It's so weird to think that not only does Rayman have a real shot at making it in this time around, but on RTC, he is seen as one of the frontrunners among third parties by many members of the community.
We've come a long way from the days of being a pipedream. Here's to hoping for an epic reveal at E3!

I've been contemplating the idea of a discord group for Rayman (and Banjo), but I thought I'd ask you guys first.

Who would be up to joining a server to hang out and talk Rayman/Banjo/Smash/other stuff?

Personally, I am not sure if I could be an active member of the group since I am busy, but I like the idea. Would need to set up a Discord for myself, though.

Similar to what Garo said, I'm not sure if I would post in it too much,but a community Discord is a great idea.

I don't know if this makes much of a difference for your list but from what I understand I think Rayman Legends on Wii U and Switch was published by Nintendo themselves in Japan, but that's only in Japan so like I said I don't know if that changes much.

I know that the Wii U version of Rayman Legends was published by Nintendo in Japan, but Ubisoft themselves published the Switch version; Plus the list of Nintendo published and developed games consist in titles released after Smash4 3DS. and on the matter of adding this info for Rayman himself on the 3rd Party candidates list, would need to have all the others as well.. for example, Nintendo is the responsible for the publishing rights of the Layton and Yo-Kai Watch series in some regions.

but thanks for the suggestion!

I was reading curious things about Rayman, and I found something (I don't know if this has been said before here) but a Rayman costume was planned for Mario Maker 3DS, and you can see in the data files of the game an archive named "Rayman", I didn't know that and it surprises me... nice to know!

What do you think? Maybe a Rayman amiibo was/is in the works or something.

That's news to me.

Was the data specifically for a costume?

I know Michel Ancel made a level in the Wii U version of Mario Maker, could be left over code from that.

If it's not...

Sorry for not putting the source:

https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Maker_for_Nintendo_3DS

I actually read it from other person on the internet, but there you have it too.

And yes, it seems specifically for costume.

EDIT: It surprises me how I didn't know about this until now, and wow... I wonder so many things about Rayman being in the costume data of SMM3DS... It's pretty interesting if you ask me.

Hot damn you're right! And it was under Amiibo files too! Maybe he was planned for smash with an amiibo at some point?

I personally doubt that. SMM for 3DS came out 10 months after DLC wrapped up and we don't know when the roster was decided. I doubt this type of information would be put out in the open.
Then again, Roy and Ryu were found in the data for Smash 4, so who knows.

What makes it interesting to me is the names Rayman is with. Roy and Ryu specifically who were added to Smash at the same. Probably nothing, but still.

Plus as we all know Golden Retri was planned to be added to Smash at one point :troll: Rayman was planned for Smash and a costume for Mario Maker was for cross promotion confirmed.

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I may have jumped the gun with my assumption I'll admit lmao. But still this is definitely interesting. I'm trying to think of what else a Rayman amiibo could have been considered for.

It is interesting for sure. I don't think it's nothing. Maybe if it were just Ryu or just Roy, but both of them together is suspicious.

>Being this close to possibly having a Rayman amiibo.


In all seriousness, this is quite the discovery. I know the 3DS version of Mario Maker wasn't that good, but this would have been rather neat.

I find it weird how they wrote it down as two seperate words though. RayMan. I am thinking this might not actually be Rayman but a placeholder for another name. however I may be very wrong and it does refer to Rayman. Either way this is interesting.

Yes, it could be, but the other names aren't placeholders so I don't think RayMan would be.

As for the GoldenRetri, I think it may be a Nintendogs rep.

Speaking of Mario Maker, I was browsing through my computer and found this.

Mario Maker Rayman.png


Don't remember who made it (tried doing a reverse image search and the only uploads were from Wikia's), but it's a nice little glimpse of what could have been.

Hello people! --Big supporter of the limbness hero since the Ballot days for Smash4 ^-^.. you probably already saw me sharing some other things in characters threads, but here I am to give Rayman his time to shine. The same I did for Bomberman, I compiled the whole story of the character on Nintendo systems; Hopefully this will be useful for you guys use in future discussions =)


*also, there's minor appearences as icons in Just Dance games

Looking good, this is a nice chart of all of his appearances.


I played most of these and they played a big part of my childhood.

I turned a Rayman supporter after the Artsy Omni thing; but I had my share of fun with some of his games! Rayman 2, Origins and Legends, and the last one, especially, is one of my favorite Wii U titles. I really hope he gets in Smash this time, and I think his chances are way better than last time =)

I completely forgot Tonic Trouble was a thing.

Either way, good job! It's nice to see something like this made in a visually appealing way, rather than just making a list with text.

Thanks! and I know that arguably Rayman's appearance in Tonic Trouble credits is just as small as the icons in Just Dance games, but I think it's notable that was actually the first time he appeared in a Nintendo system; --and after all, Ubisoft developed that game just because they wanted to train their team to build a 3D platformer for start Rayman 2. In a way, I often see Tonic Trouble as a Rayman series spin-off..

well, anyway, I'm glad you guys liked! ^^ I also tweeted the list, if you have any interest sharing away ~

I would love Rayman. He's truly one of the last icons left, and would definitely be an excellent addition to the roster. I guess it's looking pretty likely this time around?

I would love it if Rayman made it into Smash Bros. Considering that he, Globox and Barbara got trophies in Smash 4 I feel like his chances of becoming playable are pretty good this time.

Do you guys remember the rumor that Nintendo stopped the inclusion of Rayman in Smash 4 because of Legends being ported to the PS4 and Xbox One? Is that rumor valid to any degree?

I have not heard of this rumor before.

Still, I have a hard time believing that.

I am not sure what you mean by that.
Why would Rayman being on other consoles be a mark against him when

A: Cloud's only game was on the PS1
2: Snake's games were mostly on Playstation and his latest upcoming game at the time of Brawl was PS4 exclusive.

Sakurai clearly stated before that he doesn't care about the console wars.
