Just a friendly reminder that The Rabbids were originally from Rayman. Absolutely loved this DLC, funny that he’s now in a Rabbids game.

I love how rayman knows exactly what the rabbids are and are just SICK of them at the beginning of the story.

Yes the costumes are cannon. They're from Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc, where Rayman could get temporary powerups from costumes.

I think the funniest/most tragic aspect about Rayman and the Rabbids is that Rayman has ALWAYS been more popular and sold more copies (heck, I think the best selling Rabbids games has Rayman in the title front and center lol). Ubisoft literally just replaced Rayman with the Rabbids because they felt like it 😑

39:47 rayman killing off a rabbid that was bitching about him is so cathartic frfr.

I’m glad that Rayman is finally getting the recognition he deserves

rayman walking out a big grey cloud of smoke with the gigachad theme playing is the hardest thing ever

0:41 if I'm correct the rabbids actually came from the rayman games. However the rabbids became so popular that they just got their own stuff and left rayman in the dust. Until now

The crazy thing about the diss track is that he was replace by the rabbids, they were the main enemy for one of his games and killed him due to the marketable taking over the focus Ubisoft had for it

To be fair, the Rabbids were originally Rayman characters before becoming their own thing.

Okay but we can all agree that the guitarist in the rock phase of the Phantom fight did not have to go THAT F*CKING HARD.

As a big Fan of Rayman i was very excited when this DLC was first announced. And excited further when we heard of various gameplay mechanics for Rayman himself. And then During my entire playthrough of the DLC i was constantly joyous whenever i spotted a unique reference. It's easily my favourite of the DLC's for either of the mario + rabbids games. I hope that Ubisoft will allow this Team to make a new Rayman game in the future. I reckon they can pull it off well.

That phantom diss track was so harsh, and kinda ironic since it’s basically coming from ubisoft who have pretty much forced Rayman away from the spotlight by not including him in anymore games or crossovers until now 😂😂

I hope they will ever make a third Mario + rabbids game. I want so badly the game continues

When you realize that the phantom’s main point of mockery is how Ubisoft essentially took what started out as a faction of his enemies in a party game spin off, and had them replace him almost entirely.

0:47 The rabbids were originally rayman characters that became so popular that Ubisoft gave them their own games.

I felt like a plunger to the face was the best way to take out the final boss, too.

Still waiting on that unfulfilled promise of "See you in Rayman 4!" from my childhood.

I hope rayman and mario actually get to meet each other whenever (if ever) another one comes out

My favorite part of this DLC by far was just seeing how HARD Rayman was BALLIN with those guards

if they give you a broken move, that's a sign the game's gonna be difficult

Goodbye Sparks of hope, you literally gave us hope

Seeing this means they do have the potential to make a new 3D Rayman game if they wanted to. It's just a matter of when. I enjoyed the hell out of this DLC.

I'm so glad they gave Beep-O a voice actor. He did an amazing job.

This was my favorite DLC, glad to finally see Choc play it

I just love that the "ferocious dragon" looks like the rayman legends dragons from the first world.

2:22 COMBAT FATIGUES that’s exactly what we needed!

Choc you gotta give the Rayman games a try. They are some pretty fun platformers and I think you'd get a kick out of them. The only thing is though there isn't really any place to play the old ones Rayman 1,2, and 3 so you'd have to dig around for alternatives on playing them. The best you could do however is play Rayman Origins & Legends (both are Multiplayer as well, Local though.)

the rabbids killed rayman, at the end they truly were his most dangerous ennemies it seems

14:59. The fact that you have Three Stooges right here makes me so fuckin happy.

This was such a big fan service! I love how they made references to the original trilogy! I hope this will be a wake up call to ubi to finally give us a 3d rayman!

I am glad rayman is finally back and im glad you played this dlc!

Finally! More Rayman! Thank you ubisoft!

The Vortex and Rocket costumes come from Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. In fact those use changed versions of those that are in that game. The former suit is based on a early concept art while the latter has a rocket gun instead of having Rayman turn his hand into an actual rocket.

Rayman is now dlc in his own goddamn series

Seeing phantom return in the dlc was the best part for me.i was addicted to singing his songs during quarantine . Then once the dlc was released [I got the physical gold pass] I wanted to sing the new songs. And I mastered them in one day. I scare me sister with my good singing skills and now I get to watch the king of dk play it

2:24 Yeah, Raymans costumes are canon. They came from game "Rayman 3"

"he really just said the rabbid's replaced you" because they did

0:40 Those are some fighting words, Choc.

Very nice! I'm glad Rayman is back (even temporarily). It is a shame Michel Ancel (Rayman's creator) retired from game development as I am not sure how much Ubisoft actually cares about Rayman and his franchise. I still hope for a Rayman 4, but it becomes increasingly unlikely...though, hey, we got a Crash 4 and Pikmin 4, so who knows? Also, Choc bringing up Dynamite Headdy caught me off guard. That was a childhood favorite of mine and I didn't even know many others who had even heard about it. Potential Dynamite Headdy playthrough with Choc? Or even a Rayman 2 or 3 playthrough? 🤔

My boy, my dear sweet limbless boy has returned!

Coming back to this is so fun, after Captain Laserhawk.

That sick burn for Rayman is a good sign of quirky humor and good writing might persist through the more cartoony part of ubisoft.

the costumes are a reffrence to hoodlum havoc where rayman got super powered costumes, or "combat fatigues" by blasting Rayman's clothes with the hoodlums "lazer detergent" and if you think THAT don't fit Rayman, remember ANYTHING that would serve as a fever dream of an imaginative ayahuasca abbuser fits in the Rayman-verse

'putting rayman with more popular ips like rabbids' they wouldnt exist without him lol

Rayman has a entire trilogy before Rayman Arena.

It was fun watching this! I just hope rayman will continue to get the recognition he deserves

Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc was always my favourite Rayman game and I always loved the first Rayman Raving Rabbids despite it's flaws so this DLC combining the two had me overjoyed. Not to mention adding one of the best parts of Kingdom Battle, this DLC was almost perfect.

Best Rayman 3d model in my opinion

4:09 finally someone had to do it

“Combat fatigues! That’s exactly what we need.” -Rayman

I love the rabbids games so watching you play this is so awesome since I don’t have it yet.

The irony of the Phantom upstaging Rayman is that the Rabbids upstaged Rayman in his own game series.

1:35 *"oh God someone gave Rayman a GUN-"*

I love how game companies are coming together and being friendly, with Smash playing no small part in helping. I used to say that this is the closest we will ever get to a Rayman and Mario crossover, but seeing how Nintendo let Rayman wear a Mario hat and Mario hold a Rayman hoodie, I don't think this will be the last time Mario and Rayman will come together...

the costumes are based off of his appearance in Rayman 3, where he had Five different costumes that acted timed power-ups, the vortex and rocket ones are real but have been redesigned and reworked to fit the mechanics of this game, like in rayman 3, the rocket powerup would turn one of rayman's hands into a rocket which you usually had to then fire off and guide through a section to like push a button or something, meanwhile the vortex suit he'd throw a punch and a tornado would fly out, which can be used for combat or to lower platforms

What i have been waiting for. Not the dlc but for choctopus to play the dlc

The costumes are combat fatigues from Rayman 3, albeit slightly redesigned to look more distinct. It’s pretty cool cause you’d think Rayman 2 would get all the attention for his big comeback.

Glad he came back even tho I’m not the biggest fan of him. Love his gameplay and animations, felt it was easy cause of how powerful he is. The final battle with phantom is incredible. They definitely know and are aware how much people miss him with the references and the song by phantom. Ending is so wholesome too, love this game. ❤

Bringing back Tom Phan and his diss track operas was the best decision Ubisoft has ever made.

The phantoms songs gave big "great mighty poo" vibes, but cleaner

Rabbids Originated in the Rayman Games btw. At least they were supposed to. They were originally meant to be a dormant ancient dormant species that rose up outta nowhere and started causing havoc.

If you didn't notice, but phantom in the final phase is wearing his original decor.

Bro I’m stuck on the fact that Rayman is actually talking

10:10 *I see rabbid Mario graduated from shit talking university.*

I expected the phantom to tear into Rayman like he did Mario last time. I'm pleased to say that Tom Phan does not disappoint. That was brutal!

0:08 Nah nah nah, hes got a ticket to the BALAN THEATER BABY

God, its so refreshing to see Rayman back in a console game, especially in a DLC. Ever since Rayman fell into the mobile gacha curse I wasn’t sure that there was any hope left for him, but its so great to see him back from where he originally started!

*Rayman* breaks free

Oh wow I never thought of Dynamite Headdy being an accurate comparison for this DLC but it very much feels like that yeah! Loved that game too 🥺❤

Really hope in Mario + Rabbids 3 they actually add Rayman as a full playable character, missed opportunity for him and Mario to not interact together.

Let's get Choc to play Rayman 1-3, we all know he'd love those games

Hey Choc. That last fight against the phantom gets harder when you get that viewership bar maxed out! It makes the last fight much more fun!

Imagine being called “second fiddle “ to the rabbids of all things

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Rayman was born with no limbs due to production values

The vortex and rocket costumes are both callbacks to rayman 3. Both costumes were power-ups in that game!

Yes, finally it’s been like 14 days since this has released

I can't believe he wasn't angry about phantom calling Rabbit Mario weakling

I love how Phantom made the vacuum joke and Choc completely forgot he said Beep-O looked like a Roomba in the first game

I’d like a do and Rahman dlc in the future or in the next Mario + rabbits game!

I might pick this game up just for Rayman

17:30 I enjoyed both, but my favorite is still the DK one (also cuz it's in my favorite M+R game). It adds that novelty for an already built ground while not being too overwhelming. It's more of a second campaign in that point of view, rather than a DLC, that's how DK adventure is good. Non the less i dare wish for both characters & franchises to keep themselves on their legs, to than one day give the players & the fans what they love from them.

We can tell Ray man wanted to punch that guy in the song

and here i thought you needed all gold to max out the phantom meter

Cinematheque and mea culpa beeing read by google translate is just great for a beginning of a video

I haven’t even watched this video but i already know it’s amazing

Glad they brought the good aspect of Rayman back (Rayman himself)

The costumes, I think. are references to Hoodlum Havoc, where he got costume specific abilities.

"Grape robots" THEY'RE PLUMBS!!!

Rayman legends is unironically one of the best games I've ever played I can't recommend it enough

Ubisoft will put rayman in anything, but will refuse to make him another game

If you're wondering why Rayman has no limbs it's because when he was created they accidentally dropped a bag of lums on the way to the ritual to create him so he was born incomplete But that is just the rayman origins version In the original like the very first game on the playstation if I recall he was created by some dudes dream. If I recall rayman was meant to be a jester for his amusement and with his floating limbs would make him laugh. I only remember bits and pieces of his original origin story and when I looked for the info to refresh my memory I kept finding the origins version instead of the original

Damn. It kinda hurts how much theyre poking fun at Rayman after they themselves killed him for so long. Its a bit twisting the knife.

the costumes of vortex and rocket are from rayman 3 where he was able to use a lot of costumes with different powers, but this versions are more powerful than the originals

Yes Rayman!!!!!!

40:08 Rabbid Mario is a mood

26:37 spiders be like

After seeing how he is in captain laser hawk I can't help but feel like he seems kinda depressed lol idk but I'm happy to see good ol Rayman again that's for sure

I can’t watch anymore than 10 minutes of this right now because I don’t want any spoilers
