Discussion History Main / AlternateContinuity

* There are at least four different continuities in the \'\'VideoGame/{{Rayman}}\'\' games. The first game takes place in a surreal, cartoony world where everyone has FloatingLimbs. Then there is the \'\'VideoGame/{{Rayman 2}}\'\' universe that serves as the setting for all subsequent games (\'\'Videogame/RaymanM\'\', \'\'[[Videogame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc Rayman 3]]\'\' \'\'\'and\'\'\' including \'\'VideoGame/RavingRabbids\'\'; this is important later in this paragraph), a slightly more realistic fantasy realm. There are no ties to the universe or storyline from the first game and Rayman is now the only limbless character.[[note]]A cameo by the General from \'\'VideoGame/TonicTrouble\'\' suggests that \'\'Tonic Trouble\'\' takes place in this universe too. \'\'Tonic Trouble\'\' takes place on a surreal version of Earth where everyone has Raymanian Limbs, which flatly contradicts the slightly more realistic version of Earth we see in the \'\'Rabbids\'\' games, so let\'s keep things from getting too complicated and keep that out of the discussion, shall we?[[/note]] Then there is the [[WesternAnimation/RaymanTheAnimatedSeries TV series]] which has yet another different cast and universe. The presence of Admiral Razorbeard, the antagonist of \'\'Rayman 2\'\', suggests that it might have tied into the main universe had it been allowed to run for more than four episodes. And then there is the fact that \'\'Rabbids\'\' was spun off into its own universe with \'\'VideoGame/RabbidsGoHome\'\', set on a contemporary Earth.
** And now the newest game is... \'\'VideoGame/RaymanOrigins\'\', a prequel which appears to... wait for it... [[CanonWelding weld the first two universes together]]. ContinuitySnarl much?
