<p>Nintendo and Ubisoft might have grown increasingly friendly during the Switch generation, but unfortunately, it’s still not enough for Masahiro Sakurai and his team working on <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a></strong> to include the French publisher’s iconic mascot Rayman in the base version on the game.</p>
<p>Still, with four DLC character slots remaining – anything is possible. That’s why the internet is currently going <em>crazy</em> about a <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/Pouchabaka/status/1126271269492727809">particular tweet</a> that popped up a few days ago on Twitter, suggesting Rayman is frozen within the ice of Ultimate’s Battlefield stage. Take a close look at the screenshots above and below and see if you can spot him.</p>
<figure class="picture strip"><a title="Can you see Rayman?" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/e344b16a1cc19/can-you-see-rayman.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/e344b16a1cc19/can-you-see-rayman.900x.jpg" alt="Can you see Rayman?"></a></figure>
<figure class="picture strip"><a title="How about now?" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/ed61d64050d00/how-about-now.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/ed61d64050d00/how-about-now.900x.jpg" alt="How about now?"></a></figure>
<p>Of course, this has led to wild speculation the limbless mascot will be added to Ultimate as DLC, while others believe it’s a sign the character is <em>literally</em> frozen in the past.</p>
<p>As pointed out by <a class="external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgrEILlYzWE">GameXplain</a>, this texture has been visible since Version 1.0. Not to forget, Rayman is already featured in Ultimate as a spirit and previously appeared as a trophy in <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wiiu/super_smash_bros_for_wii_u">Super Smash Bros. for Wii U</a></strong>. There’s also a history of Smash series hiding textures off the reflections of trophies in both <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wii/super_smash_bros_brawl">Brawl</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/gamecube/super_smash_bros_melee">Melee</a></strong>, so this latest finding could be something similar.</p>
