RaypersonNikol: Response to Fifo and Hunchman

You can talk to me here or just look at me yap about things.

== Images from Rayman 1 ==

Hi there! Please re-upload your image of the spring maracas after reading our [[RayWiki:Image policy#Screenshots from the original Rayman and its spin-offs|image policy on screenshots from Rayman 1]]. If your image is from the PlayStation version, the resolution should be 320 × 240 after resizing to 50% using a nearest-neighbor algorithm.

Also note [[RayWiki:Image policy#File names|the image policy on file names]]: "Screenshot 2026-02-27 221645.png" is not as self-explanatory as "Spring maracas.png", for example.

Thanks! —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 08:50, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

: Heya Hunchman, read ya loud and clear, will get something done that way. Sorry for the inconvenience. --[[User:RaypersonNikol|RaypersonNikol]] ([[User talk:RaypersonNikol|talk]]) 11:50, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

:: Thanks for looking into it! Unfortunately, your image is still very blurry, as if you resized it using a smooth interpolation algorithm instead of nearest-neighbor, as necessary here. [https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=4824 This topic] explains the problem in more detail. To summarize, you need to play the game at native resolution (no emulator window resizing), and then resize it to 50% using a nearest-neighbor algorithm. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 09:41, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

::: Heya, idk if this will solve it, but I can probably try to use the Switch version of the PlayStation 1 title instead of playing the original game on DuckStation (I think it's because I have the window expanded that it gets weird, so might try without doing that), maybe? Big thanks for checking in and will take a look at the topic. --[[User:RaypersonNikol|RaypersonNikol]] ([[User talk:RaypersonNikol|talk]]) 03:36, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

:::: I'd say just use Duckstation without expanding the window (if you did, there must be an easy way of resetting the size) and resize the screenshot to 50% using nearest-neighbor. I'm not sure what kind of rescaling the 30th Anniversary Edition uses so I don't know if that would work. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 07:49, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

:::: You might want to try using the following settings in DuckStation:
::::* '''Graphics'''
::::** '''Internal Resolution''': 1x Native
::::** '''Texture Filtering''': Nearest Neighbor
::::** '''Sprite Texture Filtering''': Nearest Neighbor
::::* '''Capture'''
::::** '''Screenshot Size''': Internal Resolution

:::: hope it helps!
:::: — [[User:Fifo|Fifo]] ([[User_talk:Fifo|talk]]) 07:53, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Heya Fifo, thank you, will try these settings asap. And thank you both for your input! Will try this out asap. Currently fighting a cold at the moment, and it's draining me XD Hopefully will get a better image soon and will upload that. --[[User:RaypersonNikol|RaypersonNikol]] ([[User talk:RaypersonNikol|talk]]) 15:17, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Spring maracas

2026-02-28T12:00:59Z

RaypersonNikol: image has been properly resized to 320x240 (to reflect the PlayStation version's resolution) and filename has been changed properly. Thank you Hunchman for letting me know!

'''Spring maracas''' are a type of [[maraca]] found in [[Band Land]], in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and its spin-offs.

When stepped on, spring maracas cushion [[Rayman]]'s jump, sinking slightly before springing back to their original positions. It is usually safer not to stand on them for too long, as they are often placed above [[wrong note]]s.

Spring maracas are near identical in appearance to [[maracas rocket]]s, another type of [[maraca]] which ignite when stepped on and can be used as a flying platform. Both spring maracas and [[maracas rocket]]s are available in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and its spin-offs.

Hi, I'm Nikol, better known as RaypersonNikol on Rayman Pirate-Community. I love Rayman and trying to find secrets sometimes about the games.

I try my best to add anything missing or help clarify anything that may be speculative. I love to have friends as well and I try to be a good friend as well.

Bad Rayman

2025-11-29T20:48:49Z

RaypersonNikol: Removed "sibling via cloning" due to pure speculation, as there is no proof, and slight grammar changes.

'''Bad Rayman''', also known as '''Dark Rayman''', is an enemy who appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], its [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color remake]], ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and ''[[French with Rayman]]''.

==Description==
Bad Rayman is a clone of [[Rayman]], magically created by [[Mr Dark]] in an attempt to destroy the original.

His appearance is very similar to that of [[Rayman]], but with different colouration. He seems to have somehow inherited [[Mr Dark]]'s glowing yellow eyes. In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], Bad Rayman's skin is grey, his hair and neckerchief are pink, his gloves are light blue, and his shirt and shoes are dark blue. He also has a green tongue, which can be noticed by having him make a [[grimace]] in ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' or ''[[Rayman Designer]]''.

==Appearances==
===''Rayman''===
Bad Rayman first appears at a very late point in all versions of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] except for the Atari Jaguar version, when the real [[Rayman]] finally reaches the second part of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in [[Candy Château]], and has a spell cast upon him by [[Mr Dark]]. The evil double appears behind him, and follows him wherever he goes as well as copying his actions. [[Rayman]] cannot stand still for too long at this point, because he and the double will die instantly if they come to close contact with each other. However, Bad Rayman will die as soon as the real [[Rayman]] reaches the [[Exit sign|exit]] in the area.

Bad Rayman, who is not named in the original versions of the game, but only in the manual for ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and in the achievements for ''[[Rayman Classic]]'', is also called Dark Rayman in ''[[Rayman Advance]]'' and [[Rayman (Nintendo DSi)|''Rayman'' for the Nintendo DSi]], which has fueled numerous debates on his real name, and the nature of the relationship between him and [[Dark Rayman|the many other identically named characters]].<ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''Dark Rayman & Bad Rayman'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=5283</ref>

====Bad Rayman's fist====
In the PlayStation version of the game, Bad Rayman can throw his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] while copying [[Rayman]]'s actions. Unlike Bad Rayman's body, the fist is not recoloured, but instead looks exactly like [[Rayman]]'s did when it was thrown, reflecting [[Golden Fist]] and/or [[Speed Fist]] power-ups. This copy of the [[Telescopic fist|fist]] should also have appeared in the PC version, but due to a programming error,<ref>The PC port of the engine added a function named ''add_alwobj'', which must be called on objects like the [[telescopic fist]] to add them to the list of "level objects". The code which manages Bad Rayman's [[Telescopic fist|fist]] was not updated in the PC port to include this new function call, rendering it ineffective.</ref> it remains inactive and invisible.

Unlike Bad Rayman himself, his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] is harmless to [[Rayman]], as it passes right through him. However, it was intended during [[Rayman 1|the game]]'s development to kill [[Rayman]] if it came into contact with him.<ref>This can be seen by decompiling the game's code and inspecting the main object function table: Bad Rayman and his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] have the same collision function, ''DoBlKRayRaymanCollision''. The collision code for the [[Telescopic fist|fist]] is never executed, as the necessary flag to enable collision with [[Rayman]] is turned off in the [[Telescopic fist|fist]]'s animation state (''état'').</ref> It is unknown whether this behaviour was intentionally disabled for gameplay reasons, or just never fully implemented due to lack of time or other technical issues.

===''Maths and English with Rayman''===
{{Quote|[[Rayman]]'s «evil double» haunts [[Candy Château|the world of the cakes]]. He constantly pursues [[Rayman]] through this world. [[Rayman]] must be extra careful because if Bad Rayman touches him, it's fatal!|Manual|''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]''}}

{{Quote|We're not far from [[Mr Dark's lair (Maths and English with Rayman)|Dark's lair]] now, and we're beginning to feel the poisonous effects of his evil spirit. [[Rayman]], be careful not to stand still for too long among the cakes and candies, for a wicked double of yourself is following you. Don't let him catch you. Be alert and be clever. Good luck.|[[Betilla]] the [[fairy]]|[[Maths and English with Rayman|''Maths and English with Rayman'', ''Amazing Learning Games with Rayman'', ''Rayman Learning Center'', ''Rayman Junior: Maths Reading'', ''Rayman Brain Games'']]}}

In ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' and the other games in this educational series, Bad Rayman appears in the penultimate level, [[Tasty chase]], which takes place in [[Candy Château]]. However, he does not chase [[Rayman]] during the whole level, but only makes short appearances and disappears after a certain distance.

Bad Rayman is named in the manual, and in-game, [[Betilla]] the [[fairy]] refers to him as [[Rayman]]'s "wicked double".

===''Rayman Designer''===
In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', Bad Rayman appears as an enemy [[Event (Rayman Designer)|event]] and can be added to the maps in [[Candy Château]]. He will disappear if [[Rayman]] comes into contact with an [[anti-spell amulet]].

*'''Bad Rayman''' - An evil twin of Rayman that follows him at a regular interval and makes the same movements as he does.

===''French with Rayman''===
In ''[[French with Rayman]]'' and the other games in this educational series, Bad Rayman appears in the level [[Food and Drinks]] of [[Candy Château]]. Like in ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', he only makes short appearances and disappears after a certain distance.

===The Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''===
[[File:AF 1.PNG|frame|right|class=sprite|Bad Rayman in [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']]]]

{{Quote|Watch out! [[Mr Dark|Mr. Dark]] has conjured a dark version of [[Rayman|yourself]]! It doesn't seem friendly: I wouldn't try shaking hands with it...|[[Ting]]s|[[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|''Rayman'' (Game Boy Color)]]}}

Bad Rayman also makes appearances in the [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], in which he appears in a slightly different colour scheme; his shoes and gloves are yellow, and his skin is darker than [[Rayman]]'s. He is found towards the end of the game, in the [[Arcane Forest]]. Bad Rayman behaves in the same way as he did in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] - chasing, copying, and causing death upon touch. But he doesn't die if he manages to kill [[Rayman]], apart if the hero falls into a chasm.

When [[Rayman]] reaches the exit in the area, Bad Rayman doesn't disappear, unlike in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. And as he is never seen again in the game, his fate remains unknown.

It is possible to kill Bad Rayman in this game, by flying above a specific floor of red spikes.

In a screenshot from the manual showing an early version of the game, Bad Rayman is shown to originally have been of a different color.

==Links to other characters==
Bad Rayman's coloration suggests he inspired [[Raymesis]], a playable character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', and their spin-offs. Similarities include glowing yellow eyes, purple hair, blue shoes and blue clothing. Differences include a pink neckerchief rather than a turquoise hoodie and gray skin rather than purple skin.

{{Quote|text=The evil Dark Rayman just appeared and invaded 6 paintings! Go back to the worlds you already saved to face him in new Invasion paintings and save new [[Teensie]]s!|sign=[[Polokus]]|source=''[[Rayman Legends]]''}}

'''Dark Rayman''' is an enemy who appears in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

==Description==
Dark Rayman is a clone of [[Rayman]], magically created to destroy the original.

His appearance is very similar to that of [[Rayman]], but with different colouration. He is almost completely dark with a purple aura emanating from his body. He also has glowing yellow eyes. At certain points, Dark Rayman's crazy evil laughter can be heard, revealing a high pitched, echoed version of [[Rayman]]'s voice. This laughter, along with other variable noises, can be heard at the beginning of the challenge or when [[Rayman]] is defeated.

Dark Rayman is an allusion to [[Bad Rayman]], an evil clone of [[Rayman]] created by [[Mr Dark]] which appear in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. But unlike [[Bad Rayman]], the creator of Dark Rayman is unknown. Maybe it is the [[Dark Teensy|Dark Teensies]], the antagonists of ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', who are admirers of [[Mr Dark]], or maybe he returned as a nightmare of [[Polokus]], but nothing permits to prove it.

==Role in the games==
Dark Rayman appears in the last Invasion levels of ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', in which [[Rayman]], in addition to having to reach a group of [[Teensie]]s before a certain amount of time while defeating enemies from another world and avoiding obstacles, must also avoid contact with Dark Rayman, who follows him and repeats his moves until he touches and kills the real [[Rayman]]. This makes these levels some of the most challenging in the game.

*If the player uses the [[List of glitches in UbiArt games#Murfy Reset|Murfy reset glitch]], a glitch occurs in which the heroes become invincible to Dark Rayman.
*[[Shadow Ray]], a character that looks identical to Dark Rayman save the for the missing purple halo, is playable in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' and ''[[Rayman Mini]]''.
*In ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', one of Dark Rayman’s voice clips is reused for the results screen when completing a boss level.

{{Quote|text=Time to strap on your schoolin' shoes and power up your [[lum]]s. [[Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]] has gone competition crazy with 12 obstacle courses and 12 battle zones of pure pulse-pounding action. Take risks, use tricks, and trip up opponents as you sprint, slide, climb, and [[helicopter]] in a rush for the checkered flag.

'''''Rayman Arena''''' is the American release of ''[[Rayman M]]'', released in 2002 for the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. The title was altered to avoid misconceptions about the game being related to the ESRB's ‘M for Mature’ rating.

==PlayStation 2, PC==
{{Main|Rayman M}}

The PlayStation 2 and PC versions of the game very closely mimic their overseas counterparts. Most changes were for localization, such as changing any ''‘Rayman M’'' logos into ''‘Rayman Arena’''. The only other major change difference lies in the addition of the LAN mode to the PC version. The map for the race tracks in the bottom-right of the screen is no longer shown by default and, as in ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', Ice Bullets have now been added to the Race mode and Lum Race. In the PC version, the menu navigation has been slightly changed and the save system has been changed to avoid any save file corruption. Some levels have minor changes made to them.

==Xbox, GameCube==
The Xbox and GameCube had never received a port of ''[[Rayman M]]'' (due to the consoles having not been released at the time of ''[[Rayman M]]'''s release), so the designers made several changes before releasing the ''[[Rayman M]]'' ports (many pertaining to Battle mode).

===Modifications===
This is a list of notable modifications to the Xbox and GameCube ports, among others.

*A new intro video was used.
*The menus had undergone major changes in navigation and aesthetically.
*‘Cups’ replaced the prior ‘Leagues’ and setup in the single-player mode was changed.
*[[Murfy]] is seen as a reporter/paparazzo before the start of each cup in a brief comical video.
*Lock-on has been added for less-experienced players in Battle mode.
*Hearts are now used in Battle mode to recognize health (instead of hit points), and one heart can be regained by killing an opponent.
*A player is given 6 possible hearts, with 5 filled when a player respawns. (The 6th is left open in case of a kill without the loss of any hearts.)
*There is a visible timer in Battle mode.
*There are three modes, which reflect the difficulty of the game: Beginner, Pro and Master
*Master Mode features only [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|Dark Rayman]] as an opponent (albeit his AI is much improved from other characters), is played in black-and-white, as well as using cel-shaded graphics.
*There are more playable characters, including [[Dark Globox]] and [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|Dark Rayman]].
*[[Popolopoï]] mode has been removed.
*Training mode has been removed.
*[[On and On]] has been removed.
*[[Capture the Fly]] has been removed.
*Big Bang has been removed.
*[[Lum]]s have been removed.
*The small animations that characters do upon finishing a race have been replaced with the character entering a [[Spiral Door]].
*Added Time Attack
*Added Run, Run

==Trivia==
* Ed from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' makes a cameo in a cutscene as a skeleton.
* In one of the cutscenes before a campaign, parodies of the TV series ''Baywatch'' (1989), the movies ''Jaws'' (1975) and ''Basic Instinct'' (1992), and model-magazines appear.
* [[Ly]] from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' appears as a poster, as a heart and as a target in a cutscene.
* [[Clark]] appears as a poster in a cutscene.
* A creature like Ed from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' appears in a cutscene.
* In the intro, the slow-motion scene with [[Rayman]] is a reference to the movie ''The Matrix''.
* [[Dark Globox]]'s spin is a reference to the Tasmanian Devil from the ''Looney Tunes'' comedy series.

{{Quote|text=Time to strap on your schoolin' shoes and power up your [[lum]]s. [[Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]] has gone competition crazy with 12 obstacle courses and 12 battle zones of pure pulse-pounding action. Take risks, use tricks, and trip up opponents as you sprint, slide, climb, and [[helicopter]] in a rush for the checkered flag. Then jump into frenzied firefights with power-ups, traps, and special ammo to get the most [[lum]]s.

Perhaps you will prove to be tougher than [[Rayman]]...|sign=Manual|source=''Rayman Arena''}}

'''''Rayman Arena''''' is the American release of ''[[Rayman M]]'', released in 2002 for the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. The title was altered to avoid misconceptions about the game being related to the ESRB's ‘M for Mature’ rating.

==PlayStation 2, PC==
{{Main|Rayman M}}

The PlayStation 2 and PC versions of the game very closely mimic their overseas counterparts. Most changes were for localization, such as changing any ''‘Rayman M’'' logos into ''‘Rayman Arena’''. The only other major change difference lies in the addition of the LAN mode to the PC version. The map for the race tracks in the bottom-right of the screen is no longer shown by default and, as in ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', Ice Bullets have now been added to the Race mode and Lum Race. In the PC version, the menu navigation has been slightly changed and the save system has been changed to avoid any save file corruption. Some levels have minor changes made to them.

==Xbox, GameCube==
The Xbox and GameCube had never received a port of ''[[Rayman M]]'' (due to the consoles having not been released at the time of ''[[Rayman M]]'''s release), so the designers made several changes before releasing the ''[[Rayman M]]'' ports (many pertaining to Battle mode).

===Modifications===
This is a list of notable modifications to the Xbox and GameCube ports, among others.

*A new intro video was used.
*The menus had undergone major changes in navigation and aesthetically.
*‘Cups’ replaced the prior ‘Leagues’ and setup in the single-player mode was changed.
*[[Murfy]] is seen as a reporter/paparazzo before the start of each cup in a brief comical video.
*Lock-on has been added for less-experienced players in Battle mode.
*Hearts are now used in Battle mode to recognize health (instead of hit points), and one heart can be regained by killing an opponent.
*A player is given 6 possible hearts, with 5 filled when a player respawns. (The 6th is left open in case of a kill without the loss of any hearts.)
*There is a visible timer in Battle mode.
*There are three modes, which reflect the difficulty of the game: Beginner, Pro and Master
*Master Mode features only [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|Dark Rayman]] as an opponent (albeit his AI is much improved from other characters), is played in black-and-white, as well as using cel-shaded graphics.
*There are more playable characters, including [[Dark Globox]] and [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|Dark Rayman]].
*[[Popolopoï]] mode has been removed.
*Training mode has been removed.
*[[On and On]] has been removed.
*[[Capture the Fly]] has been removed.
*Big Bang has been removed.
*[[Lum]]s have been removed.
*The small animations that characters do upon finishing a race have been replaced with the character entering a [[Spiral Door]].
*Added Time Attack
*Added Run, Run

==Trivia==
* Ed from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' makes a cameo in a cutscene as a skeleton.
* In one of the cutscenes before a campaign, parodies of the TV series ''Baywatch'' (1989), the movies ''Jaws'' (1975) and ''Basic Instinct'' (1992), and model-magazines appear.
* [[Ly]] from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' appears as a poster, as a heart and as a target in a cutscene.
* [[Clark]] appears as a poster in a cutscene.
* A creature like Ed from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' appears in a cutscene.
* In the intro, the slow-motion scene with [[Rayman]] is a reference to the movie ''The Matrix''.
* [[Dark Globox]]'s spin is a reference to the Tasmanian Devil from the ''Looney Tunes'' comedy series.
* In one of the cutscenes before a campaign, [[Dark Globox]] can be seen holding a weight with two Coca-Cola cans at each side.
* Upon being selected as a character, Globox hums the "Player Down" theme from Super Mario Bros 2.
