* After calling Crash a "minus" (an idiot), Rayman tells him to "return playing with Cortex". This line is a little reference to the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', called "[[{{Woolseyism}} Minus & Cortex]]" in French, a funny detail when you know that the doctor was inspired by the Brain. Also, a little tongue rolling (sounding like a high-pitched "rrrrrraaaa" to give you an idea) can be heard at the end of the line, a reference to the French rapper Cortex who's less known for his music [[OvershadowedByControversy than his online provocations against celebrities in the earlies 2010s]], and whose tongue rolling is almost a signature sound.
