Thanks for watching!
I'm not sure if it comes across in the video or not, but this was one of the more difficult challenge runs I've done so far. A lot of these tricks were very fiddly, but it gives me a new found apperication for the speed runners of this game.

I have a very fun one: try and complete Super Mario 64 without pressing the A button on the controller ;)
One that came to mind during this video for some reason: Can you beat Okami using only brush techniques?
Can you beat ray3 with the score of 0?
@@mcrsit without jumping sure, bit without the A button at all seems impossible. Atleast without jumping, you can roll into the paintings. But you roll by diving then pressing A. Still an intresting idea

All you need to do is perform a superjump, go into first person mode, mash X, dislocate your left thumb to press A at the same time, sacrifice the neighbours first born and make a special Christmas wish in order for Rayman to just tickle the edge of the platform…
You forgot something, the first born has to be named 'Steven' or it won't work
@@NGPlusVideos Darn, my neighbour's first born is a Steven with a P, Darn you Pteven!!!
@@RowanChill I think I found a trick to fix that. If you step on a Lego with your right foot at 3 pm during the mashing X part and hit the left trigger about 2-4 frames after your foot touches the floor, it should bypass the Steven Clause all together and allow you to use any spelling, though I’m not sure if it works on all versions of the game.
🤣
I have an alternate solution first do a failed superjump to go under the waters surface, Mash Y, press B as your about to get hit by the hoodlum, break your knuckles to press A and X at the same time, kick the R shoulder buttion with your left leg while your upsidedown, eat your neighbours wife and hold a bowl of Sake (you must hold the bowl for the entire duration or else you will get softlocked) while Drunk in order for rayman to bypass the area completely..
Definitely agree that Rayman's copter not spinning means this a hoverless run. And that bit during the final boss was really impressive.
OK, I just finished and my god man, this is probably one of those most insane challenge runs ever posted to UA-cam. HUGE RESPECT. that flying power up section and the boss rock section is pure wizardry. It was worth it mate, this is legendary lol
It’s funny how these challenges always seem to have just one single section that is the hardest thing of all time
'The copter power up is my favourite!'
'You mean the glide walk power up?'
'...what?'
Gotta love the speedrunning / glitching lexicon we get from these videos
Personally, I like to think that the no hovering bit of the challenge comes from Rayman's normal hovering animation, while the "no yellow powerup" rule is more of a bonus challenge.
I love the pure dedication that went into keeping that hair as stationary as possible, even when submerged. Absolutely a great run.
I watched the whole thing in one go, and it's probably one of the best videos I've ever seen to show off all the cool glitches and tricks in R3 - great job! Thanks for the shoutouts!
Very informative too
hi
I realise something but... wouldn't some of the super jump he use be useful for the run? Like that ruflux 3rd phase trick?
Your channel is a great Rayman speedrunning resource!
These runs are brilliant and this is one of the best. Your narration is great as well and really frames how each situation is a puzzle, how you approached and solved it, and the catharsis of success. Seriously, this is what gaming is about at an ontological level.
Your challenge runs are the best I've seen, man. The amount of work you put into these is mindblowing, and the results speak for themselves. The massive super jumps you pulled off here are amazing!
Thank you for your insane amount of patience and your awesome content, this was truly majestic to see my favourite game finished without a single hover (I exclude the leptys one as there is no propelling)
Thank YOU for the Super Thanks! We really appreciate it. :D
@@NGPlusVideos gotcha ♥️
I love it every time he says "We Win!" after he tells the final boss to defeat to beat. It makes him sound pumped!
Amazing job on the challenge run! Rayman 3 was great, a shame we'll never get another one. 39:20 I had so much fun messing around in Photo mode when I was young. I had a whole memory card filled with photos of Rayman 3 and photos of my cars in Gran Turismo 4 😅
I guessed 2 hovers. I've seen challenge runs of Rayman 3 before, but the Gamecube version looks absolutely insane. You must have the patience of a champion to finish this run.
I see it more that the copter helmet is an extra challenge that you’ve failed and the run is still legitimate.
Imagine this challenge happening in the game story. Rayman at the beginning questions how spinning his hair counts as “hovering”, so he proceeds to break the laws of physics and gravity to avoid spinning his hair.
I'm so glad you're continuing this series. The video on Rayman 2 was fantastic.
This one was just as wild.
I can’t get enough of your videos. Thanks for the great content, keep it up 👍
The amount of steps you took JUST to grab that one ledge was pretty insane and had me on the edge of my seat the entire time 😂.
I always love your videos, they keep me entertained during grinding sessions in Flight Rising
This is incredibly impressive, this is hands down my favourite game ever. Loved watching this and well done again this was super interesting!
Man, six HOURS on just one crazy superjump? Major props, this looks like one of the toughest challenge runs I've ever seen.
Keep the challenge runs up! You do some of the best ones online.
My first & funniest experience of this game. Great job!
Such a good video! I love all of your challenges. Rayman 3 is the best Rayman game tbh.
you're such a youtube gem, man, you deserve more subs and views. Also REALLY good explanations of what the heck is going on!
Love the videos! I think you are one of the only channels I have notifs on haha. Also as someone who has NEVER played Rayman, I’m guessing it’s gonna take a solid 2 spins.
This is such an amazing niche, I love the rayman runs you and the other guy who does it records :)
😂😂
You didn’t just avoid the hover, you avoided even the animation, that’s impressive. Fun video
Dude, this is like legendary! Huge respect to you for doing this!
Absolutely magnificent. This kind of glitch exploitation and creative use of mechanics is EXACTLY what I want to see in challenge runs.
You know, I was feeling kinda low before. But seeing this pop up in my recommended has totally cheered me up :) Can't wait to see what happens in this one! Rayman 3 was one of my favourite games back in the day :)
GGs! To be honest, I was expecting we were gonna need at least two hovers if not three! So this end result surpassed my expectations for sure. But my favourite part of this definitely has to be the turtle stacking in the Land of the Livid Dead. From now on I'm just gonna carry two turtles with me everywhere I go in case I need to reach a high ledge someday
Thanks. Couldn't have done it with you 😁
No problem! See you in the Rayman 4 hoverless challange!
@@kobaltskii Giving me the Murphy impression 😅 We got Rayman 1 yet!
@@NGPlusVideos Rayman Rabbids Challenge video confirmed?
the dedication on these playthroughs is damn impressive. Hats off to you.
This was great. I glad to see anyone doing anything with Rayman 3 I played it on OG Xbox years ago
Love the commitment to these types of videos because finding the tricks to do this couldn't have been easy! But amazing work 🙏👍
Omg i cant believe how comitted you are to this series and in how much detail you can explain these glitches. Your videos really are like events to me and i love to see them. Not a lot of challenge runner put that much effort into their videos. I just love your videos. PS: i dont think that super jump glide walk combination was against your rules since as you said there was no hair animation involved even if it would trigger it would be the helicopter so that would again be a gray area so i think you are in the clear.
Man, some of these glitches and strategies are so specific and obscure it is hard to believe anyone could figure this stuff out. Fascinating and entertaining.
You must have the patience of a Buddhist monk. I could never sit there trying to nail a super precise jump for 6 hours. I definitely would give up after the first 30 minutes. 🤣
Love this channel. Keep up the great work!
The ladder part keeps me up at night
Lol, that is such a good comment
waited so long for this. one of my favourite games of all time
best game ever made and my favorite game of all time, so happy to see people still talking about it
Before watching i thought youd just use the same glitch for everything, but the variety of tricks genuinely surprised me. That part where you forced the hoodlum out of the cutscene is just brilliant. Awesome Video
Thank you, I try to find as much variety as possible in these challenge runs 😁
I thought it had to be 2. The tower and just a random one I couldnt guess... but you passed the tower! I expected you to not even consider the swimming hairspin to be out of limits, but you even went out of your way to skip that. You damn well did complete the challenge!
Been dying for someone to make a challenge video on the Rayman series thank you for this 🙌💯
I've just finished watching the whole video. Hats off to you again guys, you rule! Can't wait for the next one!
Alright can I just say hearing NGPlus saying 'we win' is the best thing ever
This is very cool! I don't really use glitches myself, but learned a lot about the game I already thought I master. Good job mate!
Dude, despite what I said earlier, it's pretty clear you're one of the best challenge runners I've ever seen
This is impressive af
What an amazing video! Worth the wait !
Thank you 🔥
Damn, that's an impressive run, nice to see this finally out, especially since I know how much trouble you were having. Well done man!
I'm sure I've said it before but this is a man of focus commitment and sheer will
Have to commend you yet again on the insane effort and patience you put into both the run and the video itself! Always a pleasure to see a video from you pop up on my home page!
you're just playing all my childhood games man! Love it!
I love watching those runs, awesome job!
Rayman 3 was a gem. Thank goodness you were able to preserve his 200X mid-part hairstyle throughout
Halfway to 100k that's crazy keep going y'all got this
One of the first games I recall playing (ironically all the 3rd entry in their respective series). Ahh, the good 'ol days. Keep it up man. My guess is 2 and my hopes are high
I feel like the actual rule became the hair spinning and so in the same way submerged swimming dues count, that particular hoverwalk doesn't.
I've been looking forward to this one, and I was not disappointed!
Major Respect to the work and dedication that goes into these runs! I mean i didnt see his hair spin or the copter spin, if you cant see it doesnt count. Easy hoverless run nicely done!
Great stuff as always! So excited for the next one!
I'm way more invested in the small lava room section near the end of the game than I'm willing to admit.
Ratchet and Clank 1 and 2, Rayman 3... You playing all my favourites
My guess is 3. I've never seen even a screenshot of R3, but I used to play the R2 Dreamcast demo over and over, and the R2 hoverless video was enrapturing. I can't wait to see what you come up with for this game!
30:10 I don't think it's this one in particular, each color of power-up has its own timer, ranging from 3 seconds for the yellow one to 49 seconds for the blue one.
But nitpicking aside, I'm once again impressed by the creativity of the use of R3's various glitches. I legit expected about 10 forced hovers, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I was way off!
The amount of dedication you put through is INSANE. You’re amazing man, just amazing
I thought its gonna be like 5 or 6 but you absolutely smashed the system with a good big 0!
I will never be able to look at Rayman gliding without thinking of his scalp spinning as well
If only there was a way to determine the duration of a hover like there was in yhe spyro runs, then we'd know for sure if the tower was a rule break or not. That being said this is still crazy impressive.
15:36-15:51 that Hoodlum was like "You want sum!?! I'll give it ya!"
Also 19:36-19:40 wth's going on there?
I wouldn’t have even considered the yellow power up as part of hovering and more of a flying power up and not even part of his hair so kudos to you for not using it and making it harder for yourself lol.
My guess was 5. There wasn't any particular reason, but considering Rayman 2's results, I thought it best to go for a low number. I was not expecting what actually happened.
I don't consider the Tower of Leptys to be a hover. As you said, the hair/helicopter doesn't spin, therefore no hover occurs. I've used similar semantics when attempting challenge runs. In Jak 3, I was attempting to complete every mission without guns. There is a tutorial between missions that requires you to fire one, otherwise you can't leave the room. This gun, however, can be charged. The more ammo spent on the charge, the more powerful the shot. By pausing the game during the charge, you can save and load the file before firing the gun. Upon reloading, the ammo is still lost, but the tutorial is over without firing the gun. I feel these are similar scenarios.
Im pretty sure that in the last part with the glide walk, the reason why the copter never goes out is because the game only uses the helicopter animation when you're going up, as it has no animation for actually hovering, until it switches back to normal rayman, who does have the hover animation!
Fun fight: Speedrunning this game involves so many glitches that the Rayman 3 Speedrunning community is called "Rayman '06"
second watch, I watched it yesterday to distract myself from stomach pains but Im sure I missed stuff so time for the next round. Also you explain this madness so well and I absolutly love the details of the characters on the backdrop.
This challenge run was pure gold. The variety of glitches was unbelievable
As someone who has tried to learn the speedrun of this game and mess with those glitches, I must say what an impressive run. Still discovered a ton of things and I know how super jump can be hard, even those "easier" one. Also saw some stuff that could have made it easier. Man I want to try to speedrun this game again.
It's truly tragic we never got another 3d Rayman game.
If we go into camera mode, hold down the button to go into first person mode, quickly exit and reenter camera mode, and then mash the first person mode button, we can almost make it, but we're just short. However, if we use an extended superjump and combo it into a glide walk, then wiggle against the wall while performing a bounce, roll into the level geometry to get some extra height in order to hit a blue powerup, and then use the powerup to perform a reverse double hookjump, we can just barely reach and press the subscribe button.
Never thought about how Rayman's hair doesn't tangle up, I was too busy wondering the same thing about Tails' tails. Does his spine also rotate? Are they cyborg tails?
a challenge video where the person ACTUALLY tries to do the challenge
no stupid jokes, the guy doesnt give up at the minimum problem that isnt colved after 30 minutes of trying, doesnt use very stupid "ok this is TECHNICALLY not hovering, so im going to use it every level!" logic
really a good one
Bro I need more of your content, honestly it's so entertaining. Upload more!
I wish I could 😅 The one I'm working on next is a big one
@@NGPlusVideos ah bro, you're literally the only person that's made me want to watch it on twitch. Honestly keep it up, its really enjoyable content
Man, I'd thought you'd never want to do any hover challenge after that one lava world in Rayman 2 but you seem to be getting some kind of sick satisfaction of those kind of challenges...or you just wanted to complete the Rayman and Spyro triologies.... or you're just out of ideas of other kinds of challenges (don't really believa that ;))...
Really enjoy all of your content, hope for a different genre next time, your FFIX video is my favorite one ;)
Don't have discord, I'm old :)
I feel like whilst people seem to, rightfully, appreciate Rahman 1 these days, 2 and 3 remain criminally underrated. Just really solid 3D platformers that came right at the end of the genres hayday, and incredibly unique art direction to boot.
I mean, earlier I would've accepted the copter as not gliding to begin with. So not triggering the animation in the Tower is doubly not a hair-spin. But it's all semantics I suppose. Well done, NGPlus!
Man, when i was a kid i loved rayman, and rayman 2 was even better, making the jump to 3D and having a much darker story, with robo pirates and cannons and such...
Then rayman 3 dropped, and the natural upgrade from robot pirates with arm cannons to wide-brim-wearin scarecrows with fuckin blunderbusses, on top of smooth polygons, rocked my tiny child brain.
Rayman 3 was the only Rayman I got to play. So it's nice to see it again. However I don't remember half of the game for some reason. I did complete it, but I guess when I kept replaying it I only got up to the areas at 20:00 and probably stopped playing there.
I appreciate all your hard work
My guess, as a developer, as to what ledges are the best for super-jumping is probably ones that are at a right angle relative to global coordinates in the level
Wonderful video as always.
I do have one suggestion: It might be helpful for people to follow along with input explanations if you showed the buttons you are talking about on screen as you are mentioning them.
Thank you. I thought about it, but I remap the buttons for a PS5 controller, so I don't even know the original buttons. I could have looked them up I suppose
@@NGPlusVideos That or you could use generic function icons? Like an Eye for first person and a camera for picture mode. Also just arrows for arrows/directions etc.
I just personally found myself quite quickly loosing track of button sequences just hearing the buttons.
Perfect! Can't wait to see RaC 3!
Sooooon 👀
Superjump's difficulty has the same energy as a speedrunner spending years on getting a trick once.... for 1 second time save
Sat here for the first 10 minutes of the video still thinking about Rayman's spinning scalp
I'm going to guess the minimum amount of hovers is going to be between 0 and infinity.
that is so funny that you can aggro the hoodlum during the cutscene xD just hilarious
You absolute mad man.

Another exciting video to ease my nightly boredom!
Would love to see you do a SotN challenge! Great work as always!
