the score alongside Grant Kirkhope, famous for his musical work on the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Mario + Rabbids'' series.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

== Game editions ==
''Rayman Legends Retold'' is available for pre-order in three distinct editions:<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Standard Edition:''' Includes the base game and a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'' (supporting 4K resolution, 60 FPS, controller haptic feedback, and modern quality-of-life upgrades).
* '''Deluxe Edition:''' Includes the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', an in-game Art Gallery, and the Retro Pack (containing 4 costumes for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], and [[Grand Minimus]] inspired by [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]).
* '''Launch Edition:''' Includes a physical copy of the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', a printed map of the [[Glade of Dreams]], three lithographs, and a slipcase.

A Deluxe Upgrade Pack, containing the extra content in the Deluxe Edition, will also be made available. Pre-ordering any edition of the game awards the '''Hoodlum Havoc Pack''', which grants the player two costumes for [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] inspired by ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="official_page" />

== Reception ==
=== Reveal ===
''Retold'' received mixed to positive reactions upon being revealed, with criticism towards the decision to remake ''Legends'' after the franchise's near decade-long hiatus rather than making a brand new game or remaking an older game like ''[[Rayman 2]]'' or ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Some of the character redesigns were met with positivity, such as [[Barbara]]'s design in her first appearance in a 3D-style ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' game, while others have received criticism, most notably Rayman's separate eyes and [[Betilla]]'s more realistic, human-like design.

In contrast to the criticism, the visual quality, voice acting, cutscenes, new content and gameplay have received praise, with many expressing gratitude for [[Rayman]] still being relevant at [[Ubisoft]].

== Future ==
When asked why Ubisoft decided to remake ''Rayman Legends'', Rayman Brand Producer Loïc Gounon responded that they hoped the remake would “be the foundation for the future” of Rayman as an ongoing series.<ref>https://www.nintendolife.com/previews/hands-on-rayman-legends-retold-somehow-legends-returned-but-why</ref> A leaker who revealed the remake before the official announcement stated that development on "''Rayman 4''" (which was alluded to as a joke in ''[[Rayman 3]]'') will depend on how well ''Rayman Legends Retold'' performs financially.<ref>https://www.thegamer.com/rayman-4-reportedly-depends-on-legends-retold-sales-success/</ref>

This statement was met with criticism, with many citing it as an unfair business practice and putting the fate of the franchise solely on the fans, especially with [[Ubisoft]]'s past unrealistic expectations when it comes to sales.{{Citation needed}}

'''Barbara''' is a recurring playable character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], making her debut in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. She is the former princess of [[Teensies In Trouble]] and the first of ten princesses that [[Rayman]] and his friends must rescue in that game. She returns as a starting playable character in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''.

== Description ==
Barbara is a barbarian girl who becomes [[Rayman]]'s travel companion. Unlike most other female characters in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], Barbara is a [[human]]. In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', she wears a winged helmet, a green outfit consisting of a boobtube, skirt and trousers, tan-coloured furry boots, and a brown belt with a skull attached to it. She also has long, curly red hair, with two parts of it tied into ponytails at each side of her head, has one of her teeth missing, and a large scar across her face. Also unlike most characters in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], she carries a weapon - a double edged battle axe which she wields to dispatch enemies, but can also use as a board to slide on surfaces.

In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', Barbara is seen sporting a new look. The changes include changing her helmet with a hat accompanied with mechanical wings and goggles, having shorter, lighter hair, a teal crop top, different arm guards, a brown skirt with a belt and a compass buckle, brown pants, and different boots. Barbara also replaces her axe with a shovel. Players could change her outfit to her original one from ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', called "Classic Barbara" in this game.

== Role in the games ==
=== ''Rayman Legends'' ===
{{Quote|text=This small barbarian princess is a strong and fierce warrior. No one wields an axe quite like her: she can even glide along on it!|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Rayman Legends]]''}}

In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', Barbara is first encountered in a room in the [[Teensies In Trouble]] gallery in which [[Dungeon Dash]] is encountered. Once this level is cleared, she will be rescued and become playable, thus joining the heroes.

Barbara was first seen for a brief moment in a leaked trailer for the game that was discovered in April 2012, more than a month before the game was officially revealed at E3 in June 2012. A trailer introducing her was released in August 2012. At E3 in June 2013, Barbara makes an appearance in a CGI trailer for ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' made exclusively for the event, in which she rescues [[Rayman]] from the clutches of the [[Armored Toad]].

=== ''Rayman Adventures'' ===
{{Quote|text=This small barbarian princess is a strong and fierce warrior. No one wields an axe quite like her!|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]''}}

In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', Barbara's classic outfit could be purchased for 500 [[Gem (Rayman Adventures)|gems]].

{{Quote|text=This adventurer is the definition of girl power. She may have been a princess in the past, but she's long since abandoned her sheltered life for one full of danger and excitement. She's not afraid to get her hands, or her outfit, dirty when needed.|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]''}}

Her new adventurer outfit was unlocked by default.

In the fighting game ''[[Brawlhalla]]'', the Rayman Update patch added numerous skins, items, and effects to the game. One of these skins was Barbara for the character Brynn. She is considered an "Epic Crossover Skin," just like [[Globox]]. Like with all Epic Crossover Skins, Barbara comes with signature FX swaps, Legend Name and icon swaps, custom Lock-In animation, and two weapon skins which include her signature axe and [[Aurora]]'s sword which is now a spear. Barbara can be purchased for 300 Mammoth Coins.

The '''Grand Minimus''' are a tribe of [[Teensie]]s who first appear in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. They are the kings of the [[Teensie]] race, and oversee [[the Hall of Doors]], [[the Isle of Doors]] or the [[Teensie Circle]]s, depending on the version of the game. They are playable characters in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Kart]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and [[Rayman Legends Retold|its remake]], ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''.

==Description==
The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the sole king of the [[Teensie]]s. However, after [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] locked the Grand Minimus up in a small [[cage]] with three other [[Teensie]]s presumably of relation to the King (such as friends, advisors, relatives, etc.; their relation is never given) in [[the Woods of Light]], the [[Teensie]]s eventually came to forget which one of them was the King. In fact, not even the King himself could remember.

All of the Minimus wear refined green robes, and at least one has a tall crown on his head. As seen in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Grand Minimus have a talkative personality and enjoy gossiping about recent news. Also, it is seen in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that the Minimus have a taste for disco, and enjoy the company of a disco ball and many other disco-loving subjects in their chamber, dancing day and night.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', it is soon confirmed that the Grand Minimus are the guardians of [[the Hall of Doors]], assigned by [[Polokus]] himself after being created for that purpose. They are wise and powerful, though they seldom show it. Similar to [[Ly]] the Fairy, at least one member of the Grand Minimus is capable of creating [[Silver Lum]]s. One is used by the Grand Minimus in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', while a second is additionally used in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. As may be seen in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Grand Minimus also have the responsibility of guarding the [[Heart of the World]], which resides in their throne room.

==In ''Rayman 2''==
{{Quote|text=Splendid, [[Rayman]]! I'm King of the [[Teensie]]s. I congratulate you on your courage.|sign=Grand Minimus|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

[[File:GrandMinimus R2Model.png|thumb|right|120px|A Grand Minimus, as appearing in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.]]

The Grand Minimus make their debut appearance in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', when [[Rayman]] destroys the cage at the end of [[the Woods of Light]]. [[Rayman]] hopes to ask them as to the whereabouts of [[Ly]] the Fairy, but is unsuccessful as the Minimus is distracted by the fact that they are unable to agree on who the real king is. After repeatedly grabbing the single crown from each other's head and declaring to be king, [[Rayman]] gets frustrated and interrupts their clammor. Intimidated and worrisome as to [[Ly]]'s bad news, the Teensies hush immediately and hesitantly back away. The last Teensie standing forward is quickly handed the crown.

The king then gives [[Rayman]] the bad news about [[Ly]], but explains that [[Ly]] is being held nearby in [[the Fairy Glade]]. If [[Rayman]] has already collected five [[Yellow Lum]]s, he will have collected enough energy to revitalize the king's magic powers. However, if [[Rayman]] is missing just one [[Yellow Lum|Lum]], the king will send [[Rayman]] back to get the rest.

Magic restored, the king gives [[Rayman]] a good-bye speech before creating a [[Silver Lum]]. The [[Silver Lum]] drops down into a nearby abyss and explodes into a giant [[Spiral Door]]. [[Rayman]] leaps into the door and leaves the Teensies.

[[Rayman]] next encounters the Grand Minimus as he enters [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] level (between [[the Fairy Glade]] and [[the Marshes of Awakening]] in the PlayStation version). By now, the Grand Minimus have done some thinking, and have decided that all four would share being king. Standing in a line, each king would say a few sentences before walking to the end of the line as the next Teensie takes the crown and then takes his turn being king. Considering [[Rayman]] has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, the Grand Minimus open the doors to [[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]] ([[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]] in the PlayStation version). This sequence occurs again before [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] (PlayStation - after [[Whale Bay]]) and [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] (PlayStation - after [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] and after [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]).

In the PlayStation version, their dialogue is expanded and they give [[Rayman]] information on each upcoming Guardian of the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Masks]], as well as the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]' [[Robot Dinosaur]] in their final scene.

In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]], Grand Minimus are freed from [[cage]]s throughout the game.

One of the Grand Minimus is last seen in the final scene following [[the Crow's Nest]].

==In ''Rayman Revolution''==
[[File:TheMagicWell-RR-TheMinissaurusPlain.jpg|320px|thumb|right|A Grand Minimus by a [[Magic Well]].]]

The Grand Minimus plays a slightly different role in the PlayStation 2 remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. Following acquisition of the crown, the king explains that both [[Globox]] and [[Ly]] the Fairy were captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]] army. The Grand Minimus hasn't the slightest clue where [[Globox]] is, but believe that the [[Teensie]] at [[the Minisaurus Plain]]'s [[Teensie Circle]] knows where [[Ly]] was taken. Considering [[Rayman]] has five [[Yellow Lum]]s collected, the king produces what appears to be a [[Silver Lum]] and sends it towards [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] then excitedly learns the [[magic fist]] ability. The king hops onto a pedestal and produces a second [[Silver Lum]], which drops into a nearby void. The [[Silver Lum|Lum]] explodes and turns into a [[Spiral Door]]. After giving a farewell speech, the Grand Minimus sends [[Rayman]] off to [[the Front]].

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', three Grand Minimus attend to the three [[Teensie Circle]]s, and another three attend to the three [[Magic Well]]s. The one who attends to [[Teensie Circle|the Circle]] in [[Rainbow Creek]] is referred to as the “King of the Teensies” by the in-game instructions which appear when the player presses the Select button on the PlayStation 2 controller.

{{Quote|text=While these decrepit beings are senile to the point of having forgotten who is leader, they get along just fine when it comes to taking action and winning by whatever means necessary.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman M]]''}}

Two Grand Minimus participate in the races and battles of ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' as one of the five initial playable characters. Being that Teensies are considerably short, the two Teensies race by carrying one on top of the other. The manual for the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', the North American localisation of ''[[Rayman M]]'', offers the following description of the Grand Minimus:

<blockquote>'''Profession:''' Part-Time Kings. 
'''Likes:''' Acrobatics, occupying the throne, and important speeches to the masses. 
'''Dislikes:''' Not occupying the throne, coming in second, and each other's opposing ideas. 
'''Address:''' They've forgotten.</blockquote>

[[File:GrandMinimus R3Model.png|thumb|right|120px|A Grand Minimus, as appearing in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.]]

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Grand Minimus make an appearance at the end of [[the Fairy Council]]. [[Rayman]] chases [[André]] and eventually arrives at their throne room, only to find it full of dancing [[Teensie]]s and flashing disco lights. At the other end of the room, the Grand Minimus have [[Globox]] in their clutches. As [[Rayman]] approaches them, the Grand Minimus tell him that [[Globox]] cannot stay in the throne room for fear that [[André]] could escape. To save [[Globox]], the Grand Minimus open a portal to the [[Teensie Highway]] and explain to [[Rayman]] that he must take [[Globox]] to the [[Teensie doctor]] in [[Clearleaf Forest]], [[Otto Psi]]. ''[[Rayman 3]]'' was the first game to give the sovereign [[Teensie]]s the name “Grand Minimus”.

Later in the game, they also appear in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], where a king and two advisors warn [[Rayman]] about the [[Knaaren]], and in the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]]. In both levels, a king and two advisors drop down from any [[cage]] that [[Rayman]] destroys, leaving either [[Jewel|gems]] or a [[Laser-Washing Powder]] can.

The Grand Minimus makes a cameo appearance in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. Like several other recurring characters, he is seen briefly at the beginning of the game, when [[Rayman]] frees him from the [[Agony Jails]], where he has been imprisoned by the [[Rabbid]]s.

{{Quote|text=Oh, Grand Minimus! Keeper King of the [[Teensie|Teensy]] kinder... how's it tickling?!|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

The Grand Minimus is a major character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He makes his first appearance during the cinematic introduction of the game, taking a nap with his friends [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], the [[Goth Teensy]] and the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], and making grumbling noises while sleeping on [[Globox]]'s back. The noises of the group annoy their neighbours, the [[Livid Dead]], and they lock them in [[cage]]s at [[the Snoring Tree]]. Weirdly, after that the Grand Minimus is not seen, and is replaced by a regular [[Green Teensy]], becoming an unlockable character who is unlocked once 70 [[Electoon]]s have been collected.

An undead [[Teensie]] with a gnawed crown, [[the First King]], also makes an appearance. The [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] identifies him as the first Grand Minimus.

The Grand Minimus's design in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' remains mostly the same as in previous [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games. Like with other [[Teensie]]s in this game, his eyes are bigger and his teeth are made more realistic. Unlike in the original game, he has full lines of dialogue.

==Trivia==
*Of all the characters in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the Grand Minimus underwent the greatest voice change between the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. In the PlayStation version, they sound like wise old men, while in ''[[Rayman Revolution|Revolution]]'', they have high-pitched, squeaky voices.
*The song that plays when encountering the Grand Minimus in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' includes ceaseless murmurs by the [[Teensie]]s, subtly indicating the talkative personality further explored in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. These sounds are not present in the Nintendo 64 version of the track due to audio limitations.
*In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Grand Minimus [[Teensie]]s have washed-out blue eyes.
*''[[Rayman Legends]]'' reveals that the Grand Minimus [[Teensie]]s are not the only type of [[Teensie|Teensy]] kings, as many others can be found imprisoned in [[cage]]s.
*In a very early demo for ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', Grand Minimus has no crown. In the final game he has a crown, but numerous artwork for it depicts him without one. This implies that he was originally going to lack his crown, but it ended up being added anyway, possibly as a last minute addition.

'''Globox''' is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], second only to [[Rayman]] himself in his prominence. Globox acts as a major ally in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and is a playable character in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. He is [[Rayman]]'s best friend and has been since before the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

==Description==
===Appearance===
Globox resembles a large, fat amphibian, who is blue-green in colour, with a pale yellow belly and hands. While the rest of his body is fat and heavy, he has long thin arms. His webbed feet and small eyes float separately from his body. He is noticeably taller than most of the inhabitants of the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]], with the exception of such characters as [[Ly]] the Fairy and [[Clark]] the Giant. Globox has an extremely large mouth with a long purple tongue, he often uses it to store things such as [[Silver Lum]]s, and, accidentally, [[André]]. [[Baby Globox|His children]] have the same ability, as was shown late in the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]''; one of his sons swallowed [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth Mask of Polokus]] after finding it in [[the Iron Mountains]] ([[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''), then he gave the mask to [[Rayman]], once the latter had freed him and his siblings from the [[Spyglass Pirate]]'s [[Robot Dinosaur]].

In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Globox's appearance was changed to suit the preferences of the Japanese market.<ref>Ubi Soft Divertissements inc. (via archive.org), ''Dossier spécial - La localisation chez Ubi Soft !'', https://web.archive.org/web/20010217082924/http://ubisoft.qc.ca/presse/presentations/localisation_p4.htm</ref> He is scaleless and his mouth is completely pink.

Globox used to be red, but one day while he was eating berries, he mistook a [[blue mosquito]] for a berry, and ate it. From inside Globox's belly, the insect called for help, and hundreds of other [[blue mosquito]]es came to sting Globox. When they left him, Globox's red skin was covered in painful blue welts. These eventually seeped into his skin, turning it blue.

In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', along with [[Rayman]] and [[Barbara]], Globox sports a new adventurer outfit. He wears a sleeveless green coat over a buttoned white shirt, with the top unbuttoned. He also wears a small brown satchel, gray pants held up by a brown belt with a gold buckle, and brown shoes.

</gallery>

===Abilities===
Physically, Globox is quite strong, and provided that he has the confidence too (under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''), he can inflict a strong blow on enemies, namely [[Hoodlum]]s. Unfortunately, he is allergic to [[plum juice]]; when [[André]] was inside his stomach, he would force Globox to drink some, then it would have various effects on Globox, such as getting drunk, and burping out giant bouncy bubbles. While under the influence of [[plum juice]] in [[Clearleaf Forest]], Globox realises that he can [[Swimming|swim]], and even manages to swim up an entire waterfall while avoiding [[Piranha#In Rayman 3 and its spin-offs|piranhas]]. [[Plum juice]] can also give him an ability to fly, or float, into the air, allowing him to avoid such terrains in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that would prove difficult. This was most likely to have been inspired by this hovering technique in ''[[Rayman M]]'', it also may be the inspiration for characters getting [[Bubble|bubblized]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games, and all versions of ''[[Rayman M]]'', it is suggested that Globox can run as fast as the others, despite his weight, but elsewhere he tends to walk slowly in a nervous state. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', Globox can use the ability to glide without inflating and just by flapping his arms in the air.

Globox also has the ability to [[Rain Dance|form rainclouds]], albeit small ones that draw enough rain to either grow a [[plant]] quickly, put out fires, or rust a [[Robo-Pirate]] in self defence. Most other species would need to use a [[Rain Mask]], which one of [[Baby Globox|Globox's children]] gives to [[Rayman]] at [[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

===Personality===
Globox is generally a warm and friendly character and a proud father of more than [[Baby Globox|650 children]], though simple and very shy. Having been captured at least once in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', he has grown an irrational fear of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and often when he senses that they are near, he will run away and hide (notable in [[the Canopy]]), until he is sure that [[Rayman]] had destroyed them all. Similarly, he displays this fear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', this time of the [[Hoodlum]]s and their attacks, unless he is under the influence of [[plum juice]].

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Globox speaks in broken English and has a deep voice, but in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', his English has improved and his voice has attained a higher pitch.

Globox's personality changes between ''[[Rayman 2]]'', ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. While he remains [[Rayman]]'s daft sidekick in these games, in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' he is portrayed as a dim but loveable and well-meaning character, whereas in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' he seems more articulate but less intelligent, and acts rude at times. While very cowardly in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', in Globox can become very rash while under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', yelling drunken taunts at the [[Hoodlum]]s and sometimes standing defiantly in their line of fire (though he is never hurt by this). In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', his personality changes almost completely, acting more dimwitted, cheerful, and no longer cowardly.

==Biography==
Globox and his family were created by [[Polokus]] as part of the non-magical People, as a result of the spirit's sense of humour. He was originally named "Globber", a name that has now been passed on to [[Globber (baby Globox)|one of his children]] in order to rename himself. Together with his wife, [[Uglette]], he is the proud father of at least [[Baby Globox|650 small children]]. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it was revealed that he and his family live in a tree house near [[the Canopy]], though in the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', they live in a secret location hidden in [[the Woods of Light]], named [[Globox Village]].

During the [[Rayman 2 (early production)|early production of ''Rayman 2'']], Globox originally had 35 sons and one of them was named [[Globs]].<ref>Rayman2.com (via archive.org), ''Season of Senses, 5th moon'', http://web.archive.org/web/20000303171408/http://www.rayman2.com/en/story/story_txt1.html</ref>

==In ''Rayman 2''==
{{Quote|text=After, came the adorable Globox and his family. Aren't they cute? The wise sages don't know what [[Polokus]] had in mind when creating them, but he truly used his sense of humour for inspiration.|sign=[[The Knowledge of the World]]|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

{{Quote|text=Adorable, if a little simple, Globox is [[Rayman]]’s best friend. He has the power to [[Rain Dance|create forceful little rain storms]] which can be used to put out fires or make [[plant]]s grow. With the aid of his mate [[Uglette]], he has produced a prodigious family: [[Baby Globox|more than 650 children]] at the last count!|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

Globox makes his first appearance in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. His story, which begins before the game starts, is detailed in the game's manual. When the [[Robo-Pirate]]s invade the [[Glade of Dreams]], [[Rayman]] and Globox, along with their friends, join forces in rebellion against the enemy. One day, the heroes travel to [[the Great Forest]] to ambush the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]]. Globox helps by causing [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] to rest with his [[Rain Dance]]. [[Rayman]] praises his efforts, but loses his powers when the pirates destroy the [[Heart of the World]], and is soon captures. This leaves Globox with no choice but to flee in hopes that he might find [[Ly]] the Fairy and ask for further instructions. [[Ly]] gives Globox a [[Silver Lum]], and instructs him to surrender himself to the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]].

The game opens in the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', as Globox is thrown into the same cell as [[Rayman]]. Globox gives him the [[Silver Lum]] he received from [[Ly]], which allows [[Rayman]] to shoot with his [[magic fist]]. [[Rayman]] smashes a [[Sparadrap|metal grate]] covering an air vent, and together, he and Globox go down the chute. However, Globox knocks [[Rayman]] off the edge, and they become separated. When [[Rayman]] lands in [[the Woods of Light]], he meets three [[baby Globox]]es, and admits to them that he was separated from their father. Later, in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], [[Rayman]] meets [[Ssssam]], who informs him that Globox has been recaptured by the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] and taken beyond [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]].

When [[Rayman]] reaches [[the Canopy]], he finds Globox imprisoned in a [[laser]] holding cell, near a sign referring to him as 'Public Enemy #2'. [[Rayman]] frees Globox, who joins him for the remainder of the level. He puts his [[Rain Dance]] to good use, growing helpful [[plant]]s, putting out fires and short-circuiting electric [[laser]] fences. However, upon the sight of a [[warship]], Globox runs back the way they came into a cave. [[Rayman]] goes back to reassure his friend that there's nothing to be scared of, and then, Globox remembers to give him a [[Silver Lum]] which upgrades the power of his [[magic fist]]. At the end of the level, Globox takes leave of [[Rayman]], insisting that he must go and find his wife, [[Uglette]].

Unfortunately, Globox gets captured again near the end of the game when the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] enslave his children. As explained by a crying [[Uglette]], he tried to fight them to protect his family, but he got overwhelmed and taken as prisoner. Later, he is used used as live bait to lure [[Rayman]] to [[the Crow's Nest]]. Before [[Razorbeard]] can kill Globox, [[Rayman]] shows up and the heroes get shot, but the shot misses and hits the pole that hangs Globox upside down. Despite that, Globox he insists that [[Rayman]] should carry on fighting the [[Grolgoth]] rather than worrying about him. It is unknown how he got down after [[the Crow's Nest]] fell apart, but whatever happens, he ends up back on the ground safely by the time he and his friends mourn their hero after the ''[[Buccaneer]]'' explodes, until [[Rayman]] turns up alive.

==In ''Rayman 2 Forever''==
Globox appears in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', although his role is drastically decreased. He is still captured at the start of the game and gives [[Rayman]] the [[Silver Lum]], however he does not appear again until the end, where he has a cameo appearance celebrating [[Rayman]]'s victory.

==In ''Rayman Revolution''==
Though Globox's role in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' is similar to that in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', a few new elements were added. In ''[[Rayman Revolution|Revolution]]'', Globox does not grant [[Rayman]] the ability to shoot his [[magic fist]], but instead simply allows [[Rayman]] to [[Telescopic fist|punch]]. Globox's [[Globox's House|house]], children, and relation with [[Uglette]] are depicted in a larger scale; [[Bimbette|one of his daughters]] is an important character later in the game, [[Uglette]] is constantly seen worrying about Globox, and his cliffside house's acres of land are the setting for the middle third of the game. Globox joins [[Rayman]] on a few occasions in a fashion similar to [[Clark]] or Globox's role in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox must be taken past [[Whale Bay]] to use his [[Rain Dance]] so as to enable entry to [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].

==In ''Rayman M'', ''Rayman Arena'' and ''Rayman Rush''==
{{Quote|text=Had to overcome his shyness and fear (maybe he had therapy?) to risk his neck in this competition. While he might appear a bit awkward and clumsy, behind that oversized body lies a certain dexterity and fighting spirit.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman M]]''}}

Globox is one of the five playable characters that are initially available in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''.

The manual for the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' offers the following description of Globox:

<blockquote>'''Profession:''' Model Father. 
'''Likes:''' Sleeping under trees, playing with his [[Baby Globox|boys]], and rock music. 
'''Dislikes:''' Danger, being woken up suddently by [[Tily]], and journeys across the world. 
'''Address:''' [[Globox's House|Third cave on the left in the magic mountains]].</blockquote>

Several other [[skin]]s appear for Globox in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]''.

==In ''Rayman 3''==
{{Quote|text=[[Rayman]]’s best friend has at last got the role of his life: not only does he mistakenly swallow [[André]], the chief of the [[black Lum]]s, but he’s also chased by the [[Hoodlum]] army, who’re trying to get their boss back. A real character part!|sign=Manual (UK version)|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

{{Quote|text=[[Rayman]]'s ever-faithful partner, the bumbling Globox, incurred the [[Hoodlum]]s' wrath when he swallowed their almighty leader, the [[André|Dark Lum Lord]]. Fortunately, this rotund sidekick's belly is the ideal prison to keep the [[André|Lum Lord]] at bay. There's just one catch - Globox needs [[plum juice]] to quell the [[André|Lum Lord]]'s tantrums, and will risk blowing the whole adventure just for a keg of foamy [[plum]] goodness.|sign=Manual (US version)|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Globox remains physically similar to his original appearance, though had become a comedic sidekick for this next appearance. Globox plays a major plot role, having accidentally swallowed [[André]] and having to find a [[Teensie doctor|doctor]] who would find a way to remove [[André]] from Globox during the first half of the game. During this time, Globox is forced by [[André]] to drink [[plum juice]], despite his allergies, and during a somewhat drunken state he gains special abilities for short periods of time that are needed to progress [[Rayman]] through the game or move Globox forward through the level (by floating). Through the second half he plays a lesser role, though tends to follow [[Rayman]] on their journey, occasionally bringing up the odd surprise. He is notably voice acted by actor John Leguizamo.

==In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3''==
In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], Globox is only seen in the introduction and ending scenes. As in [[Rayman 3|the main version of the game]] he swallows a [[Black Lum]], although the circumstances surrounding this are not explored, except for the fact that he did it to save the [[Teensie]]s. He then runs away from [[Rayman]], unable to keep still, and [[Rayman]] spends the rest of the game looking for him. At some point, Globox is captured by [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] and the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, who are looking for the [[Black Lum]]. [[Rayman]] breaks into the [[Pirate Stronghold]] and saves him, at which point he spits out the [[Black Lum]] and all is well. [[Rayman]] and Globox then return to the [[Baby Globox]]es, where Globox tells a story that implies it was all because of him that the [[Black Lum]] was defeated. When [[Rayman]] complains, Globox admits that [[Rayman]] "did help a bit", to which [[Rayman]] replies "Thanks pa, we knew you could do it".

==In ''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''==
{{Quote|text=This guy is big! Really big! Unfortunately, he doesn't know what "big" means. All he knows is that "Shadows are scary" and [[Rayman]] is his best friend. His simple life got a lot more complicated when he swallowed the [[Black Lum|Dark Lum]] [[André]]. Now he's got a talking tummy ache and a desperate yearning for [[Plum juice]], which makes him go berserk!|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''}}

In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows [[Rayman]] through much of the game, similar to ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox is also a playable character in some levels. Oftentimes there will be a puzzle-like sequence of events that requires the player to use both [[Rayman]] and Globox to move forward in the level. They must reach the exit together to complete the stage, as they will refuse to finish the level without the other. As [[André]] has been consumed once more, Globox can use the effects of [[plum juice]] to do certain things to move on in the stage, such as breaking metal bars. Without [[plum juice]], he will get scared if a [[Hoodlum]] is too close to him, but with it, he can move slightly faster and defeat enemies in one hit with a slap. Since he is unable to jump, he needs help to reach an alternate path. Globox cannot die by falling into lava or water or get killed by enemies, since he will run from them without [[plum juice]]. He does not have a health bar of his own, meaning that a Game Over only happens if [[Rayman]] dies.

Within the game's story, Globox goes missing when he begins to have bad dreams about swallowing [[André]]. He is captured first by the [[Hoodlum]]s, managing to save himself, and then by [[Bégoniax]], from whom he is rescued by [[Rayman]].

[[Rayman]] and Globox then go on a mission to stop the [[Hoodlum]]s creating a cloned [[Reflux]], however it is eventually revealed that [[André]] has taken over the body of Globox, having left part of his spirit inside when he was previously swallowed. [[André]] takes off in Globox's body, causing [[Rayman]] to pursue him. [[Rayman]] eventually defeats the cloned [[Reflux]], freeing Globox from [[André]]'s control in the process, and the two heroes go home, with [[Rayman]] commenting that they "make a pretty good team".

Globox makes an appearance as a playable character in ''[[Rayman Kart]]''. He is unlocked from the start and his special power is to drop three [[baby Globox]]es on the track.

==In ''Rayman Origins'' and its spin-offs==
{{Quote|text=A quiet force within the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]], Globox is never to be underestimated. Always ready to lend a hand to his friends and adversaries alike, his mastery of Fung-Ku and etiquette comes down to the classic Gimme Five move, a solid smack that can knock you right out of your boxer shorts! This glorious goober* is, nevertheless, everything you could want in a friend. Always up for a little fooding, fighting, and power-napping − and always in good spirits − Globox is second to none when it comes to romping, bouncing, and bubble-ising baddies. The mystery surrounding how the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]’s all-time undefeated champion snoozer became blue is a matter of some speculation among the magic peoples. The other [[Red Wizard]]s of his Vubooduboo-practising clan whisper of venomous bubeastietubbis, while the [[Teensie]]s favor an epic tale of high-comedy featuring Globox’s fondness for sacred [[plum juice]].
*Goober is a term of endearment that comes from the ancient Gladeish verb “to goub,” which involves dancing while smiling sheepishly, exposing 'the goubs' in one's teeth.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

{{Quote|text=The one and only Globox! Biggest glute in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]! Champion of snoring songs; you honor me with your noisy naps! Not sure the neighbors are so psyched.. [[Livid Dead]] have no taste in music! Tickle them to death!|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]}}

Globox next appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The trailer shows [[Rayman]]'s first meeting with Globox, prior to the events of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. It is said that Globox is [[Rayman]]'s ‘double, his blood brother, his id’. ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' reveals that Globox is one of a group of beings known as the [[Red Wizard]]s; like the other wizards, Globox was originally red, but he turned blue after being attacked by [[blue mosquito]]es involving a berry picking incident. [[Red Globox]] is also an unlockable character in [[Rayman Origins|Origins]]. Globox can [[Helicopter|glide]] by flapping his arms, unlike in earlier games when he had to inflate in order to 'float'. ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' is also the first game where Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] claims that Globox is, or has, the "biggest glute in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]" when that name was used in reference to [[bird]]-like [[Glute|creatures]] that only physically appeared in the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|beta]] of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. This has led to the common misconception that the [[glute]]s and [[Globox's species]] are one and the same. This misconception has even made its way into the book ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', which refers to both Globox and the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] as glutes.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 10 - Rayman's World</ref> In reality, however, it is more likely that the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] is literally referring to Globox’s glutes, which are a group of muscles that make up the buttocks (meaning that he would essentially be claiming that Globox has the biggest butt in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]).

'''Rayman''' is the main protagonist of [[Rayman (series)|the video game series of the same name]]. Rayman was originally created in the early 1990s by French video game developer [[Michel Ancel]]. The character made his debut in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], published by [[Ubisoft]] in 1995. With his trademark lack of limbs and [[Helicopter|helicopter hair]], Rayman has become a popular and recognizable video game character, and [[Rayman (series)|the series]] has continued to grow and develop across numerous platforms up to the present day.

==Description==
===Appearance===
Rayman was originally designed to simply be an athletic character with a full body, but because of complications rendering on game consoles, he was left without arms, legs and a neck – his hands, feet and head float around his body. The manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' provides an in-universe explanation for Rayman's limblessness: the lack of [[Lum]]s had the consequence of preventing the creation of his limbs. He has a huge, round nose and orange hair divided into two fronds (three in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]). He has the ability to use his hair as a [[helicopter]], which lets him glide across large spaces and make soft landings. His eyes are dark blue in colour, though in most official artwork they are coloured black; two pictures in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] showed him with lighter blue eyes. While Rayman is unique in most of the games, other members of [[Rayman's species|his unnamed species]] are seen in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] - such as [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the Magician]], [[Tarayzan]], [[the Musician]] and the Musician's wife and child - and in the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games.

Rayman is almost always seen in white gloves and wearing a purple hoodie with [[Rayman's symbol|a mysterious white ring in the center]], through which he gains new powers from [[Betilla]] the Fairy. [[Rayman's symbol|The symbol]] can also absorb the [[Silver Lum]]s created by the [[Fairy|fairies]], and magically open the pillars containing the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Up until ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he wore a red neckerchief, which was then replaced with a red hood. He also wears shoes that are typically yellow and white, though the actual designs have changed throughout [[Rayman (series)|the series]]. In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', he wears different clothing that has raised a few questions about his ‘limblessness’, as he sometimes looks as if he has knees, such as the [[Skin#Rayman Raving Rabbids|disco costume]] with its trousers/pants. From ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' onward, his ''[[Rayman 3]]'' attire has been used, but with a slightly different hood and shoes. In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', he wears a new attire. He wears a red bandanna around his hair, a sleeveless brown coat unbuttoned around the bottom alongside his red hood, revealing a white shirt, and has a brown belt around his waist with a gold buckle. His gloves, which are now brown and fingerless, and his shoes are the same as the ones that [[Assassin Ray]] wears.

===Abilities===
[[File:R2 GlitchKegFly.jpeg|thumb|320px|left|Rayman carrying a [[keg]].]]
[[File:Rayman Bowling level 2 Classic.jpg|thumb|right|class=sprite|Rayman playing bowling in ''[[Rayman Bowling]]''.]]

Rayman is very athletic and shows great gymnastic skills, especially since being given the power to [[Running|run]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], and from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' onwards. He is able to scale wall sides, kick enemies and do monkey bars, and some of his gymnastic skills include handstands, somersaults and back flips. Rayman is also strong enough to carry things such as [[baby Globox]]es, [[Magic Sphere]]s, [[plum]]s and [[keg]]s. He can run while carrying an object in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' if he purchases an optional upgrade at the [[Magic Well]].

Because of his limbless nature, Rayman has the ability, known as the [[telescopic fist]], to shoot his fists as a projectile. The power and range of his punches can be increased by charging them. Rayman can also do this with his feet and throw his torso downwards with the [[bodyshot]]. His body parts appear to be sentient, since his hands can move and think on their own, as shown in the ending of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where his shoe gravitates towards him, and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', where his hands wander off to scare a [[red Lum]].

One of his most iconic powers is his [[Helicopter|helicopter hair]] which allows him to glide short distances. Although he cannot fly on his own, Rayman can ascend upwards if he glides on an air current. A temporary upgrade called the [[super helicopter]] allows Rayman to fly indefinitely for an entire level.

Rayman has magic abilities as well. He can shoot orbs of energy out of his hands with the [[magic fist]], and similarily to his regular fist, it can be charged to increase the power output. By hitting a [[purple Lum]] with either his [[magic fist]] or [[telescopic fist]], he can create a tether of energy with his [[grappling fist]]. In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], while Rayman does not have access to the [[magic fist]], he can shoot [[yellow Lum]]s as an attack after collecting them.

Rayman begins as a very poor [[Swimming|swimmer]]; in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] and the Game Boy Advance adaptations of ''[[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', he loses a [[life]] the instant he falls into any body of liquid. By the time of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', he has developed this new skill, although all he can do in this game is a simple dog-paddle. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', he is taught to swim by [[Murfy]] and a [[baby Globox]] at the beginning of the game. In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he is a far more capable [[Swimming|swimmer]]; he can now use his [[helicopter]] hair to propel himself through the water, he can perform athletic underwater backflips, and he no longer seems to require any [[Blue Lum]]s or [[air bubble]]s to breathe beneath the surface. In both ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', he can [[Swimming|swim]] without needing any air like in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', and without use of his [[helicopter]] hair like in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

In ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', Rayman is equipped with the [[Blaster]] and [[Plunger Guard]] weapons, and possesses the ability to [[dash]] into his enemies.

===Personality===
[[File:R1-Grimace.gif|frame|left|class=sprite|Rayman making a [[grimace]].]]
[[File:Jano Grimace R3 GBA.PNG|frame|class=sprite|right|Rayman taunting [[Jano]].]]

Rayman's true personality is not explored deeply in [[Rayman (series)|the series]], though most of the time he is a cheerful character with a good sense of humour. He is also very helpful, and is willing to take on whatever challenges face him for the sake of the safety and harmony of his world. Sometimes he can be a little childish, especially in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], as he pulls [[grimace]]s as a form of defense. According to the now defunct '''Rayman's World''' website, he is brave, funny and also highly close to nature. In one interview, developer Natalie Paccard discusses the development of Rayman's personality between the two games: '[[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] was a platform game, ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is an action game. The universe has also evolved a lot, and so has the character. ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is a bit older, able to do more things, and loves a good fight. He is less childish. The game itself includes more action and more tricks.’ In later games, Rayman becomes somewhat self-absorbed, especially in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', as the [[Rabbid]]s start to treat him like a celebrity during his captivity, though he is seen remembering and worrying about the [[baby Globox]]es that he left behind. That however seems to be put behind him as the [[Rabbid]]s continue to harass him in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party]]''. It is revealed through interviews with [[Michel Ancel]] that Rayman was meant to be a bit of a show-off who does not take himself too seriously. This aspect of the character was supposedly overlooked during ''[[Rayman 2]]'' because of [[Ubisoft]]'s focus on the environments of the game. It was in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that [[Ubisoft]] tried to show Rayman's true personality, giving him an updated look to match his newfound attitude and charisma. A ''[[Rayman 3]]'' press release stated that ‘Like his core gaming audience, Rayman as a character has matured and now has a wilder edge, only hinted at in the earlier games.’

[[File:Shoot for the Stars 21.jpg|320px|thumb|right|Rayman relaxing with his friends.]]

However, in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Rayman seems to have recovered part of his childish personality; he bears a more joyful, carefree and impulsive attitude, though he keeps the heroic spirit that characterized him in previous games. Rayman appears to enjoy a good joke, as the description of [[Raybox]] states he painted his skin with the help of the [[Big Mama|Death Fairy]] to prank [[Globox]]. While the trailers and other commercial media described him and [[Globox]] as the "New Crazy", [[Michel Ancel]] explains Rayman and [[Globox]]'s personality: 'They're the kind of characters who look... stupid, really, but they're not stupid, just simple. And all they really want to do is just focus on doing their job, no matter what.' When ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' was still developed as a prequel, the newborn Rayman was intended to bear a more immature, confused and unintelligent personality, blowing [[Betilla]]'s skirt with his [[propeller]] hair and annoying the magic people; the game was initially focused on Rayman and [[Globox]]'s personalities and how they evolved over time to become the heroes of the [[Glade of Dreams]]. However, these aspects were scrapped when the game became a sequel.

In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', he is seen with a mostly unchanged personality from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', although it is presented in a slightly more serious tone.

In ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', Rayman’s personality seems to take inspiration from many of his titles. His more exaggerated expressions are likely inspired by his appearances in the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games, while his slight vanity may have been taken from games like ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. His wariness towards the [[Rabbid]]s is especially put on display here (even after he teams up with [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]]), fueled by what they did to him during the first three games of the ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' series. Nonetheless, by the end of the adventure, he comes to the conclusion that not all [[Rabbid]]s are bad, even deciding to stay at the [[Space Opera Network]] to work alongside them.

Rayman also appears to like several sports, such as basketball. In [[Rayman 1|the original game]] and ''[[Rayman 2]]'' he will sometimes take his body off and play with it like a basketball whenever he is left idle. Also, in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], if the player decides to continue at the "Game Over" screen, Rayman will throw his body through a basketball net and catch it. In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he seems to also show interest in soccer, as when he is left idle, he kicks his body around and can also kick [[Tortoise|turtles]] and [[plum]]s. Rayman also participates in [[Kung Foot]], a variation of soccer, in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and ''[[Brawlhalla]]''. Other sports that Rayman appears to like are golf, bowling and karting, as ''[[Rayman Golf]]'', ''[[Rayman Bowling]]'' and ''[[Rayman Kart]]'' suggest. One of Rayman's hobbies is painting, which was revealed through the [[Picture City]] loading screen in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] and the intro of ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]''.

===Creation===
[[File:RaymanLimbs.jpg|thumb|320px|left|An early sketch of Rayman.]]
[[File:Concept art Hamac.png|thumb|320px|right|A drawing of Rayman relaxing on a hammock.]]

Rayman is the creation of French video game developer [[Michel Ancel]], who was born in 1972. Around 1980, the eight-year-old [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] began playing video games. Five years later, he began to create his own simple logic games, featuring characters that he invented himself. He often sketched character concepts on table corners, and around 1992, he came up with his favourite character so far: Rayman. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] left Rayman without any arms, legs or neck, making the character very easy to animate, as well as opening up unique gameplay possibilities, such as the [[telescopic fist]]. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] worked as a graphic artist and programmer on a string of Lankhor and [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]] games in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1992, he and a small team of developers began production on [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)|a Super Nintendo game]] starring his Rayman character. Eventually it was decided to scrap this project, and rework it into [[Rayman 1|an Atari Jaguar game]], which was eventually released in 1995. By the end of the game's development cycle, the team had grown to contain dozens of members.

===Inspiration===
A number of interviews with [[Ubisoft]] developers were posted on official websites in the period leading up to the release of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. In one interview, Rayman creator [[Michel Ancel]] revealed the inspirations behind the character. He states ''[[Rayman 2]]'' was inspired by Russian, Chinese and Celtic stories that he read as a child. These elements form the ‘fantastic background’ which comprises the [[Glade of Dreams]], but ‘a more contemporary and cartoonish touch’ has been added.<ref>[http://uk.ign.com/articles/1999/07/07/behind-rayman-2 ''Behind Rayman 2'', IGN]</ref> [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] goes on to say that the concept of the game's world is similar to that of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Crystal The Dark Crystal]'', which shares ‘its magic and its Celtic universe’. The cartoonish aspects were inspired by the works of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex_Avery Tex Avery]. [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] states that ‘Rayman is a true high-performance hero who keeps a good sense of humour like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones Indiana Jones]. Rayman is a rebel, fighting against mighty bad guys like in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars]'' or ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hood Robin Hood]''’. This suggests that the villains of [[Michel Ancel|Ancel's]] [[Rayman (series)|Rayman games]] – [[Mr Dark]] and [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] – may have been inspired by the likes of Darth Vader and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The character of Indiana Jones is also referenced by Rayman's co-creator [[Frédéric Houde]] and [[Rayman 1|the original game]] co-designer Serge Hascoët. According to a 2011 interview with the director of the [[Pix'n Love]] magazine (which has published numerous [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'']]-related articles), [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] took the name ‘Rayman’ from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_%28graphics%29 ray-tracing] software which [[Ubisoft]] happened to be using during the development of [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

===Rayman's origins===
[[File:RaymanOrigins 012.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Rayman is created by [[Betilla]] the Fairy.]]
[[File:RaymanOrigins 009.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Rayman after he has been created.]]

Several conflicting accounts have been given for Rayman's origins. During the development of [[Rayman 1|the original game]], the developers considered a story in which a ten-year-old boy named Jimmy created a world called Hereitscool inside his computer, and became Rayman once he was sucked into it. This idea was quickly abandoned. When [[Rayman 1|the original game]] was released in 1995, Rayman's backstory was left ambiguous, although he already appears to be an established hero within his world by the beginning of the game. The manual states that he is "the guardian of [[Glade of Dreams|this world]]". The manual of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' does however contain a different account of Rayman's origins. It tells of Rayman's first appearance in the [[Glade of Dreams]], sometime before the events of [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. In this version of the story, he is discovered by fishermen, who for some reason does not seem to have encountered [[Rayman's species|his species]] before.

{{Quote|text=Rayman is a unique character of unknown origin.

No wise man or magician can say by what twist of fate or whim of the gods Rayman came to appear at the [[Glade of Dreams]].

All we know of him comes from the fishermen on [[the Sea of Lums]]. After a particularly stormy night they found him sleeping peacefully in the shade of a palm tree. Frightened by this strange creature from the sea, they called on the people of the forest, the skies and the waters for help. And the sun had not yet reached the zenith when a host of beings, each one more bizarre than the next, came tumbling over the violet sand dunes. They watched him for a long time. “What kind of a man can he be who has neither legs nor arms?”, they asked one another. “Can he possibly be alive?” wondered one of them when Rayman stretched and yawned loudly.

It didn't take Rayman long to convince the people of the [[Glade of Dreams]] of his good intentions. His energy and good humour, his fantastical powers and love of life and nature won over even the most distrustful of creatures. And when he triumphed over the evil [[Mr Dark|Mister Dark]], the truth was undeniable: Rayman was the bravest of them all, the ideal hero, the man for whom friendship and laughter are more important than anything else, for whom the greatest victory is measured by the extent of the celebrations that follow it.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

A revised origin story for Rayman was revealed at the E3 expo of 2010, when [[Ubisoft]] showed a trailer for the upcoming game ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The trailer showed the creation of Rayman by [[Betilla]] the [[fairy]]. At this point in its development, ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' was intended as a two-player episodic downloadable prequel to the series, but it was eventually retooled into a four-player sequel with a retail release.

{{Quote|text=Long ago, [[Pink Plant Woods|the Primordial Forest]], deep and mysterious, witnessed the birth of a man... a vegetable... no, no, no: a thingamajig. Conjured from the magnificent [[Moons|moonbeams]] of the second summer solstice, woven together by us, the [[nymph]]s, destined to preserve the equilibrium of the sacred universe, the one we call: Rayman!|sign=E3 2010 trailer|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

A final, slightly modified version of Rayman's origin story was eventually offered on the official ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' website in November 2011, and can also be found in the game's manual.

{{Quote|text=When [[Polokus|the Creator]] had his very [[First Bad Dream|first bad dream]], the [[nymph]]s gathered to invoke a being of light capable of saving [[Glade of Dreams|our world]]: a creature both agile and carefree, as tenacious as he is hilarious, destined to crack up the Creator with his heroic antics and stop [[Jano|the nightmare]]!

Unfortunately, although not surprisingly, our bedazzling and bodacious [[nymph]]s were distracted by some [[Zombie Chicken]]s on their way to [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s sacred snoring grounds, and they lost a sack of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|lums]] chasing the crazy creatures over a cliff. Thus, they arrived late and with a lot less illumination.

In the end, Rayman was born with a few fewer limbs, which as it turned out, made him a whole lot more limber!
|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

A notable difference from the scene shown in the announcement trailer for the game is that [[Betilla]] is no longer the only [[fairy]] creating Rayman. It is not specified whether this story is intended to replace or complement the one from the ''[[Rayman 2]]'' manual. It conflicts with the events of the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'' game]], where [[Betilla]] introduces herself to Rayman as if she was meeting him for the first time, as well as with those of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where Rayman and [[Jano]] do not appear to have met before. It does not explain the existence of [[Tarayzan]] either.

Additionally, this story contradicts that of the origins of the same [[Zombie Chicken]]s which, according to the manual of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and their in-game description in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', were created because of the damages the [[Robo-Pirate]]s have caused when invading the [[Glade of Dreams]], and therefore would not have existed yet at the time of Rayman's birth.

[[File:Bald Rayman with wife.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Rayman with [[Raynette|his wife]], before he gained hair and became estranged from her.]]

The PlayStation Vita version of the game contains two mosaics which can be viewed when the player collects enough [[relic]]s. One of these mosaics tells a story about Rayman's past. Long ago, Rayman was completely bald, and had a [[Raynette|wife or girlfriend]] of [[Rayman's species|his own species]]. One night, as they slept together in a forest, a colony of tiny blonde hair creatures, named [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], crept up on Rayman and fused themselves into his head. Rayman's [[Raynette|female companion]], frightened by this strange turn of events, attempted to cut Rayman's hair with a pair of scissors. The terrified hairs pulled at Rayman's head, forcing him to flee, and he fell over the edge of a cliff, apparently to his doom; however, he was saved by his new hair, which gave him the ability to fly like a [[helicopter]].

Since the backstory conflicts with other stories of Rayman's origin, and of how he received his iconic [[helicopter]] ability, it is unclear if it is true and whether [[Raynette]] and the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]] ever existed.

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and its spin-offs==
[[File:Ray1RENDER.png|thumb|right|200px|Rayman as he appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].]]

Rayman makes his first appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] where he at the start can be seen sleeping in a hammock. He answers [[the Magician]], who asks him to rescue the [[Electoon]]s, with a simple "No problem". He can then directly afterwards be seen in [[the Dream Forest]] on the map, through the eyes of [[Mr Dark]] who is watching him as he makes his way closer to his hideout in [[Candy Château]]. In the manual he is referred to as "the guardian of [[Glade of Dreams|this world]]". Throughout the game he will come across several other characters of [[Rayman's species|his species]], such as [[Tarayzan]] and [[the Musician]]. Each time after having defeated a boss he will perform a victory dance. The only exception is after having defeated [[Bzzit]], where he comes up and befriends him instead once he sees him crying.

In the final level, [[Mr Dark's Dare]], [[Mr Dark]] can be seen summoning [[Bad Rayman]], an evil clone who follows Rayman's every step. It is unknown if this is simply a creation by [[Mr Dark]], or an actual living creature of [[Rayman's species]].

===In ''[[Rayman Designer]]''===
Rayman appears again in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' with the same role as in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. Here he also appears as an [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] in the [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] editor. The placement of the Rayman [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] decides where the player starts when entering the level. The Rayman [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] has to be placed in order to play the level. This is the only [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] which can only be placed once. Selecting it again will result in the cursor showing Rayman's head only.

===In ''[[French with Rayman]]''===

Rayman appears as the main character in the educational spin-off ''[[French with Rayman]]'' where he is called up by [[the Magician]] to learn the English language, so that he can help him read his letter he received from his cousin [[Andrew]]. Throughout the course of the game, Rayman will be set with several questions to help improve his English skills.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Rayman is seen imprisoned on the ''[[Buccaneer]]'' during the opening sequence. He is however quickly rescued by [[Globox]], who has hidden a [[Silver Lum]] in his mouth. Upon collecting it, Rayman regains his power to shoot with his [[Telescopic fist|fist]], and escapes together with [[Globox]]. They however get separated in the escape, and Rayman ends up in [[the Woods of Light]] where he rescues the [[Teensie]]s. They tell him that [[Ly]] is held prisoner in [[the Fairy Glade]], and take him to [[the Hall of Doors]], from which he can travel to other locations through [[Spiral Door]]s. He frees [[Ly]], who reveals that he will need to reunite the [[Four Masks of Polokus|four masks]] to reawaken [[Polokus]] to have a chance to defeat the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]]. He then sets out on a quest to do so, while also freeing some of his friends, like [[Clark]] and [[Carmen]], along the way.

In the end he makes it to [[the Prison Ship]] where he defeats the [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] leader [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] in a battle. However, before escaping, [[Razorbeard]] sets his robot the [[Grolgoth]] on auto-destruct, causing the entire ship to blow up. Rayman's friends presume that he didn't make it out in time as they only found one of his shoes, but shortly after he can be seen coming on a crutch, showing that he survived the blast.

When ''[[Rayman 2]]'' was released in Japan, Rayman's purple clothes and the stripes on [[Ly]]'s suit were changed to blue, because the localization team believed purple to be the color of death in Japan.<ref>Ubi Soft Divertissements inc. (via archive.org), ''Dossier spécial - La localisation chez Ubi Soft !'', https://web.archive.org/web/20010217082924/http://ubisoft.qc.ca/presse/presentations/localisation_p4.htm</ref> Purple, however, traditionally represents the aristocratic class in Japanese culture. This erroneous belief may have stemmed from the practice of Thai widows to wear purple when in mourning. ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is also the only [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]] where this sort of change was made in the Japanese localization.

This is also the only game where he speaks [[Raymanian]].

But right before [[Murfy]] flew away with Rayman, [[Globox]] accidentally took off his hands before making his own escape. Rayman and [[Murfy]] soon enough meet up with [[Globox]] again where Rayman can get his hands back.

{{Quote|This Rayman character is fascinating indeed. He has hands, but no arms - at least none that I can see. He has feet, but no legs. He has different costumes, each of which enhances his fighting abilities in various ways. Rayman came to the [[Space Opera Network]] the same way we did - by invitation. However, he is far less trusting of our circumstance - probably just nerves brought on by stage fright.|[[Beep-0]]|''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]''}}

Rayman is a protagonist in ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. After having received an invitation to the [[Space Opera Network]] in the form of a golden ticket, he travels there and quickly comes across [[Rabbid Peach]], [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Beep-0]] at the [[Space Opera Network#Network Reception|Network Reception]].

[[Rabbid Peach]] aims her Triple-Troll weapon at him while [[Rabbid Mario]] greets him with a handshake, but the latter falls unconscious when Rayman's hand is pulled from his body. [[Rabbid Peach]] then thoroughly observes Rayman's lack of arms and legs, leading him to push her aside. [[Beep-0]] then intervenes, assuring Rayman, whom he calls "Mr. Eggplant", that they are not "run-off-the-mill [[Rabbid]]s", but heroes. Before they can discuss the situation further, they are ambushed by [[Goomba]]s and [[Stooge]]s, and join forces against them.

Upon defeating the enemies, Rayman and the [[Rabbid]]s introduce themselves to each other and find out that they have all received the same invitation. They praise each other's fighting abilities and decide to team up for the time being. Immediately afterwards, an elevator comes down into the room, and the [[Phantom]] comes out of it and towards them. [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]], recognizing the enemy they previously fought in the Spooky Trails area of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', are held back by Rayman as they try to attack him, and the [[Phantom]] reveals a bouquet of flowers, appeasing the [[Rabbid]]s. He goes on to explain that he is now a changed person, no longer corrupted by the Megabug, and that he needs their help to restore the studio's ratings as his actors have left him. The [[Rabbid]]s are instantly convinced by the [[Phantom]]'s promises of fame and glory, and while [[Beep-0]] is initially reluctant, he is eventually won over by flattery. The heroes are then tasked with performing in three different productions.

Once all three tasks have been completed, the [[Phantom]] congratulates them and asks the team to join him by the elevator in the [[Space Opera Network#Main TV Studio|Main TV Studio]]. Rayman shows wariness, but they nonetheless ascend to the [[Space Opera Network#Control Room|Control Room]], where the [[Phantom]] reveals his duplicity, explaining that he had been plotting his revenge the entire time and only manipulated the heroes into ridding the [[Space Opera Network]] of [[Darkmess]]. With the help of his newfound fame, as the studio is now number one in the galaxy, he intends to defeat the heroes as part of one last performance. Breaking the fourth wall, he notably taunts Rayman for having become irrelevant and fallen second to the [[Rabbid]]s.

In battles reminiscent of when he was first encountered, the team eventually defeats the [[Phantom]], destroying the spotlights that provide him with immunity. Rayman then exclaims that it was nice to fight alongside [[Rabbid]]s for once.

Having found a functioning warp portal, [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]] decide to head back to Princess Peach's castle, having not found the actor career much to their liking, while Rayman chooses to stay for some time, explaining that the [[Rabbid]]s here at the [[Space Opera Network|studio]] are actually trying to do some good and simply need some supervision.

[[Beep-0]] then goes on to thank Rayman, promising him that he can count on them, should he need anything. Finally, the game ends with [[Rabbid Mario]] hugging Rayman and [[Rabbid Peach]] exchanging presents with him. In pictures shown after the credits, the presents are revealed to be a Mario cap with [[Rabbid]] ears, which Rayman wears, and a Rayman hoodie, which Mario holds in his hands.

==In ''[[Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix]]''==
[[File:Rayman-Laserhawk.webp|thumb|270px|Rayman as a presenter in ''[[Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix]]''.]]

{{Quote|text=Rayman is the glossy face of Eden's entire media system, from the Eden Report to the Eden Late Show, including any form of entertainment program.

In his earlier life, Rayman was a resident of a universe called Dimension X. As an immigrant to this reality, Rayman was witness to the many injustices of America and struggled to overcome rejection by everyone he met. He was happy to see America fall—and even happier that Eden gave him purpose. As he is Eden's chief propaganda officer, Rayman's friendly image is seen everywhere. Though Rayman's likeness has great influence, Rayman is simply a cog in the Eden machine.|sign=Character description|source=''[https://edenonline.ubisoft.com/story Eden Online]''}}

Rayman, voiced by David Menkin, is one of the main characters in the animated streaming television series produced by [[Ubisoft]], ''[[Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix]]''.

An alien from the parallel world of Dimension X, Rayman is the public face of Eden, the totalitarian megacorporation which has replaced the United States of America. As such, he is the presenter of various shows, such as ''The Eden Late Show'' and ''The Eden Report'', and the face of the Rayman Kids, a youth organisation which indoctrinates children and encourages them to report suspicious actions to the regime. His story is one of rags-to-riches, from a refugee facing anti-alien discrimination (the [[Rabbid]]s, also from Dimension X, brought chaos and destruction to Eden) to a newscaster and media personality. He is, therefore, originally grateful to Eden and wholeheartedly believes in the lies and propaganda he helps spread.

This situation changes after Alex Taylor uses a device called the Super-Scope to create a portal and bring kaijus—giant [[Rabbid]] monsters from Dimension X—into the city. Dolph Laserhawk is accused of this, and, when interviewed on TV, Red, the leader of the Niji 6, confronts him on ''The Eden Late Show'' and refers to the kaijus as "interdimensional alien scum". This prompts Rayman, the host of the show, to ask him if, as a refugee from Dimension X, he is also scum to him, to which Red replies, "I said what I said". Rayman gets angry and insults him on live television, after which he gets pulled off air of suspended from hosting the show.

He is later shown half-naked and drunk in his apartment, receiving a call from the Board of Directors, the ruling body of Eden. He gets angry at them, believing he has leverage due to his status of the voice of Eden, but he is soon proved to be wrong when he discovers that a doppelgänger of his is now presenting his shows. Distressed, he is seen doing drugs and in the company of prostitutes, until he receives a call from what appears to be the Board of Directors again. He begs for his old position, promising not to repeat his mistake, but all he gets is an enigmatic message to "talk to the frog", a reference to Bullfrog, a member of the Brotherhood of Assassins wrongly accused of terrorism by Eden and awaiting trial in custody.

Rayman uses his notoriety to get to Bullfrog, with whom he has a conversation. While he originally maintains that he owes everything to Eden, Bullfrog makes him realize the truth by blowing a bubble showing the abuses carried out by the regime. Red then shows up, calling Rayman "filthy alien scum" again and punching him to the ground when he tries to attack him. However, Bullfrog distracts Red and allows Rayman to escape.

On Retribution Day, the day of Bullfrog's execution, Rayman has an epiphany and decides that he no longer wants to spread Eden's lies. He arms himself with machine guns, calling himself "Ramon", and makes his way to the Board of Directors, using his limblessness to hit guards from a distance with his hand. There, he has them call off Bullfrog's execution, but he nonetheless murders them all afterwards. As the first season ends, he is shown lying on the Board's table, surrounded by their bodies. The presence of an empty chair suggests that one could have escaped.

==In ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''==
Rayman is set to appear as a playable character in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. His figure uses a new model based on his appearance in the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games, albeit with added details, while his early figure model resembled his appearance in a fake leak for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''. To give off the illusion of limblessness, his torso, hands, and one of his feet are attached to a vine, while his other foot is atop a tree stump. His head is also connected to his torso. An alternate, Kickstarter-exclusive figure of him riding a [[giant mosquito]] will also be included with all pledges that have a copy of the base game. An additional figure of him playing a guitar was shown to be included in the set of 10 skins, but the figure was later redesigned and revealed as [[Raymesis]].

One day, after long travel and many adventures, Rayman emerged into a wide clearing. High on a hill he saw a huge golden hall and heard the roar of a vast crowd. Entering, Rayman was met by the sight of the Grand Tournament of Valhalla in full swing. Among the throng of cheering spectators, Rayman saw the god Odin wearing a "Sentinel #1" baseball cap and a Sir Roland jersey (it was 2v2s-day). Next to Odin sat the Tournament's glorious pile of prizes. Sitting on top of the pile was the [[Horn of Lums]]. Without hesitation, Rayman entered the tournament. That he would be battling the greatest warriors of every time and place bothered him not at all, and he quickly showed himself to be one of the best. But even for Rayman, victory will not come easy. Rayman is fighting hard to win the [[Horn of Lums|Horn]] and complete his quest, but he also loves the wild ruckus of Valhalla, and feels right at home among the bizarre cast of legendary warriors.

In the fighting game ''[[Brawlhalla]]'', the Rayman Update patch added the titular character as a Legend fighter, along with numerous [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman''-themed]] skins, items, and effects to the game. He uses the [[Rabbid]] Bopper Gauntlets and the Origin Axe (seemingly named after ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', though no axes appear in that game) to fight. When he was first added, he could be purchased for 7,200 Gold Coins, but like all Legends in the game, his price was reduced to 5,400 Gold Coins two weeks after his release.

Rayman also makes an appearance as a playable add-on character in ''[[Brawlhalla]]'''s upcoming card game, complete with his own figure and deck of cards.

===Other appearances===
In the [[Ubisoft]] game UNO, there is a ''Rayman''-themed DLC. Rayman also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a Neutral-Type Primary Spirit and as a playable character in ''[[Rayman's Incrediballs Dodge]]''. Additionally, Rayman, along with [[Globox]] and [[Barbara]], appears as a collectible trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', with models supplied by [[Ubisoft]]. Rayman makes another cameo appearance in the platform game ''Astro Bot'', where one of the game’s VIP Bots is dressed as him (specifically his appearance from his [[Rayman 1|first]] and [[Rayman 2|second]] outings) and known as “Limbless Legend”. A prize that depicts him using his [[grappling fist]] to swing from a [[flying ring]] can be earned in the Gatcha Lab as well. When interacted with on the Crash Site, which is the game’s overworld, he will even glide with his [[helicopter]] and wind up his [[telescopic fist]] to grab the [[flying ring]].

==Trivia==
* Due to a reaction during an activity in ''[[Rayman Premiers Clics]]'' and due to the cover picture in a Joystick's magazine about ''[[Rayman 3]]'', it is presumed that Rayman loves chocolate.
* According to the sandbox game ''Growtopia'', Rayman loves the smell of amber and his hoodie smells like waffles, vanilla, and determination.
* Rayman can play the harmonica, the ukulele, and the electric guitar, as shown in ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'', ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', and ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'' respectively.
** Rayman is also seen playing the ukulele in a ''[[Brawlhalla]]'' trailer and an electric guitar as [[Super Metal Rayman]] in the same game.
* With the exception of [[Renversant !|the third volume]], Rayman makes a cameo appearance in all of the first nine volumes of [[Thitaume]] and [[Romain Pujol]]'s [[Rabbid]]s comic books.
* Rayman was parodied in a comic strip in the second volume of Joueur du Grenier, with the main character being dressed like him. The joke poked fun at the limbless attributes of Rayman.
* Despite not having a neck, Rayman is still able to eat and swallow. This is seen in the opening and ending cutscenes of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
* Rayman was once planned to have legs again during the development of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', but the idea was quickly put aside.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 4 - Rayman 3 : Hoodlum Havoc, Rayman without Michel Ancel</ref>
* In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', it seems that Rayman did not age at all after the 100 years nap; the same goes for every other character returning from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
**However, his voice clips have changed from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
* A recurring gag is that Rayman is always seen sleeping in the beginning of every main game, with the exception of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.
