Murfy
editMurfy is a green bottle fly which in Rayman Legends, he was controlled using the Wii U Gamepad which players can zoom ahead and manipulate the level's environment.[1] Nicknamed "The Flying Encyclopedia", he helps Rayman by giving him hints and advice which make him a guide character.[2] He was voiced by Pierre-Alain de Garrigues in Rayman 2: The Great Escape, David Gasman for Rayman M, Billy West for Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc and Douglas Rand for Rayman Origins and outwards.[3]
Murfy first appears in Rayman 2: The Great Escape as a guide character and he will come to the player and repeat his instructions, if the player was standing next to one of the "Stones of Thought."[4] He appears in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc as a guide character who he have "the 411 on the danger enemies, and obstacles [the player] must face" and he was known in the game for his quote "See you in Rayman 4!", while blissfully unaware that it would take eight years for Rayman Origins, the fourth mainline game of the series to be released.[5][6] Murfy appears in Rayman Legends as a playable character for the Wii U Gamepad however, Emile Morel reported on PlayStation Blog that PlayStation versions of the game can't be used to play as him which he said that "The Murfy levels on [PlayStation versions] have been designed to be played with a classic character, such as Rayman or Globox."[7][8]
Game Informer writer Jeff Cork discussed how flexible Murfy can be in Rayman Legends which players can use him to poke or tickle enemies to temporarily stun them which left them vulnerable to the player's attacks. He also discussed that one of his favorite gimmicks was Murfy rotates large wheels that contain spikes and platforms and he also noted an obstacles in a level comes in the form of giant slabs of cake which Murfy has an insatiable appetite, and he crunched paths for the player.[9] GamesRadar+ writer Lucas Sullivan noted that Murfy was the biggest change in the game and he discussed that players who played as him should be cautious and he would made a great addition to the series.[10]
Polygon writer Michael McWhertor described him as "part puzzle solver and part guardian angel" and he discussed that Murfy can burst enemies that looked like flaming ghosts before they could defeat the player.[11] Nintendo World Report writer Neal Ronaghan played as him in Rayman Legends and felt that he is the personification of the Wii U Gamepad. He also discussed that he was sometimes bored during the Boost Mode in New Super Mario Bros. U, however, he was constantly enjoying playing as Murfy in the game, especially during segments where the player have to tilt the GamePad to help the playable characters maneuver through spiked passages.[12]

Rayman (video game)
editRayman Redemption, a fan remake by the Finnish developer Ryemanni, features additional worlds, levels, and minigames. It was released via Game Jolt for Rayman's 25th anniversary. Rayman Redemption received praise from reviewers, with PC Gamer and Kotaku highlighting that the game has an option for casual and masocore players, something they considered a fortune for players traumatised by the original game's difficulty. Kotaku also commended the added content. Retronauts writer Stuart Gipp
