Rayman has been a popular character since his first video game back in 1995, and since then, he's popped up in a total of 45 different games. Rayman Origins was released back in 2011 for the main consoles, and it hearkened back to the classic by being the first original 2D Rayman since the very first game.

The game did remarkably well, and if you've played it, you know why. It features an excellent co-op mode, enabling up to four players to work together across the many puzzles this platformer offers. With adorable characters and interesting creatures, the game offered a lot to a ton of players.

The game features one of the best loading screens ever made for a puzzle-platformer, but it's not just because it's entertaining; it can help you in the next level as well.

Players are dropped into a loading area, which is like a zone in the game, but with a twist.

Players can make a run to collect a heart bottle, and the one who gets it will be treated to an extra life in the next level. Because the bonus is so high for the gameplay, loading screens for Rayman Origins can get insanely competitive, so be prepared to have your controller knocked out of your hand at least once.
