Aaaayyyyyyyy!

Master Lumpy is here
What the fuck lumpy?
Wait you watch his videos lumpy?
Hey Lumpy!
"Don't push your luck, Antman, or I'm gonna send Thanos' butthole after you."
I don't know why that joke made me laugh so much but it did.
i read this as it happened in the video and i hurt

"You look like Rayman"
... Oh... Oh crap...
HE DOES. THE HAAAIR

Nitrorad is human Rayman confirmed!
Not the nose though
Nitro Rad? More like Radman!
First name, Nitro.
The stars have aligned, the end times are nigh, the AntGuy and NitroglycerinRadical have merged in one video.
Their battle shall be legendary!
"NitroglycerinRadical" - Nice.
Two videos*
I'm so old that my first big intermet crossover was AVGN VS Nostalgia Critic
They are both, most likely, my favorite gaming UA-camrs who are on the lesser known side of things. They aren't some million+ subs. Even though I am sure they will both get there sometime soon. Nitrorads Halloween specials are awesome. As are Antdudes top 10 list vids. Happy to see them working together.
When Antdude said "good luck with that, we live on complete opposite sides of the continent" I thought that was the start of a bit where Antdude o NitroRad were actually gonna travel to the other one's location just to fake a fight like those old AVGN vs NC videos
I thought Nitro was gonna do a Rayman and detach his hand to strangle him.
GroovyGreaser lol I thought the same thing
Jesus, those take me back.
Or that collab vid with SomecallmeJohnny and Caddicarus
Didn't PBG do something like that once?
If Rayman was human, Nitro Rad would definitely be him, looks wise.
I can't be the only one who wants to see this game remastered, because there's definitely potential, it just needs some extra fine-tuning. But I guess for now everyone could settle for competitive kung-foot for rayman e-sports
Both this and Rayman 2 need a modern remaster that combines the unique elements from the separate ports into one package. There's no ideal way to play either of these titles, and that kinda sucks. It's a far more valuable use of resources than pouring a literal BILLION DOLLARS into the next Grand Theft Auto - Grand Theft Auto, indeed. There's some kinda robbery going on there!
Love how there's a dartboard in the background with ant dudes face on it

I didn't even notice that
“Leave my pink squishy boy out of this he did nothing wrong” truer words have never been spoken.
Kirby is a small star child he CANT Do anything wrong
jacking off to kirby killed me we need the boys working together more often
How many demons has he killed?
I mean he literally devouers living beings all the time.
Kirby's a cold blooded murderer
*PrinceCharming* they come in and they (most likely) never come out
I played Rayman 2 on the Ps1 and I had no idea till now it was missing stuff.
Does the DS version have all the levels? I know that version sucks but it's the only other version of the game I've played.
TheLonelyGoomba I think so
TheLonelyGoomba Yeah, only the PS1 version is really lacking, but Rayman 2 on 3DS (maybe also the old iOS version) has an issue, basically the cobweb you need to jump on to get to the secret 1000th Lum isn’t bouncy. So it’s impossible to 100% it. I’m pretty certain Nitro Rad highlights it in his Rayman 2 review. The “best” version and the version the original creator considers definitive is the Dreamcast version, it runs at 640x480@60fps. All other versions run at 30fps. And weirdly the the PS2 version has voice acting like the PS1 version, but it’s just way better.
Wait u?
My dude i thought the pc port was a remake from the ps1
Kevin Scholten there’s a PC version!?
"Do I have to kick your ass?"
Well then... guess what my new ringtone is.
Finally the crossover we all wanted.

*clicks so fast my finger breaks mach 2*
I have never heard the words “eat my entire ass” uttered in such a calculated and perfectly measured fashion.
Amazing video, by the way. I’ll never get enough out of Rayman, and I personally can’t wait for the eventual videos about Origins and Legends.
LOL I love the way he said that too, it was perfect.
he still has not made the vids :(
You know given Tonic Trouble will probably never get a sequel, I'd be fine with them retconning it into being in the Rayman universe and just have Ed be a Rayman character.
Maybe even have him show up as a less scary living skeleton as a joke?
they are set in the same universe as shown in Rayman 2's cutscene showing Tonic Trouble's General selling the mech to the Razorbeard
Can we have S U P E R E D?
@@cardboardhawks6783 I'd be more than happy to go and slap some tomatoes around
@@1ochotnik So do you think that maybe Ed’s world and Rayman’s world have tensions between each other because of the Grolgoth thing? Is that maybe why Ed is a chained up skeleton in this game?
It's funny, as a kid I always thought this was the first Rayman game, even though it had a vastly different gameplay style from two or three. What made this even worse, is that I had even played Rayman 1 before I got this game, but I still thought this was where Rayman started. I was an idiot kid.
I played the first Rayman on Gameboy after playing Rayman M. Amazing memories, the franchise is incredible.
Yeah right because the gamecube and ps2 was released before the ps1 and dreamcast
I loved Rayman M
It was yeeeaaars later till I found out that Rayman 2 had a better version... as a kid (at the time less internet info) I feel that happened a lot back then.
When did Antdude & Nitro Rad become 2019's Caddicarus and Brutalmoose?
Mattdale16 I was thinking the same thing. This video really reminds me of that time they did the video on that cringe Bible game together, the great Zoo Race... good times. And the other game I can’t remember the name of
When WHEN!!!???

The fact that there are so many differences between the PS2 version and the GameCube version is already interesting enough, but there are also a few differences between the original Rayman M and the American Rayman Arena.
Only the PS2 version (and a PC port) and Rayman Rush were released in Europe, so we never got the GameCube version of the game. However, the American PS2 version also has a few small updates over the European version.
Mostly in the racing mode of the game.
AntDude mentioned you can fire Ice Bullets in the standard racing mode in the PS2 version, but this wasn't possible in the European PS2 version. Just like in the GameCube version, you can only fire projectiles to activate switches or hit obstacles.
Music is also handled differently in the European version. Nitro Rad mentioned that the theme song of the character in first will play in the background. In the European version (at least in single player) the theme of the character who you are controlling will play without interruptions. Each theme song gets more instruments over time and by the final lap
, every character's theme sound absolutely fantastic.
When the PC version was released in America, a LAN mode was added to the game, but this was absent in the European PC version.
One more thing. While I agree that the GameCube version is generally an improvement over the PS2 version, one thing I do like better about the PS2 version is that standard races in single player are always played against 3 CPUs. The GameCube version usually pits the player against a single CPU player or sometimes 2 CPUs and I personally don't find that as exciting. There are more small differences between the PS2 and GameCube version, but this mostly covers it.
Ps2 combat better too
In Ps2 version, we can add bots in multiplayer (if we are 2 players we can add 0,1,or 2 bots). Also, in the Gamecube version we can't..
:(
To be fair,unnecesary editions runs in Rayman's DNA,need I remmind you of Rayman 1 and 2 infinite rereleases
I played this on Playstation and also remember the skins being brought over in Rayman M.
In Rayman M you could still play time attack against friends while the singleplayer campaign featured popolopoi and lums which in my opinion are way better for singleplayer than time attack. I also like the Rayman M/PS2 menu/interface way better. And in Rayman M you still have the bonus race levels in the virtual space as well as the tower battle map and even a time trial level where you have to beat all races in a row.
"They changed the title in the west" You do know Europe is a part of the west, right?

oops
Only the United States matters

Good lord that theme when Rayman is winning hit me so hard in the nostalgia
The PC version honestly looked way better than the ps2 version.
It does, especially now that it has HD textures
This is like the time Dr Phil met Steve Harvey
Dr. Ant and Nitro Radey
Or the time Bill Nye met Mr Rogers
This reminds me of AVGN and Nostalgia Critic’s goofy rivalry
I especially love the contrast of them being so calm while reviewing the game and that back and forth banter in their scenes on camera
I think they are funnier
Just with actual charm.
The AVGN/Nostalgia Critic feud was funny at times, but it was way too forced. This just feels natural. A lot of passive aggressive banter and a calm demeanor makes it hilarious.
Only it makes sense
For some reason, Antdude and Nitro Rad kind of remind me of Odd Della Robbia and Ulrich Stern from "Code Lyoko." Both in terms of their appearance, and attitude.
Nitro Rad has blond hair and a purple hoodie just like Odd, and Antdude has dark hair, just like Ulrich. It only makes sense.
Personally, I find the PS2 version's UI/HUD to be more ascetically fitting, with its rusty metal machinery look (like most of Razorbeard's contraptions), the ones in the ports to me are just flat shaded and dull.
Also, where's Brady at? A cameo of his would've been more fitting for a multiplayer game.
*the perfect crossover doesn't exis-*

Burn Angel Well that just makes me Nitro Sad.
I thought I was the only one who knew this game existed, same with the TV show! I love them both!
Also NitroRad and AntDude teaming up is EPIC!
Woah I'm seeing double Nitro Rads!

So what should we call this combination? AntRad? NitroDude?

19:50 Rayman 2 is such a good game that even with half missing it's worthy of being a GOAT. That is a massive flex
Even then, while a lot of the deleted content were some pretty fun parts in the original game, there were quite a few that were just tedious, even more the chair level, that one was so tedious. Not only that but the ps1 had it's own exclusive stuff like the Ninjaw fights which were pretty fun, some extra dialogue, a completely different final boss and the extra game at the ending.
I feel like he craps too much on the ps1 version, well so does everybody, it's a fun version for a second playthrough.
@@crogurk8459 Ninjaws really was the only noteworthy addition in my opinion, as well as some plot points explaining why the second guardian helps you instead of trying to kill you like the others did. Wasn't worth removing half the game for that and bad voice acting though.
@@HardCorePoration Wouldn't say bad voice acting, it wasn't special but it was passable, but true, though again I do think as a second playthrough version of sorts it's neat, you better off playing either the pc, ps2 or dreamcast versions first.
Still honestly if by some miracle we do get a rayman 2 remake, I do wish they kinda brought some stuff from it like the ninjaws, guardian interactions and maybe a extra part of the final boss based on the one in the ps1, always found the original final boss a bit lame. But Ubisoft doesnt care about Rayman so that won't happen anytime soon sadly. :/
@@crogurk8459 No, we need a 3D Sequel to Rayman 3 & Legends so that the franchise becomes cannon so that there would be no confusion with the timeline between the original trilogy and the UbiArt games
@@PlayStation_5247 Honestly I would love to have a new 3d rayman game that plays a bit more like 3 but feels like 2 in terms of story and that can funally set up a canon for all of the series but Ubisoft doesn't really care much for our limbless boy. A remake of the original trilogy is our best bet for now... or well when Ancel is done with Beyond good and evil 2
This is honestly one of the best videos youve ever made. Managed just the right amount of rivalry between NR and AD to keep it interesting without going overboard and getting cringy. Well done

This video was pure nostalgia. I have so many memories of playing this on the PS2 with my brother when I was a kid.
I remember growing up with the PS1 version, me and my brother used to play the shit out of this and we love the silly Ps1/2 intro, it pretty much sums up what me, my brother and my friends used to do to eachother in the game
I also bought it as a kid, and.... I questioned whether it was my best purchase or not, but I actually did end up playing it a TON. I must note that this game has some of the BEST music ever. Each character has their own, kick-ass track and the tracks have 4 versions which all play depending on which lap of the race you are on, picking up or lowering tempo, it was a game along with Jak II that made me love dynamic soundtracks. By the way, the bonus race tracks were also in Rayman M (PAL) version, too.
*Snickers*
Is that a Dartboard with AntDude's Face on it in the back? 😂
Always glad to see another Rayman review. He is the one guy who keeps me going in life and I hope Rayman gets more attention in the update years.
I grew up with Rayman Arena on PS2. My brother and I recently got Rayman 2 Revolution when we were kids, and on my brother's birthday, he was allowed to get a game as a present, and he came home with Rayman Arena. The amount of fun we had with this game was just insane, we absolutely loved this game. Today we sometimes play it on PS3 for old time's sake as a PS2 classic in the PS Store
Great video, I love how you guys were constantly taking shots at each other. It was really entertaining!
The dart board with Ant's head in the background had me in stitches.
Great review man
This was one of the first ever games i ever played in my life
Great childhood gem
I'm sure there is no better way to end the year than this long awaited featuring!
😊
Man I love the Rayman content from you Nitro. Keep it up!
1 of the best games of my childhood. Just learned it had 2 versions, we had enough with the ps2 version :) sick video guys
i've had rayman's theme as a rington for my phones for so long i still istinctively search for it when i hear it
E.O.W. That’s so cool
I always love your music choice. I definitely heard Spyro stuff and Lisa (maybe?). Hope you have a great holiday!!
The crossover I always wanted.. it's just amazing!
Not even smash after so many cool newcomers... can compete with this beautiful crossover I love both of you! Thanks for the great content
I love how these two videos parallel one and other
The "friendship" between these two is just the best.
So cool that I discovered both of you pretty much at the same time, about 3 months ago and now you do a collab 😁 love you both!
I didn't have so many memories of Rayman Rush, even though I've had it and played it when I was a child, but that was until I heard Rayman's theme song and suddenly I couldn't stop smiling. Great video, I love both of you, you are so great
Seeing Nitrorad get so calmly mad at Antdude's ice pun was kind of hilarious
I’m glad you mentioned rayman rush, that’s the one i grew up with too.
I adored this game!! Made my older brother play this game with me all the time lol youve earned a new sub.
Rayman is one my favorite characters in gaming
I just love nitrorads voice. I dont know why it just soothing
18:21 Can't speak to whether the other versions have this, but in Arena on the Gamecube, if you press the Y button right after landing from a jump, you get a small boost. And when you run over a dash panel you can mash the Y button to make it last longer. It's a technique I don't remember the game ever teaching and it's damn near necessary if you want to comfortably beat the races at higher difficulties.
I never knew that trick, it’s no wonder it took me so long to beat this game! I had to be absolutely perfect!
I just found my old PC copy (which wasn't even mentioned) yesterday, so good timing.
I kinda disagree about the menus tho. Dunno if they're more legible on GC, but I don't think they fit with the style of the game and overall feel pretty generic. Except for the standard fonts during gameplay in the OG versions, they don't fit either.
Agreed.
I had the PC version too. Judging from the video and what I remember, it seems to be identical to the PS2 version; I wonder if there are any differences.
@@FireballFlame Sadly there aren't any real differences between the ps2 and pc version, well except for one in the american pc version. It has Lan mode, which you can probably play online using programs like Hamachi.
@@crogurk8459 In PC you can't freeze people in time attack modes, while in ps2 you can :)
So glad someone is such a Rayman channel that the person himself is Rayman. Good part of my childhood
You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you guys to collaborate.
Ok but that Henchman 800 theme? Easily my favorite music in the series
And I grew up with Rush... Yeah
I actually ended up having Rayman M when I was kid
I recall it fairly fondly. Never had an issue with it graphically however, even looking back. Some things look a little more bland granted, but it's not exactly BAD
Your best video to my opinion :) so much perfect lines!
Another incredible video! All the games you cover in vids are SO well written, informative and enjoyable to watch!!Ahh!😁🤓♥️

Nitro Rad v Antdude : Dawn of the Platformers
Woaaah !
An *AntDude video* featuring *Nitro Rad* ?
Awesome dude !
So glad my favorite UA-camrs AntDude and AntDude did a collab video!
HOO I wasn't expecting to get hit with that much nostalgia when Rayman's theme started playing
Me: How can you two throw hands like this, when you're unified by the strongest thread of all: your shared love of Kevin Faragan shir-
Rad: hey kevin u could draw me choke assDude
Kev: okay :^)
Me: ..and the binding thread has now taken a side. didn't really expect it to play out like that
Not gonna lie, had to pause the video immediately just to say, I absolutely loved Rayman M as a kid. I think my dad got it for free from a magazine and we would play it all the time. Some of my happier childhood memories. Even today every couple of years I play it by myself because it still has that sentimental value to it and I just find its a fun game. Primarily the races though. That's what I am all about. Super excited to see you cover it.
Edit: Had no idea about the console versions, but the PC one I have is based on the PS2 one, which is really interesting to see all these years later.
Thank you so much for covering this game it's personally one of my favorite Rayman games. I've actually had experience with both versions and I agree the GameCube version is the superior one because of the extra characters skins and much more refined racing the combat is it my favorite but it's still really fun I really did like the game and I'm really thankful that you guys reviewed it I love the game myself and I'm really thankful that you guys will possibly teach more people about the game. Even if it does come across as mediocre.
I actually enjoy Nitro rad's editing and narration more then ant dudes
Toasty_b1 Same here
I like Antdude more
@NitroRad Hey there! I'm A rayman M speedrunner for the PS2 version, Also known as AuraAmile. Used to hold the WR now second place, but what you said in the end isnt fully right though haha. in case of speedrunning the game is pretty hard, there is no limit on how fast the boosters can get you, meaning the faster you mash, the faster you go, and with a lot of glitched (what I assume no casual used since you have to go over the finnish line in a specific way since they forgot to make the checkpoints must go through) it makes up for a good run ! though I get the point of a casual level, since ngl if you just play with friends it's easy to pick up. Anyway great video, glad to see someone still cares about our limbless guy
"The HUD is way less cluttered"
*Shows a HUD with more clutter as an example*
The collab I've been waiting for for years
Actually, you are able to keep your momentum from jumping. Press Y/Triangle when you land on the ground to do a dodge roll, which will speed you up for a second.
I wish there were more games in the subgenre of competitive 3D platformers. I never heard of this game, but it reminds me a LOT of Mad Dash Racing for the OG Xbox... wouldn't mind seeing that being covered here. ;)
You two have such good chemistry that of which makes your shade towards each others alot more funny! Seriously you two work great together in the same vein as caddicarus and somecallmejohnny or gilly the kid.
I really like how Rayman’s design never got edgy or different because reasons any major change was mostly slightly different shaped shoes and his bandana getting turned into a hoodie. And other outfits are more so played up as a goof vs being a replacement for his design.
Haha i remember playing this so much to the point where my right eye got a red vein when i was little, i was scared so i covered it with a toy pirate eyepatch and continued playing haha. This games OST is great.
That's dedication. Was your eye okay?
Yeah from what i recall that vein was only there for about a day, just had to relax my eyes for a bit just to be sure, i think it’s been like 15 years or so ago
The new age nerd and critic rivalry if they both did video games
you guys have a funny dynamic, love it!
I still love this game. Played it during this time of year last year and I fell in love with it again.
Rayman M was nostalgic to me !
Wait I thought it said there's a collab? All I see is my favorite platform game reviewer.
Rayman arena for GC was technically my first video game and I got so excited when I found out you were reviewing it 😭😭😭 I didn't have a memory card for a long time, so used to play it over and over hoping to beat it in one run. I never did but I always had fun with it regardless :'')
I love how you two act like brothers constantly jabbing and poking at each other but still working together hahaha
I love how it almost felt like a normal conversation. Just imagine how cool a Caddicarus & Nitro Rad might be.
I would agree but also Nitro is an absolute jerk to Ant for no reason
AND HE'S JUST AS MUCH OF A JERK IN THE OTHER COLLAB VIDEO WHY
@@poyosphere8553 it's just like homer and flanders homer is a jerk but we love seing them fight
thank you
This is so weird, I started following you at 83k and AntDude before at 112k or something like that. It's like when you know two friends, then they get to know each other, then they have a baby. Twins actually.
And competitive game and shooting at each other, called it!
(Amazing work guys, this was awesome)
Was not expecting a pulp fiction reference my favorite movie . Cultured and RAD😂
since james is dressed as rayman, I think antdude should be naked with red shoes
Strange, I always preferred the PS2 version, I don’t see what’s attractive about the menus on the GameCube personally
Also if you want a strange platform we that had an even stranger sequel, check out Pandemonium on PS1 ! Super fun game with janky controls, great but odd music, and a sequel that makes no sense !
Yeah the menus in the gamecube were way to boing and simple looking
I swear the arguments in his videos are so random from complaining about something being to simple and then something being too complex.
MY CHILDHOOD GAME THAT NO ONE EVER TALKED ABOUT!?!! YEEEEEES!!! I'm so incredibly happy you have no idea!
