The debut of the limbless wonder, created by Michel Ancel and Ubisoft and released in 1995 for the Atari Jaguar, PS1, Sega Saturn, and MS-DOS, and later saw releases on Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PSN, DSiWare and another PC re-release.The game is a not-so-typical side-scrolling platformer, where Rayman has to travel across several expansive worlds as he battles the forces of the evil Mr. Dark (who has stolen the Great Protoon and thus has thrown the world into chaos), and frees the imprisoned Electoons from their cages, all while learning new abilities from the benevolent Betilla the Fairy along the way.This debut game is notable in that, prior to the Arc Welding of Rayman Origins, this and its sequel Rayman 2: The Great Escape, were almost completely separate in terms of tone, content and even gameplay, being much more lighthearted and childish, as well as more difficult, and having a much lighter story and smaller cast. It should be stressed again how difficult this game was. No, really.There also exists an Edutainment Game version of Rayman titled "Amazing Learning Games with Rayman" for the PC and "Rayman Brain Games" for the PS1, where it features simpler (but still challenging) platforming sections, a Lighter and Softer rewrite, most (if not all) Rayman's abilities available from the start, and an actual ending.There's also a Fan Remake called Rayman Redemption, which was released for free download in 2020. | |

Muzzle Flashlight | |
| Rayman (Video Game) / int_12f9804c | comment |
Muzzle Flashlight: The first stage of the level "Eat At Joe's" involves using a magical firefly attached to your fist to light up a small area around wherever Rayman's fist happens to be at the time. Since Rayman shoots out his fist as a projectile to attack, it's quite possible to throw a punch and learn more about the surrounding area by watching its path. Note that since the light follows the fist, however, you won't be able to see Rayman himself until the fist returns to him a moment later—which can cause a lot of accidental deaths if you're not paying attention. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Rayman (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The PC version of the game doesn't state anywhere that the two Moskitos are not the same character. Considering Mr. Stone and Space Mama also appear in two different levels, the common assumption is that the two identical looking insects are in fact the same. In some versions of the game, the "bad" Moskito is given a unique red coloring, but in other versions, he has the exact same colors as the "good" Moskito, further contributing to the confusion. | |

Nigh-Invulnerability | |
| Rayman (Video Game) / int_1f7c89f6 | comment |
Nigh-Invulnerability: Mr. Sax, the boss of Band Land, can't be directly harmed by Rayman's attacks. You have to bait him into launching a sour note at you, which can then be sent flying back with a punch to damage him. Mr. Stone, the boss of Blue Mountains, is completely immune to Rayman's fist attack. Your first encounter with him in "Twilight Gulch" just has you running away from him, while the fight against him in "Mr. Stone's Peaks" requires you to reach and smack a giant totem pole into Mr. Stone to damage him. | |

Last Lousy Point: In order to reach the last level, you need to find all 102 cages (six in each of the seventeen levels). See Guide Dang It! and Gotta Catch 'Em All for more information on how frustrating this can be. In the Gold expansion this applies for every level. The level goals won't appear until everything has been found. | |

Palette Swap: In some versions of the game, the Moskito (the boss of The Dream Forest) and Bzzit (the miniboss and eventual friend) look identical other than their colors. But in other versions they look completely identical. Naturally, this has led to some confusion and some players have believed them to be the same character. They're not. | |

| Rayman (Video Game) / int_27b418da | comment |
A Winner Is You: The ending to this game consists of a 16 second clip of fireworks and the Magician announcing "You've done it, you've saved THE WORLD!". A wonderful reward considering how much bloodshed is involved in GETTING to the ending. What's even worse is that Rayman Forever had too much content packed on the disc to get the cut scenes in, so all you get are the end credits. The Edutainment Game version ended with Rayman being celebrated for his success of returning the Book of Knowledge. | |

Sound-Coded for Your Convenience: Especially important in the first game, where a very short, specific sound indicates that you triggered something to appear. It's also possible to recognize what kind of enemy is just off-screen with this, since some of them make specific sounds when they idle or initiate an attack, like the hunters and zooming antitoons. | |

Checkpoint: Did you find a Photographer? Let him take Rayman a picture, and you won't have to restart the segment of a level from the beginning should you lose a life. Checkpoint Starvation: Not only must you clear multiple segments in each level before you can return to the map and save your game, but in each level there will only be one Photographer (if at all)! The DSi port mitigates this by adding more Photographers into the game's levels. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Rayman (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: To the point where fans speculated whether this game and Rayman 2 were set in an Alternate Continuity, until Origins confirmed both games take place in the same timeline. For instance: Rayman had Sphere Eyes and wasn't the only one of his kind, Globox, the Teensies and the Lums didn't exist and The Magician, who was a Teensy in Rayman Origins, was originally part of Rayman's race. Gameplay wise, Rayman doesn't start out with his helicopter hair, which can throw off newcomers who played the sequels, where that power is a default gameplay mechanic. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Rayman (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Just try to play through the entire game without ever using up a continue or getting a game over, even with dozens of one-ups all over the place. Both the GBA and DSi port went out of their way to make changes to make the game's difficulty more bearable, but even those are still plenty hard. It doesn't feel as if there was a drop in difficulty even in those versions. Partly the reason for why this game is so damn hard is because it was NEVER play-tested to check for things like this trope—its designers were hardcore gamers as opposed to green players just learning the basics, and it shows. The Gold expansion makes things worse by forcing the player to collect everything in its levels. If you lose all your lives trying to find that last lousy point, you'll have to do everything again. Lets put it this way; merely finishing most of the levels is hard enough—trying to find every last Cage in them while you're at it is guaranteed to make you throw your controller at the TV at points. Enemies love to trap you in this game. They tend to trigger when walking on certain pixels or collecting certain items, spawning out of thin air right behind or in front of you. In the original versions of the game, you only have 3 hitpoints, temporarily 5 if you manage to find a power-up. Though the GBA port bumps it up to 4 (6 with a power-up) and the DSi port makes it a much more reasonable six by default, which can likewise be upgraded to 10. Not only is some of the platforming really difficult and usually an instant death upon failure, you'll only unlock some much needed abilities like gliding, grabbing onto platforms and running (yes, really) much later in the game. And that's not made explicit by the game, so you may spend agonising minutes of trial and error before realizing that you're not supposed to reach that unsually distant platform yet. You start with 5 lives and 5 continues, each providing another 5 lives.note But should you be down to your last 3 continues, you can get 10 more by pressing Up, Down, Right and Left after choosing to continue. There are extra lives to be found in (often very) hard to reach places, but these won't save you from inevitably running out, as the 1-ups don't respawn. Grinding for Tings is the only sure option to stack up on lives, but can take a while, and death instantly sets your counter back to zero in the original versions of the game (the GBA and DSi ports allow you to keep your Tings upon death, and the latter makes it so that you only need 50 Tings for an extra life). Saving the game with passwords or on your memory card also saves your progress in lives and continues, so it's easy to screw up and be forced to start all the way from the beginning. Some of the bosses, such as Space Mama, can easily take away 25 lives by themselves. The Edutainment Game version (Rayman Junior), while greatly toned down in terms of platforming difficulty, is still challenging at times. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Rayman (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The Save Feature and Password Save retains the exact number of lives and continues the player has at the time of saving. If used with discretion, it's possible to stock up on lives early on and then save scum from there as much as possible. Unlike the Jaguar version (which was the initial version of the game), the PS1 and Sega Saturn ports of the game allow Rayman to keep the Speed Fist and/or Golden Fist even if he takes a hit, with him only losing them if he dies. The game has what the developers call "Coyote Time", where you're given a grace period after Rayman leaves a ledge to perform a jump. The GBA port makes numerous changes to alleviate the game's grueling difficulty; Rayman now has an extra hit point, you no longer lose all your Tings when you die, you can see trigger zones that make objects appear (they show up as little twinkles), and the knockback damage of the original versions of the game has completely removed, making it much easier to avoid getting thrown off a platform. The game also allows up to move the camera upwards (and slightly downward) to help compensate for the screen view getting scrunched to 1/4th of its original size. Some parts of the levels are tweaked (or in the case of Bongo Hills, straight up removed) to make them easier as well. The DSi port increases the knockback damage, but likewise makes some changes to alleviate the game's tough difficulty; like with the GBA port, you don't lose your Tings when you die, and you only need 50 for a life, not 100. The number of hit points has been increased to six (default) and ten (extended), the number of continues are increased to 30, there are more checkpoints, and you can skip sections of a completed level by pressing Select, which reduces the amount of backtracking for the missing cages. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Rayman (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: In the Atari Jaguar version of the game, Rayman loses the Speed Fist and/or Golden Fist if he so much as takes a hit, not just when he dies like in other versions of the game. The controls are noticeably less responsive too, which is not a good thing in a game that demands such precision platforming. While the GBA port of the game does make some changes to relax the games grueling difficulty, it trades it off by crunching the screen view to 1/4th of its original size, making it significantly harder to see offscreen platforms, enemies or obstacles in time. While they did have the foresight to include the option to move the camera up or down more to compensate for this, it only helps so much. | |

Screen Crunch | |
| Rayman (Video Game) / int_f453e39e | comment |
Screen Crunch: Rayman Advance, the GBA port, had it bad. The original game had big, detailed sprites that didn't translate over to the GBA's screen very well. Rayman's sprite takes up a fourth of the resolution, leading to a lot of leaps of faith. The first boss is the worst instance of this. In the original, you had a lot of space to move, but thanks to the GBA's lower resolution, the arena became ridiculously small◊. The developers were kind enough remove certain obstacles throughout the game and get rid of the knockback but it only helps so much. | |
