Rayman Head Canons: Canon Character voice claims part 3:

Welcome back to another episode of Rayman head canons, Canon character voice claims PART 3

Ly the fairy:

Ly was another that had what I thought was different voice acting between the Great Escape and Revolution. The voice I have for Ly is the revolution one, echo effect and all.

-----------------------------------------------

Grand Minimus/Most Male Teensies:

The actual Grand Minimus. As in the real king of the teensies. 

I had to do…a lot of deep research for this one here and I am still not sure if i have the actual guy here correct. As there was actually a number of uncredited roles when i was looking for this one. This one was one of the uncredited voices here according to my research.

According to what i found while I was doing my deep research, the uncredited voice for ALL the teensies in this game and tend to be the versions I use voice wise for most of the males, including the one I specifically picked for Grand Minimus here in the projects, they were supposedly all done by Matt Hill.

-I cover Matt Hill more in depth in a Behind the Voice Actors post-

There were a LOT of teensies within Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc. Many of them with different versions of voice takes and overall accents. They all sound quite a bit similar to each other minus the teensie doctors, which for the record, I can’t find any names to credit for those three bozos and they DID have places within Rayman Retold.

The Matt Hill teensie voice you hear Minimus use is this specific one from the end of Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc’s intro level:

-----------------------------------------------

King Gumsi:

The child brat -i mean- king of the knaaren people! I wanted to use the one and only from Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc since THAT is the Gumsi we know about and I still use. 

Guys, I looked everywhere for this. I looked all over the internet for this. I searched imdb, I searched the behind the voice actor site, and I of course scoured the Raywiki’s. I SEARCHED EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET AND GOT THE SAME RESULT!

You know how I mentioned in the Grand Minimus section that there were A LOT of uncredited roles or simply “Additional” voice roles?

well…uh…

UH…

Yeah, I have to use a voice clip sample here. Guys? If you watch my voice head canon/Voice Claim posts and you can provide me with some sources that prove this was a voice actor for some of these. PLEASE HIT ME UP, I BEG YOU!

Allow me to use my favorite clip as a voice reference:

-----------------------------------------------

Razorwife:

This includes an image reference because Razorwife is a bit on the obscure side of Rayman game characters, since she only had one appearance. Well if we wanna get technical: it was three, but these were all various console/region versions of the SAME game. Rayman M/Rayman Arena/Rayman Rush. Razorwife is the wife of the infamous Admiral Razorbeard and she appeared with him in these games not only as your opponent, but as an unlockable playable character in these games depending on the version you had. 

Razorwife did appear within Rayman Retold. She was going to be an important character within the plot lines that include her husband, Razorbeard.

There’s another reason I included a image of the character here. I have a feeling most of you know EXACTLY where I’m going with this one with the voice claim

…Julie Kavner. if you don't know who Julie Kavner is, you probably do know the character she voiced:

December 2018 Previously Unsolved Posts (now Solved)

After the flurry of posts that we put on this blog in January 2021, which included some old puzzles which appeared to lead to no-dead IMGUR links, Pangent reached out to Taurtine via DM to let us know some plans:

4We’re planning to rework “Mel B vs Piers Morgan,” “Crypto Cube,” “Design with Garfield,” and “Meredith Brooks” [due to Imgur issues]. I think that’s it, unless you’re having other troubles. This is going to delay things a little.

Look at December 2018 in the Pangent archive, and March 2019 in the HumanSoulsARG archive.

At this point Timescape was very understandably burnt out from carrying the project almost alone for so long, and said so privately to me.

A lot of content went unsolved around the same time, none of it especially important.

My notes from Dec 2018 state that we did six puzzles at once, including Crypto Cube, which were simply the raw level layouts for Super Spice World X.

None of those were important really, and I don’t think any of them got solved

My notes say: (crypto cube?) [penney] ** (sleigh ride?) ** (pepsi spice can) ** (Garfield Design) ** (Spice cards Goodbye) ** so that’s what those were.

We’ve now solved all of them, finding 4 Super Spice World X levels (one had already been found as intended to help with solving the Super Spice World X video), and 2 of them are now broken imgur links, as mentioned by Pangent.

The ‘broken’ puzzles were reworked into reblogs, which will be posted in a separate Solves post, so this post deals with the ones which didn’t have any problems.

JC Penny Catalog (Spice Dolls)

https://pangenttechnologies.tumblr.com/post/181125791847/

This post is about wanting a set of specific Spice Girls dolls:

Hello Santa. I have attached a clipping of what I want this year, from the 1997 JC Penney catalog. I have been good all year by my own personal standards, the finer details of which are confidential..

Interestingly, these dolls turned up in person at Pangent, years later:

It’s the same dolls. Even with the little stuff, Pangent is playing the long game here.

The little notebook in the corner of the ad has a punch-card-looking design.

The bars at the top were a little confusing as they didn’t appear to line up to  punch-card formats we were familiar with, but assuming the top bar means 'numbers’ and the lower bar means 'letters’ we can map the dots:

69 6D 67 75 72 48 44 73 77 67 65 56

which is hex for:

Providing this image for one of the levels of Super Spice World X.

This one already had 75 views when we 'rediscovered’ it so we likely solved it before (and we had faint memories of solving it before, but couldn’t seem to find the records.) But we eventually did find the solution, and confirmed that this image (or a reupload of it to imgur) was used in the Super Spice World X solve:

https://humansoulsarg.tumblr.com/post/183174645898/

fore the others, since we didn’t solve the related puzzles at the time, we had to patch together screenshots from YouTube like a crazed animal. It appears now, in retrospect, that these posts were intended by Pangent to provide assistance and/or clarification of possibly ambiguous or difficult to recreate scenes from the Supuer Spice World X gameplay video. Would have been really nice to have had them back then!

Sleigh Ride:

The “Sleigh Ride” picture contains a small barcode at top in the blue channel only

BGBLBECCCZEZDZDFCFEGEABM

If we try A1-PF, we get very bad hex due to the 'Z’s in there… 272B25333Z5Z4Z463657512C

very bad hex for:'+%30P@F6WQ,

IMGUR in hex is 696d677572 or 494d475552, I’m trying to kind of reverse engineer it and see what a solve would look like

looks a little like the second one if you add 2 to each?

Another Super Spice World X 'clean’ image.

Cryptocube and Garfield Design were mentioned as needing to be reworked, so we’ll skip those in this post.

Trees (Spice Card Goodbye) https://pangenttechnologies.tumblr.com/post/181168056852

On the trees, the 'almost red’ ornaments looked suspicious, so after a somewhat roundabout set of efforts by the team, we ended up with a solution.

Trees hex color of the ornaments transcript in a Z pattern. Your guess is as good as mine though d64071 d64144 d64067 d65065 d65062 d66143 d63070 d65141 d66064 d63061 d66141 d63062

take the last three of each:

071 144 067 065 062 143 070 141 064 061 141 062 9d752c8a41a2 as octal, and there's progress?

Okay, this is dumb and I officially hate this puzzle now, but add the third digit of each, in front of the octal decode, and you get:

49 4d 47 55 52 6c 38 5a 64 31 6a 32

which is hex for

IMGURl8Zd1j2

that is NOT a sensible way to encode this information

I would NOT have gotten that if I didn’t know it was an IMGUR

what’s not sensible about 'skip two characters, pull one character as hex, pull last three, decode as octal, then interpret as second hex character, then decode the hex byte as ASCII’?

So all that to say we were helped by looking for IMGUR, and managed to find the link to this image:

Whew! made it. Another Super Spice World X Level.

All right, another Super Spice World X level.

And the December 2018 Forgotten posts are in the books. Except for the reblogged stuff. Coming soon to a Solves blog near you.
