After escaping the circus, they have to find their way through the city of Aeropolis, with Inspector Grub hot on their trail.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Bettina's species is not confirmed but she looks like a human girl. In this case, she would qualify as a TokenHuman.

Where exactly this all fits in the ''Rayman'' continuity is anyone's guess. Notably, Razorbeard, the antagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}: The Great Escape'', does show up in the first episode, although he is reduced to a minion of Rigatoni. The series was supposed to run for thirteen episodes, so it might have tied in at some point.

* LeftHanging: The show was canceled after four episodes and never gave a conclusion to the story.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: A VHS and DVD of the series do exist, but they are very rare. If you've seen this series, you have most likely seen it online.

* TheOtherDarrin: Despite the entire series lasting only four episodes that run for less than an hour together, Bettina is voiced by three different actresses: Carolyn Lawrence in episode 1 and 2, Lacy Chabert in episode 3 and KathSoucie in episode 4.
