To demonstrate our admiration further please have a listen to the latest piece by RADIANT ELUSION's composer directly inspired by the track ヒロキアタック (Stadium Attack) from the PlayStation 1 classic Ape Escape!

I think this applies to all the mainline Rayman games, as well as Origins and Legends 💁✨ But the aesthetic feel of Rayman 2 is very special. Sort of murky fairytale:esque haha
