Unlimited Flying Glitch
The Unlimited Flying Glitch, also known as the Ultimate Rayman 2 Glitch, is a glitch that can be performed in some versions of Rayman 2.
Description
The glitch allows Rayman to go into the same state he is put in when using a flying keg, thus allowing him to fly through a level as if he were holding one. Unlike conventional flying with a keg, Rayman can fly in this state indefinitely, there is no burning out that will cause damage to Rayman that will knock him out of this state. The player can still manually have Rayman exit this state by pressing the jump button, this is equivalent to Rayman dropping a flying keg, and causes him to fall downwards. The glitch occurs when a keg is destroyed in mid-flight while Rayman is invulnerable due to taking damage. The reason this happens is because when a keg is destroyed in mid-flight, the keg object is removed and damage is dealt to Rayman which puts him in the "damage" state. However, if the keg is destroyed while Rayman is invulnerable, the keg object is still removed but Rayman is kept in the "flying" state.
In the Menhir Hills
The most commonly known area for the glitch to be performed is in the second phase of the Menhir Hills. All of the prerequisites for the glitch are within close proximity to each other, allowing for the glitch to be performed with ease. To begin, Rayman must fly with a keg, which allows shots from a Henchman to light a keg. Next, he must get another keg and move toward the Henchman 800 on the balcony, and cause it to awaken. Finally, Rayman must throw the keg above him, and allow himself to be shot by the Henchman, then get shot again shortly before catching the keg. If performed correctly, the keg will both light and explode, and Rayman will be in the permanent keg flying state.

In the Tomb of the Ancients
In the Tomb of the Ancients, the glitch is easier to achieve. Rayman must go into the second section of the level and enter the secret area.
Rayman must throw the nearby keg at the wall, take another keg that appears and light it. After lighting it, Rayman must fly into the wall and the keg will be destroyed. Rayman will not take any damage because of the time of invincibility after receiving damage from the first keg.
