Michel Ancel, skaparen av Rayman-serien, har i en intervju med Gamasutra berättat att han inte är särskilt förtjust i Nintendos spel, särskilt inte Marios äventyr.
"I will tell you something terrible -- I don't really enjoy playing Mario games. I don't like gliding, I don't like its inertia, and I don't like not being able to give some slaps! It's a fabulous series, and I understand that people love it, but it's not my cup of tea."
Ancel tycker dock spelkontrollen är lite intressant:
"I find Mario's controls very interesting, but I don't buy it. I can't help but seeing the ropes of the game, even if it works."
