I think I know why the barrel ignites! It's to do with pirates throwing flaming barrels.
If this is true, any shooting pirate has the ability to function as a barrel throwing pirate and vice versa. It would also mean that thrown keg=flying keg. Maybe someone could investigate and try to use that to their advantage.
But the thing is that you can't catch those kegs as they explode as soon as they touch you. The flame trails coming from those barrels are different than the ones you can see on the Keg you fly with.
Also, you must be in an area where manual ignition is possible before it works when a pirate shoots at you.
Well, I knew the first paragraph and I tried the second paragraph in the Iron Mts. I couldn't pull it off. The pirates were too smart for me.
As for the third paragraph, it may serve to disprove the second paragraph. You had to ignite the barrel from the specific dispenser before it worked. Barrel-throwing pirates have their own in-built dispenser, which they ignite themselves. This proves to the game that ignition is possible from this "dispenser".
Wait, I think I know why the trails are different. Every ignition has parameters such as what music to start and when to start smoking. The blaster tells the barrel to start smoking immediately and no music to play.
1 - the first small flight triggers an effect which lets the game know that flying with a keg is possible in that area.
2 - catching the keg in a damaged state from an explosion both explodes the barrel for your inability to do anything and ignites it for being similar to the torch, so, in short, the keg is letting you fly, without the keg.
With #2, I think you are right. With further testing I think the reverse however. Keg ignites from the shot, but since the angle is akwad, it blows up mid-flight on the ground or in his hands.
I found that while the Keg does explode, Rayman not being damaged from the blast (since he was already hurt) gets him stuck in the flying state.
Hmmm, I think the game thinks the keg was both caught by Rayman and fell through Rayman, since he lacks substance. The caught part causes the flying, and the falling part makes it explode, so, in theory, that explosion would hurt Rayman if he wasn't already damaged. That would cancel the whole thing if you weren't invincible, so thank temporary invinciblity!
ok I see that it was taken down intentionally. yay about the 100% great maze coming soon. also holy crap my package is taking too long to get to you :(
Ah, yes, I took it down because the video was like... 0.70 slowed or something stupid like that. I tried something with the framerate, but Youtube didn't like it at all. Bah, I'm almost done trying 60fps.
Also ss9417, it DOES work in the Caves. It's just a hell of a lot trickier to pull off (or maybe it's another DC bonus). I might be able to pull it off out of bounds but I'll have to try it again later.
You can do the same glitch ojn the 3ds two but you cant go out the boundreys and the sucks eggs

Oh, I SO hope this is also possible in Rayman Revolution!!
(Maybe they optomized the code, so that it's not possible anymore, but I really hope they didn't! =P)
Ah, well, even if it doesn't work in Revolution, I still have the PC version to try it out with!

does that mean you could skip the cave of bad dreams completely?

It might be possible though I haven't tried it with a new game yet.
Something tells me it should work and go to the third part of the Hills, but only if you manage to fly through the correct walls.

Here's how I decifer this craziness.
1 - the first small flight triggers an effect which lets the game know that flying with a keg is possible in that area.
2 - catching the keg in a damaged state from an explosion both explodes the barrel for your inability to do anything and ignites it for being similar to the torch, so, in short, the keg is letting you fly, without the keg.

#1 is probably absolutely correct.

This is a video response to the same glitch working on the N64.
Confirmed: PC, DS, PS2 Doesn't seem to work but not 100% checked. I don't know about PS1.

Wait a sec, i forgot it works on revolution in menhier hills but only for a second.
ss9417 3 years ago
Only for a second? What do you mean?
I'll try the caves myself but I'm curious to see how it work in revolution.
Saestrol 3 years ago
By just for a second i mean rayman says "GO!"
then immediatly lets go of the (ivisible) barrel.
ss9417 3 years ago
I tried it on revolution, it seems they prevented that from happening...
