The Infinite Tower is a location which appears in Rayman Legends. It is a seemingly endless, continuously sinking vertical structure characterized by its desert-like environment, where the heroes must constantly ascend to survive.
Description
The Infinite Tower features a prominent desert-like aesthetic that takes visual cues from the Desert of Dijiridoos from Rayman Origins. As its name implies, the location consists of a tall, crumbling structure that appears to extend infinitely into the sky. The architecture is composed of sandy stone walls, ancient ruins, and wooden scaffolding. Growing vines and spiky Darkroots frequently sprout throughout the environment, serving as natural hazards. The foundation of the tower is highly unstable, causing the entire structure to constantly sink downwards into the earth.
In Rayman Legends
In Rayman Legends, the Infinite Tower serves as the setting for three specific levels: Quick Sand, Up, Up and Get Away!, and Up, Up and Escape!. It is also prominently featured as one of the recurring environments for the game's Online Challenges.
Gameplay within the tower focuses heavily on verticality and speed. The area does not contain standard enemies; instead, the primary threat is the environment itself. Due to the constant sinking of the structure, it is crucial for the heroes to ensure they remain ahead. A confused or mistimed reaction will often lead to the heroes falling off-screen into the ground and immediately being bubblized. To maintain their ascent, they will find themselves wall-running and jumping frequently.
Darkroots are the most common obstacles and are deliberately placed in areas that force the heroes to jump or manoeuvre carefully around them to avoid taking damage. In order to successfully navigate through the tower, the heroes must be highly dextrous and react quickly to incoming obstacles and newly growing vines.
When featured in Online Challenges, the objectives in the Infinite Tower tend to involve vertical distances, be it climbing as high as possible to survive, or reaching a specific height as fast as possible.

An unused challenge in the style of the Infinite Tower can be found in the game files of Rayman Mini. Loading it into the game will only include the template start and will not generate any bricks or layout variations. It may have been intended for a special event, but was eventually scrapped during development.
