In today's Miiverse update, producer Masahiro Sakurai revealed the addition of a Rayman themed trophy.
In the past, the tradition would be for Super Smash Bros. games to include trophies based on the included character franchises, or at least from the Nintendo universe. In the Wii U release, there'll be trophies from third-party efforts too, with Rayman included in the line-up. "we were expecting to receive 2D drawing references for Rayman, but to our surprise, they sent us data of a brand new 3D model that they rendered for this game," said Sakurai.
It's currently not known how or if Rayman will be involved beyond trophy form.
