A '''Baby Globox''' is one of [[Globox]] and [[Uglette]]'s more than 650 children. Along with their parents, baby Globoxes first appear in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes, where it appears that a large number of them are prisoners held on [[the Buccaneer]]. Those who had not been captured appear either individually or in groups, and are usually seen cheering [[Rayman]] on or crying for [[Globox|their missing father]]. Baby Globoxes reappeared in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' with a significant change in their appearance.

==In the games==
===''[[Rayman 2]]''===
In the original ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the baby Globoxes first appear in [[the Woods of Light]], where they ask [[Rayman]] where [[Globox|their father]] is and cry when told that he is missing. They then inform [[Rayman]] that [[Ly]] the fairy has been captured, setting the course for the hero's next mission.

Two appear in [[the Fairy Glade]], the following level, cheering him on. Their next major appearance is in [[the Iron Mountains]] where [[Rayman]] has to rescue them from the mines. Several are later freed from [[the Prison Ship]] and three attends [[Rayman]]'s funeral during the ending, running towards him when he arrives. Aside from this, they appear in several [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus levels]].

Their roles increased in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' as several can be met in the hub levels, and one is required in order to reach [[Whale Bay]].

In ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'' they appear only in [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus levels]] where [[Rayman]] has to collect them, similarly to [[ting]]s in other games.

===''[[Rayman Arena]]''===
In ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', baby Globoxes are present in race levels, on the sides of the track and around the podium, encouraging participants.

===''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''===
In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', [[Rayman]] is having a picnic with several Baby Globoxes when the [[Rabbid]]s attack and capture them. The babies are caged by the [[Rabbid]]s in the shooting mini-games, where [[Rayman]] must reach the end to rescue a Baby Globox. When he finally escapes, he has a revelation that he was being forced to show the [[Rabbid]]s how to do things, which they would ultimately try to use on the baby Globoxes, and he forgot to rescue all of them, so desperately tries to go back for the babies, but gets stuck in a hole. The fate of the babies is unknown.

==Notable baby Globoxes==
[[File:Notable Baby Globoxes.jpg|thumb|225px|right|A group of baby Globoxes]]

Most of the baby Globoxes are the same color as their father [[Globox]], an indication that a large number of them are male, though there are a few of them that are found in colors other than blue-green. These particular Globoxes can be found in the [[Globox Village]] and [[Globox's House]], and are playable characters in the bonus mini-games involving baby Globoxes. Female Globoxes are generally as a rule some shade of red, usually pink.

=== Names from [[Baby Football]] ===
In the [[Baby Football]] multiplayer minigame (which is exclusive to ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''), if the player inputs a code (tapping L2, R2, L2, R2, L2, R2, all while holding L1 and R1), names appear over the heads of each of the baby Globoxes. The names which appear over the male blue babies are Reno, Arno, Poc and Druid; and the names which appear over the heads of the pink female babies are Coach, Iki, Lolo and Mike. [[Hardrox]], who is the referee of the baby Globoxes' football match, has the name "Steve" appear over his head. All of these names are either first names or nicknames of developers who worked on the game, and all can be seen during the game's credits.

==Unicef==
At the time ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' had been released, the baby Globoxes had been redesigned, and appear in a number of French adverts for UNICEF in which a [[Rabbid]] would treat one unfairly, for example, it would eat a lot of food but not give the baby Globox any, until [[Rayman]] would come along and pull down a blind which had messages in French saying "I have the right to eat!". Three of these adverts were made and they were to raise awareness of the rights of children in a humorous manner, particularly those in third world countries. The messages were:

* ''On a tous le droit de manger !'' (We have the right to eat!)
* ''On a tous le droit d'aller à l'école !'' (We have the right to go to school!)
* ''On a tous le droit de s'exprimer !'' (We have the right to express ourselves!)

==Trivia==
*Since it is revealed in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' that [[Globox]] was not naturally blue, he must have passed the manipulated gene down to some of his children, revealing why some of them are blue too.

'''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|the 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 [[mosquito]] 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 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's used used as live bait to lure [[Rayman]] to [[the Crow's Nest]]. Before [[Admiral Razorbeard|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. <br>
'''Likes:''' Sleeping under trees, playing with his [[Baby Globox|boys]], and rock music. <br>
'''Dislikes:''' Danger, being woken up suddently by [[Tily]], and journeys across the world. <br>
'''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.

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 [[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 [[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 [[Begoniax]], from whom he is rescued by [[Rayman]].

[[Rayman]] and Globox then go on a mission to stop the [[Hoodlums]] 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''==
{{quote|text=A quiet force within [[The Glade of Dreams|the 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|the 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 fly 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 that Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] refers to Globox as "the biggest [[glute]] in [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]" when that name was used in reference to [[bird]]-like creatures that only appeared in the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|beta]] of ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

Globox returns in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', fulfilling the same role as he did in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He, alongside [[Rayman]], a [[Grand Minimus]] and a [[Goth Teensy]] are awoken by [[Murfy]] at the beginning of [[Once upon a Time]], beginning the events of the game.

In ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', he appears as a playable character and is unlocked by default. His adventurer costume can be unlocked for 12 [[Swag Coin]]s. Notably, the second part of his adventurer costume’s description omits the mention of [[the Captain]] and his [[Viking ship]].

==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]] 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 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'', along with [[Barbara]]. Globox comes with signature FX swaps, Legend Name and icon swaps, custom Lock-In animation, and two weapon skins which include two [[mosquito]]es which Globox uses as guns as well as [[Selena]]'s sword which is called the Selena Smasher here. Globox costs 300 Blue Mammoth coins to be unlocked.

*Although not seen in the game, he has a default score of 12000 in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''.
*Globox was going to make an appearance in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', as a character [[Rayman]] was going to rescue from the [[Rabbid]]s, but this idea was scrapped.

'''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|the 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 [[mosquito]] 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 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's used used as live bait to lure [[Rayman]] to [[the Crow's Nest]]. Before [[Admiral Razorbeard|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. <br>
'''Likes:''' Sleeping under trees, playing with his [[Baby Globox|boys]], and rock music. <br>
'''Dislikes:''' Danger, being woken up suddently by [[Tily]], and journeys across the world. <br>
'''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]]'', 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 [[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 [[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 [[Begoniax]], from whom he is rescued by [[Rayman]].

[[Rayman]] and Globox then go on a mission to stop the [[Hoodlums]] 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 the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids''==
Globox makes a brief cameo appearance at the beginning of [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. He is seen in the [[Agony jails]] where he thanks [[Rayman]] to have freed him.

==In ''Rayman Kart''==
[[File:Globox RK.PNG|frame|left|class=sprite|Globox, as he appears in ''[[Rayman Kart]]''.]]

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''==
{{quote|text=A quiet force within [[The Glade of Dreams|the 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|the 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 fly 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 that Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] refers to Globox as "the biggest [[glute]] in [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]" when that name was used in reference to [[bird]]-like creatures that only appeared in the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|beta]] of ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

Globox returns in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', fulfilling the same role as he did in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He, alongside [[Rayman]], a [[Grand Minimus]] and a [[Goth Teensy]] are awoken by [[Murfy]] at the beginning of [[Once upon a Time]], beginning the events of the game.

In ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', he appears as a playable character and is unlocked by default. His adventurer costume can be unlocked for 12 [[Swag Coin]]s. Notably, the second part of his adventurer costume’s description omits the mention of [[the Captain]] and his [[Viking ship]].

==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]] 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 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'', along with [[Barbara]]. Globox comes with signature FX swaps, Legend Name and icon swaps, custom Lock-In animation, and two weapon skins which include two [[mosquito]]es which Globox uses as guns as well as [[Selena]]'s sword which is called the Selena Smasher here. Globox costs 300 Blue Mammoth coins to be unlocked.

*Globox was going to make an appearance in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', as a character [[Rayman]] was going to rescue from the [[Rabbid]]s, but this idea was scrapped.

'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party''''' (known as '''''Rayman Prod' Présente : The Lapins Crétins Show''''' in France) is the third game in the ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' spin-off series, and the final game in the [[Rabbids (series)|series]] to feature [[Rayman]] until ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' as a downloadable content. It is followed by ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'' in 2009 and ''[[Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time]]'' in 2010. A different game based on a similar premise was released on [[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party (DS)|Nintendo DS]], and another as a [[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party (mobile)|mobile game]].

==Announcement==
The game was officially announced on May 28, 2008 via the Ubidays conference in which two of the minigames were demonstrated by [[Ubisoft]] representatives and UK TV presenter Vernon Kay. Following this, several artworks depicting the [[Rabbid]]s parodying films, TV shows and celebrities (e.g. football players) were revealed on the official [[Rabbid]]s website, and recently official gameplay trailers were released.

==Plot==
Deep in the forest, [[Rayman]] is running away from a small group of [[Rabbid]]s that had appeared from his broken TV in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2|the previous game]]. For a few moments, they are distracted by a bolt of lightning, but quickly resume their pursuit. [[Rayman]] takes refuge in a small house at the edge of the forest (presumably his), while the [[Rabbid]]s are then struck by the lightning, and travel into a TV set indoors, where they scream and mess around, making [[Rayman]] try to turn it off, but to no avail.

The next day, [[Rayman]] is washing the dishes, polishing the windows and vacuuming the house, tired from having had a sleepless night of the [[Rabbid]]s in the TV annoying him. As they go on and on, [[Rayman]] gets restless enough to where he unplugs the TV. At first, it works, but the TV switches back on and the [[Rabbid]]s continue their messing around. In his anger, [[Rayman]] slams his fist on the TV, making the corner of the screen start cracking.

The night after, [[Rayman]] is lying on the sofa with a headache and a hot water bottle on his head, and one of the [[Rabbid]]s are continuously brightening and dimming the TV, disturbing him as he tries to sleep. [[Rayman]] throws the hot water bottle at the TV, making more cracks appear.

On day four, after spending another sleepless night, [[Rayman]] is lying on the sofa with a cushion over his head, as one of the [[Rabbid]]s makes a continuous scream while he keeps changing the volume level. [[Rayman]] uses duct tape to wrap around the TV [[Rabbid]]'s mouth and the volume control, but the [[Rabbid]] continues screaming until the TV starts bloating up and the duct tape flies off onto [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] chucks the TV out the window, and it lands in the field outside.

The moles that live underneath the field struggle to spend a day of putting up with the screaming TV [[Rabbid]]s. [[Rayman]] wakes up from having had a peaceful day when he hears a knock on the door. When the opens the door, he is shocked to see the moles throwing the TV back into his house.

The next day, [[Rayman]] is reading the newspaper, with the TV lying on the floor behind him. It suddenly turns on again, with a [[Rabbid]] screaming after messing around with the calibration of the screen, separating his body in two. [[Rayman]] angrily throws the TV into the toilet, and slams the toilet door shut.

The [[Rabbid]]s are using a hook to pull the toilet lever the following day, continuously flushing the toilet while the [[Rabbid]]s laugh mischievously. [[Rayman]] opens the door to see what all the noise is about, shocked to see what the [[Rabbid]]s are doing. He puts the TV in the sink and fills the sink up with water in an attempt to drown them, but as he walks away, the [[Rabbid]]s start gurgling extremely loud, making the pipes start bloating up and the house starts to shake. Now the whole TV is cracked.

That following night, [[Rayman]] is trying to enjoy a game of rugby, but the [[Rabbid]]s keep interrupting it, forcing the signal back to their channels. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to change back to the channel he was watching, [[Rayman]], pushed to the breaking point, disattaches his foot and throws it at the TV. The TV finally breaks, releasing the [[Rabbid]]s inside who chase [[Rayman]] out of the house. They accidentally switch the vacuum on as they pass it, and one of the [[Rabbid]]s stays behind and watches it in wonder and interest. Playing around with it, he accidentally gets the sucker attached to his ears. He then decides to stay in the house and make himself at home.

==Setting==
The setting is the TV station the [[Rabbid]]s have gotten into. From there, [[Rabbid]]s can be customized with clothes unlocked in story mode. The player can play unlocked games in training mode, and play with friends in party mode.

==Gameplay==
There are three modes in this game: story mode, party mode, and training mode. Story mode is where the player can experience what the [[Rabbid]]s did in an entire week with the television station. Party mode is for having a multiplayer game for up to eight players. Training mode is the collection of games played in both party and story mode. The game uses a channel system to play games. On each section chosen, it shows what shows are on in the time slot. When one game is completed, it is saved. Whenever the player goes to the slot, they can only replay that game. Beating [[Rayman]]'s score will win an accessory for the Pimp My Rabbid minigame. Among some shows, there are microgames based on TV advertisements. Beating those games gives a bonus for the minigame played, such as getting more points.

This is first game in the [[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids series]] as a whole to optionally use the Wii Balance Board.

For a few moments, they are distracted by a bolt of lightning, but quickly resume their pursuit. [[Rayman]] takes refuge in a small house at the edge of the forest (presumably his), while the [[Rabbid]]s are then struck by the lightning, and travel into a TV set indoors, where they scream and mess around, making [[Rayman]] try to turn it off, but to no avail.

The next day, [[Rayman]] is washing the dishes, polishing the windows and vacuuming the house, tired from having had a sleepless night of the [[Rabbid]]s in the TV annoying him. As they go on and on, [[Rayman]] gets restless enough to where he unplugs the TV. At first, it works, but the TV switches back on and the [[Rabbid]]s continue their messing around. In his anger, [[Rayman]] slams his fist on the TV, making the corner of the screen start cracking.

The night after, [[Rayman]] is lying on the sofa with a headache and a hot water bottle on his head, and one of the [[Rabbid]]s are continuously brightening and dimming the TV, disturbing him as he tries to sleep. [[Rayman]] throws the hot water bottle at the TV, making more cracks appear.

On day four, after spending another sleepless night, [[Rayman]] is lying on the sofa with a cushion over his head, as one of the [[Rabbid]]s makes a continuous scream while he keeps changing the volume level. [[Rayman]] uses duct tape to wrap around the TV [[Rabbid]]'s mouth and the volume control, but the [[Rabbid]] continues screaming until the TV starts bloating up and the duct tape flies off onto [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] chucks the TV out the window, and it lands in the field outside.

The moles that live underneath the field struggle to spend a day of putting up with the screaming TV [[Rabbid]]s. [[Rayman]] wakes up from having had a peaceful day when he hears a knock on the door. When the opens the door, he is shocked to see the moles throwing the TV back into his house.

The next day, [[Rayman]] is reading the newspaper, the TV lying on the floor behind him. It suddenly turns on again, with a [[Rabbid]] screaming after messing around with the calibration of the screen, separating its head and torso. [[Rayman]] throws the TV into the toilet, and slams the toilet door closed.

The [[Rabbid]]s are using a hook to pull the toilet lever the following day, continuously flushing the toilet while the [[Rabbid]]s laugh mischievously. [[Rayman]] opens the door to see what all the noise is about, shocked to see what the [[Rabbid]]s are doing. He puts the TV in the sink and fills the sink up with water, but as he walks away the [[Rabbid]]s the [[Rabbid]]s start gurgling extremely loud, making the pipes start bloating up and the house starts to shake.

That following night, [[Rayman]] is trying to enjoy a game of rugby, but the [[Rabbid]]s keep interrupting it, forcing the signal back to their channels. [[Rayman]] loses his temper, disattaches his foot and throws it at the TV. The TV finally breaks, releasing the [[Rabbid]]s inside who chase [[Rayman]] out of the house. They accidentally switch the vacuum on as they pass it, and one of the [[Rabbid]]s stays behind and watches it in wonder and interest. Playing around with it, he accidentally gets the sucker attached to his ears. He then decides to stay in the house and make himself at home.

==Setting==
The setting is the TV station the [[Rabbid]]s have gotten into. From there, [[Rabbid]]s can be customized with clothes unlocked in story mode. The player can play unlocked games in training mode, and play with friends in party mode.

==Gameplay==
There are three modes in this game: story mode, party mode, and training mode. Story mode is where the player can experience what the [[Rabbid]]s did in an entire week with the television station. Party mode is for having a multiplayer game for up to eight players. Training mode is the collection of games played in both party and story mode. The game uses a channel system to play games. On each section chosen, it shows what shows are on in the time slot. When one game is completed, it is saved. Whenever the player goes to the slot, they can only replay that game. Beating [[Rayman]]'s score will win an accessory for the Pimp My Rabbid minigame. Among some shows, there are microgames based on TV advertisements. Beating those games gives a bonus for the minigame played, such as getting more points.

This is first game in the [[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids series]] as a whole to optionally use the Wii Balance Board.

Mr Skops

}}

'''Mr Skops''', also known as '''Skops the Scorpion''', is a giant, dark-pink scorpion with a single massive claw, and yellow spikes on his body. He is the fifth major boss in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and is encountered only once in [[Mr Skops' Stalactites]], the third and final level of [[the Caves of Skops]]. After [[Mr. Dark]] stole the [[Great Protoon]], he's become short-tempered and aggressive, attacking whoever dares to wake him up, and [[Rayman]] has to defeat him to quell his rage after accidentally waking him up.

Mr. Skops forms part of the first transformation of [[Mr Dark]] (head and claw) fought at the end of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''==
===First phase===
Mr Skops is first encountered when sleeping on the other side of a fiery pit covered with [[Spiky platform (Rayman 1)|spiky platform]]s. [[Rayman]] finds himself in front of the sleeping Mr Skops who, angry at being woken, attacks him.
<table>
<td>[[File:SkopsDort.png|thumb|316px|left|class=sprite|Mr Skops becomes angry when he wakes up.]]</td>
</table>

He attacks by throwing his claw, which [[Rayman]] must jump over as it sails towards him, and again as it returns to its owner. Mr Skops also strikes the ground with his claw, causing the [[Spiky platform (Rayman 1)|spiky platform]]s which [[Rayman]] stands on to fall into the lava below, one by one.
<table>
<td>[[File:SkopsRigolo.png|thumb|316px|left|class=sprite|class=sprite|Mr Skops preparing to fight.]]</td>
<td>[[File:SkopsFrappeSol.png|thumb|316px|left|class=sprite|class=sprite|Mr Skops thumping the ground.]]</td>
<td>[[File:SkopsLancePince.png|thumb|316px|left|class=sprite|class=sprite|Mr Skops hurling his claw forward.]]</td>
</table>

When all the [[Spiky platform (Rayman 1)|spiky platform]]s are gone, [[Rayman]] must [[Hanging|grab the edge]] of the platform Mr Skops is standing on to avoid his attacks, and then jump back onto the platform when he thumps the ground. Mr Skops then runs away, while causing lava to rise in an attempt to kill [[Rayman]]. He also demonstrates his ability to shoot energy balls from his tail, which destroys the next set of [[Spiky platform (Rayman 1)|spiky platform]]s [[Rayman]] must use to avoid the lava.

<td>[[File:SkopsTire.png|thumb|316px|left|class=sprite|Mr Skops firing energy balls.]]</td>
</table>

Once this set of [[Spiky platform (Rayman 1)|spiky platform]]s have been destroyed, [[Rayman]] will continue to advance as Mr. Skops retreats, finding an [[exit sign]] leading to the next phase of the battle.

===Second phase===
[[Rayman]] then has a one-on-one battle with Mr Skops, in which he must dodge his claw and [[Telescopic fist|punch]] his energy balls back at him. When he has only one [[Resistance|health point]] left, he moves forward, making his last attacks much harder to dodge.

Once beaten, Mr Skops falls to pieces while smiling showing he is at peace once more.

===The ending===
[[File:VAC-5.png|frame|right|class=sprite|A reformed and benevolent Mr Skops enjoys his holidays after the defeat of [[Mr Dark]] by relaxing onboard [[Space Mama]]'s pirate ship.]]
Once [[Mr Dark]] has been defeated, [[the Great Protoon]] restored and [[Betilla]] rescued, the entirety of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] cast are seen to go on holiday, amongst the images of the holiday is one of Mr Skops, who seems to have lost all hostility.

At a very early point in its production, [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] was [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)|planned for release on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. In 2010, the French retro-gaming magazine [[Pix'n Love]] printed an article on the history of the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], including several in-game screenshots of [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)|the scrapped Super Nintendo version]]. One screenshot depicts [[Rayman]] and his female companion battling a very early version of Mr Skops. This version of the character can still shoot electricity from the tip of his tail, but he looks much more like a real scorpion; he has two claws instead of one, and his carapace is a shady orange colour rather than a bright pink.

Some pieces of advertisement from the game, as well as the packaging of some versions, bear a screenshot which shows [[Rayman]] battling Mr Skops in [[the Dream Forest]] rather than in [[the Caves of Skops]]. It is not known if this screenshot was created solely for the purpose of marketing, or if this scenario actually existed in any early version of the game. Neither of the [[Rayman (early production)|leaked Atari Jaguar prototypes]] contain any trace of this battle, although they differ from [[Rayman 1|the final version]] in numerous other ways.

Sergueï

Vittorio Fedele: /* In Rayman Raving Rabbids */

{{quote|text=Sergueï is a softy. Out of pure coquetry, he wears a delightful, finely worked metal muzzle. His joie de vivre and his strong sense of repartee make him a very pleasant companion. He's always ready to keep things light and lively with little tricks, such as grinding phalanxes, switching your clavicles or even playing "this little piggy" with your toes.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''}}

{{Character
| name = Sergueï
| image = [[File:Serguei.jpg|center|200px|Sergueï]]
| alignment = Bad
| appears in = ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' (DS)]]
| sex = Male
| species = [[Rabbid]]
| status = Gatekeeper
}}

'''Sergueï''' (''Grandus Lapinus''), also known as '''Rabble Droid''', is a character from the console versions of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' and the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. He is also known as '''Kong-Bunny''', possibly due to his King Kong like appearance.

== Description ==
Sergueï is noticeably larger, hairier and tougher than most of the other [[Rabbid]]s, and wears a metal headpiece with a muzzle over his head.

== Appearances ==
=== In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' ===
It is his job to guard the prisoners of the Colosseum and take [[Rayman]] in and out of his cell each day in the console versions of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. In the first 6 days, he acts like a brute, violently throwing [[Rayman]] in his cell or the Colosseum, but he softens up over time and starts escorting him normally in the mid-game. By the final days, he leads a choir of [[Rabbids]] as they go to the Colosseum.

=== In the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']] ===
In the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']] he is known as Rabble Droid and is the final boss in the game. [[Rayman]] can face him once he has earned at least 90 [[Trophy|trophies]]. Rabble Droid is fought in the [[Rayman Gear]] robot. He has three different types of attacks. The first one is a small blue orb which he shoots and which [[Rayman]] can reflect back with his shield. The second one is a red orb which has to be shoot at with the machine gun before being reflected back, and then shoot at again to turn it red before it hits Rabble Droid who has put up his own shields. The third attack is a giant yellow glowing orb which can only be knocked back slightly with the machine gun. [[Rayman]] has to use his hook to get Rabblde Droid closer to it before being able to knock it back at him.

=== In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'' ===
Although he does not appear in the other [[Rabbids series|Rabbids games]], he appears in the North American cover of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', holding onto the Eiffel Tower, much like King Kong holding onto the Empire State Building.

{{stub}}

[[File:BadAtPeekABoo.jpg|thumb|260px|Rayman sneaking behind Serguei's back]]
'''Bunnies Are Bad At Peek-A-Boo''' is a minigame in the console version of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''.

==Gameplay==
In this game, [[Rayman]] is a number of feet away from [[Serguei]], who is guarding the gate at the end of the corridor. He has to tiptoeing closer and closer to Serguei behind his back, but also has to stop before the giant [[Rabbid]] turns around on the count of three. The player then has to point Rayman's hand in a circle that slightly moves around on the screen, or press the buttons that appear on-screen in non-Wii versions. If Rayman is caught either tiptoeing or with his hand outside the circle (doesn't press the button in time or presses the wrong button in the non-Wii versions), the game ends with a loss. Rayman has to repeatedly tiptoe until he slides underneath a gap in the gate, and escapes.

==Score mode==
In score mode, the player must reach the gate in under 39.50 seconds in order to achieve a perfect (1,000) score.

'''Bunnies Never Close Doors''' is a minigame in the console version of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''.

==Gameplay==
In this game, there are four public toilets at the beach, each being occupied by a [[Rabbid]], but the doors keep swinging open. The aim is to keep all the doors shut for as long as possible. As the time goes by, the doors of the toilets will swing open at a faster rate. The game ends if a Rabbid sees the player from inside their toilet and throws a plunger at the screen. Part 2 has scuba-diving [[Rabbids]], and if they are slapped, they will retaliate and end the minigame.

'''Bunnies Are Slow To React''' is a minigame in the console version of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''.

==Gameplay==
In this game, three [[Rabbid]]s stand close to one another, one of which hits another on the head with a club. The victim [[Rabbid]]'s brain is then zoomed in to reveal a maze made of bones that has to be tilted to transfer the brain signal (which looks like a ball) from top to bottom, without it falling into the holes, as quickly as possible. If it does fall in, the player will lose, but if the player wins, then this [[Rabbid]] will make his reaction by attacking his opponent with three times larger strength and brutality. If the player beats a record, the cutscene is slightly different, as the [[Rabbid]] will also attack [[Professor Barranco]].

'''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 Adventures]]''. 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|the 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]]. 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 [[mosquito]] 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 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|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]].

==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. From this point until he meets [[Ssssam]] in [[the Marshes of Awakening]]. 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 at the near end of the game when the pirates enslave his children. He tries to fight them to protect his family, but he's overwhelmed, take as prisoner and used as live bait to lure [[Rayman]] to [[the Crow's Nest]] Before [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] can kill him, [[Rayman]] shows up and they get shot, but the shot 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]]''. He is also playable in ''[[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. <br>
'''Likes:''' Sleeping under trees, playing with his [[Baby Globox|boys]], and rock music. <br>
'''Dislikes:''' Danger, being woken up suddently by [[Tily]], and journeys across the world. <br>
'''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]]'' and its spin-offs==
{{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.

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 [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]===
In this game, 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 [[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]]'', 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 [[Begoniax]], from whom he is rescued by [[Rayman]].

[[Rayman]] and Globox then go on a mission to stop the [[Hoodlums]] 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|the 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|the 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 fly 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 that Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] refers to Globox as "the biggest [[glute]] in [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]" when that name was used in reference to [[bird]]-like creatures that only appeared in the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|beta]] of ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

He is considered an ''Epic Crossover Skin'', along with [[Barbara]]. Globox comes with signature FX swaps, Legend Name and icon swaps, custom Lock-In animation, and two weapon skins which include two [[mosquito]]es which Globox uses as guns as well as [[Selena]]'s sword which is called the Selena Smasher here. Globox costs 300 Blue Mammoth coins to be unlocked.

==Trivia==
*Globox was one of the six collectible ''[[Rayman 2]]'' [[figures]] given away with French McDonald's Happy Meals.
*Although not seen in the game, he has a default score of 12000 in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''.
*Globox was going to make an appearance in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', as a character [[Rayman]] was going to rescue from the [[Rabbid]]s, but this idea was scrapped.
*During [[Rayman 2 (early production)|the production of ''Rayman 2'']], Globox's original name was [[Globber]].
*It is interesting to note that most male Globoxes end with the suffix 'ox' and most females have 'ette' at the end of their name: [[Uglette]], [[Brainox]] and [[Catastrox]] are some of the names that follow this rule.
*In a later state of [[Rayman 2 (early production)|production of ''Rayman 2'']], Globox had originally 35 sons and one of them was named [[Globs]].<ref>Rayman2.com, http://web.archive.org/web/20000303171408/http://www.rayman2.com/en/story/story_txt1.html</ref>
*In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Globox is scaleless and his mouth is completely pink.

'''Uglette''' is a [[toad]]-like character who appears in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes, although she does not appear in [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color adaptation]]. She is the wife of [[Rayman]]'s best friend, [[Globox]]; together, they have [[Baby Globox|over 650 children]].

==Description==
Uglette is a member of [[Globox's species|the same species]] as [[Globox]]; she looks very similar to him, except that she is pink whereas [[Globox]] is blue. In the PlayStation and [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Uglette also wears a pink bow, like [[Globette]] in ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', giving her a more distinctive appearance. [[The Knowledge of the World]] reveals that, along with [[Globox|her husband]], Uglette was dreamed up by [[Polokus]], who used his sense of humour in doing so.

Like her husband [[Globox]], Uglette has a friendly and cheerful personality, although she does not seem to share his cowardly nature. A maternal creature, she is very protective of [[baby Globox|her children]], and becomes distraught when [[Globox]] or [[Globox|the children]] are kidnapped by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s – a regular occurrence.

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==
In all versions, except in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' where she can be encountered earlier on, and ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'' where she is completely absent, Uglette debuts in [[the Iron Mountains]], with one earlier mention by [[Globox|her husband]] during [[the Canopy]]. When [[Rayman]] is exploring [[the Iron Mountains]] after freeing [[Baby Globox|her children]] from the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children|reformatory]], he comes across Uglette, crying as [[Baby Globox|her babies]] have been imprisoned down the mines, and to make matters worse, [[Globox]] tried to stop the pirates, but he got captured too in an attempt to protect his family. [[Rayman]] tells her not to cry and takes a nearby [[warship]] through a flooded valley. He finds the four mines and takes the [[baby Globox]]es to safety in the ship. Uglette is overjoyed to see [[Baby Globox|her children]] safe and thanks [[Rayman]]. One of [[Baby Globox|the Globoxes]] then reveals that he found [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] down the mines. Uglette wishes [[Rayman]] luck as he teleports back to [[the Hall of Doors]]. She is later seen at [[Rayman]]'s funeral with [[Globox]] and some of [[Baby Globox|their children]]. She celebrates with the others when it is revealed that he survived.

===In the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''===
In the PlayStation version, Uglette receives her first mention in [[the Canopy]] as before, but is mentioned further by the [[Teensie]]s after opening [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] door, when they tell [[Rayman]] that [[Baby Globox|her babies]] are held on the [[The Iron Mountains#PlayStation version|Gloomy Island]], the alternative name for [[the Iron Mountains]] in this version. When he reaches [[The Iron Mountains#PlayStation version|Gloomy Island]], [[Rayman]] encounters Uglette straight away, and promises to find [[Baby Globox|her babies]] in a similar scene to the original, with dialogue changed only to reflect the different setting. [[Rayman]] frees [[Baby Globox|the babies]] at [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children|the Reformatory]] (the mines are omitted) and they return to Uglette in a scene with a different setting but essentially identical to that in the original.

===In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''===
In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Uglette is portrayed as living in [[Globox's House]], near a cliff on [[the Front]]. She can be optionally encountered here as soon as [[Rayman]] can access it after [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] and will either thank [[Rayman]] for his efforts or despair over her husband's imprisonment depending on the stage of the game the player is at. She is still mentioned in [[the Canopy]], and still appears at [[the Pirate Mines]], now a separate level from [[the Iron Mountains]]. Instead of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]], a [[baby Globox]] will give [[Rayman]] the [[Rain Mask]] at this point, giving [[Rayman]] the ability to perform the [[Rain Dance]], and Uglette will give him a brief description of its use, before leaving with [[Baby Globox|her children]].

In the Japanese version, she doesn't have any scales and her mouth is completely pink.

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==
{{quote|text=Ah! Uglette! How are [[Baby Globox|your 650 kids]]? And [[Globox|that handful of a hubby]]...! I don't know how you do it...! A little love tap from time to time should keep [[Globox]] in line. Mom power!|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]'' (unused dialogue)}}
At one point, Uglette was intended to be a playable character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but she [[Rayman Origins (early production)|was not included in the final version of the game]]. Her only mention is in the above unused dialogue.

Telescopic fist

2023-09-14T23:06:59Z

Vittorio Fedele: /* In the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids */

The '''telescopic fist''' is the first power [[Rayman]] receives. It usually serves as his primary offensive ability and is seen in most titles within the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] in some form.

==In ''Rayman''==
{{quote|text=Hello [[Rayman]], I'm [[Betilla]] the Fairy, and I'm going to help you in your quest. I can give you a new power.
Now you can punch with your fist. Good luck! Press the □ button to punch. The longer you press, the further you punch.|sign=[[Betilla]] the Fairy in [[Pink Plant Woods]]|source=''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''}}

The telescopic fist is the first power that [[Rayman]] is granted by [[Betilla]] in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] in [[Pink Plant Woods]]. It is his most widely used power, and with it, he can hurl a fist that defeats any enemies that are in his way. Another power, the [[grappling fist]], allows [[Rayman]]'s fist to grab objects such as extra [[Life|lives]] and [[flying ring]]s. It can be powered up by picking up [[Gold Fist|gold fists]], which double the fist power, and [[Speed Fist|speed fists]] which make him throw it faster. Picking up a second [[Speed Fist|speed fist]] will further increase the speed. [[Rayman]] can also increase the power of his punches by either charging the fist or punching while jumping.

During the encounter with [[Mr Dark]] in [[Mr Dark's Dare]], [[Rayman]]'s fist is stolen by [[Mr Dark]]. The [[Electoon]]s do however come to [[Rayman]]'s aid and gives it back to him.

</gallery>

In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of the original game]], [[Rayman]] begins the game with the telescopic fist and its origins are never explained. The [[Gold Fist]] power-up appears throughout the game but the [[Speed Fist]] does not. [[Rayman]] gains the [[grappling fist]] power-up after completing the [[Rocky Peaks]] world.

==In ''Rayman 2''==
In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] [[Magic fist|shoots energy balls]] instead of throwing his fist when attacking. However, at the beginning of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', he is temporarily given the ability to punch by [[Globox]]. This power only lasts until he frees the [[Grand Minimus]] in [[the Woods of Light]], where he is given the [[Magic fist|shooting]] power as in the other versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

According to ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman|the History of Rayman]]'', ''[[Rayman 2]]'' was initially going to include the traditional telescopic fist power, but due to visual and gameplay problems, it was replaced by the [[magic fist]].

In ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', [[Rayman]] uses his telescopic fist in the same manner as the original game.

==In ''Rayman 3''==
{{quote|text=[[Rayman]] doesn’t have big biceps – hardly surprising, for an armless hero! – but he does have 2 fists which can prove to be very powerful.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

The telescopic fist returns in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. [[Rayman]] can shoot it laterally by strafing around enemies. The fist can be upgraded temporarily by the [[Laser-Washing Powder]] cans some [[Hoodlum]]s leave behind. Using his fist isn't his only means of attack in the game. [[Rayman]] can also kick his opponents if he is close enough.

The telescopic fist can be used offensively against most enemies in the game, barring the [[Knaaren]] who do not take damage against it and can only be evaded. The stilts of the [[Stumbleboom]] are also resistant to [[Rayman]]'s telescopic fist, but can be destroyed if the [[Vortex]] power-up is active.

</gallery>

===In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3''===
In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], [[Rayman]] uses his telescopic fist in a similar manner to how it was used in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], with him being able to charge his fists for stronger attacks or just throw them normally. Throughout the game he will receive several upgrades for his fists, such as being able to throw both at once, grab [[Purple Lum]]s and charge the fists for even stronger attacks.

==In the Nintendo versions of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids''==
===In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids''===
[[File:RRR GBA Hands.png|class=sprite|frame|right|[[Rayman]] finding his fists in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]]]

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Rayman]]'s fists behave as they did in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], but without any upgrades except for the one to grab [[Purple Lum]]s and his Super Fist. He starts out the game without his fists, though quickly finds them after escaping.

{{clear}}

===In the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids''===
In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Rayman]] is able to use both his telescopic fist and shoot [[Yellow Lum]]s. However, his telescopic fist functions differently in comparison to most titles. His fist does not retract when shot, nor can it be charged. It deals half the damage of [[Yellow Lum]]s and can't defeat all enemy types. Unlike [[Yellow Lum]]s it can however be used an infinite number of times.

==In ''Rayman Origins'' and ''Rayman Legends''==
[[Rayman]] begins ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' with only the ability to jump on enemies to defeat them, this is quickly rectified as [[Rayman]] and his friends rescue [[Betilla]] in [[It's a Jungle Out There...]], who then gives the heroes the ability to attack. Unlike past titles, where the telescopic fist was [[Rayman]]'s primary means of attack, [[Rayman]] is now able to perform a variety of attacks and combos. The telescopic fist remains accessible to [[Rayman]] by holding down the attack button, and releasing, as it behaved in past titles. Other heroes also have attacks that are functionally similar, but aesthetically different, [[Globox]] attacks using slaps, while [[Teensie]]s attack using magic.

The attack power is retained in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', all previous characters use the same attacks, barring the ground kick move, which is changed to a ground slam move.

==In ''Rayman in the Phantom Show''==
In ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', [[Rayman]] can use his telescopic fist during exploration to punch objects, including breakable ones, and start battles with enemies. Charging his fist allows it to reach further, while his [[grappling fist]] ability allows him to grab objects with it.

In combat, while he can grab [[purple Lum]]s with his [[grappling fist]] to move around, he does not use his fist to fight enemies, instead relying on his [[Blaster]] and [[Plunger Guard]] weapons, and his [[Vortex]] and [[Shock Rocket|Rocket]] costumes.

==Other games==
[[File:Rayman card.jpg|320px|thumb|left|[[Rayman]]'s fist in the discontinued ''[[Rabbids Heroes]]'']]

[[Rayman]]'s telescopic fist is an unlockable weapon in the [[Ubisoft]] game, ''Prince of Persia: Warrior Within''. One of the cards in the now discontinued game ''[[Rabbids Heroes]]'', is named after [[Rayman]]'s fist.

'''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 Adventures]]''. 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|the 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]]. 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 [[mosquito]] 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 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|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]].

==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. From this point until he meets [[Ssssam]] in [[the Marshes of Awakening]]. 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 at the near end of the game, this time used as live bait to lure [[Rayman]] to [[the Crow's Nest]]. When he gets here, [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] shoots him, but misses and hits the pole that hangs Globox upside down, but he insists that [[Rayman]] should carry on fighting the [[Grolgoth]] rather than saving 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]]''. He is also playable in ''[[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. <br>
'''Likes:''' Sleeping under trees, playing with his [[Baby Globox|boys]], and rock music. <br>
'''Dislikes:''' Danger, being woken up suddently by [[Tily]], and journeys across the world. <br>
'''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]]'' and its spin-offs==
{{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.

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 [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]===
In this game, 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 [[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 [[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's unable to jump, he needs help to reach an alternate path. Globox can't die by falling into lava or water or get killed by enemies, since he'll run from them without [[plum juice]], he can't fall into it and he doesn't have a healthbar 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 [[Begoniax]], from whom he is rescued by [[Rayman]].

[[Rayman]] and Globox then go on a mission to stop the [[Hoodlums]] 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 a brief cameo appearance at the beginning of [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. He is seen in the [[Agony jails]] where he thanks [[Rayman]] to have freed him.

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and its spin-offs==
{{quote|text=A quiet force within [[The Glade of Dreams|the 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|the 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 fly 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 that Globox has the ability to fight enemies. For some odd reason, [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] refers to Globox as "the biggest [[glute]] in [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]" when that name was used in reference to [[bird]]-like creatures that only appeared in the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|beta]] of ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

Globox returns in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', fulfilling the same role as he did in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He, alongside [[Rayman]], a [[Grand Minimus]] and a [[Goth Teensy]] are awoken by [[Murfy]] at the beginning of [[Once upon a Time]], beginning the events of the game.

==Trivia==
*Globox was one of the six collectible ''[[Rayman 2]]'' [[figures]] given away with French McDonald's Happy Meals.
*Although not seen in the game, he has a default score of 12000 in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''.
*Globox was going to make an appearance in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', as a character [[Rayman]] was going to rescue from the [[Rabbid]]s, but this idea was scrapped.
*During [[Rayman 2 (early production)|the production of ''Rayman 2'']], Globox's original name was [[Globber]].
*It is interesting to note that most male Globoxes end with the suffix 'ox' and most females have 'ette' at the end of their name: [[Uglette]], [[Brainox]] and [[Catastrox]] are some of the names that follow this rule.
*In a later state of [[Rayman 2 (early production)|production of ''Rayman 2'']], Globox had originally 35 sons and one of them was named [[Globs]].<ref>Rayman2.com, http://web.archive.org/web/20000303171408/http://www.rayman2.com/en/story/story_txt1.html</ref>

'''''Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party''''' (known as '''''Rayman Prod' Présente : The Lapins Crétins Show''''' in France) is the third game in the ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' spin-off series, and the final game in the [[Rabbids (series)|series]] to feature [[Rayman]] until ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' as a downloadable content. It is followed by ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'' in 2009 and ''[[Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time]]'' in 2010.

==Announcement==
The game was officially announced on May 28, 2008 via the Ubidays conference in which two of the minigames were demonstrated by [[Ubisoft]] representatives and UK TV presenter Vernon Kay. Following this, several artworks depicting the [[Rabbid]]s parodying films, TV shows and celebrities (e.g. football players) were revealed on the official [[Rabbid]]s website, and recently official gameplay trailers were released.

==Plot==
Deep in the forest, [[Rayman]] is running away from a small group of [[Rabbid]]s that had appeared from his broken TV in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2|the previous game]]. For a few moments, they are distracted by a bolt of lightning, but quickly resume their pursuit. [[Rayman]] takes refuge in a small house at the edge of the forest (presumably his), while the [[Rabbid]]s are then struck by the lightning, and travel into a TV set indoors, where they scream and mess around, making [[Rayman]] try to turn it off, but to no avail.

The next day, [[Rayman]] is washing the dishes, polishing the windows and vacuuming the house, tired from having had a sleepless night of the [[Rabbid]]s in the TV annoying him. As they go on and on, [[Rayman]] gets restless enough to where he unplugs the TV. At first, it works, but the TV switches back on and the [[Rabbid]]s continue their messing around. In his anger, [[Rayman]] slams his fist the TV, making the corner of the screen start cracking.

The night after, [[Rayman]] is lying on the sofa with a headache and a hot water bottle on his head, and one of the [[Rabbid]]s are continuously brightening and dimming the TV, disturbing him as he tries to sleep. [[Rayman]] throws the hot water bottle at the TV, making more cracks appear.

On day four, after spending another sleepless night, [[Rayman]] is lying on the sofa with a cushion over his head, as one of the [[Rabbid]]s makes a continuous scream while he keeps changing the volume level. [[Rayman]] uses duct tape to wrap around the TV [[Rabbid]]'s mouth and the volume control, but the [[Rabbid]] continues screaming until the TV starts bloating up and the duct tape flies off onto [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] chucks the TV out the window, and it lands in the field outside.

The moles that live underneath the field struggle to spend a day of putting up with the screaming TV [[Rabbid]]s. [[Rayman]] wakes up from having had a peaceful day when he hears a knock on the door. When the opens the door, he is shocked to see the moles throwing the TV back into his house.

The next day, [[Rayman]] is reading the newspaper, the TV lying on the floor behind him. It suddenly turns on again, with the screaming [[Rabbid]]s. [[Rayman]] throws the TV into the toilet, and slams the toilet door closed.

The [[Rabbid]]s are using a hook to pull the toilet lever the following day, continuously flushing the toilet while the [[Rabbid]]s laugh mischievously. [[Rayman]] opens the door to see what all the noise is about, shocked to see what the [[Rabbid]]s are doing. He puts the TV in the sink and fills the sink up with water, but as he walks away the [[Rabbid]]s the [[Rabbid]]s start gurgling extremely loud, making the pipes start bloating up and the house starts to shake.

That following night, [[Rayman]] is trying to enjoy a game of Rugby, but the [[Rabbid]]s keep interrupting it, forcing the signal back to their channels. [[Rayman]] loses his temper, disattaches his foot and throws it at the TV. The TV finally breaks, releasing the [[Rabbid]]s inside who chase [[Rayman]] out of the house. They accidentally switch the vacuum on as they pass it, and one of the [[Rabbid]]s stays behind and watches it in wonder and interest. Playing around with it, he accidentally gets the sucker attached to his ears. He then decides to stay in the house and make himself at home.

==Setting==
The setting is the TV station the [[Rabbid]]s have gotten into. From there, [[Rabbid]]s can be customized with clothes unlocked in story mode. The player can play unlocked games in training mode, and play with friends in party mode.

==Gameplay==
There are three modes in this game: story mode, party mode, and training mode. Story mode is where the player can experience what the [[Rabbid]]s did in an entire week with the television station. Party mode is for having a multiplayer game for up to eight players. Training mode is the collection of games played in both party and story mode. The game uses a channel system to play games. On each section chosen, it shows what shows are on in the time slot. When one game is completed, it is saved. Whenever the player goes to the slot, they can only replay that game. Beating [[Rayman]]'s score will win an accessory for the Pimp My Rabbid minigame. Among some shows, there are microgames based on TV advertisements. Beating those games gives a bonus for the minigame played, such as getting more points.

This is first game in the [[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids series]] as a whole to optionally use the Wii Balance Board.

'''''Rayman 3D''''' is a port of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', and a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS. It is almost identical to the Dreamcast version of the original game, but now takes advantage of the 3DS's stereoscopic 3D display.

==Differences from ''[[Rayman 2]]''==
*''Rayman 3D'' is built off the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', and shares the same [[The Isle of Doors|Isle of Doors]] hub level as well as most exclusive cheats and graphical enhancements. It however does not have the minigames from the Dreamcast version.
*The [[Stone of Thought]], [[Purple Lum]], and ledge leading to [[Globox Village]] in the Dreamcast version were removed in the 3DS game.
*The [[Keg|Powder Keg]] now uses a higher-poly, rounder model.
*The [[plum]] is now a 3D model as in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', rather than the 2D sprite seen in all other versions. The original [[plum]] texture can be seen on part of the new model.
*Lighting is brighter in most levels (most noticeable in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] and [[the Iron Mountains]]), and the lighting/shading on [[Rayman]]'s model is no longer affected by light sources.
*[[Rayman]] no longer loses health from drops into bottomless pits. If a drop is fatal, he respawns with full health.
*During the [[Teensie]] cutscenes before entering a level containing one of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the four masks]], the dialogue "Go on! Go in!" and "Come on! Don't be shy!" has been removed. The [[Teensie]]s still speak, but the text is no longer present.
*Both [[Axel]] and [[Foutch]] don't have any aura in this version.
*The jingle that plays when [[Rayman]] obtains a [[Four Masks of Polokus|mask]] is taken from the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS versions.
*[[Nettle]]s have a shorter, choppier animation cycle.
*When [[Rayman]] breaks a [[cage]], the total number of [[cage]]s destroyed thus far is no longer displayed on-screen.
*The intro is no longer voiced like in the Dreamcast version and doesn't have any dialogue text either.
*There's no button for stabilizing the [[flying shell]].
*There is a glitch exclusive to this version that allows you to enter the forested clearing in the [[Tomb of the Ancients secret]]. The area is blocked off by a net; however, you can glitch through that net and access the area.

==Technical issues==
Like ''[[Rayman DS]]'', the 3DS port contains several glitches exclusive to this revision.

*Due to the original 3DS' technical constraints, the game suffers from an unstable frame rate that frequently drops below the Dreamcast version's 60 frames per second, with worse performance when playing in 3D mode. The New Nintendo 3DS can play the game without any frame drops - however, this requires the console to be hacked. Software such as Luma3DS can then unlock the increased power of the New 3DS' CPU, allowing the game to run at a consistent frame rate. It is possible however that the game may crash with an "exception occurred" error after the [[Foutch]] battle, in this case the overclock will then have to be temporarily disabled until after the battle.
*The game also suffers from draw distance and pop-up issues, particularly in [[the Bayou]], [[the Precipice]], and [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], where obstacles may be invisible or suddenly appear in front of [[Rayman]].
*In the opening sequence, the [[warship]] flies ''through'' the cliffs, instead of around them.
*Skyboxes are broken in many levels. They may scroll improperly along with the camera, appear either zoomed too far in or out, disappear, or remain static. This only affects the standard "blue sky with clouds" texture. This issue is present in most versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', but it affects the 3DS version more prominently.
*Water and lava textures are often static or improperly mapped.
*Sound effects are too soft compared to the game's soundtrack, although this can be fixed by adjusting the sound mixing in the game's options. Some sound effects are missing as well, including some of [[Rayman]]'s grunts and the "power-up" sound heard when collecting a [[Power Fist]].
*[[Rayman]]'s hands do not turn golden after collecting a [[Power Fist]].
*In the secret passage in the third phase of [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], the last cobweb is rendered invisible, making it unclear how to reach the cage. Despite the missing texture, it still functions normally.
*The [[1000th Yellow Lum]] secret suffers from a myriad of glitches that make it difficult to obtain. Even if it is successfully obtained, the exit to the area does not function and will lock [[Rayman]]'s movement, so the player must quit the level in order to save the collection of [[1000th Yellow Lum|the Lum]].
*Many times throughout the game the correct music won't start playing at the correct time.

==History==
The existence of ''Rayman 3D'' was leaked several weeks in advance of its announcement by the Australian Classification Board, although they gave little information beyond the title; in the press release in which they officially announced the game, [[Ubisoft]] revealed that, like [[Rayman 2 (iOS)|the iOS version of ''Rayman 2'']], ''Rayman 3D'' was to be based directly on the well-received Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Four screenshots were also unveiled: they show that ''Rayman 3D'' features significantly reworked graphics. The improved lighting system is visible in the screenshots of [[the Prison Ship]] and [[the Bayou]], and the stereoscopic depth effect can be seen clearly in the screenshot of the [[Whale Bay]]. The screenshot of [[the Fairy Glade]] shows that the [[keg]] has been remodelled.
