Rayman is the main protagonist of the video game series of the same name as well as multiple fan-made games.

in Rayman Arcade

He learns that Mr Dark has kidnapped some electoons, and goes off to rescue them. When he completes stages 1-3, he sees Mr Dark taking them away, and on the transition between stages 2 and 3, he chases Mr Dark on his mosquito. At the 4th and final stage, he must dodge the attacks while trying to get to each button to punch them and open the way to the top of the tower, free the electoons, and punch Mr Dark off the tower.

in Rayman Adventures console edition

He is sleeping in a tree with Barbara when an egg lands on them and sends them falling off the tree. After chasing the egg, it turns out to be a creature called an incrediball. The two agree to help him restore the forest.

in The Adventures Of Rayman

Rayman is the protagonist of the animated series. He is bored of not having a new adventure in a long time, when he and everyone else discover the evil plans of Mr Dark and Ales Mansay.

in Benoraloha Bash

He is one of the default playable characters, along with many other characters from his franchise such as Globox, Barbara, teensies, Ly, Jason, Mr Dark, and Admiral Razorbeard. His assists return from the fighting game Mugen, in which Ly is his primary assist and Betilla is his secondary assist.

His final smash shows Murfy, Globox, Barbara, Jack, and Chuck beating up the opponent(s), ending with Rayman punching the opponents after charging up his fist. This is a reference to both the opening cutscene from Origins and the ending cutscene from Legends.

in other media

Spy Mouse console edition

In this reimagining of the 2011 mobile game Spy Mouse, there is an unlockable costume called Raymouse, which is a reference to Rayman. This costume features Agent Squeak (the main character) wearing Rayman’s iconic purple hoodie and a wig that resembles his hair. When the costume is equipped, Squeak makes his signature peace sign from the Ubiart games.

His fist is also available, appearing in Digger’s Shop as a power up called “Rayman’s Fist”. It costs 40 cheese. When bought, 3 will appear in the power-up inventory, and when activated, a fist will fly forwards, and any unlucky cat who happens to be in its path will be knocked out of the level and will not return until the level is restarted.

Spy Mouse: The Animated Series!

A picture of him appears in the house.

Cuphead 2

Just like in Spy Mouse console edition, his fist is available in Porkrind’s Emporium as a stronger, faster, and more powerful version of the chaser shot. It costs 7 coins.

The Cuphead Show! (continuation)

Rayman and other characters from his franchise cameo in various episodes.

-In The Devil’s Swing, as The Devil is about to steal Cuphead’s soul, Rayman appears and invites him to join him and his team of heroes. At first, The Devil says no, but then Rayman tells him that it comes with free donuts, to which The Devil shows interest and asks “Where do I sign?”, allowing Cuphead and Mugman to escape.

-In Ocean Commotion, as Mugman and Bendy are sailing out to sea, Rayman and Globox are seen in the background on the beach, roasting marshmallows over a campfire.

-In Festival Of The Moon, Rayman and Globox cameo as party guests, where they are seen tap dancing with Ms Chalice before Hilda Berg crashes the party.

trivia

-One of his idle animations throughout various games, as well as his side taunt from Benoraloha Bash, involves him grabbing a microphone and singing “sexbomb.” This is a reference to Rayman Sings Sexbomb, a song originally by Tom Jones used for an animation test for Pheonix Interactive’s Rayman 4.
