Hello there! I'm Inka Dinka Doo, coming from Miraheze and Fandom (the latter of which I recently joined). Due to the similar scripting styles of Miraheze, Fandom, and Wikipedia, I'm pretty familiar with how Wikipedia's scripting works. I've been viewing Miraheze and Fandom ever since the mid 2010s, and Wikipedia ever since the late 2000s. I made my Miraheze account back in August of 2020, Fandom in December of 2022, and Wikipedia on March 20th of 2023.

The article that I plan to write up is about a fangame under the title of "Rayman Redemption", which can be seen below. References will be added in the future.

Rayman Redemption is a free-to-play side-scrolling platform game created and developed by "Ryemanni" for Windows, released on June 19th, 2020. It's an unofficial remake of the first Rayman game released on September 1, 1995, which was originally developed by Ubi Studios, Ubi Soft Milan (Game Boy Color), and Digital Eclipse (Game Boy Advance), and published by Ubisoft.

The remake attempts to fix the original game's issues by heavily scaling down the difficulty of the game, which was the original game's biggest criticism, while adding numerous enhancements and exclusive content from specific versions of the game, along with new original content as well. Before its release, the game had a demo release, which was used to receive feedback on improving the game. The game also uses a few assets, concepts and ideas from one of Ryemanni's previous Rayman fangames, Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror.

Plot
The game follows a similar plot to the original game, albeit with a few changes. Similarly to the previous game, the story mostly revolves around the Great Protoon, which is a power source that keeps Rayman's world under control. The characters from the original game return, most of which were given a bigger role. New characters have also been added as well, whose importance depends on who the character is. These characters range from being an enemy or boss, to giving Rayman certain items.

The story begins with the Great Protoon being stolen by Mr. Dark, causing the Electoons, who also keep Rayman's world under control, to scatter everywhere, allowing for them to get captured and put in cages by Mr. Dark's minions. The Pink Helpers, who are new to the game, have also been locked away inside of Toontotems (which are also new additions to the game) in three separate locations. Betilla the Fairy, who guards the Great Protoon, attempts to stop Mr. Dark, but gets defeated instead. Rayman is then called to set out on a journey to defeat Mr. Dark and to retrieve the Great Protoon, the Electoons and the Pink Helpers, all while Mr. Dark watches Rayman from a mountain with binoculars on the world map. A new character named Darktoon, who also works for Mr. Dark for a majority of the game, also hunts down Rayman to try to defeat him.

After venturing through the game's first five worlds and reaching the third screen in the first Candy Chateau level, "Tasty Reception", Darktoon attempts to defeat Rayman again and nearly succeeds until being interrupted by Mr. Dark appearing right behind the two of them, resulting in Mr. Dark blowing up Darktoon after failing to defeat Rayman, leaving only his eyes and hair remaining. Mr. Dark later says that Rayman did nothing more than "delay the inevitable", and flees shortly after. In the level, "Mr. Dark's Dare", Mr. Dark appears again on the second screen to summon Dark Rayman, an evil clone of Rayman.

After reaching Mr. Dark's lair, Mr. Dark reveals that he was able to study the Great Protoon and use its powers, and attempts to defeat Rayman by using the Great Protoon to summon merged forms of the game's previous bosses to attack Rayman. With no success, Mr. Dark chooses to fight Rayman with just himself and the Great Protoon, only to lose to him. Mr. Dark then chooses to flee to the floating pink present in the sky, causing Rayman's world to fall into darkness.

Rayman then heads to one of the game's final levels, "The Lonely Cliff", to reach Mr. Dark, with all of his friends, along with Darktoon, waiting for him there. Darktoon also mentions that Mr. Dark treated both him and his other minions poorly. Bzzit, the game's second boss, is then used to fly to the floating pink present. During the flight, Dark Rayman and Dark Bzzit appear, but are defeated. Rayman and Bzzit then reach the floating pink present, with Bzzit leaving Rayman behind due to it being too hard for him to fly the rest of the way to Mr. Dark. Rayman then ventures to the top alone.

Upon reaching the top, Rayman finds the Great Protoon, only to learn that Mr. Dark received the entirety of the Great Protoon's powers by merging with it. Rayman and Mr. Dark then fight, and Rayman manages to defeat Mr. Dark and is then tasked with escaping the floating pink present as darkness starts to consume it. The Great Protoon then assists Rayman by granting him invincibility. Upon escaping, Rayman starts falling from the sky, only to land on Bzzit's back, making his fall much safer. After the darkness entirely consumes the floating pink present, Rayman's world and enemies (as seen in the credits) return to being normal as everyone celebrates Rayman's victory.

Upon returning to the world map, despite the binocular vision being gone, Mr. Dark remains alive. After defeating Mr. Dark's final form again in the True Boss Rush, Rayman gets taken to Mr. Dark's true final form after escaping the darkness that occurs after Mr. Dark's "defeat" again. In this form, Mr. Dark and the Great Protoon are enlarged and even stronger than before. Bzzit, who had caught Rayman after he escaped the darkness, flies to Mr. Dark and helps Rayman defeat him, and the duo succeed in doing so, ridding Mr. Dark of existence.
