Royal. V - It's Still Good To Be The King [Official Gameplay Music Video]

The official music video for "It's still good to be the king", a new song from Royal. V, the original artist behind "It's good to be the king", made for the publicity of the original Rayman 2 back in 1999.

Lyrics:
I said...
Come on everybody
to that magical world
of fairy glades and portholes
or even the isle of doors.
You know where warships
and Robo-Pirates
always get in the way.
You see he flies like a chopper
just by using his ears.

Oh you thought he wasn't coming back
oh yes, he did!
It's... Rayman!
Time to ride again!
With something for the old
and something for the new
It's a new dawn for him
and he's going for the win.

Bouncing all around
like a basketball
from the trees, seas...
he shows no fear!
That little purple guy
you know that thingamajig?
No arms, just hands
shaped like a...
watch him save the world...
Don't stress, double click
'cause surviving Rayman's world
is an everyday risk!

So, what I'm saying is...
Game on, don't trip, get a grip!
He's taking out Robo-Pirates
all the way to the end...

It's still good to be the king!
It's still good to be the king!
You can be sure about one thing!
It's still good to be the king!

Wow, Rayman's world...
A timeless world... still...
Full of magic and excitement...
Endless portholes...
Taking all characters and challenges
to a higher level
constantly surviving...
Yeah... he's still the king!

Yeah, he's so cool!
Are you ready? Let's go!
With more fun and attitude
just doing his thing.
Wears a circle on his chest
like a bulletproof vest!
Time to save the world...
Our hero is back!

Putting it all on the line
watch the reflex time!
Annihilating Admiral Razorbeard's enemy line!
From gold rings to ninjas,
fire balls and streams,
little blue butterflies
moving fast across your screen...

Terminating all the villains and always on the run!
Yo his game plan is strong
so you better hold on!
Rides on a shell and likes to throw plums...
Only Rayman turns nightmares to fun!

Even in a chase he wins the foot race!
He's a king with heart
just playing his part!
Man I love this little guy!
Oh yeah that's right!
Hah... so welcome to the great escape!

It's still good to be the king!
It's still good to be the king!
You can be sure about one thing!
It's still good to be the king!

Gorilla Pirate, Blade...
Reptilian Birds and Spiders...
Hey Jano! Murfy!
I see you up there in that forest!
Rocks and clouds,
Baby Globox and Carmen the Whale...
Clark the Giant...
Keep holding it down...

Rayman! You're the king!

I can just feel the love and fun going into this project, it's really capturing the funky fresh vibe Rayman 2 and 3 both brought!

[alextechnogamer]

All this lovely stuff makes me really want to see further updates regarding any progress of the project in question, let's hope so… 🤩🤞😎

Very excite! Can't wait to hug my homie Globox!

Good work on this. I hope Rayman 2 HD has got the hub world, some new bosses, enemies, unlockable mini-games, and abilities added in it, because I look forward to seeing it being released for the game's 25th anniversary. That's why Rayman 2: The Great Escape HD should add more cutscenes like the story in the Manual Script of Rayman 2 with The Pirate Ships entering to capture and enslave the loving residents of the planet, volunteers entering the area to fight off the warriors, Rayman and Globox enter the forest to battle the pirates, Rayman being interrupted by Ly during the battle and realizing the Heart of the World being broken and his getting captured, Rayman gasping and getting caught by Ninjaws, and attempting to create a new energy sphere, but gasping: Oh no! My powers! What will I do?!, Rayman telling Globox to run and save himself to find Ly, Globox obeying and running off, Rayman meeting Razorbeard and finding someway to escape, Razorbeard saying: You know what? That's good! Now let's have at it! Take him away, Ninjaws!, Globox running to a horse pulling a barge with his wife, Uglette, aboard it, dragging it to a town centre, hopping off to borrow a car with the owners having lunch, driving it to a railroad station, crashing the car, getting out, disguising himself as a hobo, entering the booking office, trying to pay for a ticket, only to realize he has no money, walking away along the platform to meet a train hauled by an American 4-4-0 tender engine No. 78 pulling a yellow mail car, green mail car, an orange mail car, a blue mail car, and a caboose, and being piloted by a driver, fireman, cleaner, shunter, and signalman ready to operate, Globox telling them he's a lonely hobo, losing all his money, not able to get a ticket, and needing to get home tonight, boarding the engine's cabin, driving off with the crew on board the train to help him escape, night falling with the train chugging along with the workers stoking the boiler, opening the furnace, and operating the controls, Globox noticing the five workers leaning over the side of the engine, joining them to see a pursuing Baldwin 2-6-0 tender locomotive No. 87 running light and carrying the pirate pursuers aboard and waving weapons and telling them to stop, kneeling and telling the crew to save him and pretending to be a hobo in disguise, having Uglette, his wife, and 650 kids be his family, having escaped the pirates, who kidnapped Rayman, attempting to speed up, and trying to capture him, but also giving him some chains, bread, water, and, misety for him and Rayman, the engine crew deciding to help him escape, speeding their train, stoking the furnace, running through a long tunnel, shooting out the other side, crossing a viaduct next to the woods, reducing steam, braking hard, sending Globox jumping off the train by leaping out of the engine's cab, diving into the woods, leaving his train to disappear with the pursuing locomotive running in hot pursuit and the motley pirate crew waving some weapons, causing Globox to laugh at the sight of the train chase, entering a hollow tree to find Ly, getting a silver lum from her, walking into Spyglass Pirate's sack, which catches and ties him up, leaving Spyglass Pirate to laugh and drag him to the prison boat, which will take Globox to the prison ship to meet Rayman.

Thank you NewDawnGames, and no thank you, Ubisoft.

The gameplay's really nice, but Rayman flies using his hair. They're not ears.
