"N as in cheese!"

I love how Rayman Redemption featured this Rayman Brain Games meme as a cheat code!

But what if there was a twist...? 👀

By the way, you can find a list of all the cheat codes on Rayfanpedia!

I built this page from my WordPress article which was originally the first to list all of them, including the cheats added in Redemption’s latest versions!

Barbara's Unique Family

I figured why not expand on this? There will be five little scenarios where our favorite badass doctor gets herself a kid. Three has Jim being neither species shown in Tales of Arcadia while the other two is a sibling under the same circumstances.

Let's get started?

Thingamajig and the Doctor

Yup! I'm starting with a Rayman flavored Jim as I honestly think it would be more hilarious when he kicks his rogue gallery's ass. A lot of them already underestimated him as a human so why not make the guy even more 'looks harmless but can kill you'?

This Jim will have other traits than the standard Limbless since I tend to make subspecies for a lot of stuff. Pointed ears, horns, thick werewolf style fur, claws, tusk like fangs, the ability to harden his skin alongside hair into thick blue bedrock similar to troll hidden, blue stripes that expand into said bedrock coat when activated, and a spiky crystal ball that follows him around as if attached to an invisible tail.

Now Thingamajigs are a pure magic species related to dreams. So Jim has dream/wish magic to put properly. It's only as strong as his belief, imagination and magic reserves. He can turn himself human but not poof Bular out of existence type range. There's also the normal Thingamajig abilities such as the Haircopter, running on walls, shrinking and not needing air.

Barbara finds Jim when he's two years old. He got himself stuck in the trashcan looking for food and she heard him crying. James is already out of the picture but I will say if he was there then the man will be gone. Either because he left on his own volition or she kicked him out for being heartless to a lost baby.

Jim becomes friends with Toby when they're four as kids tend to wander off and he's no exception. Barbara has him take online classes albeit any video call lessons have the monitor off or other excuses about his inhuman appearance on screen. Jim is around 11 years old when he finally able to hold onto a human disguise for more than twelve hours a day.

He attends public school afterwards which definitely earned him some attention for awhile. Like no one has seen Jim's human face before and assumed his 'big nose' persona is just a computer filter. Also for any Jlaire fans, they kiss with his human disguise or rub noses(kunik or 'Eskimo Kiss') in his true form.

Jim still freaks out a bit when Blinky and AAARRRGGHH break into his house. Although that's because there are two strangers in his home than them being trolls. Jim might use his Limbless nature to be a weird little shit. Back when he was little, Barbara had to check her bags before leaving for work as he tended to slip in there. Whether she got just Jim's head or his whole body is a coin flip at best. He was a clingy baby and later been teased for that with baby pictures.

Barbara's Tiger Son

For this one, Jim is getting a brother in the form of my OC Léi Yún. (Old doodle that I plan to redraw soon. He's based on a species called Azafuse/ Bakaneko(version based name) from a different series called Ushio and Tora.)

Léi Yún is a wanderer who has a habit of stealing an unsuspecting person's food. Albeit he made a bad mistake when he decides Barbara's attempt at egg salad would be a good target. Imagine her reaction when she caught a five year old Jim patting the back of an ill tiger yaoguai hung over the kitchen sink.

Barbara's food made him so sick that he can't exactly fly away or even use magic without feeling queasy for a few days. Enough time to find out Léi Yún is essentially a child and adopt him in seconds. The Azafuse follows Jim to school by turning invisible to those who aren't spiritually attuned. Basically the school doesn't know they have an extra student, at least until the last two episodes. He met Toby by stealing Nana's cookies and Tobes caught him.

Now yaoguai tend to age quite strangely between each individual. Most mature normally like humans, take centuries like trolls but some have certain requirements that need to be done first. Léi Yún is one such yaoguai as he's actually 600 years old despite his child appearance. He needs to haunt someone or a place to properly reach maturity. What better people than the Lakes?

Léi Yún's species can get quite big so in his 10 year stay, he matured into an near adult around AAARRRGGHH's size. Of course he can make himself feel weightless like most spiritual based entities. Thus Léi Yún could do this despite the size difference between him, Jim and Barbara.

Also Barbara is sooo finding out about Jim's Trollhunter role as a certain older brother will tell her. Léi Yún ain't dumb. He knows Jim's new double life gonna drag everyone in the crossfire whether he wants it to or not. Plus its better to have a medic for any lethal injuries. Just because Barbara taught Léi Yún first aid doesn't mean he can handle broken ribs. Also that binding spell is the only thing keeping the Azafuse from zapping Strickler like he did to Bular and Draal(for being a dick to Jim earlier).

Even a Beast Deserves Love

For this one, Jim is gonna be a Lamortmon mainly to fit the Beast motif. (Lamort means death in French. Fitting when this Digimon is known for extreme berserker tendencies with the smallest slight unless calmed down. Jim was taught anger management at an early age.) I'm going for the Digimon Fusion rules so he hatched from an egg and grew up in this form.

Barbara found Jim's egg hidden by a dumpster when out shopping. He hatched at home and she raised him as her own. In a sense, Barbara is his Tamer but a Digivice has yet to form...for now. Her relationship with James doesn't last long when he discovers a one year old Jim and practically runs. House is later renovated to make him more comfortable such as having enough room to move around alongside cooking without issue.

The young Lamortmon does befriend Toby by sneaking into his yard. Unlike the others, Arcadia ends up finding out about Jim when a nasty fire broke out in a store. He was hiding inside Toby's phone while his best friend was looking for snacks. The 10 year old rescues everyone who been trapped inside and became a precious secret hidden from outsiders by the townsfolk.

Barbara had him doing online classes so Jim integrating to public school wasn't difficult. He's usually in a small handheld carried around by Toby except for classes outside or inside the gymnasium. Strickler definitely spat out his coffee and had a WTF moment seeing Jim at school.

Why is this strange creature out in the open??? Is he trying to get everyone's attention? Nevermind the fact a 15 year old Jim is just a mere two feet shorter than Gunmar. He might've gotten a glamour mask by an anonymous source *cough* Strickler *cough* mainly to lower the risk of Bular and the Lamortmon meeting.

Now as for Jim's missing weapons and armor for his species, the Amulet will be providing his twin blades alongside the metal gauntlets than just the Trollhunter armor. He does tell Barbara about the trollhunting business since he rather not have her oblivious to the dangerous responsibility now shoved onto him. Man needs some more hugs.

Loving Shadows

Another OC this time with my undead magical experiment Ling Shēng. (Another doodle I plan to revamp.) He's a runaway failed clone of the Six Eared Macaque, a Celestial Primate whose six ears can hear the past/present/future, made via stolen magic alongside corpse magic. Personality wise, Ling Shēng is a lonely 7 year old who rather play leap frog with an actual frog and be helpful but is scared to interact in fear of being hurt.

Barbara discovers him one day when she notices a 5 year old Jim's shadow is acting strange every night before bed. Almost if someone is standing behind. Quick google search leads to the conclusion of a Diao Xue Gui or "hanging on boots ghost", a mischievous but mostly harmless spirit. Barbara manages to gently coax Ling Shēng out of hiding.

She didn't expect the ghost to actually be a small monkey child and is quick to adopt him. Ling Shēng is the only one who can actually use healing magic but also purification magic. A nice boon when it comes to dealing with a certain evil sorceress and troll warlord with a mind control fetish alongside stone poison issues.

Ling Shēng is introduced to be Toby through Jim as he figures his new brother needs more friends. The undead yaoguai takes online classes but does follow his human family and friend through the shadows. Since he's a clone, it doesn't take long for him to mature into a young adult in those 10 years.

Ling Shēng is still a shy stuttering mess who loves family hugs and sweets despite being a 7'11 tall undead monkey yaoguai built like Bruce Lee with a Día De Los Muertos skull bearing piercing violet eyes for a head. He does tell Barbara during the Win, Lose or Draal incident. Ling Shēng doesn't want these secrets to hurt his family further.

Mother's Wolf

We're going for a werewolf Jim or to put aptly, a Wolfssegner. A type of Wolfskin from Fire Emblem who can switch between a human and beast form. Although Jim will have to cover ears, tail, alongside have an excuse for his more hairy body. Now Wolfskin require a gem called a Beaststone to manage their transformations better. Jim doesn't have one so he has to learn the ropes while he grows up.

Barbara finds him in the woods when he was just a baby. James already dipped as she caught him being unfaithful once coming back home. Jim doesn't shift until he's five. A playdate with Toby goes awry when a mountain lion house breaks into his the Domzalski's backyard.

Jim transforms to protect his best friend, the animal runs off clearly intimidated by grizzly bear sized werewolf. This leads to a lot of camping trips so Barbara can help her son become accustom to his other form. It might've started an urban legend known as the 'Giant Horned Wolf of Arcadia Forest'. (A 15 year old Jim's beast form is nearly the size of a small bus.)

He attends public school but wears a hair brand to make the illusion that his ears and tail are fake. As for his fur patches, Jim has the Werewolf Disease excuse. Basically the only thing that'll blow his mom's thought out cover plan is him transforming. If he needs to use his other form, Barbara gave Jim the idea to shift one or two of his limbs than a full transformation.

He does tell his mother after the Win, Lose or Draal episode. Mainly cause she would easily find their new troll protector in seconds. Jim's puppy brain got him into some nutty shenanigans when he was younger so Barbara will definitely find out if he's hiding something in the house.

And that's it! I probably do one with Strickler later. Draal too as we know Barbara would've adopted him if she could. Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Arcadia.

This poll is giving me problems because I have literally nothing to vote for here or even put in the tags really. A lot of the options here are focused on the handheld games.

As someone who didn't own a console until the Switch, apart from the PC-releases the handheld games were a large portion of how I got to experience the franchise in the first place (and on that note, I'm surprised "Rayman Hoodlums Revenge" is here (which is an original spin-off game in its own right instead of a watered down main-title + as someone who was tied to the Handhelds the Isometric Semi-3D was THE SHIT to experience. Kid-Me was SO hyped about this game) but "Rayman 3 GBA" which is a HOT MESS that I hold dear to my heart regardless is NOT)

Yes, the Handheld Games are "thinned down" versions of what the games could have been (or well... 'were' to most other people), but for the longest time they were the only way I was at all able to GET to play those games, so any other installment came to feel like an upgrade later on, instead of "man I know a version that's way better than this, what a disappointment."

Perspective matters.

The only Rayman game I've ever owned and then actively resold was one of the Rabbids Games for DS (I think one of the TV party games) that I found on Sale for like 5 € and was like "okay, come on, let's give them a chance, maybe this isn't so ba- okay, no, kthxbye." but you can't technically call this a Rayman game even since this was around the time when the Rabbids began to branch out with their own brand.

/edit: I guess if I were to put anything in the tags then (I have a post now, so I might as well put it here), I suppose it's Rayman Adventures, which is frigging _pretty to look at_, but unplayable amidst the slew of "WATCH THIS COMMERCIAL", "We have a Community Hub, but it's BROKEN" "this Game works with external controllers, no wait it doesn't actually" and the levels getting repetitive and stale after only a couple of hours of playtime. I can respect the AESTHETICS of this game. The Loading Screens and Design and whatnot are gorgeous. I just didn't have fun with it.

Can't put any more options sadly, but I was also going to put Rayman 2 PS1 (I know a lot of people dislike it but I legit like it 🥲) and Rayman 2 DS.

[djsherriff-responses]

So you know how Sarah is (presumably) the last Templar and Bullfrog is the last Assassin, making them narrative foils by virtue of that alone?

Remember how Sarah was a Rayman kid and she snitched on her father and the hackers due to the brain washing propaganda, despite the hackers trying to help her?

Remember how Bullfrog seems very critical and against the propaganda Rayman tells him about Eden?

Remember how in his introduction he talks about his ancestors and his DNA, which at least suggests that some hybrids can reproduce to have offspring?

Remember how his name is Bullfrog Korvin JUNIOR, confirming he at least has a father that he was named after?

....Remember how Bullfrog said he used to watch Rayman as a kid?

[idolomantises]

Don't know how many questions is allowed to be asked, if i asked to many i apologies:

Any plans on drawing more of the priest moth? I liked the design of her and her mantis friend.

Don't know if i missed it, but do you plan on making an angel character who's a dom? Afterall being physically intimate or sexual isn't a sin (contrary to what some might think) as long as you don't force yourself on others (or commit adultery/cheating, but that's pretty obvious).

Not a question, but so far i think my top 6 favorite designs are the two spider moms, Marigold, Sera, Cherub and Priest Moth.

What's Cherub's relation to Sera and Power and the others?

Is there any franchises you're a fan of that you've created art for? Like Wakfu, Rayman or some other show or franchise or game?

Any plans on opening commissions at some point or would be that to much strain because of your schedule?

Does Sera or Power play video games in their free time? Power kinda strikes me as someone who'd love Minecraft for some reason.

In the universe with Sera & Co. do other supernatural creatures such as fairies, werewolves or eldritch horror/cthullu stuff exist?

Ever tried a role-swap AU with your characters?

Is there any of your characters who play D&D, Pathfinder or World of Darkness?

1. No, I’m going to be using them for my uh. Other account from now on.

2. No. Being physically intimate isn’t a sin but anything sexual before marriage is considered sinful, so I don’t really have any Angel who fits that role. Prince (a character I haven’t introduced yet) is the closest to verging into that “past the physical intimacy” zone.

3. Thanks!

4. Cheri has no personal lore with Sera and Powers. Powers is just attached to her because she’s 1) very motherly and 2) a cute animal

Her history with Junior has more depth to it, but it’s huge spoilers so I can’t say why yet.

5. I made a lot of fanart for Rise of the TMNT, BNHA, warrior cats and Steven Universe not sharing any of it because it’s old and cringe.

6. No because of what you said. Too much extra work, plus I kinda hate doing comms compared to my regular patreon work where I can mostly draw what I want. For some reason a lot of commissioners do not consider my art style when suggesting characters.

7. Neither play video games. Sera actually has nothing in her house because she doesn’t want to involve herself in any indulgences. Well except kissing and hugging.

8. Yeah, eldritch horror is debatable though.

9. No but I thought about it. Maybe for April fools.

10. I have no idea what DnD is like so no answer

ROUND ONE

Rayman

Pit: Woah! Lady Palutena, that's Rayman! Palutena: Right you are, Pit! Rayman hails from the Glade of Dreams, and is best known for his carefree attitude! He really loves sleeping and taking naps, and he can play harmonica and ukelele. Viridi: So, he's just some lazy bum? Pit: How dare you! Rayman's an icon! Viridi: Okay, then. If you know so much about Rayman, tell me something he can do in a fight. Pit: The Telescopic Punch! He can send his fists flying forward! Viridi: He doesn't have arms. That just sounds like a regular punch from him. Pit: Well, he can use his hair as a helicopter! Viridi: Is he Dixie Kong? Try again. Pit: That grimace! That awful grimace! Viridi: ...Okay, that is a little intimidating. How do you plan to fight it? Pit: I'm... Still working on that.

Rallen

Pit: That guy's bossing around some monsters! They're... Kinda cute? Viridi: We need to work out your definition of cute someday. Palutena: That's Rallen, a junior officer of the Nanairo Planetary Patrol! One day, he was investigating a crashed object on the planet Daichi, when he came across a device that allows him to store and command... Spectrobes! Pit: Woah! That's so cool! Viridi: ...What exactly IS a Spectrobe? Palutena: Oh, they're just an extinct race of creatures associated with the light that are the only counter to the Krawl, creatures of darkness. Viridi: Oh, so it's basically how the Dream Eaters work with Sora. Palutena: How do you know what that is? Pit: Um, Lady Palutena? Any advice on fighting Rallen? Palutena: Oh! Right. Well, Pit, Rallen's special attacks will differ if he's fighting with either Zozane, the yellow one, and Spikan, the green one. However, that doesn't mean you can discount Rallen himself! Be sure to pay attention to which one is fighting with him, and react accordingly! Here's a tip: Spikan's main weakness is his lack of range!

[totalrayhem]

Yep they’re from the old edutainment Rayman games, I believe specifically Rayman Activity Center

Ahhh I see! Never heard of this before, it looks cute! I wasn't aware of anything other than Rayman Junior and English with Rayman, very curious.

[pixies-and-poets]

Hey, Star-Arcana here. I have a question for you: Do you think Bowser Jr got grounded by Bowser after the first M+R game? I mean Cursa has not Kidnapped him so I suspect that he is still sulking somewhere in Bowser's Castle and didn't noticed Bowser's army being taken over by Cursa. Will he appear in the dlc's? What do you think, Bramble? Are we going to see little Bowser here or not? Maybe just a cameo? Or is Serguei from the OG Rabbid game more likely? Sorry, those were many questions, just answer the one you like to answer, I wait patiently with much love and Hope from Star-Arcana!

Hello Star-Arcana!

Honestly I was quite surprised Junior was basically not mentioned at all in SoH, maybe in some memories or something? But he was such a big part of the first game, I thought there would at least be some references to him... unless I'm forgetting something, there was pretty much nothing. I know I had a fan theory before the game came out that Junior was kidnapped by Cursa which was Bowser's actual main reason for joining up with the heroes, and would have provided a reversal of the first game. But nah. I mean SoH has so much going on I can't really blame them, but it did surprise me a bit.

I'm sure he did get in trouble after the first game, yet SoH seems to take place quite some time afterwards, years in-universe time I would reckon. Long enough for them to develop some substantial technology, for Phantom to go off on a galactic tour and end up dating and then breaking up with someone, for some of the characters to change and mature somewhat (Rabbid Luigi in particular). So I doubt he's STILL grounded, and whatever his reason for not being in this game, must be something else. Maybe he's holding down the fort at home, or Bowser ordered Kamek and/or Kammy to take him into hiding so Cursa couldn't overtake them too.

Since Junior was closely connected to Spawny in the first game, it's possible he shows up in Tower of Doooom in some way. It seems by the end he had come around to caring about Spawny and wanting to genuinely be his friend instead of menacing him, so it would be sweet if he was the one who broke the news to the others that the little bun was in trouble, and he's really upset about it. I'm not counting on it, but that could provide a nice little cameo.

I doubt we get any other pre-existing rabbid characters in the first or second DLCs, but for the Rayman one it's totally possible. It's going to be fascinating to see how they resolve Rayman's own unpleasant history with the Rabbids with these friendly and heroic ones he's going to team up with now.

Luz Arvizu - Animation interests

Assignment #1

Hi! I'm Luz, a 22-year-old who likes to draw, enjoy good music and company :]

Why are you interested in animation?

Ever since I was 12, I've had a special love for stories and the enchanting magic they bring. I've always dreamed of bringing new worlds, characters, and adventures to life. I have always aspired to work as an illustrator, character designer, or animator, either for an animation studio or indie project! :D (Maybe even illustrate children's books idk)

What are your top 3 favorite pieces of animation and why are they important for you? (any media)

EL TIGRE: THE ADVENTURES OF MANNY RIVERA

This series has been incredibly influential to me. It sparked my deep interest in animation, captivating me with its characters, backgrounds, and colors. As a result, I began creating my own comics featuring "original" characters...where I inserted myself instead of Manny Rivera.

I integrated my school experiences with the series chapters, allowing my creativity to flourish.

I really enjoyed the characters and the art style in addition to the episodes and stories. The background characters are just as entertaining to watch, each with different characteristics. I loved the variety in everything. Honestly, Jorge's unique style is always filled with vibrant designs, shapes, and colors!

RAYMAN ORIGINS

Honestly, this was the only Rayman game I ever had the chance to play, but to this day I still love the visuals. The backgrounds and characters captivated me. Not to mention the little animations that occurred.

As for the story, I didn't really pay much attention to it haha ​​But that didn't stop me from understanding what I was doing or from spending hours in the game looking at the visuals and having fun with the adventures in each level.

One of the most inspiring aspects of this game for me was its vibrant and diverse backgrounds. I was particularly fascinated by the intricate details of leaves, flowers, rocks, and other elements. These backgrounds inspired me to create a mini comic featuring a boy and magical creatures in a forest. Although I didn't continue working on the comic at that time, I revisited the concept after an assignment at university, turning it into a graphic novel. The novel was set in a forest, and the diverse shapes and designs in Rayman Origins greatly influenced the visual appeal of the forest in my story.

As a bonus, I was inspired by Rayman and Betilla (mainly from "Rayman Junior") to create other characters. Rayman, in particular, inspired me because he didn't have arms or legs. The story behind why he doesn't have them is simple and funny: due to technical problems, they decided to remove his limbs when he originally did have them. I'm glad they removed them because, for some reason, I felt that Rayman fit in better with his surroundings and story.

Rayman recently appeared in another series called "Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix", with an unexpected twist and tremendous character development, resulting in a darker and more violent tone, but that's another talk.

oop! Hello?

♫ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a Half-Shell Turtle Power! ♫

No. (Damn, it was hard to choose. I'm sorry Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS AND THE ATTACK OF THE TALKING TOILETS (specifically)

Here me out, this is really good.

As I said before, I was inspired by the backgrounds in "Rayman Origins". Captain Underpants gave me the confidence to create comics with imperfect frames. This graphic novel inspired me to tell stories from a different perspective (by that I mean by breaking the fourth wall. At that time having a character interact with the reader was strange or impossible for me). It also showed me that comics and graphic novels can cover a variety of topics without needing to be overly serious. As a child, I used to believe that creating deep, context-heavy stories was necessary for this kind of medium.

Captain Underpants did have a story, but it was short and was told in a way that was easy to understand without breaking your head so much. I remember this particular novel fondly because it was the first one I ever got my hands on. I owe it all to my English teacher who, in an effort to make learning more enjoyable, she decided to give me a novel instead of the usual speech bubble drawings, and it left a lasting impression on me.

And that's all folks, thanks for reading!
