This leak was initially shared on 4Chan, where fans have been combing through its contents to play the test levels and ideas, according to boards GBATemp and ResetEra. Other discoveries include missing sequences and a model of Rayman’s girlfriend, who was supposed to make her debut in this game. Some joked that the leak was a “Christmas miracle” because of its timely release, while others hoped that the game might be stitched together in a coherent manner like the Duke Nukem Forever 2001 Restoration Project.
Rayman fans have been offered a bone this year, with the disclosure of this source code and the announcement of Rayman DLC for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. While some are pleased that the character will be the centre of this DLC, others believe that the Rayman series, rather than an extension to an existing game, is overdue for a genuine revival with a new game.
