Rayman M
Rayman Arena (Rayman M in Europe) is a multiplayer party game developed and published by Ubisoft. It consists of two modes: an arena fighting mode, and a racing mode. It is a 1-4 player game, or you can play with 1 player vs. the computer. There are three levels of difficulty: Beginner, Pro, and an unlockable Master. There are also 4 cups to be won in both the Battle and Race modes. Rayman Arena features 10 different characters:
- Rayman: The hero of his land. Uses his hair to glide. He is the main character of the Rayman games, he may be somewhat small in stature, but he makes up for size with speed,agility and a highly like-able personality!
- Globox: Rayman's dimwitted friend. Blows up like a balloon to glide. He makes appearances in many Rayman games, he may be daft,and awkward,but he has spirit.
- Teensies: Two senile old dwarves that work together in a race. One spins the other around the other's head to glide. In Rayman2 it shows that they forgot who was king so they took turns wearing the crown, and being king.
- Admiral Razor(beard): Short in both stature and temper,Razor is the robotic admiral of the evil robot pirates. Spins his arms around to glide. He was the final boss of Rayman2.
- Henchman 800: A robotic pirate. Uses the jet on his back to glide. He is a Henchman for Admiral Razorbeard.
- Tily: A small, furry fairy. Uses her wings to glide.
- Henchman 1000: An older model of the robot pirate. Uses the jet on his back to glide.
- Mrs Razorbeard: Razorbeard's awful wife, called Razorwife in the European version. Flaps her arms around to glide. Though she and Dark Globox were advertised as new characters when the game was coming out, she isn't really; as Mrs. Razorbeard was an unlockable character in Rayman Rush.
- Dark Globox: On the Gamecube and Xbox, you can unlock him. He's just like Globox but he is purple with a skull on his back. Another skin has a wolf on the back. Hangs onto an invisible purple lum to glide.
- Dark Rayman: Though it is only one of Rayman's skins, the game refers to him as Dark Rayman. It is the same as Rayman except for his appearance: A slightly darker purple shirt, with an "X" on it, fairly orange shoes, red hands, a yellow bandana around his neck, and completely red eyes. You unlock him by completing the Master Challenges.
