History VideoGame / RaymanRedemption

** Some of the new sound effects are borrowed from ''VideoGame/Rayman2'', ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'', ''Designer'', and the edutainment games.

* SpeakingSimlish: Similarly to ''VideoGame/Rayman2'', everyone speaks this way, although this can be turned off if the player desires.

[[caption-width-right:350:]] ''Rayman Redemption'' is a FanRemake of the original ''VideoGame/Rayman1995'' created by Ryemanni (previously known as Raymannni), known for his previous ''Rayman'' fangame, ''[[LongTitle Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''. It features new levels, enemies, worlds, unlockables, collectibles, and much more.

** Inputting the cheat codes "RAYMAN04", "RELEASE4" or "CUINRM4!" will only prompt "See You In Rayman 4!", Murfy's final words in ''Rayman 3''.

** Some of the new sound effects are borrowed from ''Rayman 2'' and ''3'', ''Designer'', and the educational games.
** A number of the unlockable outfits Rayman can wear are references to other games in the series, such as the combat fatigues from ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'', Dark Rayman, and Dark Rayman's alternate palette from the GBC version. [[spoiler:The last two of these are his appearance from the original SNES prototype of ''Rayman 1'' and the 2D prototype of ''VideoGame/Rayman2'']].

** The shop theme reuses the title screen theme of the UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar version of Rayman.

** Some skins, that can be purchased, reference other games or people, i.e. the superpowers from ''Rayman 3'', or the Plum skin being a reference to Rayman speedrunner Glackum. Ed from ''VideoGame/TonicTrouble'' and ''VideoGame/DynamiteHeaddy'' also get referenced through skins.

** The game contains two unlockable BossRush modes akin to the ones featured in the ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' series, where the bosses in the much harder second one are [[TookALevelInBadass greatly empowered and have brand new moves and attack patterns]], [[spoiler:while the final one gains a "soul" form]].

It features new levels, enemies, worlds, unlockables, collectibles, and much more.

[[caption-width-right:350:]] ''Rayman Redemption'' is a FanRemake of the [[VideoGame/{{Rayman1995}} original ''Rayman'']] created by Ryemanni (previously known as Raymannni), known for his previous Rayman fangame, ''[[{{LongTitle}}Rayman Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''. It features new levels, enemies, worlds, unlockables, collectibles, and much more.

** One of the major goals for Ryemanni while developing the game was giving Mr. Dark [[AdaptationExpansion a more fleshed-out character and a proper boss fight to himself]], rather than merely casting a few spells in Rayman's direction, dropping the Dark Chimera on him and then disappearing. [[spoiler:He carries an expanded version of his moveset from the Game Boy port of the original Rayman, mixing them with the flame pillars he utilized to torment Rayman when he stole Rayman's punch ability. Not only that, when you unlock all the Electoon Cages, he escapes to fuse himself with the Great Protoon for a final stand.]]

** All of Rayman's powers from the original game are unlocked from the start. The flying rings, springs and climbing beads are unlocked by reaching "Toontotems" in Dream Forest, Blue Mountains and Cave of Skops, respectively.
** In the original game, Tings were only good for getting more lives. Here, they can be used to buy skins, more health, extra lives and more.

** The Bonus Stages from the original game where you pay 10 Tings to enter for a chance to get an extra life are replaced with fully-fledged challenge stages that are unlocked by getting enough Wizard Tokens, a new collectible.

** Each world has four levels instead of three, so Blue Mountains, Picture City and Cave of Skops have an extra level each.There are also more enemies, and some of the ones from the original game have even been made into mini bosses.

** Instead of various save points appearing on the map, the game autosaves whenever you complete a level. These locations have been replaced by new levels centered around riding Bzzit and various Bonus Stages.
** A ''brand new world'', called Playtopia appears.

** Finally, a small complain about PC versions was the cut of the intro cutscene and the soundtrack. Ryemanni set them back in the same place they were on Playstation and added other tracks he made himself or remixed from other versions of the game.

** Rayman is this compared to the original game by virture of having all of his natural abilities (punching, grabbing ledges, the helicopter hair and running) from the start instead of needing to unlock them all.

** You no longer suffer knock-back when you are hit by something. Considering that there are plenty of dangerous obstacles stationed in the air or over pits, this is a ''much'' bigger deal than you might think.

** Secrets that spontaneously appear after Rayman occupies a given space now have a visible marker in the space Rayman needs to be in to make them appear.

** Taking a cue from ''Rayman Advance'', the GBA port of the original game, you can now actually see the trigger zones that make objects appear; they show up as little twinkles.

* AscendedExtra: Bzzit also appears in more levels this time around, with one in each world dedicated to riding him.

* InfiniteOneUps: Not only is there a BonusStage where you can play a slot machine to get as many lives as you like, but one screenshot shows Rayman literally having infinite lives. As in, ''the infinite symbol appears next to the life counter''. The infinite lives apply to the Casual difficulty only.
* InvincibleMinorMinion / KungFuProofMook: It is impossible to eliminate the robot enemies in Playtopia, so the best thing to do is try to push them into areas where they won't do too much harm.

** A number of the unlockable outfits Rayman can wear are references to other games in the series, such as the combat fatigues from ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'', Dark Rayman, and Dark Rayman's alternate palette from the GBC version. [[spoiler:The last two of these are his appearance from the original SNES prototype of ''Rayman 1'' and the 2D prototype of ''VideoGame/Rayman2TheGreatEscape'']].
** "Brain Games" is an entire level based on the concept of ''Rayman Junior'', an education-based spinoff of the original game.

** One of the challenge levels references the first level of ''[[{{LongTitle}}Rayman Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror!]]'', also created by Ryemanni.

** [[spoiler: [[EvilKnockoff Dark Rayman]] seems to have taken this role in [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon The End of the World]], considering how he sets back Rayman from Mr. Dark while he's fusing with the Great Protoon.]]

* TheDragon: Darktoon, a flying Antitoon-like creature who Mr. Dark gave his power to stop Rayman. [[spoiler:He loses this position upon failing too many times, with Mr. Dark stripping him of both his body and powers.]]

* AdaptedOut: [[spoiler:Mr. Dark doesn't kidnap Betilla in this game.]]

* HelpfulMook: The giant Antitoons at [[spoiler:The End of The World]] can't hurt Rayman with their punches. The player is meant to get BlownAcrossTheRoom just right to reach high ledges and rings. Though this can be subverted if a giant Antitoon happens to be near a bunch of spike balls...

* HailfirePeaks: [[spoiler:Dark Legacy combines the spiky fruit and vines from Dream Forest, the cliffs and boulders from Blue Mountains and the crystal platforms from Cave of Skops]].

** The Demise difficulty added in 1.1.0 is a more intentional example of this, as Rayman starts with only [[OneHitPointWonder one hit point]] and health powerups and 1-Ups will kill him if picked up.

* PaletteSwap: All of the bosses in the True Boss Rush have different colors, [[spoiler:except for the TrueFinalBoss.]]

* SoreLoser: The Chessmaster boss doesn't take kindly when you beat him at chess, whining that it doesn't count and accusing you of not playing fair [[Hypocrite whilst he sends hostile rooks and pawns to attack you and boomerangs his bowtie at you during the match]].

** Rayman is this compared to the original game, as he has all of his natural moveset (punching, grabbing ledges, the helicopter hair and running) from the very start, instead of needing to unlock all of them.

** One of the major goals for Ryemanni while developing the game was giving Mr. Dark [[AdaptationExpansion a more fleshed-out character and a proper boss fight to himself]], rather than merely casting a few spells in Rayman's direction, dropping the amalgamated bosses on him and then disappearing. [[spoiler:He carries an expanded version of his moveset from the Game Boy port of the original Rayman, mixing them with the flame pillars he utilized to torment Rayman when he stole Rayman's punch ability. Not only that, when you unlock all the Electoon Cages, he escapes to fuse himself with the Great Protoon for a final stand.]]

* BlobMonster: The boiling hot chocolate monster summoned by Mr. Dark in Candy Chateau, which is also an AdvancingWallOfDoom. Touching it results in instant death, and is accordingly fought on a bridge by dropping objects on its head.

* PaletteSwap: All of the bosses in the True Boss Rush have different colors, [[spoiler:except for Mr. Dark's OneWingedAngel form.]]

** The [[GodMode invincibility cheat code]] is a reference to the famous cheat code from the classic ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' games.

** Once you've gotten all of the cages, the TrueFinalBoss appears. Defeating the final boss unlocks [[spoiler: [[BrutalBonusLevel Dark Legacy]]]].

* BossRush: One of the later "Magician's Challenges", where you fight all end world bosses, alongside True Boss Rush with all bosses and mini-bosses as more powerful variants, unlocked by collecting all tokens. [[spoiler: The True Boss Rush also includes a special form of Mr. Dark at the end of it all, fought on Bzzit's back.]]

** [[spoiler: [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon The Final Showdown]]: Purple]]

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:After getting his own body destroyed by Mr. Dark, Darktoon joins Rayman's side on the account of his boss being "a big meanie"]]

** A number of the unlockable outfits Rayman can wear are references to other games in the series, such as the combat fatigues from ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'', Dark Rayman, and Dark Rayman's alternate palette from the GBC version. [[spoiler: The last two of these are his appearance from the original SNES prototype of ''Rayman 1'' and the 2D prototype of ''VideoGame/Rayman2TheGreatEscape'']].

** Some skins, that can be purchased, reference other games or people, i.e. the superpowers from ''Rayman 3'', or the Plum skin being a reference to Rayman speedrunner [=Glackum1=].

* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: Subverted. Unlike the original, the game grants Rayman his natural moveset (punching, grabbing ledges, the helicopter hair and running) from the very start. However, his ability to use the Flying Rings and the other two new abilities introduced in the remake needs to be unlocked by visiting the three Toontotems.

* Mistreatment-InducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:After getting his own body destroyed by Mr. Dark, Darktoon joins Rayman's side on the account of his boss being "a big meanie"]]

* AntiVillain: Bzzit is the only antagonistic character that isn't evil or extremely hostile. When Rayman first encounters him, he only fights Rayman because he doesn't want to deal with any suspicious characters or trouble (a sentiment that, as later encounters with friendly [=NPCs=] will prove, is ''very'' justified). He very quickly drops this once Rayman befriends him after beating him (being the ONLY antagonistic character in the entire game to go through a HeelFaceTurn) and helps Rayman ascend through several levels [[spoiler:and even to the confrontation with the final boss.]]
