Overview
The games in the main series have fairly distinct settings (sometimes described as different realms, etc. within Rayman's home world) and plots. Nonetheless, besides the titular hero, several characters (Globox, Murfy, Ly) and themes (freeing magical beings from cages, collecting magical energy, etc.) do appear with some regularity.
Particularly, the universe featured in the original Rayman has largely been left unvisited in subsequent installments, with the exception of cameos including the famous purple lums, small harmless versions of its boss Moskito, etc. Some elements from the original game (e.g. the hunters called Livingstones, the Magician and Betilla the Fairy) are featured in Rayman Origins.
