Rayman 2 Engine Test
According to a a page on the RayWiki site, this game served as a test for the engine that would be used for Rayman 2: The Great Escape. How it features vegetables reminds me of how "Keen Dreams" served as an engine-test release for the engine that would then be used in Keens 4-6. No relation to Rayman, of course, just an interesting similarity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.81.135 (talk) 21:41, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Both games were developed alongside and released around the same time, so this seems unlikely. Rayman PC is also not a reliable source per WP:USERG. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 12:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

PC release date

 * A date has since been added. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 12:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Tonic Trouble Beta
Back in '99 I received the Tonic Trouble PC version on cd-rom that was included in my old Pentium II's extensive software bundle. Unlike the PC version described in this article, I can distinctly remember not having to actually fight the final bad guy. Rather, I had simply to enter his canister shaped tower through a window, where the game then proceeded to a non-playable cutscene in which Ed would automatically defeat him. In addition, I don't believe there was even a Suzy (Doc's daughter), pharmacist, agent xyz, talking elephant, etc. in the entire game for Ed to meet...at least in my PC-CDROM version.

Tazmanian Darkness 21:16, 16 April 2007 (UTC) Me too, I had it for many years, then my father cut it in half with a scissors, because he said i wasn't doing school work very well. Yes, i never met Suzy either, and yes there is no boss, Ed threatens him with his stick and Grogh gives him the can to get rid of him...which he by the way fails in cause ed celebrates in the canister. Whats even scarier is that I TOO got the game (along with captian claw) when we bought my first computer (or that i could use)

The version you two have is a beta version that is completely different in level design to the final one. Also, this is the only version with the Rayman cameo. There should really be a section/article about the beta version because of the major differences.

79.160.219.72 (talk) 12:01, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Headsvett: (i was previously Taz) I could write an article about the beta, as far as story, levels and enemies. Though i dont know about the development, and im not all too good at writing articles All i know is my dad buying a compaq desktop computer with an offer of (i belive) 2 games bundled. My dad chose Tonic Trouble and Captian Claw.

If someone knows more about the development of the beta or anything really, please add below.

I shouls probably mention also that any development information you find should go in this article, as a seperate article on the beta version is unlikely to survive a notability check. Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 05:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * A mention of the beta version and how it was distributed has since been added to the Development section. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 12:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Soundtrack Link
The link takes you to a page of fan recordings, it doesn't seem to have any kind of endorsement form either UbiSoft or the composer. Is it correct to have it listed?
 * I would get the opinion of the wise ones at the VG project, but I'm guessing it's inappropriate. It would be nice to have one piece in a section about the soundtrack just to give the reader a better idea of what the soundtrack sounds like (in .ogg format), but especially because they're fan rips, this could be a copyright issue.

 * Unofficial links should not be included per WP:ELNO. The soundtrack link has since been removed. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 12:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Not related at all to Rayman series
The article claims that this game is a spin-off of the Rayman series, and contains Rayman series gameography, but that is not the case. The game is compared a lot to Rayman 2: The Great Escape because they are both made by Ubisoft, both are 3d platformers, both the main characters are designed the same (no arms, but hands), and were both released around the same time. However, despite these similarities and coincidences (whether intentional or not) the game's storylines are not set in the same universe and never have characters from either game been featured together. Therefore this game is not a spin off and has nothing to do with the Rayman series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.115.118.139 (talk) 20:16, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You are right, they have similar gameplay and animation styles, but they are not related. The line that said they are has since been removed. Yet, Tonic Trouble is often referred to Rayman 2's "little brother" by reliable sources. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 12:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
