Today marks the 5th anniversary of the best update Ryemanni has ever released for Rayman ReDesigner! 🎂

Who cares about Rayman 4 when you got WHOOPEE CUSHIONS? 💨

To mark such an important day, Rayfanpedia has been updated with the most important and useful mind-blowing informations any Rayman fan may ever want! 👀

Did you know that Rayman Redemption lets you play as Rayman, the limbless character that sometimes appears in the Rayman series? 🤯

Archive of the 2025 version:

April Fools' Day! :P

By the way, the abomination you may have seen in the background of the video above is the Trollfish, one of my greatest worst creations! 🙃

It parodies the French "poisson d'avril" tradition ("april fish", often consisting in a prank about sneakily attaching a paper fish to someone's back), and its first ugly drawing dates back to roughly a decade ago! I just had to remake it for that ReDesigner joke! 😛

The custom background and the level have since been made available as a bonus for my ColorFun and DarkLight skin packs in Rayman ReDesigner! I have yet to update them for 1.4.4...

This bundle contains all the skins and levels from the ColorFun and DarkLight skin packs. It also adds custom content for the levels.

So I got into Fire Emblem Three Houses a few months ago... and today is the best day to post about the supreme consumer of cakes and annihilator of Death Knights!

Happy birthday, Lysithea! 🎂

Alt version:

"Repost to scare a Death Knight". :P

After the Yamakasi collector DVD featuring a lot of Rayman stuff, here’s another edition of a Luc Besson movie containing extras from the Rayman franchise!

Taxi 3’s collector set has a bonus disc with a bunch of Rayman 3 content on it! This includes a 2002 PC demo of Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc, the game’s opening with Madder by Groove Armada, and the prerelease versions of three Wanna Kick Rayman Animations!

As you can see, these are the lessons numbered 100 (073 on GameCube), 312, 502… Except the first is ‘007’ in this early release, a further reference to James Bond!

It seems the Blu-ray of Taxi 3 also includes at least one Wanna Kick Rayman animation according to the back of its box, but I don’t have a copy yet to confirm that… It may actually be all three of those as they’re all bundled into a single video file.

All of this content has been archived here, along the trailer for the infamous Taxi 3 game adaptation also by Ubisoft!

Rayman 3 demo and videos from the bonus disc featured in the French collector box set of Taxi 3, also including the trailer for the movie's

Yet another thing that was hiding in plain sight for the past two decades! Even getting a copy in near-perfect condition was surprisingly very cheap, at least in France!

Sadly, there wasn’t really anything exclusive this time, unlike the Yamakasi animation… But it’s still nice to see how much we can still unearth from Rayman’s history even today! :)

Joyeuse Halloween ! Pour vous effrayer cette année, voici le Point de septembre avec le terrifiant retard d’un mois entier ! Celui-ci est accompagné par l’arrivée d’une dizaine d’albums pour mes captures d’écran et plus de trois cents images supplémentaires pour marquer l’occasion ! 👻

An animation of Rayman never seen online since 2001!

Hi everyone, I made a great discovery! While rummaging through my box of Rayman Rush, I noticed that the Yamakasi movie had a collector edition which contains a ton of Rayman goodies, and notably an animation that has seemingly never been shared online since 2001!

That's right, this is Rayman and Globox in their Rayman M / Arena versions doing some funny flips on a roof, Yamakasi-style!

The CD-ROM from the box set also contains:

-A demo of Rayman 2 The Great Escape.

-Two Rayman M wallpapers of Rayman and Tily.

-A Rayman M screensaver.

-A Rayman M theme, with five cursors, six sounds, an icon library (and the Rayman background again).

-A French trailer of Rayman M, which you can also watch below!

It also contains an executable that can launch all of those features, though some may not work correctly on modern devices.

Here's what the collector set looks like! Luckily, despite the obvious age of the box, the discs were in mint condition thanks to its caring previous owner! :)

All of this has been archived!

Rayman Yamakasi Collector CD (2001) : Ubi Soft : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Rayman bonus content provided with the French collector CD of Yamakasi.YouTube previews:Rayman as Yamakasi exclusive animation:...

It's crazy to think that this was lying right under our noses for the past 24 years! I was genuinely believing that such a thing must have been shared many times on the Internet since 2001, but even in the French community, little to no one even knew about any Rayman/Yamakasi collab despite some releases of Rayman M and Rush promoting it! :0

If you ever think you may have found something rare, please look it up and share it if it's not already online, so many media get forgotten despite some of them being pretty easily available for decades!

I hope this nostalgic discovery brought you a smile, and have a fantastic day! :)

Salut, voici enfin le Point d’août 2025, avec peu de nouvelles intéressantes en dehors des vidéos. Après tout, cette période de l’année est plus propre aux vacances… bien que je l’ai plus passée à me fatiguer qu’autre chose ! D’ailleurs, bon courage à tous pour la cruelle fin de vacances ! 🫠

Time for the 1.4.4 update of my most absurd Rayman ReDesigner level:

Holy Plum’s Crusade!

https://raydistributor.com/content/RAY-2BAV-SK

This incredibly silly adventure is the final form of my oldest Rayman ReDesigner test maps made during the game’s beta versions! I’ve also bundled them with the main deal, with no alterations besides optimisation and making them compatible with 1.4.4, in order to preserve the classic experience!

Back then, I made them to try out the game’s features and various ways to share ReDesigner content, and I later decided to merge them into a big joke level inspired by my trademark comedic "divine fruits" (paying homage to Rayman and being a satire of some fanatical spam comments I saw years ago): the Holy Plum and the evil Dark Peach!

(For anyone interested and who can read the language of baguettes, I made some April Fools articles on my old blog about these ridiculous deities, and also took their shenanigans to the world of SoulCalibur VI!)

Sainte Prune

Louée soit la Sainte Prune, mes frères et mes sœurs ! (Poisson d'avril)

Dark Pêche

Craignez Dark Pêche, le plus maudit de tous les fruits. (Poisson d’avril)

In Holy Plum’s Crusade, you play as Rayman-Pruna (with a unique plum-themed skin available as an extra): the Chosen of the Holy Plum on a quest to end the operations of Mr Dark’s underlings in a sinister temple, who are working to spread the impure ways of the most unholy fruit...

This new update of Holy Plum’s Crusade not only brings many improvements and additional secrets using the 1.4 series of content, but also implements a short brand new section focused on Dark Peach’s evil minions, mostly Darktoon!

Here’s also the showcase of the old version, while I’m at it! The original test maps can be seen in this video dedicated to Rock’n’Run, as the remix one featured an altered section from that classic of mine.

That’s it! Have a nice day and may the Holy Plum bless you! :P

Be careful what Plum you choose to ride...

Back in 2022, I found the final secret of Rayman Redemption tying the game to Rayman 2...

Then, I found the one in Rayman ReDesigner allowing you to use eight secret objects in the editor...

And now, I discovered the Royal.V secret in the Rayman 2 Redreamed demo, that was teased in the Rayman Alive event!

"It's Still Good To Be The King!" 👑

I'm really becoming a professional Rayman fangame easter egg hunter! :P

Speaking of secrets in this fan remake of Rayman 2, you can actually break the seventh cage that was in version 0.1.0 of the demo, and even explore the area that's usually only reachable from the Echoing Caves in the original game!

For that, all you have to do is to climb to the vines' hightest points, and glide to wherever you like! The cage can be broken either by shooting while hugging its window, or through the wall if you can fly to the ledge with the closed door!

Note that you can also go to the small ledge with an open entrance, but you can't make it inside due to an invisible wall.

The backtracking area of the Fairy Glade, however, is not blocked! And while it is obviously unfinished as it only contains a Green Lum (that will softlock you to this section if you grab it) and no other features, there's already the plum!

You can detach it from the tree and push it around or even -pretend to- ride it! However, it does not react to Rayman's Magic Fist and the riding feature isn't implemented yet, but it's awesome that all of this is already there nevertheless!

If you want to... well... "greatly escape" to return to the normal playable area, you'll have to go the other side of the river and jump into the hole, then just let the void consume you and bring you back to your previous checkpoint! Just make sure you didn't collect the Green Lum hidden there or you'll have to restart the level...

Then, if you already completed the demo once, you can replay the Fairy Glade to go back to the brand new transitional tunnel with the Purple Lum ability in your pocket, and collect the hidden 50th Yellow Lum for 100% completion!

A certified "YAOUHH!" moment, indeed!

Thanks for coming to my RayTED Talk, and I hope you're enjoying all the incredible Rayman Alive reveals this year! :)

Happy 30th anniversary, Rayman! 🎉🎂

Voici le Point de juillet 2025 et non pas celui d’août, malgré la date ! Celui-là est plutôt petit puisqu’il n’y a pas grand-chose à rapporter en dehors de reports dus à mes travaux et de quelques progrès sur les livres… Surtout, pensez à aller regarder Rayman Alive demain ! 😉

Le Point - Juillet 2025

Le Point de juin 2025 arrive… avec des informations croustillantes pour mon « Projet Neptune » ! J’ai également ajouté cinq cents screenshots de jeux sur Google Photos, ce qui inclut des miniatures de vidéos puisque je commence à nettoyer le stockage étroit du blogue !

Le Point de mai 2025 est enfin là !... Oui… ce n’est pas celui de juin ! Il sera pour bientôt aussi, parce que la canicule a causé la fonte de toute ma productivité ! 🫠

System Shock 2, one of the greatest gaming masterpieces of atmosphere, has just rereleased today in its 25th Anniversary Remaster!

You know what this finally means... THAT'S RIGHT BABY, THE NAH SCENE IN FULL HD™, LESSSGOOO! :D

(Spoilers, obviously, don't watch this if you haven't played that gem yet! 😉)

Original for comparison:

"In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. If I wish, I can smash it all. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me wel-…"
