Why I love Rayman and YOU should too!

As a youngling (And by youngling, I mean 13, literally my age right now.) I used to love a certain character named Rayman. (And by love I mean obsessed) Today, yes today... I will tell you WHY you should love Rayman and join the fandom, and I will tell you about what I think of the fandom and the games. And no, when I say I'm obsessive. I AM OBESSIVE. Let start off by the main character we shall all love and care for yes.. the loveable purple eggplant with floating limbs, a banana hair cut, and a "big" nose.... well that's what he calls himself in this video right here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP0uZP9N78w Yes, that's right folks. A song that sings about his friends, himself, and uh.. celebrating..? But either way that's how his explains himself, in reality he was (Going by the origins storyline) was created by Betilla the fairy, in the Primordial Forest, with help of the magnificent moonbeams of the second... OH COME ON!! WHO EVEN MADE THIS SCRIPT?- Did I mention that Betilla called him a Thingamajig? He's literally a thingamajig guys! But anyhow, his story is different in different games. So you gotta watch out for that! (God I hate it when games do that.) 

Just like when games give you different girlfriends so then that company have to make you girlfriendless...(or something) because they dont know which one to give you. And yes, I am talking about his "girlfriends" that aren't even his anymore , and the ones that seem to give off a "Hint" that it's supposed to be his girlfriend. Lets start off the one I have beef with the most... Ly the fairy from Rayman two LIKE WHAT? They say it's supposed to be a princess peach and Mario type of thing since y'know, Rayman has to save Ly to get his power back. but I don't get it, it's seems so sketchy for a small fairy to date a big limbless--.. you get the point. But whatever, I have seen some fanart of people drawing Ly and Rayman. But I honestly dont get the ship at all, but whatever. Let's move on before I get upset, i'm already mad cuz i'm talking about this topic.. 

Next up is Raynette from Rayman Origins , am I the only one who gets a weird "SIBLINGS OR DATING!?!?" vibe from this..? I mean she literally looks like Rayman, but with a female body part and Marge Simpsons hairstyle. that's literally all that I got to say, I can treat him better tho-- 

Also it kinda weird that Globox (Rayman's best friend) has a wife and kids..? Like come on, even Razorbeard has a wife! You gotta step up your game Rayman! (I'm the game.) Let's move onto the second topic! His friends and Enemies, Rayman has a lot of friends believe it or not.

 Starting off with his best friend Globox  who has basically been through everything with him! (lets not talk about rayman 1, it dont count. 😡) In the Rayman Origins trailer it explains how Globox is basically a blood brother to Rayman, which I find so adorable since they are best-friends and stuff. based off of Wikipedia's explain of what species he even is. A "Globox is a Glute, a toad-like creature who is Rayman's dimwitted best friend and sidekick." And he is basically the second player character that nobody really cares about..

 Next up! Is Barbra  believe it or not I was actually going to put her on the "Girlfriends" list just to make it seem long, but I don't think she even matches that description according to IGN Barbra is a "axe-wielding human barbarian character in Rayman Legends. She is one of the many Princesses that can be unlocked in each world. She functions the same way as Rayman does, but uses her axe to attack enemies, as opposed to Rayman's arms." (Barbra voice lines are so cute btw.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRphjX_7ExU and believe me, or dont... she's voiced by a man.. trust me, I was shocked too...

 Next up! The Nymphs, honestly if you been in the Rayman fandom, you will know who they are. I like to think that Betilla and the other nymphs are related to Rayman, I LIKE TO THINK THAT. I will list them all by name, Wikipedia, level and game badge!

Next up, are the evil guys.... 😈 From what I can remember my favorite bad guy in Rayman is Andre from hoodlum havoc , personally me... I think that's the most underrated rayman game ever, which is a reason on why I want you to join us so we can boost the fandom up a little bit. Andre actually a red lum that has been scared by a certain object in order for it to turn evil, after it has turn evil Andre went off to scare the other lums! and well.. you get the point. Next up is The Magician from Rayman Origins , and no..I'm not talking about the on in the opening of Rayman, I'm talking about the teensie one! Honestly, he is actually cool ngl especially in this video where they all danced 💀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f908rGZzrI. Anyways he isn't he only villain in that game but I think he's a total vibe.

 Next up Mr. Dark from Rayman 1 , his DESIGN IS SO CUT IN THE OPENING, well..that's probably just me. He has big eyes and it just defeats the purpose of being scary and evil to me, i can't take buddy bro serious 😭. honestly, im not talking about the bad guys the most because I don't even care about them.. 

SIKE, NEXT UP IS RAZORBEARD FROM RAYMAN 2 BRO..HAVE YOU HERAD HIS THEME IN RAYMAN M/ARENA?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0tF72ekvp0 obviously, I like Rayman's more.. But Razor's theme just give me Invader ZIM vibes. But back to Rayman 2, honestly, because all Rayman talked about was finding Ly and Globox, and getting his powers back I will tend to forget that Razorbeard is the villain sometimes. Also when I first got into Rayman I thought that henchman 800 was the big bad guys and Razorbeard was the sidekick.. 💀 I guess size don't matter in this game, but now realizing it.. it actually makes sense now. 'Cuz he is so small he needs a HENCHMAN (get it?) to be a bodygaur-- (I honestly don't know wghat im tlaking about anymore... 😞) 

next up, my favorite but least favorite.. the Rabbids , if you been around you might know what the rabbids are. rabbit creatures that stand on two feet and will go RABBID (get it..? 😏) if they don't understand anything.. the rayman fandom has a love hate relationship, mostly hate. Personally me, I loved the rabbids since I was four. I remember going on YouTube and watching the little animated "But They Can Dance!" videos online. I also used to binge watch the show, btw Rayman should've been in Rabbids Invasion. Also I don't like how Ubisoft is trying to portray them as heroes, you know whos the real hero??! RAYMAN. 

time for me to explain my opinion on each rayman game that I at least know about!  Rayman 1 

honestly, if it wasn't so hard I would rate it a 10/10, still 10/10 anyways because it's Rayman! But yeah, it depends on what game system you are playing it on. I usually play it on my 2ds XL because I just think it's a cool game. I'm just sad it dont have all the sound effects that would usually play if it was on the PlayStation 1, but it's weird because they slowed down Rayman's voice clips, as IF THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID COPYRIGHT NINTENDO. Either way, I think this is a lovely game, I don't know about playing this game as a starter, but yeah.. it's pretty fun! The levels are iconic and the whole vibe make you feel like you're in a enchanted forest, I recommend playing it on a PlayStation, or a game console that has a game controller. Playing it on PC is very hard unless your one of those gamers who can basically do anything. 

Next up Rayman GBC!

Honestly, it's just Rayman 1 but wayy easier since the Game Boy Color only had five buttons, I also play this game on my DS and it's really fun, I think the game over looks goofy though. The intro was really cute imo, Rayman is always falling on the floor. No matter how big of a hero buddy bro is, he always trippin' 😭🙏‼ 10/10 

Next on the list is Rayman 2! 

I can't believe i'm saying this, but I used to HATE HATE HATEE his design in this photo. I love it now dw, I just think they needed to give him back is mascara 😭 you'll understand what I am talking about later, but other than that. Besides the weird camera angles at some point. THIS IS A VERY FUN GAME AND YOU SHOULD PLAY IT! I am still scared of this game btw, but I play it on my DS everyday. So..uh yeah.!! and razorbeard!! But honestly, I love Rayman's dialog in this game, it's very funny. 10/10

Next is one of my favorites Rayman M/Arena

As somebody who ACTUALLY HAVE THE GAME ON GAMECUBE, It's really fun! This game just have a lot of versions on each other THIS GAME HAS 3 VERSIONS, RAYMAN RUSH, RAYMAN ARENA, AND RAYMAN M, if I had to choose it would be my personal all-time favorite is Rayman M because of it's intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9TeI19xyhs, AND ALSO. THE MUSIC IS SUCH A BOP IN THIS GAME, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THE CHARACTERS THEMES, I'll list my top 5, Rayman's theme, Razorbeard theme, Teensie's theme, Globox's theme, and Henchman 800's theme. The maps are very fun, and the races are too. It reminds me of Sonic Fighters, I guess all like sonic and Mario had a specific type of fighting game. But other than that! 10/10 gameplay, 10/10 music, and 10/10 EVERYTHING. 

next MY ALLTIME FAVORITE FOR REAL FOR REAL..... RAYMAN 3!!!

do i even have to explain how AWESOME this game is? the MUSIC, the COMMERCIALS?? THE ANIMATION?? THE MODELS?? I WISH THEY PORTED IT TO THE NINTENDO DS, BECAUSE HOLY COW. I think i explained enough earlier of how underrated this lovely game is man. 1000/10

next up.. uh rayman raving rabbids

um.. i mean..uh.. its.. okay?... this game is the reaosn why rayman is dead though... sosoo...erm....uhhh...?...the only thing that I like is how you can change raymans design. AND HIS LIL VICTORY DANCE BRO. IT'S SO CUTE... 5/10 only rated 5 because of his dance. 😒

ew...next up is rayman raving rabbids 2..

...OKAY ILL ADMIT IT... I LOVE THIS GAME OS MUCH. rayman acting like one of them is the most funniest thing i even seen since the rayman sings __bomb video, AND THE INTRO AND OUTRO IS JUST CHEFS KISS, I love how they actually include rayman and the rabbids playing against each other, and the game is REALLY fun because I have it. (The cd is still in my Wii btw) and the graphics are good in my opinion, which I hope you guys know i'm rating it based on my opinion, it's your duty to go off and watch the gameplay (Or buy the game if ur DAT DAWG) 100/100.

NEXT IS RAYMAN ORIGINS 

This game is very underrated and I think we should all go on tiktok and tell people to play it, ITS A VERY EASY GAME, HE CAN ACTUALLY SWIM UNDER THE WATER NOW (he's been able to do that 💀) I think SOME people just like the game for the nymphs.. AND NO, THE CAVE SCENE IS FAKE, USE UR BRAIN MAN.. WHY WOULD THEY PUT THAT IN A KIDS GAME 😒 100/100.

NEXT UP! RAYMAN LEGENDS. 

i have ONE thing to say to you BUDDY...... gloo gloo gloo gloo gloo (1000/10, this game is very cool, I just got too lazy to even talk more about it..) 

FINALLY, TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE FANDOM ITSELF, AND SOME MEDIA THAT I LOVE.
