It was discovered in 11 April 2014 that existed a silver coloured and golden coloured variants of the "[[Rayman]] sitting on a [[plum]]" figure. Whoever was getting the silver figure, he/she would be awarded with a PC copy of ''[[Rayman 2|Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and whoever was getting the golden figure, he/she would be awarded with a top-range computer along with the PC copy of ''[[Rayman 2|Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]". This contest was described in the Happy Meal bags, that contained and a ''[[Rayman 2]]'' artwork of [http://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/File:Menhir_Hills.jpg Rayman riding a Walking Shell]. If a person was getting a Happy Meal bag with [[Rayman]] blinking an eye in the artwork, he/she would get a power card with tips and tricks of ''[[Rayman 2|Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.

*''[[Ly]] the [[fairy]] with a [[Silver Lum]]'': This figure measures (approximately) 9,5cms of height, 4,5 cm of length and 6 cm of width. [[Ly]]'s arms can be moved up or down, but if the right arm is moved up, the transparent globe in her legs will glow into red.
*''[[Globox]]'': This figure measures (approximately) 9 cm of height, 4,5 cm of length and 8 cm of width. [[Globox]]'s arms can be moved up or down.

This plush is known to have been sold in the United Kingdom, France and in Spain during the ''[[Rayman 3|Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'''s release.

Different versions of the plush have different facial expressions: the small and large versions show [[Rayman]] with an angry expression while the medium version shows [[Rayman]] with a more neutral expression.

Oddly enough, the cloth tag at the rear end of the plush bears the ''Rayman 3'' logo, yet the only feature that is based on the style in said game is the red hood - the rest of the plush's features are based on the ''Rayman 2'' design.

They are believed to have been distributed by [http://www.pbpes.es/company.html Play By Play] (a plush toy company based in Spain) as prizes for games at amusement parks and travelling fairs, according to the tag attached to the underside of the shell.

2D Nightmare

2026-02-07T19:52:46Z

RibShark: Added mention of new cheat that unlocks the minigame without a GBA

[[File:2D Nightmare.png|320px|right|thumb|2D Nightmare.]]

{{Quote|text=When [[Rayman]] was younger, [[Rayman 1|he only had two dimensions]].|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

'''2D Nightmare''' is the last of the three minigames that are exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. It was intended to unlock upon connecting a Game Boy Advance to the GameCube, running a copy of ''[[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Rayman 3]]'' with all levels completed. However, due to a programming error, the game does not see the final level, [[Heart of the Ancients]], as complete, making it impossible to unlock the minigame without cheating.

2D Nightmare is a flashback to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] in the same style as [[2D Madness]]. 2D Nightmare, however, takes place in [[Picture City]], whereas [[2D Madness]] takes place in [[the Dream Forest]]. Extensive use of the [[Throttle Copter]] power-up makes it reminiscent of the second section of [[Pencil Pentathlon]], in which the [[super helicopter]] power was used.

==Unlocking 2D Nightmare==
In 2003, a screenshot of 2D Nightmare was posted in an official [[RaymanZone]] gallery; when the forums were deleted, the image was lost and the minigame's existence was called into dispute. In November 2010, the screenshot was finally located. Inspections of the files on the disc of the PC version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' confirmed 2D Nightmare's existence and name, and revealed that it had once been planned for inclusion in the other versions of the game, along with a [[chess minigame]] and [[Xowar minigame|another minigame]] in which the player controls a [[Xowar]] that is chasing [[Rayman]]. The existence of 2D Nightmare was further supported by the presence of a 12th minigame slot at the bottom of the minigame menu in the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

In the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', [[2D Madness]] is unlocked by connecting the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] with every [[cage]] broken. In the other console and PC versions of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', it is unlocked by earning a certain number of points in-game. 2D Nightmare was originally thought to be unlocked by connecting a 100%-complete GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a 100%-complete [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. Efforts to contact [[Ubisoft]] regarding 2D Nightmare were made, but produced no constructive responses. In December 2011, a method of unlocking 2D Nightmare was finally discovered using external game modifiers, such as Action Replay codes, on the GameCube version.

Eventually it was found on March 30, 2016 that the game is supposed to unlock when every level in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] is completed. Unfortunately, the variable tracking the number of completed levels is not incremented after [[Heart of the Ancients|the final level]] is completed, meaning that it never reaches the value that the GameCube version expects in order to unlock the minigame. The minigame can therefore be unlocked by raising the variable manually in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] through a cheat program. On March 23, 2023, a [[List of cheats in Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|cheat code]] was found in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] that marks every level in the game as complete, including [[Heart of the Ancients|the final level]]. Entering this code will allow 2D Nightmare to be unlocked once connected to the GameCube version, marking the first time in the over 20 years since the release of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that the minigame has been unlocked without any modifications or cheating devices. On February 7, 2026, a [[List of cheats in Rayman 3#Unlock_all_bonus_levels_and_bonus_videos|cheat code]] was found in the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that unlocks all bonus levels, including 2D Nightmare, meaning the minigame can be played without needing any external hardware.

Two other GameCube-exclusive ''[[Rayman 3]]'' minigames exist. [[Mad Trax]] is a two-player kart-racing game, in which one player, controlling [[Rayman]] with the GameCube controller, races around an area in a similar fashion to the game's [[Crazy Shoe]] sections, collecting [[Jewel|gems]], and the other player, controlling [[Globox]], arranges the race-track by playing a ''Tetris''-like game on the connected Game Boy Advance. The other minigame, [[Wheelis]], is similar, but it involves four players; two controlling [[Rayman]] and [[Gumsi]] in [[Crazy Shoe]]s, and two playing the ''Tetris''-like game on the Game Boy Advances. Both [[Mad Trax]] and [[Wheelis]] have been unlocked successfully by obtaining enough points in the GameCube version.

===Action Replay codes (GameCube version)===
====NTSC====
005D8950 0000000C

====PAL====
005D7E70 0000000C

After entering the code, load any saved game and the minigame will appear in the Bonus menu.

Rayman (cancelled prototype)

2025-09-03T17:30:13Z

RibShark: Added new discoveries and images from the "Video Games You Will Never Play" article

*''This article is about the cancelled SNES build of the game. For the early production of the final game, see [[Rayman (early production)]].''

[[File:Jimmy.jpg|thumb|320px|right|A section from a preview booklet for [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]] describing the earliest known plot from the SNES version about Jimmy becoming [[Rayman]].]]

Over the years, a considerable amount of information regarding the earliest development stage of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] has been unveiled, through the featured ''Pix 'N Love'' article about a Super Nintendo Entertainment System version of [[Rayman 1|the game]], from [[Michel Ancel]] himself, and an [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)#Dumped ROM|early dumped ROM of the version]].

==Plot==
At the beginning of its development, [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] had a very different plot. This prototype version followed Jimmy, a boy who created a world on his computer called Hereitscool. When Hereitscool becomes infected with a virus, Jimmy enters his virtual world and takes on the persona of [[Rayman]] in order to defeat the virus.

==''Pix 'N Love'' article==
[[File:Rayman-snes.jpg|thumb|500px|right|An extract from ''Pix’N Love'''s article about the cancelled SNES version of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], featuring three screenshots.]]

On the 4th of July 2010, French retro-gaming magazine ''Pix’N Love'' revealed that, at the very beginning of its development, [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] was intended to be released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The magazine also contained an interview with [[Rayman]] creator [[Michel Ancel]] on the subject. This version of the game featured a two-player co-operative mode, in which one player controlled [[Rayman]] and the other player controlled what appears to be a female version of [[Rayman]], not dissimilar from the girlfriend character [[Simohne]] once planned to appear in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|Rayman Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. [[Rayman]]'s body is red rather than the purple used in [[Rayman 1|the final game]], and the girl's body is blue. Both characters look considerably bulkier than [[Rayman]]'s final appearance. Three screenshots of the prototype (visible to the right) are currently available, and they show early versions of [[the Dream Forest]] and [[the Caves of Skops]]. One image shows the heroes battling against an early version of [[Mr Skops]]. There are glimpses of what appear to be early versions of [[Antitoon]]s, [[plum]]s, [[flying ring]]s, [[Ting]]s, [[mushroom]]s, [[Big Power]]s and the [[telescopic fist]].

One of the screenshots shows a heads-up display which is completely different from the one used in [[Rayman 1|the final game]] or either of [[Rayman (early production)|the Atari Jaguar prototypes]]. This display shows both characters' heads, each with their own ‘Shield’ and ‘Power’ status indicated by bars. [[Rayman]]'s section of the display shows a picture of a pink crystal with the name ‘[[Mr Skops|Skops]]’ above it, and the girl's section of the display shows a question mark where the crystal can be displayed. The ‘Shield’ bar appears to indicate the characters' health, but the function of the ‘Power’ bar and the crystals remains unknown.

[[File:Rayman-1-SNES-3.jpg|thumb|320px|A photograph of a previously unseen environment from the SNES version of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].]]

With the advent of more powerful, optical disc-based games systems, the SNES version of ''Rayman'', though nearing completion, was cancelled. The game was reworked for the newer platforms, and became the ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' which is known today.

=="Video Games You Will Never Play" article==
On the 30th of August 2016, Unseen64 released a compendium of articles about unreleased games in their book "Video Games You Will Never Play". In the article about the cancelled SNES version of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], further details about the game and its story were revealed. The character of Rayman was revealed to have been developed by Jimmy's uncle Professor Hendrix, and in the midst of a storm, lightning struck Jimmy's house transforming him into Rayman through the AC power socket, which also gave Rayman his signature circle on his clothing. It was also revealed that this iteration of the game was originally a solo project by [[Michel Ancel]] for the Atari ST, before moving to the SNES CD addon after he was joined by Frédéric Houde. Four screenshots of the SNES version were included with the article.

==Answers from [[Michel Ancel]]==
During a live stream of ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', [[Michel Ancel]] replied to a question concerning the SNES version of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]. He stated that he was only in a team of two at the time the Super Nintendo version was being made, and that he was 'super excited', it being the first platform he'd ever worked on directly. It was painful and extensive procedure to build the game onto the cartridge though, and since he eventually got the full team together, the Super Nintendo couldn't do it justice.

On the 18th of October 2016, [[Michel Ancel]] posted two partial screenshots from the SNES version of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], confirming that the game was never completed and adding that it was lost forever.<ref>Instagram, @michelancel, https://www.instagram.com/p/BLt6dsUgODo/, « Pixel lovers ... Did this 25 years ago , the game was playable on the Super nintendo console but was never finished + We've lost the build . All these pixels are lost , like tears in the rain ... »</ref> However, on the 23rd he announced that a cartridge containing an early version of the game from this stage of development was found by [[Frédéric Houde]], this cartridge was stated to have been from 1992,<ref>Instagram, @michelancel, https://www.instagram.com/p/BL5fSliA2bD/, « Incroyable !!!! We have found the old unique Rayman SNES ROM !!!! It was sleeping for 24 years ..... Time to wake it up !!!! »</ref><ref>Instagram, @michelancel, https://www.instagram.com/p/BL_wNhGALF8/ « Rayman SNES in motion . The little ugly guy is alive after a 24 years night . This ROM might be the first one we burnt and contains very few stuff . We might find more ROM with other early prototypes .

He then posted a photograph of a previously unseen world contained in the game.<ref>Instagram, @michelancel, https://www.instagram.com/p/BL5f5XIAfa5/, « It's working !!!! 4 people in the world have seen this . We thought it was lost , but somewhere in the cold electronic circuit , something was still alive . and running at full 60fps !!! should do a Switch version of this 😂 »</ref> [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]] later revealed that at this stage, the game initially took place in a computer, with [[Rayman]] being one of its employees, the main villain at this point was intended to be a computer virus.<ref>Instagram, @michelancel, https://www.instagram.com/p/BL_wNhGALF8, « You're right ! Original game was taking place in a computer and the big villain was a computer virus . Rayman was just an employee in this big computer »</ref>

==Dumped ROM==
On the 3rd of July 2017, an early ROM was dumped<ref>Twitter, @ocornut, https://twitter.com/ocornut/status/881876378056085505, « I've dumped a prototype demo of unreleased Rayman for SNES, here it is! (NB: very early dev build, not a full game) »</ref> with a short gameplay segment as previously shown by [[Michel Ancel]]. In the ROM, the player can jump and trigger animations, which will also automatically start if the player does not move. The player can also move faster and start an animation with a charging [[Telescopic fist|fist]].

List of Rayman demos

2025-07-03T11:15:55Z

RibShark: /* Rayman 2 */ SLED-03050 EU demo confirmed to exist and match

What follows is a '''list of every ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' demo''' available and the content they include.

The list does not include developer builds (like prototypes) and unpublic demos (like press demos). Repeated names are in fact different demos.

'''(?)''' means that this disc includes an existing but unchecked demo.

*'''Availability:'''
** Japanese DemoDemo PlayStation Vol. 3
*'''Content:'''
** [[The Dream Forest]] (single unknown level)
** [[Blue Mountains]] (single unknown level)
*'''Notable differences:'''
** The world map is the same as from the Atari Jaguar beta version with an [[Electoon]] moving on the map. There is also a point on the [[Floating present|giant, floating present]], although it can't be accessed.
** In the files, [[Band Land]] is referred to as Chromatic Skies and [[Picture City]] as Image City—almost literal translations of the original French names ''Le Ciel Chromatique'' and ''La Cité des Images''.
** Early loading screen images are used. The one for the [[Blue Mountains]] shows [[Mr Stone]] throwing the boulder at [[Rayman]].
** Early sequenced music is used.
** When falling from high places [[Rayman]] will appear stunned.
** The [[Life|lives]] counter displays a single digit.
** Rather than getting [[Electoon]] markers on a [[Cage|medallion]] upon breaking a [[cage]] the player now has to collect the [[Electoon]]s from it with a separate counter being available for that, replacing the [[ting]]s.
** The [[Big Power]]s use an incorrect palette for parts of their animation.

Hi folks!

Thanks for playing my demo ! But remember, you've only seen a very small part of the whole game.

If you want to finish the dream forest, scale the blue mountains, rock through band land, and take a peek at picture city ... not to mention getting the evil mr dark and his cronies in candy chateau... then get your hands on a copy of the full version of rayman.

It is available now at stores everywhere.

** [[Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1)|Spellbound Forest]] (level exclusive to the Flash demo)
*'''Notable differences:'''
** The demo starts with a short tutorial, telling the player how to play and instructing them to free [[Rayman]]'s friends, who are depicted as [[bat]]s.
** The game features a unique Game Boy Color interface, with control instructions being provided to the player if they hover their mouse cursor over the buttons.
** The Flash demo takes place in a short unique level set in the [[Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1)|Spellbound Forest]] where the player is tasked to rescue a friendly [[bat]] from a [[cage]].
** The demo controls differently and [[Rayman]] starts with the [[helicopter]] power. [[Rayman]]'s animations appear changed as well.
** The music is a short loop of the [[Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1)|Spellbound Forest]]'s music.
** [[Rayman]] starts with one extra [[life]], but cannot get a game over even with no [[life]] left.
** [[Rayman]] can only take damage by falling from the vine or the tree, or by jumping into the tree while on the ground, which subtracts two [[heart]]s from his health. This damage can be prevented by pressing down while on the bottom of the vine.
** [[Rayman]] will retain his current damage if losing a [[life]] from drowning.
** [[Rayman]]'s hair will keep spinning while climbing if the player performs the [[helicopter]] at the same time as touching the vine.
** There are no items besides a single [[cage]]. Breaking it and saving the [[bat]] ends the demo.
** The [[cage]] is added to the tally by punching it once, despite being unbroken. It cannot be further increased, even if the player resets the [[cage]]'s health by moving far enough.
** [[Rayman]] has a victory animation for rescuing the [[bat]], which can be combined to other animations such as climbing, jumping or the [[helicopter]].
** In the files, various unused assets can be found, such as an alternate map of the level featuring a bigger tree and different vine, unique screens and animations, and a [[Ting]] tally going up to 3 with numbers above 1 being painted in red.

*'''Notable differences:'''
** [[The Hall of Doors]] uses the French name "Mapmonde".
** The heads-up display can't by triggered to show by pressing "J".
** The total amount of [[cage]]s show 0 instead of 7 like in the final version. [[Cage]]s can however still be broken and will result in it showing 1/0 etc.
** [[Rayman]] falls into the level after the [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] animation in the first demo, instead of afterwards like in [[Rayman 2|the final version]].
** [[Rayman]] starts with the upgraded [[Magic fist|fist]] from [[the Canopy]].
** The glowing effects when [[Magic fist|shooting]] and collecting [[Lum]]s is white rather than yellow.
** No sounds.

Talk:Electric Final

2024-11-29T20:12:26Z

RibShark:

I propose making a new page for the PlayStation version, Electric Tunnel. I think that it is distinct enough, being practically a completely different track with its own name, to create a separate article for it. What do you think? - [[User:Fussilli|Fussilli]] ([[User talk:Fussilli|talk]]) 11:37, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
:This might be a good idea; what do those levels even have in common in the first place? —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 15:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
::Literally only the aesthetic and one part of the race, that has been transferred from the PC and PlayStation 2 version without major changes. Electric Tunnel is in 75% a completely different map. - [[User:Fussilli|Fussilli]] ([[User talk:Fussilli|talk]]) 21:02, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
:::I think a split makes sense, then. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 16:36, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
::::I don't know that I agree, the track, while more modified than some others, is still pretty close to the Rayman M version. Everything from the jump up to the slide section to the where the piston section is in M is pretty much the same between the two, while the stuff between the piston section and the slide was heavily simplified in Rush. We don't split Rayman 2 levels when the PS1 version simplifies some parts of them, so I don't see why we should do so here.

List of Rayman demos

2024-08-30T14:19:38Z

RibShark: /* PC */ Added all numbered Rayman 3 demos from Quick/Kalas Puffar

What follows is a '''list of every ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' demo''' available and the content they include.

The list does not include developer builds (like prototypes) and unpublic demos (like press demos). Repeated names are in fact different demos.

'''(?)''' means that this disc includes an existing but unchecked demo.

== Sony PlayStation ==
=== ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' ===
*'''Availability:'''
** Japanese DemoDemo PlayStation Vol. 3
*'''Content:'''
** [[The Dream Forest]] (single unknown level)
** [[Blue Mountains]] (single unknown level)
*'''Notable differences:'''
** The world map is the same as from the Atari Jaguar beta version with an [[Electoon]] moving on the map. There is also a point on the [[Floating present|giant, floating present]], although it can't be accessed.
** In the files, [[Band Land]] is referred to as Chromatic Skies and [[Picture City]] as Image City—almost literal translations of the original French names ''Le Ciel Chromatique'' and ''La Cité des Images''.
** Early loading screen images are used. The one for the [[Blue Mountains]] shows [[Mr Stone]] throwing the boulder at [[Rayman]].
** Early sequenced music is used.
** When falling from high places [[Rayman]] will appear stunned.
** The [[Life|lives]] counter displays a single digit.
** Rather than getting [[Electoon]] markers on a [[medallion]] upon breaking a [[cage]] the player now has to collect the [[Electoon]]s from it with a separate counter being available for that, replacing the [[ting]]s.
** The [[Big Power]]s use an incorrect palette for parts of their animation.

Hi folks!

Thanks for playing my demo ! But remember, you've only seen a very small part of the whole game.

If you want to finish the dream forest, scale the blue mountains, rock through band land, and take a peek at picture city ... not to mention getting the evil mr dark and his cronies in candy chateau... then get your hands on a copy of the full version of rayman.

It is available now at stores everywhere.

** [[Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1)|Spellbound Forest]] (level exclusive to the Flash demo)
*'''Notable differences:'''
** The demo starts with a short tutorial, telling the player how to play and instructing them to free [[Rayman]]'s friends, who are depicted as [[bat]]s.
** The game features a unique Game Boy Color interface, with control instructions being provided to the player if they hover their mouse cursor over the buttons.
** The Flash demo takes place in a short unique level set in the [[Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1)|Spellbound Forest]] where the player is tasked to rescue a friendly [[bat]] from a [[cage]].
** The demo controls differently and [[Rayman]] starts with the [[helicopter]] power. [[Rayman]]'s animations appear changed as well.
** The music is a short loop of the [[Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1)|Spellbound Forest]]'s music.
** [[Rayman]] starts with one extra [[life]], but cannot get a game over even with no [[life]] left.
** [[Rayman]] can only take damage by falling from the vine or the tree, or by jumping into the tree while on the ground, which subtracts two [[heart]]s from his health. This damage can be prevented by pressing down while on the bottom of the vine.
** [[Rayman]] will retain his current damage if losing a [[life]] from drowning.
** [[Rayman]]'s hair will keep spinning while climbing if the player performs the [[helicopter]] at the same time as touching the vine.
** There are no items besides a single [[cage]]. Breaking it and saving the [[bat]] ends the demo.
** The [[cage]] is added to the tally by punching it once, despite being unbroken. It cannot be further increased, even if the player resets the [[cage]]'s health by moving far enough.
** [[Rayman]] has a victory animation for rescuing the [[bat]], which can be combined to other animations such as climbing, jumping or the [[helicopter]].
** In the files, various unused assets can be found, such as an alternate map of the level featuring a bigger tree and different vine, unique screens and animations, and a [[Ting]] tally going up to 3 with numbers above 1 being painted in red.

Talk:Rayman: The Animated Series

2024-03-02T17:37:52Z

RibShark:

== My Fair Lac-Mac ==

To the anon that was editing this article, where did you get this episode name from? Also please don't space out the lines in the lists, they look fine as it is. -- [[Image:RayHead.gif]] [[User:Staceyw|StaceyW]] 12:42, 10 July 2008 (CEST)

I believe that episode name is correct. There used to be a few clips of rough animation from it up on a UbiSoft animator's personal website. Unfortunately I don't have that site information any more, but I remember seeing it quite a few years ago. Rayman and his friends apparently were going to see a play or some other kind of live show and ran into Grub at the theatre.

It would be great if those clips could be located - I don't remember the animator's name, but I think he was French-Canadian.
(Rayfan, Aug 21/2008)

* First off, awesome to see you here Rayfan. Really? If so then that'll definitely confirm the existence of this episode. I suppose this animator is neither of the ones on Youtube and DeviantART, so we may have to look all of them up and find their websites and portfolios etc. Thanks for this. -- [[Image:RayHead.gif]] [[User:Staceyw|StaceyW]] 00:40, 22 August 2008 (CEST)

I know where it is. Find the link at TRP's fansite, there's this guy who has a few unfinished pictures of the episode.
As for finding TRP's site, it may be at Matthias Franke's links. - [[User:Kelvin12|Kelvin12]] 2:05, 06 August 2009
: Is this it? The links are 404'd though. http://emilio3dgraphics.50megs.com/animation_Rayman.htm -- [[Image:RKartHead.gif]] '''[[User:Staceyw|StaceyW]] ♬''' 09:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

== Protection from unregistered users ==

I've semi protected this article now because I kept seeing an edit war from anons solely on the voice casts sections and other almost useless bits. If you wish to continue editing, then you'll have to make an account now.

Thank you. -- [[Image:RKartHead.gif]] '''[[User:Staceyw|StaceyW]] ♬''' 19:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

== Sources ==

I have one question, where I can find some source of this? ''"Although it was planned to be a full 13-episode series that was meant to be aired on TV worldwide the following year, the series was cancelled and only four episodes were produced, presumably due to poor writing and lack of funds despite being funded by the government of Quebec, Canada"'' {{Unsigned|Zutheskunk|00:29, 28 July 2009‎ (CEST)}}

The thing about government funding came from an old magazine from back in 1999, the other part was said by a lighting director who has a deviantART account - http://comments.deviantart.com/1/75184119/637852257 {{Unsigned|Cairnie| 13:01, 28 July 2009‎ (CEST)}}

== Verify changes ==
Can someone please verify that the changes made by Pierrelp are accurate? --[[File:Carrot signature.png|75px|link=User:Carrot-master]] 19:59, 3 February 2019 (CET)

:The changes concern the French cast, which was a copy past from Wikipedia if I remember correctly.
:A change removes Patrick Guillemin from the cast... which is pretty correct. After all these years, I've never noticed that his name isn't in the credits. But since Razorbeard's voice is similar to Guillemin's one, I've never questioned that.
:For the other changes, or else this Pierrelp has found official details about the French cast, or else he has a good ear for recognize French dubbing actors, and he wanted to add some corrections.
:I can't say if all the changes are accurate, but Philippe Bozo as Razorbeard could work, I've heard Bozo's voice in other medias, and it looks like Razorbeard's voice in the animated series.
:The changes for Michel Elias don't surprise me neither. He is clearly Grub's voice, but I've always find it odd that he was also identified as Rigatoni's and Cookie's voice. --[[User:Boomboleros7|Boomboleros7]] 02:50, 4 February 2019 (CET)

The series was [https://web.archive.org/web/20001207195900/http://www.ubisoft.fr:80/societe/press/institutionnel/comsociete_98.html presented at MILIA '98] on February 10, 1998 in a conference titled [https://web.archive.org/web/19980121083453fw_/http://www.milia.com/Conf/tableau.htm Partnership Forum: Towards the Convergence of Cartoon Animation and Interactive Entertainment]. Also, the second episode (pilot) was presented at Annecy '99 (as indicated in the press kit pdf): https://www.annecy.org/about/archives/1999/official-selection/film-index:film-990227

A number of secondary sources, such as ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'' (page 152), [https://web.archive.org/web/20090816172410/https://www.destructoid.com/from-the-console-to-the-tv-station-part-5-144112.phtml Destructoid] and [https://www.jeuxvideo.com/dossiers/00018309/la-serie-rayman-rayman-la-serie-animee-016.htm Jeuxvideo.com], mention plans for the series to span across 13 episodes, and not 26, just like this article has stated since [https://raymanpc.com/wiki/script-en/index.php?title=Rayman:_The_Animated_Series&diff=1799&oldid=1798 June 5 2008] and until RayCarrot changed it a few days ago. However, they also contain various other elements from this article, and since they were written after this information was added to RayWiki, I think this is (yet) another case of [https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=26296 citogenesis]. Every primary source and any other source that predates the writing of this article cites 26 episodes, so we will be sticking to this figure for now, but please come forward if we're missing anything. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 17:01, 2 March 2024 (CET)

My understanding was that there were 13 sets of paired episodes (similar to how shows like SpongeBob did it), making for 26 in total. [[User:Ribshark|Ribshark]] ([[User talk:Ribshark|talk]]) 18:37, 2 March 2024 (CET)

'''''Rayman: The Animated Series''''' was a computer-animated TV programme based on the [[Rayman]] video games series. It was produced in 1999 as an accompaniment to the release of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' in the same year. Although it was planned to be a full 13-episode series that was meant to be aired on TV worldwide the following year, the series was cancelled and only four episodes were produced, presumably due to poor writing and lack of funds, despite being funded by the government of Quebec, Canada, and they were aired in very few countries in Europe, notably France, Germany (in which it was aired on Super RTL) and the Netherlands.

==Plot==
[[Rayman]] had already been captured by [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and is being held at [[Rigatoni]]'s circus - a giant tent which floats from one location to another, where he is forced to do circus tricks. After being thrown in the dungeons, he soon meets four other prisoners, [[Betina]], [[Cookie]], [[Flips]] and [[Lac-Mac]], who is the star of the circus show and therefore [[Rigatoni]]'s favorite prisoner, and plans their escape. When they do escape, they end up on the run in the vast forest city of [[Aeropolis]], where [[Inspector Grub]] is pursuing them under the orders of [[Rigatoni]].

Although very rare, the ''Rayman: The Animated Series'' is available on VHS and DVD. An English VHS was released in the United States and Australia, a French one can be found in France and Belgium, and a German one was bundled alongside some copies of ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. A DVD is also available, but only in France. Though the text on the cover is in French, the English and German versions are included as well as the French version. Some French copies of ''[[Rayman 2|Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' on PC also contain the series on the same disc. An Australian release of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' also claims to include the series on the disc, but this is not the case.

The goal of the game is to find all [[Lum]]s, avoiding obstacles, avoiding monsters and [[Bad Rayman]].

2D Nightmare

2023-03-25T00:31:22Z

RibShark: /* Unlocking 2D Nightmare */ split a sentence because of run on commas

[[Image:2D Nightmare.png|320px|right|thumb|2D Nightmare.]]

{{quote|text=When [[Rayman]] was younger, [[Rayman 1|he only had two dimensions]].|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

'''2D Nightmare''' is the last of the three minigames that are exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. It was intended to unlock upon connecting a Game Boy Advance to the GameCube, running a copy of [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|''Rayman 3'']] with all levels completed. However, due to a programming error, the game does not see the final level, [[Heart of the Ancients]], as complete, making it impossible to unlock the minigame without cheating.

2D Nightmare is a flashback to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] in the same style as [[2D Madness]]. 2D Nightmare, however, takes place in [[Picture City]], whereas [[2D Madness]] takes place in [[the Dream Forest]]. Extensive use of the [[Throttle Copter]] power-up makes it reminiscent of the second section of [[Pencil Pentathlon]], in which the [[super helicopter]] power was used.

==Unlocking 2D Nightmare==
In 2003, a screenshot of 2D Nightmare was posted in an official [[RaymanZone]] gallery; when the forums were deleted, the image was lost and the minigame's existence was called into dispute. In November 2010, the screenshot was finally located. Inspections of the files on the disc of the PC version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' confirmed 2D Nightmare's existence and name, and revealed that it had once been planned for inclusion in the other versions of the game, along with a [[chess minigame]] and a minigame in which the player controls a [[Xowar]] that is chasing [[Rayman]]. The existence of 2D Nightmare was further supported by the presence of a 12th minigame slot at the bottom of the minigame menu in the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

In the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', [[2D Madness]] is unlocked by connecting the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] with every [[cage]] broken. In the other console and PC versions of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', it is unlocked by earning a certain number of points in-game. 2D Nightmare was originally thought to be unlocked by connecting a 100%-complete GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a 100%-complete [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. Efforts to contact [[Ubisoft]] regarding 2D Nightmare were made, but produced no constructive responses. In December 2011, a method of unlocking 2D Nightmare was finally discovered using external game modifiers, such as Action Replay codes, on the GameCube version.

Eventually it was found on March 30th, 2016 that the game is supposed to unlock when every level in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] is completed. Unfortunately, the variable tracking the number of completed levels is not incremented after [[Heart of the Ancients|the final level]] is completed, meaning that it never reaches the value that the GameCube version expects in order to unlock the minigame. The minigame can therefore be unlocked by raising the variable manually in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] through a cheat program. On March 23rd, 2022, a cheat code was found in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] that marks every level in the game as complete, including [[Heart of the Ancients|the final level]]. Entering this code will allow 2D Nightmare to be unlocked once connected to the GameCube version, marking the first time in the over 20 years since the release of [[Rayman 3]] that the minigame has been unlocked without any modifications or cheating devices.

Two other GameCube-exclusive ''[[Rayman 3]]'' minigames exist. [[Mad Trax]] is a two-player kart-racing game, in which one player, controlling [[Rayman]] with the GameCube controller, races around an area in a similar fashion to the game's [[Crazy Shoe]] sections, collecting [[Jewel|gems]], and the other player, controlling [[Globox]], arranges the race-track by playing a ''Tetris''-like game on the connected Game Boy Advance. The other minigame, [[Wheelis]], is similar, but it involves four players; two controlling [[Rayman]] and [[Gumsi]] in [[Crazy Shoe]]s, and two playing the ''Tetris''-like game on the Game Boy Advances. Both [[Mad Trax]] and [[Wheelis]] have been unlocked successfully by obtaining enough points in the GameCube version.

===Action Replay Codes (GameCube version)===

====NTSC====
005D8950 0000000C

====PAL====
005D7E70 0000000C

After entering the code, load any saved game and the minigame will appear in the Bonus menu.

Maybe it would be best to remove the top bar with the Ubisoft logo from the boxart? It just seems to take up space and not all of the boxes have it anyway. {{Unsigned|Ribshark|14:36, 26 September 2016‎}}
: Now that this is revealed as a prototype box art with some differences to the final, I think it would be better to restore the top bar so that the box appears as it is presented in the press kit, as that is the context in which this image will be used [[User:Ribshark|Ribshark]] ([[User talk:Ribshark|talk]]) 07:04, 6 November 2022 (CET)

Rayman 2 (early production)

2022-11-06T03:39:07Z

RibShark: /* Screenshots (PC) */ Added prototype PC cover found in the press kit

*''This article is about the early production of the 3D build of the game. For the original 2D prototype, see [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)]].''

''[[Rayman 2]]'' underwent a bunch of changes during its development, most which have been found through hacking and from old trailers.

==''Rayman's training''==
[[File:Rayman training.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A screenshot of ''[[Rayman's training]]'', showcasing [[Rayman]]'s earlier 3D model.]]

''Main article: [[Rayman's training]]''

Before proper development of the 3D game began, a CGI short film using the concepts from the 2D game was created by the name of ''[[Rayman's training]]''. The short film stars [[Rayman]] battling a living punching bag. It premiered in February 1st, 1998 to the tradeshow/film festival Imagina 1998. After that, it has never been seen in its entirety since.

In various ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' adverts from 1997 to 1998, there were several instances of "stock footage" of a CGI [[Rayman]], and the most complete instance of this would be the E3 1998 trailer to ''[[Rayman 2]]''. For two decades, no one had known where this footage had come from exactly; it was assumed that they were made for the trailer.

In early 2021, it was put together by a number of Twitter users that the pre-rendered scenes in the E3 1998 trailer were actually from ''[[Rayman's training]]''. The short was considered lost media until March 12 2022, when a version of the video with no sound was uploaded to YouTube.

Judging by the content of the PC version, the cutscene in [[the Prison Ship]] where [[Rayman]] frees the prisoners, which first appeared in the Dreamcast version, was originally meant to appear in the PC and Nintendo 64 versions.

In 2018 it was discovered that the PlayStation version contains a reference to a level by the name [[the Walk of Bravery]], which was meant to appear between [[the Echoing Caves]] and [[the Precipice]].

The PC version also has leftovers from several unused levels, being the following:
* Learn_20
* Whale_20
* Astro_20
* Wipe_10
* morbide_tst

There was also originally meant to be a connection between [[the Fairy Glade]] and [[the Echoing Caves]] in the Hall of Doors <ref>YouTube, ''Rayman 2: Mysteries of the Hall of Doors'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJQcHip4tDE</ref>.

== Early names ==
Below is a list of all of the currently known early names for levels, locations and characters.

* The [[Technical Check-up]] - originally the Emission Control station
* The [[Teensie]]s - originally Smallbeeings
* [[Polokus]] - originally Polochus
* [[The Marshes of Awakening]] - originally the Marshes of the Awakening and the Marshlands of Awakening
* [[The Fairy Glade]] - originally the Fairy's Glade (the early name is used in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'')
* [[The Canopy]] - originally the Wilderness
* [[The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] - originally the Sanctuary of Lava and Fire
* [[The Precipice]] - originally the Great Rift
* [[The Top of the World]] - originally the Roof of the World
* [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] - originally the Sanctuary of Rock and Stone and the Sanctuary of Earth and Stone
* [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] - originally beneath the Sanctuary of Earth and Stone

== Early plot ==
In early versions of the story from various sources, there are mentions of an interglactic circus or zoo as one of the main elements of the plot:

* In an interview with Pauline Jacquey and [[Michel Ancel]], it is mentioned that the [[Robo-Pirate]]s intended to sell the inhabitants they capture to an inter-galactic circus.<ref>''Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Interview with Pauline Jacquey & Michel Ancel'', [[:File:Rayman 2 Interview 1999.pdf]]</ref>
* In a press release from May 13, 1999, the game is described as "an adventure to rescue [[Rayman]]’s friends from an intergalactic circus".<ref>''Ubi Soft’s beloved Rayman sells record-breaking 4.2 million copies!'', [[:File:Rayman 1999 4 Million Copies.pdf]]</ref>
* In a ''[[Rayman 2]]'' pre-order form that could be obtained from the ''[[Rayman Activity Centre|Rayman Activity Center]]'' box (and also from one of the PC demos<ref>Rayman Pirate-Community discussion forums, ''Rayman 2'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1438733#p1438733</ref>), it is mentioned that: "The Mysterious Guild considers [[Rayman]] to be the ideal specimen to display in its intergalactic zoo of rare species". The text also mentions that [[Rayman]]'s friends became the target of "Operation Kidnap", "the Guild's plan to fill its zoo with the universe's peace-loving residents". Similar information appeared in the official ''[[Rayman 2]]'' website, however the "intergalactic zoo" was replaced with an "intergalactic circus".<ref>Official ''Rayman 2'' website, https://web.archive.org/web/20000525161633/http://www.rayman2.com/fr/bad/rayman2_txt.html</ref>
* In an interview with [[Ubisoft]] (by the IGN staff), it is mentioned that the mysterious guild recruited the [[Robo-Pirate]]s to capture rare species from [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's planet]] and create an intergalactic zoo.<ref>IGN, ''An Interview with Ubi Soft'', https://www.ign.com/articles/1998/05/28/an-interview-with-ubi-soft</ref> However, in another part of the official ''[[Rayman 2]]'' website, a text can be found that describes the Mysterious Guild and the [[Robo-Pirate]]s as one single entity, that intended to sell the inhabitants of [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's planet]] to an intergalactic circus.<ref>Official ''Rayman 2'' website, https://web.archive.org/web/20000610224227/http://www.rayman2.com/fr/good/rayman2_txt_fs.html</ref>
* In the back cover of the first edition of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]]'', the following text is displayed prominently: "There's more than one way out of this circus!".
* The intergalactic circus was also mentioned in magazines<ref>Club Nintendo, No. 09, pg. 61, [[:File:R2-Scan-1.png]]</ref> and even in box art from one of the first canadian releases of the game.<ref>Rayman Pirate-Community discussion forums, ''Rayman 2'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1369362#p1369362</ref>

== Miscellaneous ==
The cheat code "GETELIX" is mentioned along with the other known cheat codes in the PC version, but it appears to be unused. It was most likely meant to give the player the [[Elixir of Life]] before entering [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].

==Unused textures==
Many textures which were later used in the PlayStation version can also be found in the files for the PC version suggestion they were originally meant to be included there as well. These include the textures for [[Antitoon]]s and the stone with [[Ly]]'s face. Textures from the Dreamcast version were found as well, such as the textures for [[Eig]]. Some leftovers, such as controller icons, where found from the Nintendo 64 version.

==[[List of Rayman demos|Demo]]==
There were two different [[List of Rayman demos|demos]] made for ''[[Rayman 2]]'', both of them including two parts from [[the Fairy Glade]].
[[File:R2 Demo.png|thumb|320px|The pause menu in the [[List of Rayman demos|demo]].]]

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_HAsjQRA3-kRTdhLXpEbnlxWHM/view?usp=sharing Demo 2]

Although the [[List of Rayman demos|demos]] are very similar and include the same levels, there are some minor differences.

=== Differences from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' ===
*[[Rayman]] falls into the level after the [[Robo-Pirate]] animation in the first [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], instead of afterwards like in the final version.
*The total amount of [[cage]]s show 0 in the first [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], instead of 7 like in the final version. [[Cage]]s can however still be broken and will result in it showing 1/0 etc.
*The heads-up display can't by triggered to show by pressing "J".
*The transparency doesn't work on all textures.
*[[Rayman]] starts with the upgraded [[Magic fist|fist]] from [[the Canopy]].
*[[The Hall of Doors]] uses the French name "Mapmonde".

''Rayman 2'' introduced many brand-new major characters, though it featured almost none from its predecessor. ''Rayman 2'' was first released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and PC. It was followed by ports for the Sega Dreamcast and Sony PlayStation in 2000. Each version is different in its own way due to the specifications of each platform.

''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' is often abbreviated as '''''Rayman 2''''' or (to avoid confusion with the similarly named ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'') '''''R2'''''. The [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|Sony PlayStation version]] of ''Rayman 2'' was later released as a PSOne Classic on the North American PlayStation Network, on December 18, 2008. On March 1, 2010 and March 25, 2011, two versions based on the Dreamcast incarnation of the game were released; one for the [[Rayman 2 (iOS)|iOS]] devices, and a similar version for the Nintendo 3DS, under the title ''[[Rayman 3D]]''. The PC version joined ''[[Rayman Forever]]'' on the digital distribution service [http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/rayman_2_the_great_escape Good Old Games] on the 27th of May, 2011.

==Plot==
===The beginning===
Set in [[the Glade of Dreams]], ''Rayman 2'' begins shortly after [[Rayman]] is captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. Details from the opening sequence and manual explain how [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]] had come under attack by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, having historically destroyed over one hundred planets prior to their invasion. They attacked with the intent of enslaving [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]'s inhabitants, and were battled against by [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and other allies. After [[Report N° 20Z|some battles]], [[Rayman]]'s capture occurs after the explosion of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]]. [[Ly]] the Fairy telepathically communicates with [[Rayman]] explaining the consequences of the damage, with [[The Heart of the World|the Core]]'s shattering into 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s, and the capture of many fighters. [[Rayman]]'s powers are also lost due to this, and he finds himself captured by [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirates]], and calls on [[Globox]] to flee and find [[Ly]].

After the opening sequence, it is revealed that [[Globox]] was captured by [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirates]], and reunites with [[Rayman]] aboard the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirate]]'s [[The Prison Ship|Prison Ship]]. Having fallen to despair, [[Rayman]]'s hopes are restored when [[Globox]] gives [[Rayman]] a [[Silver Lum]] given to him by [[Ly]]. The [[Silver Lum]] gives [[Rayman]] the ability to [[Magic fist|shoot with his fist]], which [[Rayman]] uses to destroy a nearby vent, and escape with [[Globox]]. The two become separated after falling from [[Buccaneer|the ship]], and [[Rayman]] eventually finds himself in [[the Woods of Light]].

====Finding [[Ly]]====
[[Rayman]] decides the best course of action is to find [[Ly]], and travels through [[The Woods of Light|the Woods]]. He comes across [[Murfy]], who serves as [[Rayman]]'s guide throughout the game, and three [[baby Globox]]es. [[Rayman]] sadly informs them of his separation with [[Globox]], much to the [[Baby Globox|babies]]' dismay. [[Rayman]] promises that he can find them, but stresses his need to find [[Ly]], the [[Baby Globox|babies]] then inform [[Rayman]] that [[Ly]] had been taken deeper into [[The Woods of Light|the Woods]] by the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]. Traversing deeper, [[Rayman]] frees the [[Grand Minimus]] [[Teensie]]s locked in a [[cage]] at the end of the area. After bickering amongst themselves about who among them is their King, they tell [[Rayman]] of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]]'s locking of [[Ly]] in a stronghold within [[the Fairy Glade]]. They will allow [[Rayman]] access to [[the Hall of Doors]] ([[the Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|3DS]] versions), for the cost of all the [[Yellow Lum]]s contained within [[The Woods of Light|the Wood]]. Once collected, a [[Grand Minimus]] creates a [[Spiral Door]], and [[Rayman]] exits the area through it.

Using [[The Hall of Doors|the Hall]], [[Rayman]] traverses to [[the Fairy Glade]], and makes his way to the Pirate Stronghold. It is here where [[Rayman]] first encounters [[Robo-Pirate]]s since his capture, and the first time a player must combat them. Eventually, [[Rayman]] finds where [[Ly]] is held, in an energy prison powered by a machine within a nearby chamber. [[Rayman]] destroys the machines, freeing [[Ly]]. [[Rayman]] tells [[Ly]] of his separation with [[Globox]], and his loss of powers. [[Ly]] is unable to restore [[Rayman]]'s powers, however, due to the explosion of [[The Heart of the World|the Primordial Core]]. [[Ly]] then tells [[Rayman]] of the [[Four Masks of Polokus]], through which [[Polokus]] can be awakened, and whose power is sufficient to destroy the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]. [[Ly]] finally gives [[Rayman]] the power to swing on [[Purple Lum]]s, allowing [[Rayman]] to progress further. [[Rayman]] then sets out to collect the [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]], exiting [[The Fairy Glade|the Glade]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The first mask]]===
====[[The Marshlands]]====
[[File:R2TGE PC-Sssssam.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] freeing [[Ssssam]] in [[the Marshes of Awakening]].]]
[[Rayman]] next finds himself in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], where he frees [[Ssssam]] the Watersnake. While [[Ssssam]] is unable to aid [[Rayman]] in locating the [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks of Polokus]], he does know where the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]] took [[Globox]], and aids [[Rayman]] in crossing [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marsh]] by allowing him to water-ski across. There is also a side-path that the player may go through, where they will encounter [[Jano]], who is guarding a [[Spiral Door]]. At this point in time, he will refuse access to the door, as [[Rayman]] does not know where it leads, which is the requirement for passing through.

The next level is [[the Bayou]], a similar swampy location that [[Rayman]] must traverse on foot. [[Admiral Razorbeard]] is concerned by [[Rayman]]'s progress, and despatches several [[Warship]]s to destroy him. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] eats a [[Yellow Lum]], reducing the number of extant [[Yellow Lum]]s from 1000 to 999. At the beginning of the level is a side-path where [[Rayman]] can find a hologram of [[Ly]] the Fairy. If he has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, she will teleport him to a side-level called [[the Walk of Life]]. Although [[the Bayou]] is beset with [[Robo-Pirate]] [[Warship]]s and dangerous obstacles such as [[helicopter bomb]]s, [[Rayman]] makes it through the area unscathed.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]]====
[[Rayman]] approaches the entrance to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], the location in which the first of the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] is contained. He reunites with the [[Grand Minimus]], who inform him that he will not be allowed to enter without collecting a specific amount of [[Yellow Lum]]s, a requirement that is repeated in the entrances for the three other locations of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the masks]]. Once he has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, [[Rayman]] is able to enter, and after fighting past some [[Robo-Pirate]] soldiers, and solving the puzzle to enter [[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]], he finds himself inside. Within [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]], [[Rayman]] encounters the guardian of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first Mask]]; [[Axel]]. Using a chain of [[Purple Lum]]s to swing across the battle area, and dodging icicle projectiles thrown by [[Axel]], [[Rayman]] eventually triumphs over the guardian by causing an icicle to dislodge and impale [[Axel]]'s head.

With [[Axel]] dispatched, [[Rayman]] obtains [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]], which teleports him to the realm where [[Polokus]] slumbers. [[Polokus]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on his find, but urges him to move forward in his quest and collect [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]]. He then creates a [[Spiral Door]] to take [[Rayman]] back to [[the Hall of Doors]], allowing [[Rayman]] to continue.

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The second mask]]===
====Healing [[Clark]]====
[[File:Rayman meets Clark.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] meets [[Clark]] in [[the Menhir Hills]].]]
Beginning the search for [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]], [[Rayman]] finds himself in [[the Menhir Hills]], where he learns to tame and ride [[walking shell]]s. Moving further in, [[Rayman]] meets with [[Clark]] the Giant in the [[Elite Troop Training Center]], who has become ill after accidentally swallowing a [[Robo-Pirate]] part during a battle. He asks [[Rayman]] to retrieve the [[Elixir of Life]] from [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], and stresses to [[Rayman]] that he needs to remember the name in order to enter.

[[Rayman]] then returns to [[the Marshes of Awakening]], where [[Jano]] now allows [[Rayman]] to enter the [[Spiral Door]]. [[Rayman]] is hypnotised by [[Jano]] and then transported to [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], and is challenged to find the treasures within before [[Jano]] can catch him. [[Jano]] eventually meets with [[Rayman]] as he nears the treasure trove and gives chase, leading [[Rayman]] into a large corridor where he must avoid [[Jano]]'s attacks and use the skulls he emits to progress through. Eventually, he makes it to the treasure, where [[Jano]] congratulates [[Rayman]], and offers it to him. The player is then given the choice to accept or decline [[Jano]]'s offer, accepting will lead to a short cutscene depicting an overweight [[Rayman]] lounging on a small island, and an alleged "end" to the game. The cutscene ends by cutting back to the choice. Declining the offer will cause [[Rayman]] to be returned to the Marshes, and [[Jano]] will reward [[Rayman]] with the [[Elixir of Life]] for making the right choice and not succumbing to greed.

[[Rayman]] then returns to [[the Menhir Hills]], and gives the [[Elixir of Life|Elixir]] to [[Clark]]. [[Clark]] is reinvigorated, and helps [[Rayman]] progress further through the facility. [[Rayman]] then parts ways with [[Clark]] at the exit of the facility, and finally leaves [[the Menhir Hills]] via a [[walking shell]].

====Freeing [[Globox]] and [[Carmen]]====
[[Rayman]] reunites with [[Globox]] from within [[the Canopy]], which, true to its name, takes place within the higher levels of a deep forest. [[Rayman]] frees [[Globox]] from imprisonment by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s operating within the area, and [[Globox]] aids [[Rayman]] in traversing through the area, using his [[Rain Dance|rain-dance]] to destroy [[laser]] barriers or grow fauna that can aid [[Rayman]] in progressing. [[Globox]] also reveals that he received another [[Silver Lum]], which gives [[Rayman]] the ability to charge his [[magic fist]], greatly enhancing his offensive capabilities. After fighting past a [[Warship]] and tricking a [[Robo-Pirate]] into opening the exit by hiding within a bush, [[Rayman]] is able to leave the area. [[Globox]] remains behind, stating that his spouse, [[Uglette]], wishes to see him.

The next level is [[Whale Bay]], a watery location infested by [[Robo-Pirate]]s and [[piranha]]s. The benevolent whale, [[Carmen]], has been imprisoned in a [[laser]] cage by the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]], who plan to use her blubber to oil the engines of the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. [[Rayman]] frees her, and she releases [[air bubble]]s that allow him to accompany her underwater. Unfortunately the local [[piranha]]s want to steal the [[Air bubble|bubbles]] to ease their heartburn, so [[Rayman]] must frighten them off with his [[magic fist]] so that he can continue to breathe. Eventually [[Rayman]] completes his underwater passage and comes to the end of the level.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]]====
The next level is [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], the second of the game's Sanctuaries. This is a long and labyrinthine level, filled with secret passages, wrong turns and optional areas, including an entire temple that has no discernible purpose. [[Rayman]] spends a great deal of time on [[plum]]s, which can be used to cross the many lakes of lava. Eventually [[Rayman]] comes to a chamber containing a large blocky stone statue: this is [[Umber]], the guardian of [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. Unlike [[Axel]], [[Umber]] is pacifistic; he allows [[Rayman]] to stand on his head while he walks across a pool of lava, taking [[Rayman]] to the final chamber. It is shaped much the same as the chamber in which [[Rayman]] found [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]], with a raised platform on which sits a stone container. [[Rayman's symbol]] once again connects to the stone; it slides open, and [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]] emerges. [[Rayman]] takes it and once again is transported to [[Polokus]]'s domain. The god congratulates [[Rayman]], takes [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]], affixes it to his stone, and sends [[Rayman]] back to [[the Hall of Doors]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The third mask]]===
====Making Progress====
[[File:TheTopoftheWorldPC.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] arriving at [[the Top of the World]].]]
Now making his way to [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]], [[Rayman]] arrives at [[the Echoing Caves]], after activating four [[switch]]es in a non-linear area, he enters the caves themselves. Due to the large amounts of toxic liquid within the caves, [[Rayman]] lights [[keg]]s, and uses them to fly across the caves to solid footing. [[Rayman]] may also encounter an entryway, leading him into a secret area within [[the Fairy Glade]], where he can break a [[cage]] that cannot be broken by normal visit. [[Rayman]] returns and finally exits [[the Echoing Caves]], with a [[Warship]] flying in the background, preluding the events of the next area.

[[Admiral Razorbeard]] learns of [[Rayman]]'s progress, and has [[Warship]]s sent to stop him. [[Rayman]] encounters and must flee the [[Warship]]s from within [[the Precipice]], a mountainous region that can succumb to flooding, and can contain vast caverns within. [[Rayman]] is able to elude the [[Warship]]s, and moves on to [[the Top of the World]]. The area contains a [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]] Fort, but it cannot be accessed via conventional means, as such, [[Rayman]] rides upon a [[Rollercoaster Challenge|rollercoaster-esque]] transport, dodging obstacles that are within the path of the coaster, which can cause [[Rayman]] to despawn. Making it into the Fortress, [[Rayman]] fights past many [[Barrel Pirate]]s, and eventually exits the area.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]]====
Much like the prior [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]], [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]] is contained within a Sanctuary, this one being [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. [[Rayman]] finds himself in a marshy area, which he must traverse through in order to reach [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary]] itself. Within the marshy area is the entrance to [[the Walk of Power]], a [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]] that can be accessed if the player has obtained enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, much like [[the Walk of Life]]. After traversing through the marshes, [[Rayman]] finds himself within [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary]] itself, and progresses forward. However, [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] is not located within the area, and [[Rayman]] heads [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|beneath the Sanctuary]] instead.

[[Ly]] meets with [[Rayman]] beneath the Sanctuary, and tells [[Rayman]] that she has gathered enough energy to grant him the [[Super helicopter]] ability, allowing him to fly as opposed to simply gliding with his hair. She informs [[Rayman]] that traversing through the area will be difficult, and tells him to use the [[Super helicopter]] to move through the area. Using this ability, [[Rayman]] is able to reach the end of the area, where he encounters [[Foutch]]. [[Foutch]] promptly hits [[Rayman]], causing him to lose the [[Super helicopter]] power, and fall. [[Rayman]] finds footing within a circular pathway, and is chased by [[Foutch]], who wishes to burn [[Rayman]] by throwing flames at him. [[Rayman]] is able to use spiderwebs to bounce high enough to reach stalactites positioned in bridges above the pathway. These stalactites will impale [[Foutch]] when shot at, allowing [[Rayman]] to triumph over the guardian. A [[Purple Lum]] then appears, allowing [[Rayman]] to reach the bridges, which lead to [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]]. [[Rayman]] is transported to [[Polokus]] and gives [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]] to him, and [[Polokus]] creates a [[Spiral Door]] to allow [[Rayman]] to move on and locate [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth and final mask]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The fourth mask]]===
====Reuniting with [[Clark]]====
[[File:Spyglass Pirate controlling Clark.jpg|320px|thumb|right|The [[Spyglass pirate]] forces [[Clark]] to attack [[Rayman]].]]
[[Rayman]] next enters the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], where a sign alerts the player to the capture of [[Clark]] and his imprisonment in the [[Technical Check-up]], which is located within the area. The [[Tomb of the Ancients]] is notable for having secret passages, with one leading to the [[1000th Yellow Lum]], another allowing the player to skip through a large section of the level, and another that can only be legitimately accessed in the Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS version]] of the game, nicknamed the [[Tomb of the Ancients secret]]. Once the player has reached the end of the level, it is revealed that the [[Robo-Pirate]]s have been able to bring [[Clark]] under their control using a device implanted into his back. The [[Spyglass Pirate]] is shown demonstrating his control over [[Clark]], before control is returned to the player, who must break the device. Once the device is broken, [[Clark]] lifts [[Rayman]] high enough to break the [[cage]] containing the [[Teensie]] to exit the level, and consequently exits the area.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]]====
Finally, [[Rayman]] makes it to [[the Iron Mountains]], where he traverses through various [[Robo-Pirate]] installations contained within the area. The area itself contains areas of differing themes, including swamps, rapids, an island and finally some [[Pirate Mines|mines]]. During his travels in the area, he comes across the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]], guarded by a [[Robot Dinosaur]]. [[Rayman]] infiltrates the facility and frees the captive [[baby Globox]]es within, before using a [[walking shell]] to reach the mines.

Within the mines, [[Rayman]] encounters [[Uglette]], who is in despair over the loss of her [[Baby Globox|babies]], who are being used as labour in the [[Pirate Mines|mines]], and [[Globox]], who in the defense of their [[Baby Globox|babies]] has been captured and sent to the [[Buccaneer|Pirate's Prison Ship]]. [[Rayman]] calms [[Uglette]] and promises to free [[Baby Globox|her children]], making use of a nearby [[Warship]] to travel to each mine and to allow the [[Baby Globox|babies]] to leave. Once he has visited all the mines, [[Rayman]] returns and reunites the [[Baby Globox|babies]] with [[Uglette]]. [[Uglette]] and [[Baby Globox|her children]] then board the [[Warship]] to leave, but one of [[Baby Globox|the children]] passes off [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] to [[Rayman]], stating that they had found it within the [[Pirate Mines|mines]]. [[Rayman]] says his goodbyes to the [[Globox]] family, and departs to [[Polokus]].

[[Polokus]] congratulates [[Rayman]], takes [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] and attaches it to the remaining side of his four-sides stone column. The stone begins to spin rapidly, blurring until it is transfigured into a transparent, glowing portal. [[Polokus]] tells [[Rayman]] that, now that he has been awakened, he can destroy all of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s in [[the Glade of Dreams]], but says that he has no power in the air – [[Rayman]] himself must confront [[Admiral Razorbeard]] on board the flying ''[[Buccaneer]]''. [[Rayman]] steps into [[Polokus]]'s portal; his health is increased to maximum, and he is transported to [[the Hall of Doors]].

===The ending===
====Infiltrating [[the Prison Ship]]====
A [[The General|Salesman]] visits [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], and pitches the [[Grolgoth]] as the solution to the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]]'s problem with [[Rayman]]. After some consideration, [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] accepts the [[Grolgoth]], setting the circumstances for the final confrontation with [[Rayman]]. In the meantime, [[Rayman]] infiltrates [[the Prison Ship]], the largest of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]] Vessels and fortress in its own right. [[Rayman]] initially finds himself sliding through floors and tunnels within the bowels of the ship, but is able to acquire a [[flying shell]], which he uses to progress even further through the ships' interior chambers.

In most versions, excluding those based off the PC and Nintendo 64, a cutscene will play once the level is completed for the first time. It shows [[Rayman]] freeing the captives within [[the Prison Ship]], who are then urged to leave, while [[Rayman]] makes his final approach to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] himself.

====The Final Battle====
[[File:TheCrowsNestPC.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] battling [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in the [[Grolgoth]].]]
The [[Spyglass Pirate]] gives his final update on [[Rayman]]'s progress to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], informing him of [[Rayman]]'s success in freeing their captives, and his infiltration of the ship. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] punishes [[Spyglass Pirate|the Spyglass]] for his failure, having him swim in molten lava, but not before preparing the [[Grolgoth]] to fight [[Rayman]]. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] has the [[Grolgoth]] set up in [[the Crow's Nest]] of [[the Prison Ship]], and lures [[Rayman]] to him by having the captured [[Globox]] as the [[Grolgoth]]'s first target. [[Rayman]] arrives at the nest to defend [[Globox]], but [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] shoots down the structure holding [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] in place. [[Rayman]] is able to grab the ledge of [[the Crow's Nest]], and climbs up, unharmed. [[Globox]] is left dangling on the side of [[the Crow's Nest]], but assures [[Rayman]] that he is fine, and to go fight [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]].

The fight against the [[Grolgoth]] has two phases, the initial phase has [[Rayman]] dodge various attacks from the [[Grolgoth]], but knock back the [[helicopter bomb]]s it produces to trip the machine up. This continues until the [[Grolgoth]] has tripped thrice, after which [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] attempts to crush [[Rayman]] by jumping onto him with the [[Grolgoth]]. The attack fails, and [[the Crow's Nest]] collapsing, causing both the [[Grolgoth]] and [[Rayman]] to fall into a lava filled chamber. [[Rayman]] is saved from falling into the lava due to a [[Silver Lum]] that [[Ly]] generated from afar. The [[Silver Lum|Lum]] guides [[Rayman]] to a safe platform, in which [[Rayman]] is able to mount a [[flying shell]]. [[Ly]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on his performance thus far, and informs him of the complete defeat of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s on [[the Glade of Dreams]], tasking [[Rayman]] to complete their victory by defeating [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]. [[Rayman]] then sees that the [[Grolgoth]] has survived the fall also, and the second phase of the battle commences. In this phase, [[Rayman]] uses the [[flying shell]] to manoeuvre round a chamber, or tunnel in the PlayStation version. [[Rayman]] is able to shoot down the [[Grolgoth]], using ammunition scattered within the chamber, in the PlayStation version, he instead causes [[helicopter bomb]]s and homing missiles to deflect back to the [[Grolgoth]], damaging it.

====Victory====
Eventually, the [[Grolgoth]] is rendered inoperative, and [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] flees the ship, but not before setting off a self-destruct within the [[Grolgoth]], which causes [[the Prison Ship]] to detonate and be destroyed, with [[Rayman]] still inside.

[[Rayman]]'s friends assume that [[Rayman]] has fallen. [[Ly]] the Fairy, [[Clark]], [[Murfy]], the [[Grand Minimus]], [[Globox]], [[Polokus]], [[Uglette]] and three [[baby Globox]]es, all gather in [[Polokus]]'s domain for a memorial service. They could only recover [[Rayman]]'s [[Crazy Shoe|left shoe]], however, the [[Crazy Shoe|shoe]] suddenly appears to react to an oncoming presence, as a limping, one-footed [[Rayman]] emerges from the woods nearby, much to the joy of everyone present. His [[Crazy Shoe|shoe]] rejoins his body and he looks up at all his friends, last of all [[Ly]], while hugging the [[baby Globox]]es. Fireworks are launched in celebration, and a message is displayed congratulating [[Rayman]] on his feats. The harmony of [[the Glade of Dreams]] has been restored and [[the Heart of the World]] has been pieced back together. The game ends with the message, ‘Now rest, you may have to fight again. Who knows what tomorrow will bring...’, referencing the next game, ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The end credits sequence shows [[Admiral Razorbeard]]'s escape pod fleeing through the depths of space.

===2D Game===
''Main article: [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)]]''

''Rayman 2'' was first developed to be a 2D sidescrolling platform game similar to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and was planned to be released on the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.<ref>Unseen64.com, ''Rayman 2 [2D version - Unreleased]'', http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/11/rayman2-2d-cancelled</ref> Screenshots, videos and interviews indicate that the game would still involve an invasion of robots from space. The game featured enemies similar to the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and it also featured background platforming - using a device similar to a shower head and a toilet flush, [[Rayman]] could teleport from the foreground to the background (and vice-versa). One video in particular also featured [[Betilla]] the Fairy, and showed her imprisoned in a cell.

This 2D game was cancelled in favour of the 3D version it became, though a playable prototype (version 01.12d) featuring one level is included in the [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']], and is unlocked if the player collects at least 720 [[Yellow Lum]]s out of the version's total 800. It was discovered that this prototype was last worked on on May 31, 1996 and was sent to the ''PlayStation RayMan 2 team'' so that they could incorporate one of its levels into their version of the game.

===''Rayman's training''===
''Main article: [[Rayman's training]]''

[[File:Rayman training.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A screenshot of ''[[Rayman's training]]'', showcasing [[Rayman]]'s original 3D model.]]

In-between the development of the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D game]] and the 3D game, a CGI short film for the game titled ''[[Rayman's training]]'' was created in 1998 and subsequently premiered in February 1st for Imagina 1998, following a trailer for ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''. ''[[Rayman's training]]'' is notable for being the "missing link" between the two stages of ''Rayman 2'''s development, and is known for clips of it being used in the 1998 E3 trailer for the 3D game. Characters from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype]] appear in the short, along with [[Rayman]] having a older 3D model in use. Not much is known about the short's plot, and it has not been released in any form.

''[[Rayman's training]]'' was considered lost media until March 12 2022, when a version of the video with no sound was uploaded to YouTube. Until then, only clips of the short film were seen scattered across various ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' ephemera from 1997 - 1998.

===3D game===
''Main article: [[Rayman 2 (early production)]]''
Not much is currently known about [[Rayman 2 (early production)|the development of the 3D game]] that eventually became the final ''Rayman 2'', however, from pre-release screenshots and footage, it is clear that level designs underwent significant evolution, and the HUD was at one point drastically different to the HUD seen in the final game. Recent texture hacking led to the discovery of more pre-release elements, textures for a third red coloured [[Magic Sphere]] and its pyramid base were located, it is unknown why these textures went unused and where the objects they represented were meant to be placed. Despite not being used in the game itself, they can be made to replace the other used colourations via texture hacking.

A lot of changes have also been seen in early trailer and interviews for the game. At one point [[Purple Lum]]s were going to have a completely different design resembling the other [[Lum]]s seen in the game.<ref>YouTube.com, Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn_UYduONuA</ref> A video showing an early version of the Nintendo 64 version reveals an unused area most likely located in [[the Prison Ship]]. It closely resembles the alternative path that can be taken in the same level to fill up [[Rayman]]'s health.<ref>YouTube.com, Unused area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCZ10RrA_5Q</ref> Other trailers show more open levels suggesting ''Rayman 2'' was at one point going to go in a more non-linear direction.<ref>YouTube.com, Early trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KujjiLYaW8</ref>

==Gameplay==
[[File:R2 Lum.png|320px|thumb|right|[[Yellow Lum]]s are the main item in the game.]]

The gameplay in ''Rayman 2'' is similar to that of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], translated into a 3D world. Most of the gameplay consists of running, jumping, climbing, gliding and flying between platforms and other surfaces, interspersed with battle sequences with [[Robo-Pirate]]s and other enemies. A new element of gameplay is [[swimming]], which is present in some of the levels.

Contrary to [[Rayman 1|the original game]], this time [[Rayman]] starts with a few powers, such as [[helicopter]]ing and a basic attack power, which is given to him by [[Globox]] who is introduced at the very beginning. Additional powers, some permanent and others temporary, are unlocked during the natural course of the game, similarly to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].

The aim of the game is to defeat [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and his [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and, by doing so, restore order to the world. Along the way, [[Rayman]] will locate and reassemble [[Yellow Lum]]s that have been scattered following the explosion of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]], and rescue creatures that have been imprisoned in [[cage]]s. However, unlike in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], ''Rayman 2'' has no strict requirement to obtain all [[Yellow Lum]]s/[[cage]]s to finish the game, probably in order to make the game less difficult. A certain number of [[Yellow Lum]]s is required to advance past specific points, but this number is typically substantially lower than the number of [[Yellow Lum]]s available prior to that, and is easily obtainable during normal play. Some [[cage]]s are also obligatory, as they contain creatures vital to completions of levels (typically, [[Teensie]]s), and these [[cage]]s are always in plain sight and impossible to miss.

Overall, far less backtracking and secret-hunting is required to complete the game, but the player is rewarded for breaking [[cage]]s, as every 10 [[cage]]s freed extend [[Rayman]]'s life bar. Additionally, completing a level with all [[Yellow Lum]]s and [[cage]]s obtained gives access to a [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]], where a [[baby Globox]] can help [[Rayman]] replenish his life bar or gain a [[Power Fist]].

===Replays===
Once completed, a level can be replayed an unlimited number of times. Similarly to [[Rayman 1|the original game]], collectibles ([[Yellow Lum]]s and [[cage]]s) that have already been found do not reappear. Bosses, special characters and cutscenes are also usually skipped, making most levels much shorter, easier and emptier during replays. The [[baby Globox]] [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus levels]] are still offered on subsequent level completions, so [[Rayman]] can always restore his powers.

One difference from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] is that the final battle with [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in [[the Crow's Nest]] can be replayed.

==Game records==
''Main article: [https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/List_of_Rayman_records#Rayman_2 List of Rayman records]''

''Rayman 2'' has two [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus levels]] that are present in all versions. The [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version]] has significant differences made, and the peed is slightly different as well, and the PlayStation 2 version, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', has the levels as part of unlockable minigames rather than bonuses, where the player has to collect all [[Red Lum]]s.

==Main characters==
===The good guys===
*[[Rayman]] – The hero and protagonist of the game.
*[[Globox]] – [[Rayman]]'s best friend; husband of [[Uglette]] and father of the [[baby Globox]]es.
*[[Ly]] the Fairy – [[Rayman]]'s friend and powerful ally.
*[[Murfy]] – Serves as an ‘instructor’-type character.
*[[Teensie|The Teensies]] – Keepers of [[the Hall of Doors]].
*[[Clark]] the Giant – A friend of [[Rayman]]'s.
*[[Ssssam]] – a snake who helps [[Rayman]] cross [[the Marshes of Awakening]].

===The bad guys===
*[[Admiral Razorbeard]] – The main villain of the game.
*[[Robo-Pirate]] army – [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]'s army.
*[[Jano]] – The guardian of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].
*[[Piranha]]s, [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]]s, [[Zombie Chicken]]s – Twisted creatures that began to proliferate as a result of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' disruption of the natural balance.
*[[Caterpillar (disambiguation)|Caterpillars]], [[Jumping eye]]s and [[Mini Jano]] – Nightmares of [[Polokus]] escaped from [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].

==Environment==
[[File:Rayman2 map.jpg|320px|thumb|right|A physical ''Rayman 2'' map that came with various copies of the game.]]
Unlike [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], ''Rayman 2'' is not divided into certain themed worlds, but rather a trail of 20 different locations, none of which are as surreal as its predecessor's, but are still dissimilar to the real world. The levels are played in a linear fashion in a world map known as [[the Hall of Doors]] ([[the Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast version), with most levels following a single path (though [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], [[the Walk of Life]], and [[the Walk of Power]] are on side-paths). The player is able to backtrack to past levels if he or she wishes, and can move on to the final stage without breaking all of the [[cage]]s.

In [[Rayman Revolution|the PlayStation 2 remake]], [[the Hall of Doors]] is replaced by free-roaming hub areas in a place known as [[the Front]]. There are three of these areas, [[the Minisaurus Plain]], [[Globox's House]] and [[Rainbow Creek]], each of which has a [[Teensie Circle]] for quick access to completed levels.

[[File:Rayman 2 Dreamcast.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Sega Dreamcast cover.]]
===Sega Dreamcast===
The Sega Dreamcast version retains the high quality textures from the PC version, while slightly improving some. A new area has been added in [[the Woods of Light]] called [[Globox Village]], where the player can access new minigames by collecting [[Glob Crystal|Globox Crystals]]. This is the first version of ''Rayman 2'' to allow for widescreen and the only version where the aspect ratio can manually be changed. [[The Hall of Doors]] has been replaced by [[the Isle of Doors]]. Several more [[Robo-Pirate]]s have been added as well as a new type that shoots bombs. This is also the first version to have the cutscene in [[the Prison Ship]] where [[Rayman]] frees the prisoners, which was cut from the original versions due to time constraints.

Some levels do, however, have several new areas and some cutscenes have been changed as well. This is the first version to have full voice acting. Many graphical changes are present, most notably in [[the Hall of Doors]]. A new bonus level can be unlocked that lets the player try a stage from [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the 2D prototype]]. Instead of [[Lum]]s being imprisoned in [[cage]]s, there are now [[Ludiv]]s, [[Greenbottle]]s and [[Minisaurus]].

This version was later re-released on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

A lot of graphical improvements are present with a bunch of previously 2D assets having been reworked into 3D models. This is also the second version to feature full voice-acting. The original [[Raymanian]] voices can, however, still be chosen, with new sounds added.

This version was later re-released on the PlayStation Store in North America for PlayStation 3.

==Manuals==
{{quote|text=Panic in [[the Chamber of the Teensies]] and [[the Fairy Council]]: [[Robo-Pirate]]s from deep in space have arrived, determined to conquer and enslave their entire world. The time for combat has come. Volunteers form small resistance groups and throw themselves into battle with the evil aggressors. [[Rayman]] and his friend [[Globox]] go to the edge of [[the Great Forest]], where the highest number of [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] are located.

[[Rayman]] jumps from a tree and activates his [[helicopter]] for a soft landing in the middle of a thicket of bushes. "The [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]] are coming straight at us!", cries [[Rayman]] to his friend. "Get ready!"

The earth suddenly begins to tremble...Several trees collapse, creating a passageway for an army of robots.
The Battle begins! [[Rayman]] leaps into action, sending metal monsters flying with his powerful energy spheres. A little later, [[Globox]], trembling with fright, desperately tries to make the robots rust up by creating little [[Rain dance|rain storms]] over their heads. A robot, creaking horribly, crashes to the ground. "Not bad, [[Globox]]!" shouts [[Rayman]] with a smile.
[[Globox]] tries to answer, but [[Rayman]] doesn't hear. The strained face of [[Ly]] has just appeared in his mind.
"[[Rayman]]...", begins [[Ly]], in a weary voice., "The pirates have broken [[the Heart of the World]]. The energy has scattered. Other than [[Clark]], all of our brave warriors have been captured..."

Shocked by this terrible news, [[Rayman]] is surprised by a gigantic robot who pins him between its powerful pinchers. He tries to create a new [[Magic fist|energy sphere]] in the palm of his hand, but to no avail. The destruction of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]] has
taken away all of his powers...
Desparate, he shouts to his friend... "They've got me, [[Globox]]! Save Yourself!"
"But...but...what about you?!"
"No time to explain! Go find [[Ly]], she'll tell you what to do!"
After a moment of hesitation, [[Globox]] dodges between the feet of the robots, and plunges into the high grass.

An evil laugh reverberates. [[Rayman]] turns and sees [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], the leader of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]].
"I have you, [[Rayman]]! You'll soon be my most obedient slave!..."

[[Rayman]] tries to free himself, but the iron grip of the robot tightens around him. He casts a dark look at [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] and shouts defiantly : " It's not over yet, pirate! I'll find a way to escape and then I'll make you wish you'd never been born!"|sign=Manual|source=''Rayman 2''}}

==Promotion==
[[Ubisoft]] promoted ''Rayman 2'' with many toys and even a cartoon. There were YoYos, cell phone covers, a PlayStation 2 remote, a version of the game with a figure, and Happy Meal toys.

===Cartoon===
''Main article: [[Rayman: The Animated Series]]

In 1999, an animated television show based on the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] was produced to accompany the release of ''Rayman 2''. Only 4 episodes of the first season were released before being cancelled.

===McDonald's===
''Main article: [[Rayman merchandising]]''

Between the 17th of May and 13th of June 2000, [[Ubisoft]] joined with McDonald's to make a Happy Meal with [[Rayman]] toys. These toys were a [[Rayman]] riding a [[walking shell]], [[Rayman]] on a [[plum]] with spinning [[Helicopter|helicopter hair]], a light-up [[cage]], a sound-making [[Henchman 800]], a wobbling [[Globox]] and [[Ly]] the Fairy. The toys were only available in France.

[[File:Royal V.jpg|320px|thumb|right|Royal V's album ''"It's Good to be the King"''.]]

===''[[Tonic Trouble]]''===
Characters from each game made cameo appearances in the other game. In ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', [[Rayman]] can be seen during the game's end credits. In ''Rayman 2'', [[The General|a salesman]] who previously appeared in the intro sequence of the PC version of ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' sells the [[Grolgoth]] to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] late in the game. ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' was worked on (though not designed) by [[Michel Ancel]], used the ''Rayman 2'' engine, originally appeared on the same platforms as ''Rayman 2'', and was also released by [[Ubisoft]], giving reason for the crossovers, though ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' had not fared well critically or commercially, whereas ''Rayman 2'' became successful in both areas.

===Royal V===
The musical group Royal V released an album with a bonus music dedicated to ''Rayman 2'', under the name of ''"It's Good to be the King"''. The official videoclip<ref>Royal V video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0ZCAq5DiuU</ref> features unique footage of [[Rayman 2 (early production)|scrapped areas]] of the game.

===Mobile spin-offs===
''[[Rayman Bowling]]'', ''[[Rayman Golf]]'' and ''[[Rayman Garden]]'' are mobile phone spin-offs of ''Rayman 2'' and its remakes developed by [[Gameloft]].

==Reception==
''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' was released to critical acclaim. On Metacritic, the N64 version of the game received a score of 90%, signifying universal acclaim.<ref>Metacritic.com, ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape for Nintendo 64 Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic'', http://www.metacritic.com/game/nintendo-64/rayman-2-the-great-escape</ref> On GameRankings, the Dreamcast, Windows, N64 and PlayStation versions of the game were assigned scores of 92.71%, 91.27%, 88.83% and 87.23% respectively.<ref>GameRankings.com, ''Reviews and News Articles'', http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?search=rayman&numrev=3&site=</ref>

The game has been included on several lists of the greatest games of all time. IGN rated it as the 67th-greatest game.

{{quote|text=Platform gaming has long been known for jumping, bopping enemies, and collecting items. ''Rayman 2'' broke no new grounds in these areas, but instead perfected them as no other game had before. Starring a [[Rayman|character with no arms, legs or neck]], ''Rayman 2'' is a demonstration of what the modern platform game could be – smart, fast and challenging.|sign=IGN staff|source=IGN<ref>IGN.com ''IGN's Top 100 Games'', http://ie.top100.ign.com/2005/061-070.html</ref>}}

GameSpot staff member Ryan Davis wrote an article on the game for the site's 'Greatest Games of All Time' series.

{{quote|text=The gameplay was great, but, truly, it was the presentation of ''Rayman 2'' that brought the whole package together. This was a game created by artists, not technicians, and its use of crisp, clear, beautifully crafted textures over relatively simple 3D objects is a testament to that. This isn't to say that ''Rayman 2'' wasn't technically impressive at the time, because its massive 3D environments proved it certainly was that, but the creators of ''Rayman 2'' wanted to awe you with the surreal, vivid world they had created, instead of showing you some nifty technical tricks. The lush, slightly off-kilter musical score certainly helped perpetuate this dreamy reality, as did the nonsense languages that the inhabitants of ''The Great Escape'' spoke.

''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' is more than the sum of its parts, though its parts are admittedly a bit impressive on their own. Its European roots show through – as do [[Rayman]] creator/designer [[Michel Ancel]]'s interests in Nordic and Celtic mysticism – and lend the affair a flavour that has not been replicated since. Simply put, you will not have another video game experience quite like ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'', which is why we chose it as one of the greatest games of all time.

For my money, 3D platforming reached its absolute apex in ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''. I played through ''The Great Escape'' on the PC. Then I played through ''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' on the PlayStation 2. And each time my experience with ''Rayman 2'' had been simply sublime. It's an amazingly well-crafted platformer, providing a variety of play that most modern platformers can't match. But what stays with me the most, over time, is [[the Glade of Dreams|the beautiful, surreal world]] that ''Rayman 2'' takes place in. I've not had a 3D platforming experience that good, before or since.|sign=Ryan Gage|source=GameSpot<ref>GameSpot.com, ''The Greatest Games of All Time'', http://uk.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/all/greatestgames/p-24.html</ref>}}

'''''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''''' is the second major game in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. It is the first sequel to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and the series' first 3D game. ''Rayman 2'' introduced many brand-new major characters, though it featured almost none from its predecessor. ''Rayman 2'' was first released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and PC. It was followed by ports for the Sega Dreamcast and Sony PlayStation in 2000. Each version is different in its own way due to the specifications of each platform.

''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' is often abbreviated as '''''Rayman 2''''' or (to avoid confusion with the similarly named ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'') '''''R2'''''. The [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|Sony PlayStation version]] of ''Rayman 2'' was later released as a PSOne Classic on the North American PlayStation Network, on December 18, 2008. On March 1, 2010 and March 25, 2011, two versions based on the Dreamcast incarnation of the game were released; one for the [[Rayman 2 (iOS)|iOS]] devices, and a similar version for the Nintendo 3DS, under the title ''[[Rayman 3D]]''. The PC version joined ''[[Rayman Forever]]'' on the digital distribution service [http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/rayman_2_the_great_escape Good Old Games] on the 27th of May, 2011.

==Plot==
===The beginning===
Set in [[the Glade of Dreams]], ''Rayman 2'' begins shortly after [[Rayman]] is captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. Details from the opening sequence and manual explain how [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]] had come under attack by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, having historically destroyed over one hundred planets prior to their invasion. They attacked with the intent of enslaving [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]'s inhabitants, and were battled against by [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and other allies. After [[Report N° 20Z|some battles]], [[Rayman]]'s capture occurs after the explosion of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]]. [[Ly]] the Fairy telepathically communicates with [[Rayman]] explaining the consequences of the damage, with [[The Heart of the World|the Core]]'s shattering into 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s, and the capture of many fighters. [[Rayman]]'s powers are also lost due to this, and he finds himself captured by [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirates]], and calls on [[Globox]] to flee and find [[Ly]].

After the opening sequence, it is revealed that [[Globox]] was captured by [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirates]], and reunites with [[Rayman]] aboard the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirate]]'s [[The Prison Ship|Prison Ship]]. Having fallen to despair, [[Rayman]]'s hopes are restored when [[Globox]] gives [[Rayman]] a [[Silver Lum]] given to him by [[Ly]]. The [[Silver Lum]] gives [[Rayman]] the ability to [[Magic fist|shoot with his fist]], which [[Rayman]] uses to destroy a nearby vent, and escape with [[Globox]]. The two become separated after falling from [[Buccaneer|the ship]], and [[Rayman]] eventually finds himself in [[the Woods of Light]].

====Finding [[Ly]]====
[[Rayman]] decides the best course of action is to find [[Ly]], and travels through [[The Woods of Light|the Woods]]. He comes across [[Murfy]], who serves as [[Rayman]]'s guide throughout the game, and three [[baby Globox]]es. [[Rayman]] sadly informs them of his separation with [[Globox]], much to the [[Baby Globox|babies]]' dismay. [[Rayman]] promises that he can find them, but stresses his need to find [[Ly]], the [[Baby Globox|babies]] then inform [[Rayman]] that [[Ly]] had been taken deeper into [[The Woods of Light|the Woods]] by the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]. Traversing deeper, [[Rayman]] frees the [[Grand Minimus]] [[Teensie]]s locked in a [[cage]] at the end of the area. After bickering amongst themselves about who among them is their King, they tell [[Rayman]] of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]]'s locking of [[Ly]] in a stronghold within [[the Fairy Glade]]. They will allow [[Rayman]] access to [[the Hall of Doors]] ([[the Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|3DS]] versions), for the cost of all the [[Yellow Lum]]s contained within [[The Woods of Light|the Wood]]. Once collected, a [[Grand Minimus]] creates a [[Spiral Door]], and [[Rayman]] exits the area through it.

Using [[The Hall of Doors|the Hall]], [[Rayman]] traverses to [[the Fairy Glade]], and makes his way to the Pirate Stronghold. It is here where [[Rayman]] first encounters [[Robo-Pirate]]s since his capture, and the first time a player must combat them. Eventually, [[Rayman]] finds where [[Ly]] is held, in an energy prison powered by a machine within a nearby chamber. [[Rayman]] destroys the machines, freeing [[Ly]]. [[Rayman]] tells [[Ly]] of his separation with [[Globox]], and his loss of powers. [[Ly]] is unable to restore [[Rayman]]'s powers, however, due to the explosion of [[The Heart of the World|the Primordial Core]]. [[Ly]] then tells [[Rayman]] of the [[Four Masks of Polokus]], through which [[Polokus]] can be awakened, and whose power is sufficient to destroy the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]. [[Ly]] finally gives [[Rayman]] the power to swing on [[Purple Lum]]s, allowing [[Rayman]] to progress further. [[Rayman]] then sets out to collect the [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]], exiting [[The Fairy Glade|the Glade]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The first mask]]===
====[[The Marshlands]]====
[[File:R2TGE PC-Sssssam.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] freeing [[Ssssam]] in [[the Marshes of Awakening]].]]
[[Rayman]] next finds himself in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], where he frees [[Ssssam]] the Watersnake. While [[Ssssam]] is unable to aid [[Rayman]] in locating the [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks of Polokus]], he does know where the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]] took [[Globox]], and aids [[Rayman]] in crossing [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marsh]] by allowing him to water-ski across. There is also a side-path that the player may go through, where they will encounter [[Jano]], who is guarding a [[Spiral Door]]. At this point in time, he will refuse access to the door, as [[Rayman]] does not know where it leads, which is the requirement for passing through.

The next level is [[the Bayou]], a similar swampy location that [[Rayman]] must traverse on foot. [[Admiral Razorbeard]] is concerned by [[Rayman]]'s progress, and despatches several [[Warship]]s to destroy him. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] eats a [[Yellow Lum]], reducing the number of extant [[Yellow Lum]]s from 1000 to 999. At the beginning of the level is a side-path where [[Rayman]] can find a hologram of [[Ly]] the Fairy. If he has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, she will teleport him to a side-level called [[the Walk of Life]]. Although [[the Bayou]] is beset with [[Robo-Pirate]] [[Warship]]s and dangerous obstacles such as [[helicopter bomb]]s, [[Rayman]] makes it through the area unscathed.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]]====
[[Rayman]] approaches the entrance to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], the location in which the first of the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] is contained. He reunites with the [[Grand Minimus]], who inform him that he will not be allowed to enter without collecting a specific amount of [[Yellow Lum]]s, a requirement that is repeated in the entrances for the three other locations of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the masks]]. Once he has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, [[Rayman]] is able to enter, and after fighting past some [[Robo-Pirate]] soldiers, and solving the puzzle to enter [[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]], he finds himself inside. Within [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]], [[Rayman]] encounters the guardian of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first Mask]]; [[Axel]]. Using a chain of [[Purple Lum]]s to swing across the battle area, and dodging icicle projectiles thrown by [[Axel]], [[Rayman]] eventually triumphs over the guardian by causing an icicle to dislodge and impale [[Axel]]'s head.

With [[Axel]] dispatched, [[Rayman]] obtains [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]], which teleports him to the realm where [[Polokus]] slumbers. [[Polokus]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on his find, but urges him to move forward in his quest and collect [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]]. He then creates a [[Spiral Door]] to take [[Rayman]] back to [[the Hall of Doors]], allowing [[Rayman]] to continue.

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The second mask]]===
====Healing [[Clark]]====
[[File:Rayman meets Clark.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] meets [[Clark]] in [[the Menhir Hills]].]]
Beginning the search for [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]], [[Rayman]] finds himself in [[the Menhir Hills]], where he learns to tame and ride [[walking shell]]s. Moving further in, [[Rayman]] meets with [[Clark]] the Giant in the [[Elite Troop Training Center]], who has become ill after accidentally swallowing a [[Robo-Pirate]] part during a battle. He asks [[Rayman]] to retrieve the [[Elixir of Life]] from [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], and stresses to [[Rayman]] that he needs to remember the name in order to enter.

[[Rayman]] then returns to [[the Marshes of Awakening]], where [[Jano]] now allows [[Rayman]] to enter the [[Spiral Door]]. [[Rayman]] is hypnotised by [[Jano]] and then transported to [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], and is challenged to find the treasures within before [[Jano]] can catch him. [[Jano]] eventually meets with [[Rayman]] as he nears the treasure trove and gives chase, leading [[Rayman]] into a large corridor where he must avoid [[Jano]]'s attacks and use the skulls he emits to progress through. Eventually, he makes it to the treasure, where [[Jano]] congratulates [[Rayman]], and offers it to him. The player is then given the choice to accept or decline [[Jano]]'s offer, accepting will lead to a short cutscene depicting an overweight [[Rayman]] lounging on a small island, and an alleged "end" to the game. The cutscene ends by cutting back to the choice. Declining the offer will cause [[Rayman]] to be returned to the Marshes, and [[Jano]] will reward [[Rayman]] with the [[Elixir of Life]] for making the right choice and not succumbing to greed.

[[Rayman]] then returns to [[the Menhir Hills]], and gives the [[Elixir of Life|Elixir]] to [[Clark]]. [[Clark]] is reinvigorated, and helps [[Rayman]] progress further through the facility. [[Rayman]] then parts ways with [[Clark]] at the exit of the facility, and finally leaves [[the Menhir Hills]] via a [[walking shell]].

====Freeing [[Globox]] and [[Carmen]]====
[[Rayman]] reunites with [[Globox]] from within [[the Canopy]], which, true to its name, takes place within the higher levels of a deep forest. [[Rayman]] frees [[Globox]] from imprisonment by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s operating within the area, and [[Globox]] aids [[Rayman]] in traversing through the area, using his [[Rain Dance|rain-dance]] to destroy [[laser]] barriers or grow fauna that can aid [[Rayman]] in progressing. [[Globox]] also reveals that he received another [[Silver Lum]], which gives [[Rayman]] the ability to charge his [[magic fist]], greatly enhancing his offensive capabilities. After fighting past a [[Warship]] and tricking a [[Robo-Pirate]] into opening the exit by hiding within a bush, [[Rayman]] is able to leave the area. [[Globox]] remains behind, stating that his spouse, [[Uglette]], wishes to see him.

The next level is [[Whale Bay]], a watery location infested by [[Robo-Pirate]]s and [[piranha]]s. The benevolent whale, [[Carmen]], has been imprisoned in a [[laser]] cage by the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]], who plan to use her blubber to oil the engines of the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. [[Rayman]] frees her, and she releases [[air bubble]]s that allow him to accompany her underwater. Unfortunately the local [[piranha]]s want to steal the [[Air bubble|bubbles]] to ease their heartburn, so [[Rayman]] must frighten them off with his [[magic fist]] so that he can continue to breathe. Eventually [[Rayman]] completes his underwater passage and comes to the end of the level.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]]====
The next level is [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], the second of the game's Sanctuaries. This is a long and labyrinthine level, filled with secret passages, wrong turns and optional areas, including an entire temple that has no discernible purpose. [[Rayman]] spends a great deal of time on [[plum]]s, which can be used to cross the many lakes of lava. Eventually [[Rayman]] comes to a chamber containing a large blocky stone statue: this is [[Umber]], the guardian of [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. Unlike [[Axel]], [[Umber]] is pacifistic; he allows [[Rayman]] to stand on his head while he walks across a pool of lava, taking [[Rayman]] to the final chamber. It is shaped much the same as the chamber in which [[Rayman]] found [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]], with a raised platform on which sits a stone container. [[Rayman's symbol]] once again connects to the stone; it slides open, and [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]] emerges. [[Rayman]] takes it and once again is transported to [[Polokus]]'s domain. The god congratulates [[Rayman]], takes [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]], affixes it to his stone, and sends [[Rayman]] back to [[the Hall of Doors]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The third mask]]===
====Making Progress====
[[File:TheTopoftheWorldPC.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] arriving at [[the Top of the World]].]]
Now making his way to [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]], [[Rayman]] arrives at [[the Echoing Caves]], after activating four [[switch]]es in a non-linear area, he enters the caves themselves. Due to the large amounts of toxic liquid within the caves, [[Rayman]] lights [[keg]]s, and uses them to fly across the caves to solid footing. [[Rayman]] may also encounter an entryway, leading him into a secret area within [[the Fairy Glade]], where he can break a [[cage]] that cannot be broken by normal visit. [[Rayman]] returns and finally exits [[the Echoing Caves]], with a [[Warship]] flying in the background, preluding the events of the next area.

[[Admiral Razorbeard]] learns of [[Rayman]]'s progress, and has [[Warship]]s sent to stop him. [[Rayman]] encounters and must flee the [[Warship]]s from within [[the Precipice]], a mountainous region that can succumb to flooding, and can contain vast caverns within. [[Rayman]] is able to elude the [[Warship]]s, and moves on to [[the Top of the World]]. The area contains a [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]] Fort, but it cannot be accessed via conventional means, as such, [[Rayman]] rides upon a [[Rollercoaster Challenge|rollercoaster-esque]] transport, dodging obstacles that are within the path of the coaster, which can cause [[Rayman]] to despawn. Making it into the Fortress, [[Rayman]] fights past many [[Barrel Pirate]]s, and eventually exits the area.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]]====
Much like the prior [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]], [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]] is contained within a Sanctuary, this one being [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. [[Rayman]] finds himself in a marshy area, which he must traverse through in order to reach [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary]] itself. Within the marshy area is the entrance to [[the Walk of Power]], a [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]] that can be accessed if the player has obtained enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, much like [[the Walk of Life]]. After traversing through the marshes, [[Rayman]] finds himself within [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary]] itself, and progresses forward. However, [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] is not located within the area, and [[Rayman]] heads [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|beneath the Sanctuary]] instead.

[[Ly]] meets with [[Rayman]] beneath the Sanctuary, and tells [[Rayman]] that she has gathered enough energy to grant him the [[Super helicopter]] ability, allowing him to fly as opposed to simply gliding with his hair. She informs [[Rayman]] that traversing through the area will be difficult, and tells him to use the [[Super helicopter]] to move through the area. Using this ability, [[Rayman]] is able to reach the end of the area, where he encounters [[Foutch]]. [[Foutch]] promptly hits [[Rayman]], causing him to lose the [[Super helicopter]] power, and fall. [[Rayman]] finds footing within a circular pathway, and is chased by [[Foutch]], who wishes to burn [[Rayman]] by throwing flames at him. [[Rayman]] is able to use spiderwebs to bounce high enough to reach stalactites positioned in bridges above the pathway. These stalactites will impale [[Foutch]] when shot at, allowing [[Rayman]] to triumph over the guardian. A [[Purple Lum]] then appears, allowing [[Rayman]] to reach the bridges, which lead to [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]]. [[Rayman]] is transported to [[Polokus]] and gives [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]] to him, and [[Polokus]] creates a [[Spiral Door]] to allow [[Rayman]] to move on and locate [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth and final mask]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The fourth mask]]===
====Reuniting with [[Clark]]====
[[File:Spyglass Pirate controlling Clark.jpg|320px|thumb|right|The [[Spyglass pirate]] forces [[Clark]] to attack [[Rayman]].]]
[[Rayman]] next enters the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], where a sign alerts the player to the capture of [[Clark]] and his imprisonment in the [[Technical Check-up]], which is located within the area. The [[Tomb of the Ancients]] is notable for having secret passages, with one leading to the [[1000th Yellow Lum]], another allowing the player to skip through a large section of the level, and another that can only be legitimately accessed in the Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS version]] of the game, nicknamed the [[Tomb of the Ancients secret]]. Once the player has reached the end of the level, it is revealed that the [[Robo-Pirate]]s have been able to bring [[Clark]] under their control using a device implanted into his back. The [[Spyglass Pirate]] is shown demonstrating his control over [[Clark]], before control is returned to the player, who must break the device. Once the device is broken, [[Clark]] lifts [[Rayman]] high enough to break the [[cage]] containing the [[Teensie]] to exit the level, and consequently exits the area.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]]====
Finally, [[Rayman]] makes it to [[the Iron Mountains]], where he traverses through various [[Robo-Pirate]] installations contained within the area. The area itself contains areas of differing themes, including swamps, rapids, an island and finally some [[Pirate Mines|mines]]. During his travels in the area, he comes across the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]], guarded by a [[Robot Dinosaur]]. [[Rayman]] infiltrates the facility and frees the captive [[baby Globox]]es within, before using a [[walking shell]] to reach the mines.

Within the mines, [[Rayman]] encounters [[Uglette]], who is in despair over the loss of her [[Baby Globox|babies]], who are being used as labour in the [[Pirate Mines|mines]], and [[Globox]], who in the defense of their [[Baby Globox|babies]] has been captured and sent to the [[Buccaneer|Pirate's Prison Ship]]. [[Rayman]] calms [[Uglette]] and promises to free [[Baby Globox|her children]], making use of a nearby [[Warship]] to travel to each mine and to allow the [[Baby Globox|babies]] to leave. Once he has visited all the mines, [[Rayman]] returns and reunites the [[Baby Globox|babies]] with [[Uglette]]. [[Uglette]] and [[Baby Globox|her children]] then board the [[Warship]] to leave, but one of [[Baby Globox|the children]] passes off [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] to [[Rayman]], stating that they had found it within the [[Pirate Mines|mines]]. [[Rayman]] says his goodbyes to the [[Globox]] family, and departs to [[Polokus]].

[[Polokus]] congratulates [[Rayman]], takes [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] and attaches it to the remaining side of his four-sides stone column. The stone begins to spin rapidly, blurring until it is transfigured into a transparent, glowing portal. [[Polokus]] tells [[Rayman]] that, now that he has been awakened, he can destroy all of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s in [[the Glade of Dreams]], but says that he has no power in the air – [[Rayman]] himself must confront [[Admiral Razorbeard]] on board the flying ''[[Buccaneer]]''. [[Rayman]] steps into [[Polokus]]'s portal; his health is increased to maximum, and he is transported to [[the Hall of Doors]].

===The ending===
====Infiltrating [[the Prison Ship]]====
A [[The General|Salesman]] visits [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], and pitches the [[Grolgoth]] as the solution to the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]]'s problem with [[Rayman]]. After some consideration, [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] accepts the [[Grolgoth]], setting the circumstances for the final confrontation with [[Rayman]]. In the meantime, [[Rayman]] infiltrates [[the Prison Ship]], the largest of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]] Vessels and fortress in its own right. [[Rayman]] initially finds himself sliding through floors and tunnels within the bowels of the ship, but is able to acquire a [[flying shell]], which he uses to progress even further through the ships' interior chambers.

In most versions, excluding those based off the PC and Nintendo 64, a cutscene will play once the level is completed for the first time. It shows [[Rayman]] freeing the captives within [[the Prison Ship]], who are then urged to leave, while [[Rayman]] makes his final approach to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] himself.

====The Final Battle====
[[File:TheCrowsNestPC.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] battling [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in the [[Grolgoth]].]]
The [[Spyglass Pirate]] gives his final update on [[Rayman]]'s progress to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], informing him of [[Rayman]]'s success in freeing their captives, and his infiltration of the ship. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] punishes [[Spyglass Pirate|the Spyglass]] for his failure, having him swim in molten lava, but not before preparing the [[Grolgoth]] to fight [[Rayman]]. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] has the [[Grolgoth]] set up in [[the Crow's Nest]] of [[the Prison Ship]], and lures [[Rayman]] to him by having the captured [[Globox]] as the [[Grolgoth]]'s first target. [[Rayman]] arrives at the nest to defend [[Globox]], but [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] shoots down the structure holding [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] in place. [[Rayman]] is able to grab the ledge of [[the Crow's Nest]], and climbs up, unharmed. [[Globox]] is left dangling on the side of [[the Crow's Nest]], but assures [[Rayman]] that he is fine, and to go fight [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]].

The fight against the [[Grolgoth]] has two phases, the initial phase has [[Rayman]] dodge various attacks from the [[Grolgoth]], but knock back the [[helicopter bomb]]s it produces to trip the machine up. This continues until the [[Grolgoth]] has tripped thrice, after which [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] attempts to crush [[Rayman]] by jumping onto him with the [[Grolgoth]]. The attack fails, and [[the Crow's Nest]] collapsing, causing both the [[Grolgoth]] and [[Rayman]] to fall into a lava filled chamber. [[Rayman]] is saved from falling into the lava due to a [[Silver Lum]] that [[Ly]] generated from afar. The [[Silver Lum|Lum]] guides [[Rayman]] to a safe platform, in which [[Rayman]] is able to mount a [[flying shell]]. [[Ly]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on his performance thus far, and informs him of the complete defeat of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s on [[the Glade of Dreams]], tasking [[Rayman]] to complete their victory by defeating [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]. [[Rayman]] then sees that the [[Grolgoth]] has survived the fall also, and the second phase of the battle commences. In this phase, [[Rayman]] uses the [[flying shell]] to manoeuvre round a chamber, or tunnel in the PlayStation version. [[Rayman]] is able to shoot down the [[Grolgoth]], using ammunition scattered within the chamber, in the PlayStation version, he instead causes [[helicopter bomb]]s and homing missiles to deflect back to the [[Grolgoth]], damaging it.

====Victory====
Eventually, the [[Grolgoth]] is rendered inoperative, and [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] flees the ship, but not before setting off a self-destruct within the [[Grolgoth]], which causes [[the Prison Ship]] to detonate and be destroyed, with [[Rayman]] still inside.

[[Rayman]]'s friends assume that [[Rayman]] has fallen. [[Ly]] the Fairy, [[Clark]], [[Murfy]], the [[Grand Minimus]], [[Globox]], [[Polokus]], [[Uglette]] and three [[baby Globox]]es, all gather in [[Polokus]]'s domain for a memorial service. They could only recover [[Rayman]]'s [[Crazy Shoe|left shoe]], however, the [[Crazy Shoe|shoe]] suddenly appears to react to an oncoming presence, as a limping, one-footed [[Rayman]] emerges from the woods nearby, much to the joy of everyone present. His [[Crazy Shoe|shoe]] rejoins his body and he looks up at all his friends, last of all [[Ly]], while hugging the [[baby Globox]]es. Fireworks are launched in celebration, and a message is displayed congratulating [[Rayman]] on his feats. The harmony of [[the Glade of Dreams]] has been restored and [[the Heart of the World]] has been pieced back together. The game ends with the message, ‘Now rest, you may have to fight again. Who knows what tomorrow will bring...’, referencing the next game, ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The end credits sequence shows [[Admiral Razorbeard]]'s escape pod fleeing through the depths of space.

===2D Game===
''Main article: [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)]]''

''Rayman 2'' was first developed to be a 2D sidescrolling platform game similar to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and was planned to be released on the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.<ref>Unseen64.com, ''Rayman 2 [2D version - Unreleased]'', http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/11/rayman2-2d-cancelled</ref> Screenshots, videos and interviews indicate that the game would still involve an invasion of robots from space. The game featured enemies similar to the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and it also featured background platforming - using a device similar to a shower head and a toilet flush, [[Rayman]] could teleport from the foreground to the background (and vice-versa). One video in particular also featured [[Betilla]] the Fairy, and showed her imprisoned in a cell.

This 2D game was cancelled in favour of the 3D version it became, though a playable prototype (version 01.12d) featuring one level is included in the [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']], and is unlocked if the player collects at least 720 [[Yellow Lum]]s out of the version's total 800. It was discovered that this prototype was last worked on on May 31, 1996 and was sent to the ''PlayStation RayMan 2 team'' so that they could incorporate one of its levels into their version of the game.

===''Rayman's training''===
''Main article: [[Rayman's training]]''

[[File:Rayman training.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A screenshot of ''[[Rayman's training]]'', showcasing [[Rayman]]'s original 3D model.]]

In-between the development of the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D game]] and the 3D game, a CGI short film for the game titled ''[[Rayman's training]]'' was created in 1998 and subsequently premiered in February 1st for Imagina 1998, following a trailer for ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''. ''[[Rayman's training]]'' is notable for being the "missing link" between the two stages of ''Rayman 2'''s development, and is known for clips of it being used in the 1998 E3 trailer for the 3D game. Characters from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype]] appear in the short, along with [[Rayman]] having a older 3D model in use. Not much is known about the short's plot, and it has not been released in any form.

''[[Rayman's training]]'' was considered lost media until March 12 2022, when a version of the video with no sound was uploaded to YouTube. Until then, only clips of the short film were seen scattered across various ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' ephemera from 1997 - 1998.

===3D game===
''Main article: [[Rayman 2 (early production)]]''
Not much is currently known about [[Rayman 2 (early production)|the development of the 3D game]] that eventually became the final ''Rayman 2'', however, from pre-release screenshots and footage, it is clear that level designs underwent significant evolution, and the HUD was at one point drastically different to the HUD seen in the final game. Recent texture hacking led to the discovery of more pre-release elements, textures for a third red coloured [[Magic Sphere]] and its pyramid base were located, it is unknown why these textures went unused and where the objects they represented were meant to be placed. Despite not being used in the game itself, they can be made to replace the other used colourations via texture hacking.

A lot of changes have also been seen in early trailer and interviews for the game. At one point [[Purple Lum]]s were going to have a completely different design resembling the other [[Lum]]s seen in the game.<ref>YouTube.com, Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn_UYduONuA</ref> A video showing an early version of the Nintendo 64 version reveals an unused area most likely located in [[the Prison Ship]]. It closely resembles the alternative path that can be taken in the same level to fill up [[Rayman]]'s health.<ref>YouTube.com, Unused area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCZ10RrA_5Q</ref> Other trailers show more open levels suggesting ''Rayman 2'' was at one point going to go in a more non-linear direction.<ref>YouTube.com, Early trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KujjiLYaW8</ref>

==Gameplay==
[[File:R2 Lum.png|320px|thumb|right|[[Yellow Lum]]s are the main item in the game.]]

The gameplay in ''Rayman 2'' is similar to that of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], translated into a 3D world. Most of the gameplay consists of running, jumping, climbing, gliding and flying between platforms and other surfaces, interspersed with battle sequences with [[Robo-Pirate]]s and other enemies. A new element of gameplay is [[swimming]], which is present in some of the levels.

Contrary to [[Rayman 1|the original game]], this time [[Rayman]] starts with a few powers, such as [[helicopter]]ing and a basic attack power, which is given to him by [[Globox]] who is introduced at the very beginning. Additional powers, some permanent and others temporary, are unlocked during the natural course of the game, similarly to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].

The aim of the game is to defeat [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and his [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and, by doing so, restore order to the world. Along the way, [[Rayman]] will locate and reassemble [[Yellow Lum]]s that have been scattered following the explosion of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]], and rescue creatures that have been imprisoned in [[cage]]s. However, unlike in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], ''Rayman 2'' has no strict requirement to obtain all [[Yellow Lum]]s/[[cage]]s to finish the game, probably in order to make the game less difficult. A certain number of [[Yellow Lum]]s is required to advance past specific points, but this number is typically substantially lower than the number of [[Yellow Lum]]s available prior to that, and is easily obtainable during normal play. Some [[cage]]s are also obligatory, as they contain creatures vital to completions of levels (typically, [[Teensie]]s), and these [[cage]]s are always in plain sight and impossible to miss.

Overall, far less backtracking and secret-hunting is required to complete the game, but the player is rewarded for breaking [[cage]]s, as every 10 [[cage]]s freed extend [[Rayman]]'s life bar. Additionally, completing a level with all [[Yellow Lum]]s and [[cage]]s obtained gives access to a [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]], where a [[baby Globox]] can help [[Rayman]] replenish his life bar or gain a [[Power Fist]].

===Replays===
Once completed, a level can be replayed an unlimited number of times. Similarly to [[Rayman 1|the original game]], collectibles ([[Yellow Lum]]s and [[cage]]s) that have already been found do not reappear. Bosses, special characters and cutscenes are also usually skipped, making most levels much shorter, easier and emptier during replays. The [[baby Globox]] [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus levels]] are still offered on subsequent level completions, so [[Rayman]] can always restore his powers.

One difference from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] is that the final battle with [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in [[the Crow's Nest]] can be replayed.

==Game records==
''Main article: [https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/List_of_Rayman_records#Rayman_2 List of Rayman records]''

''Rayman 2'' has two [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus levels]] that are present in all versions. The [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version]] has significant differences made, and the peed is slightly different as well, and the PlayStation 2 version, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', has the levels as part of unlockable minigames rather than bonuses, where the player has to collect all [[Red Lum]]s.

==Main characters==
===The good guys===
*[[Rayman]] – The hero and protagonist of the game.
*[[Globox]] – [[Rayman]]'s best friend; husband of [[Uglette]] and father of the [[baby Globox]]es.
*[[Ly]] the Fairy – [[Rayman]]'s friend and powerful ally.
*[[Murfy]] – Serves as an ‘instructor’-type character.
*[[Teensie|The Teensies]] – Keepers of [[the Hall of Doors]].
*[[Clark]] the Giant – A friend of [[Rayman]]'s.
*[[Ssssam]] – a snake who helps [[Rayman]] cross [[the Marshes of Awakening]].

===The bad guys===
*[[Admiral Razorbeard]] – The main villain of the game.
*[[Robo-Pirate]] army – [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]'s army.
*[[Jano]] – The guardian of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].
*[[Piranha]]s, [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]]s, [[Zombie Chicken]]s – Twisted creatures that began to proliferate as a result of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' disruption of the natural balance.
*[[Caterpillar (disambiguation)|Caterpillars]], [[Jumping eye]]s and [[Mini Jano]] – Nightmares of [[Polokus]] escaped from [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].

==Environment==
[[File:Rayman2 map.jpg|320px|thumb|right|A physical ''Rayman 2'' map that came with various copies of the game.]]
Unlike [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], ''Rayman 2'' is not divided into certain themed worlds, but rather a trail of 20 different locations, none of which are as surreal as its predecessor's, but are still dissimilar to the real world. The levels are played in a linear fashion in a world map known as [[the Hall of Doors]] ([[the Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast version), with most levels following a single path (though [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], [[the Walk of Life]], and [[the Walk of Power]] are on side-paths). The player is able to backtrack to past levels if he or she wishes, and can move on to the final stage without breaking all of the [[cage]]s.

In [[Rayman Revolution|the PlayStation 2 remake]], [[the Hall of Doors]] is replaced by free-roaming hub areas in a place known as [[the Front]]. There are three of these areas, [[the Minisaurus Plain]], [[Globox's House]] and [[Rainbow Creek]], each of which has a [[Teensie Circle]] for quick access to completed levels.

This is the first version of ''Rayman 2'' to allow for widescreen and the only version where the aspect ratio can manually be changed. [[The Hall of Doors]] has been replaced by [[the Isle of Doors]]. Several more [[Robo-Pirate]]s have been added as well as a new type that shoots bombs. This is also the first version to have the cutscene in [[the Prison Ship]] where [[Rayman]] frees the prisoners, which was cut from the original versions due to time constraints.

==Manuals==
{{quote|text=Panic in [[the Chamber of the Teensies]] and [[the Fairy Council]]: [[Robo-Pirate]]s from deep in space have arrived, determined to conquer and enslave their entire world. The time for combat has come. Volunteers form small resistance groups and throw themselves into battle with the evil aggressors. [[Rayman]] and his friend [[Globox]] go to the edge of [[the Great Forest]], where the highest number of [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] are located.

[[Rayman]] jumps from a tree and activates his [[helicopter]] for a soft landing in the middle of a thicket of bushes. "The [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]] are coming straight at us!", cries [[Rayman]] to his friend. "Get ready!"

The earth suddenly begins to tremble...Several trees collapse, creating a passageway for an army of robots.
The Battle begins! [[Rayman]] leaps into action, sending metal monsters flying with his powerful energy spheres. A little later, [[Globox]], trembling with fright, desperately tries to make the robots rust up by creating little [[Rain dance|rain storms]] over their heads. A robot, creaking horribly, crashes to the ground. "Not bad, [[Globox]]!" shouts [[Rayman]] with a smile.
[[Globox]] tries to answer, but [[Rayman]] doesn't hear. The strained face of [[Ly]] has just appeared in his mind.
"[[Rayman]]...", begins [[Ly]], in a weary voice., "The pirates have broken [[the Heart of the World]]. The energy has scattered. Other than [[Clark]], all of our brave warriors have been captured..."

Shocked by this terrible news, [[Rayman]] is surprised by a gigantic robot who pins him between its powerful pinchers. He tries to create a new [[Magic fist|energy sphere]] in the palm of his hand, but to no avail. The destruction of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]] has
taken away all of his powers...
Desparate, he shouts to his friend... "They've got me, [[Globox]]! Save Yourself!"
"But...but...what about you?!"
"No time to explain! Go find [[Ly]], she'll tell you what to do!"
After a moment of hesitation, [[Globox]] dodges between the feet of the robots, and plunges into the high grass.

An evil laugh reverberates. [[Rayman]] turns and sees [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], the leader of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]].
"I have you, [[Rayman]]! You'll soon be my most obedient slave!..."

[[Rayman]] tries to free himself, but the iron grip of the robot tightens around him. He casts a dark look at [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] and shouts defiantly : " It's not over yet, pirate! I'll find a way to escape and then I'll make you wish you'd never been born!"|sign=Manual|source=''Rayman 2''}}

==Promotion==
[[Ubisoft]] promoted ''Rayman 2'' with many toys and even a cartoon. There were YoYos, cell phone covers, a PlayStation 2 remote, a version of the game with a figure, and Happy Meal toys.

===Cartoon===
''Main article: [[Rayman: The Animated Series]]

In 1999, an animated television show based on the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] was produced to accompany the release of ''Rayman 2''. Only 4 episodes of the first season were released before being cancelled.

===McDonald's===
''Main article: [[Rayman merchandising]]''

Between the 17th of May and 13th of June 2000, [[Ubisoft]] joined with McDonald's to make a Happy Meal with [[Rayman]] toys. These toys were a [[Rayman]] riding a [[walking shell]], [[Rayman]] on a [[plum]] with spinning [[Helicopter|helicopter hair]], a light-up [[cage]], a sound-making [[Henchman 800]], a wobbling [[Globox]] and [[Ly]] the Fairy. The toys were only available in France.

[[File:Royal V.jpg|320px|thumb|right|Royal V's album ''"It's Good to be the King"''.]]

===''[[Tonic Trouble]]''===
Characters from each game made cameo appearances in the other game. In ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', [[Rayman]] can be seen during the game's end credits. In ''Rayman 2'', [[The General|a salesman]] who previously appeared in the intro sequence of the PC version of ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' sells the [[Grolgoth]] to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] late in the game. ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' was worked on (though not designed) by [[Michel Ancel]], used the ''Rayman 2'' engine, originally appeared on the same platforms as ''Rayman 2'', and was also released by [[Ubisoft]], giving reason for the crossovers, though ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' had not fared well critically or commercially, whereas ''Rayman 2'' became successful in both areas.

===Royal V===
The musical group Royal V released an album with a bonus music dedicated to ''Rayman 2'', under the name of ''"It's Good to be the King"''. The official videoclip<ref>Royal V video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0ZCAq5DiuU</ref> features unique footage of [[Rayman 2 (early production)|scrapped areas]] of the game.

===Mobile spin-offs===
''[[Rayman Bowling]]'', ''[[Rayman Golf]]'' and ''[[Rayman Garden]]'' are mobile phone spin-offs of ''Rayman 2'' and its remakes developed by [[Gameloft]].

==Reception==
''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' was released to critical acclaim. On Metacritic, the N64 version of the game received a score of 90%, signifying universal acclaim.<ref>Metacritic.com, ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape for Nintendo 64 Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic'', http://www.metacritic.com/game/nintendo-64/rayman-2-the-great-escape</ref> On GameRankings, the Dreamcast, Windows, N64 and PlayStation versions of the game were assigned scores of 92.71%, 91.27%, 88.83% and 87.23% respectively.<ref>GameRankings.com, ''Reviews and News Articles'', http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?search=rayman&numrev=3&site=</ref>

The game has been included on several lists of the greatest games of all time. IGN rated it as the 67th-greatest game.

{{quote|text=Platform gaming has long been known for jumping, bopping enemies, and collecting items. ''Rayman 2'' broke no new grounds in these areas, but instead perfected them as no other game had before. Starring a [[Rayman|character with no arms, legs or neck]], ''Rayman 2'' is a demonstration of what the modern platform game could be – smart, fast and challenging.|sign=IGN staff|source=IGN<ref>IGN.com ''IGN's Top 100 Games'', http://ie.top100.ign.com/2005/061-070.html</ref>}}

GameSpot staff member Ryan Davis wrote an article on the game for the site's 'Greatest Games of All Time' series.

{{quote|text=The gameplay was great, but, truly, it was the presentation of ''Rayman 2'' that brought the whole package together. This was a game created by artists, not technicians, and its use of crisp, clear, beautifully crafted textures over relatively simple 3D objects is a testament to that. This isn't to say that ''Rayman 2'' wasn't technically impressive at the time, because its massive 3D environments proved it certainly was that, but the creators of ''Rayman 2'' wanted to awe you with the surreal, vivid world they had created, instead of showing you some nifty technical tricks. The lush, slightly off-kilter musical score certainly helped perpetuate this dreamy reality, as did the nonsense languages that the inhabitants of ''The Great Escape'' spoke.

''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' is more than the sum of its parts, though its parts are admittedly a bit impressive on their own. Its European roots show through – as do [[Rayman]] creator/designer [[Michel Ancel]]'s interests in Nordic and Celtic mysticism – and lend the affair a flavour that has not been replicated since. Simply put, you will not have another video game experience quite like ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'', which is why we chose it as one of the greatest games of all time.

For my money, 3D platforming reached its absolute apex in ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''. I played through ''The Great Escape'' on the PC. Then I played through ''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' on the PlayStation 2. And each time my experience with ''Rayman 2'' had been simply sublime. It's an amazingly well-crafted platformer, providing a variety of play that most modern platformers can't match. But what stays with me the most, over time, is [[the Glade of Dreams|the beautiful, surreal world]] that ''Rayman 2'' takes place in. I've not had a 3D platforming experience that good, before or since.|sign=Ryan Gage|source=GameSpot<ref>GameSpot.com, ''The Greatest Games of All Time'', http://uk.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/all/greatestgames/p-24.html</ref>}}

'''''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''''' is the second major game in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. It is the first sequel to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and the series' first 3D game. ''Rayman 2'' introduced many brand-new major characters, though it featured almost none from its predecessor. ''Rayman 2'' was first released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and PC. It was followed by ports for the Sega Dreamcast and Sony PlayStation in 2000. Each version is different in its own way due to the specifications of each platform.

''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' is often abbreviated as '''''Rayman 2''''' or (to avoid confusion with the similarly named ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'') '''''R2'''''. The [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|Sony PlayStation version]] of ''Rayman 2'' was later released as a PSOne Classic on the North American PlayStation Network, on December 18, 2008. On March 1, 2010 and March 25, 2011, two versions based on the Dreamcast incarnation of the game were released; one for the [[Rayman 2 (iOS)|iOS]] devices, and a similar version for the Nintendo 3DS, under the title ''[[Rayman 3D]]''. The PC version joined ''[[Rayman Forever]]'' on the digital distribution service [http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/rayman_2_the_great_escape Good Old Games] on the 27th of May, 2011.

==Plot==
===The beginning===
Set in [[the Glade of Dreams]], ''Rayman 2'' begins shortly after [[Rayman]] is captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. Details from the opening sequence and manual explain how [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]] had come under attack by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, having historically destroyed over one hundred planets prior to their invasion. They attacked with the intent of enslaving [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]'s inhabitants, and were battled against by [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and other allies. After [[Report N° 20Z|some battles]], [[Rayman]]'s capture occurs after the explosion of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]]. [[Ly]] the Fairy telepathically communicates with [[Rayman]] explaining the consequences of the damage, with [[The Heart of the World|the Core]]'s shattering into 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s, and the capture of many fighters. [[Rayman]]'s powers are also lost due to this, and he finds himself captured by [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirates]], and calls on [[Globox]] to flee and find [[Ly]].

After the opening sequence, it is revealed that [[Globox]] was captured by [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirates]], and reunites with [[Rayman]] aboard the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', [[Robo-Pirate|the Pirate]]'s [[The Prison Ship|Prison Ship]]. Having fallen to despair, [[Rayman]]'s hopes are restored when [[Globox]] gives [[Rayman]] a [[Silver Lum]] given to him by [[Ly]]. The [[Silver Lum]] gives [[Rayman]] the ability to [[Magic fist|shoot with his fist]], which [[Rayman]] uses to destroy a nearby vent, and escape with [[Globox]]. The two become separated after falling from [[Buccaneer|the ship]], and [[Rayman]] eventually finds himself in [[the Woods of Light]].

====Finding [[Ly]]====
[[Rayman]] decides the best course of action is to find [[Ly]], and travels through [[The Woods of Light|the Woods]]. He comes across [[Murfy]], who serves as [[Rayman]]'s guide throughout the game, and three [[baby Globox]]es. [[Rayman]] sadly informs them of his separation with [[Globox]], much to the [[Baby Globox|babies]]' dismay. [[Rayman]] promises that he can find them, but stresses his need to find [[Ly]], the [[Baby Globox|babies]] then inform [[Rayman]] that [[Ly]] had been taken deeper into [[The Woods of Light|the Woods]] by the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]. Traversing deeper, [[Rayman]] frees the [[Grand Minimus]] [[Teensie]]s locked in a [[cage]] at the end of the area. After bickering amongst themselves about who among them is their King, they tell [[Rayman]] of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]]'s locking of [[Ly]] in a stronghold within [[the Fairy Glade]]. They will allow [[Rayman]] access to [[the Hall of Doors]] ([[the Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|3DS]] versions), for the cost of all the [[Yellow Lum]]s contained within [[The Woods of Light|the Wood]]. Once collected, a [[Grand Minimus]] creates a [[Spiral Door]], and [[Rayman]] exits the area through it.

Using [[The Hall of Doors|the Hall]], [[Rayman]] traverses to [[the Fairy Glade]], and makes his way to the Pirate Stronghold. It is here where [[Rayman]] first encounters [[Robo-Pirate]]s since his capture, and the first time a player must combat them. Eventually, [[Rayman]] finds where [[Ly]] is held, in an energy prison powered by a machine within a nearby chamber. [[Rayman]] destroys the machines, freeing [[Ly]]. [[Rayman]] tells [[Ly]] of his separation with [[Globox]], and his loss of powers. [[Ly]] is unable to restore [[Rayman]]'s powers, however, due to the explosion of [[The Heart of the World|the Primordial Core]]. [[Ly]] then tells [[Rayman]] of the [[Four Masks of Polokus]], through which [[Polokus]] can be awakened, and whose power is sufficient to destroy the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]]. [[Ly]] finally gives [[Rayman]] the power to swing on [[Purple Lum]]s, allowing [[Rayman]] to progress further. [[Rayman]] then sets out to collect the [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]], exiting [[The Fairy Glade|the Glade]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The first mask]]===
====[[The Marshlands]]====
[[File:R2TGE PC-Sssssam.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] freeing [[Ssssam]] in [[the Marshes of Awakening]].]]
[[Rayman]] next finds himself in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], where he frees [[Ssssam]] the Watersnake. While [[Ssssam]] is unable to aid [[Rayman]] in locating the [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks of Polokus]], he does know where the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]] took [[Globox]], and aids [[Rayman]] in crossing [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marsh]] by allowing him to water-ski across. There is also a side-path that the player may go through, where they will encounter [[Jano]], who is guarding a [[Spiral Door]]. At this point in time, he will refuse access to the door, as [[Rayman]] does not know where it leads, which is the requirement for passing through.

The next level is [[the Bayou]], a similar swampy location that [[Rayman]] must traverse on foot. [[Admiral Razorbeard]] is concerned by [[Rayman]]'s progress, and despatches several [[Warship]]s to destroy him. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] eats a [[Yellow Lum]], reducing the number of extant [[Yellow Lum]]s from 1000 to 999. At the beginning of the level is a side-path where [[Rayman]] can find a hologram of [[Ly]] the Fairy. If he has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, she will teleport him to a side-level called [[the Walk of Life]]. Although [[the Bayou]] is beset with [[Robo-Pirate]] [[Warship]]s and dangerous obstacles such as [[helicopter bomb]]s, [[Rayman]] makes it through the area unscathed.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]]====
[[Rayman]] approaches the entrance to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], the location in which the first of the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] is contained. He reunites with the [[Grand Minimus]], who inform him that he will not be allowed to enter without collecting a specific amount of [[Yellow Lum]]s, a requirement that is repeated in the entrances for the three other locations of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the masks]]. Once he has enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, [[Rayman]] is able to enter, and after fighting past some [[Robo-Pirate]] soldiers, and solving the puzzle to enter [[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]], he finds himself inside. Within [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice|the Sanctuary]], [[Rayman]] encounters the guardian of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first Mask]]; [[Axel]]. Using a chain of [[Purple Lum]]s to swing across the battle area, and dodging icicle projectiles thrown by [[Axel]], [[Rayman]] eventually triumphs over the guardian by causing an icicle to dislodge and impale [[Axel]]'s head.

With [[Axel]] dispatched, [[Rayman]] obtains [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]], which teleports him to the realm where [[Polokus]] slumbers. [[Polokus]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on his find, but urges him to move forward in his quest and collect [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]]. He then creates a [[Spiral Door]] to take [[Rayman]] back to [[the Hall of Doors]], allowing [[Rayman]] to continue.

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The second mask]]===
====Healing [[Clark]]====
[[File:Rayman meets Clark.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] meets [[Clark]] in [[the Menhir Hills]].]]
Beginning the search for [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]], [[Rayman]] finds himself in [[the Menhir Hills]], where he learns to tame and ride [[walking shell]]s. Moving further in, [[Rayman]] meets with [[Clark]] the Giant in the [[Elite Troop Training Center]], who has become ill after accidentally swallowing a [[Robo-Pirate]] part during a battle. He asks [[Rayman]] to retrieve the [[Elixir of Life]] from [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], and stresses to [[Rayman]] that he needs to remember the name in order to enter.

[[Rayman]] then returns to [[the Marshes of Awakening]], where [[Jano]] now allows [[Rayman]] to enter the [[Spiral Door]]. [[Rayman]] is hypnotised by [[Jano]] and then transported to [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], and is challenged to find the treasures within before [[Jano]] can catch him. [[Jano]] eventually meets with [[Rayman]] as he nears the treasure trove and gives chase, leading [[Rayman]] into a large corridor where he must avoid [[Jano]]'s attacks and use the skulls he emits to progress through. Eventually, he makes it to the treasure, where [[Jano]] congratulates [[Rayman]], and offers it to him. The player is then given the choice to accept or decline [[Jano]]'s offer, accepting will lead to a short cutscene depicting an overweight [[Rayman]] lounging on a small island, and an alleged "end" to the game. The cutscene ends by cutting back to the choice. Declining the offer will cause [[Rayman]] to be returned to the Marshes, and [[Jano]] will reward [[Rayman]] with the [[Elixir of Life]] for making the right choice and not succumbing to greed.

[[Rayman]] then returns to [[the Menhir Hills]], and gives the [[Elixir of Life|Elixir]] to [[Clark]]. [[Clark]] is reinvigorated, and helps [[Rayman]] progress further through the facility. [[Rayman]] then parts ways with [[Clark]] at the exit of the facility, and finally leaves [[the Menhir Hills]] via a [[walking shell]].

====Freeing [[Globox]] and [[Carmen]]====
[[Rayman]] reunites with [[Globox]] from within [[the Canopy]], which, true to its name, takes place within the higher levels of a deep forest. [[Rayman]] frees [[Globox]] from imprisonment by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s operating within the area, and [[Globox]] aids [[Rayman]] in traversing through the area, using his [[Rain Dance|rain-dance]] to destroy [[laser]] barriers or grow fauna that can aid [[Rayman]] in progressing. [[Globox]] also reveals that he received another [[Silver Lum]], which gives [[Rayman]] the ability to charge his [[magic fist]], greatly enhancing his offensive capabilities. After fighting past a [[Warship]] and tricking a [[Robo-Pirate]] into opening the exit by hiding within a bush, [[Rayman]] is able to leave the area. [[Globox]] remains behind, stating that his spouse, [[Uglette]], wishes to see him.

The next level is [[Whale Bay]], a watery location infested by [[Robo-Pirate]]s and [[piranha]]s. The benevolent whale, [[Carmen]], has been imprisoned in a [[laser]] cage by the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]], who plan to use her blubber to oil the engines of the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. [[Rayman]] frees her, and she releases [[air bubble]]s that allow him to accompany her underwater. Unfortunately the local [[piranha]]s want to steal the [[Air bubble|bubbles]] to ease their heartburn, so [[Rayman]] must frighten them off with his [[magic fist]] so that he can continue to breathe. Eventually [[Rayman]] completes his underwater passage and comes to the end of the level.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]]====
The next level is [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], the second of the game's Sanctuaries. This is a long and labyrinthine level, filled with secret passages, wrong turns and optional areas, including an entire temple that has no discernible purpose. [[Rayman]] spends a great deal of time on [[plum]]s, which can be used to cross the many lakes of lava. Eventually [[Rayman]] comes to a chamber containing a large blocky stone statue: this is [[Umber]], the guardian of [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. Unlike [[Axel]], [[Umber]] is pacifistic; he allows [[Rayman]] to stand on his head while he walks across a pool of lava, taking [[Rayman]] to the final chamber. It is shaped much the same as the chamber in which [[Rayman]] found [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]], with a raised platform on which sits a stone container. [[Rayman's symbol]] once again connects to the stone; it slides open, and [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]] emerges. [[Rayman]] takes it and once again is transported to [[Polokus]]'s domain. The god congratulates [[Rayman]], takes [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]], affixes it to his stone, and sends [[Rayman]] back to [[the Hall of Doors]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The third mask]]===
====Making Progress====
[[File:TheTopoftheWorldPC.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] arriving at [[the Top of the World]].]]
Now making his way to [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]], [[Rayman]] arrives at [[the Echoing Caves]], after activating four [[switch]]es in a non-linear area, he enters the caves themselves. Due to the large amounts of toxic liquid within the caves, [[Rayman]] lights [[keg]]s, and uses them to fly across the caves to solid footing. [[Rayman]] may also encounter an entryway, leading him into a secret area within [[the Fairy Glade]], where he can break a [[cage]] that cannot be broken by normal visit. [[Rayman]] returns and finally exits [[the Echoing Caves]], with a [[Warship]] flying in the background, preluding the events of the next area.

[[Admiral Razorbeard]] learns of [[Rayman]]'s progress, and has [[Warship]]s sent to stop him. [[Rayman]] encounters and must flee the [[Warship]]s from within [[the Precipice]], a mountainous region that can succumb to flooding, and can contain vast caverns within. [[Rayman]] is able to elude the [[Warship]]s, and moves on to [[the Top of the World]]. The area contains a [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]] Fort, but it cannot be accessed via conventional means, as such, [[Rayman]] rides upon a [[Rollercoaster Challenge|rollercoaster-esque]] transport, dodging obstacles that are within the path of the coaster, which can cause [[Rayman]] to despawn. Making it into the Fortress, [[Rayman]] fights past many [[Barrel Pirate]]s, and eventually exits the area.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]]====
Much like the prior [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]], [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]] is contained within a Sanctuary, this one being [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. [[Rayman]] finds himself in a marshy area, which he must traverse through in order to reach [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary]] itself. Within the marshy area is the entrance to [[the Walk of Power]], a [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]] that can be accessed if the player has obtained enough [[Yellow Lum]]s, much like [[the Walk of Life]]. After traversing through the marshes, [[Rayman]] finds himself within [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary]] itself, and progresses forward. However, [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] is not located within the area, and [[Rayman]] heads [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|beneath the Sanctuary]] instead.

[[Ly]] meets with [[Rayman]] beneath the Sanctuary, and tells [[Rayman]] that she has gathered enough energy to grant him the [[Super helicopter]] ability, allowing him to fly as opposed to simply gliding with his hair. She informs [[Rayman]] that traversing through the area will be difficult, and tells him to use the [[Super helicopter]] to move through the area. Using this ability, [[Rayman]] is able to reach the end of the area, where he encounters [[Foutch]]. [[Foutch]] promptly hits [[Rayman]], causing him to lose the [[Super helicopter]] power, and fall. [[Rayman]] finds footing within a circular pathway, and is chased by [[Foutch]], who wishes to burn [[Rayman]] by throwing flames at him. [[Rayman]] is able to use spiderwebs to bounce high enough to reach stalactites positioned in bridges above the pathway. These stalactites will impale [[Foutch]] when shot at, allowing [[Rayman]] to triumph over the guardian. A [[Purple Lum]] then appears, allowing [[Rayman]] to reach the bridges, which lead to [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]]. [[Rayman]] is transported to [[Polokus]] and gives [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]] to him, and [[Polokus]] creates a [[Spiral Door]] to allow [[Rayman]] to move on and locate [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth and final mask]].

===[[Four Masks of Polokus|The fourth mask]]===
====Reuniting with [[Clark]]====
[[File:Spyglass Pirate controlling Clark.jpg|320px|thumb|right|The [[Spyglass pirate]] forces [[Clark]] to attack [[Rayman]].]]
[[Rayman]] next enters the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], where a sign alerts the player to the capture of [[Clark]] and his imprisonment in the [[Technical Check-up]], which is located within the area. The [[Tomb of the Ancients]] is notable for having secret passages, with one leading to the [[1000th Yellow Lum]], another allowing the player to skip through a large section of the level, and another that can only be legitimately accessed in the Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS version]] of the game, nicknamed the [[Tomb of the Ancients secret]]. Once the player has reached the end of the level, it is revealed that the [[Robo-Pirate]]s have been able to bring [[Clark]] under their control using a device implanted into his back. The [[Spyglass Pirate]] is shown demonstrating his control over [[Clark]], before control is returned to the player, who must break the device. Once the device is broken, [[Clark]] lifts [[Rayman]] high enough to break the [[cage]] containing the [[Teensie]] to exit the level, and consequently exits the area.

====Obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]]====
Finally, [[Rayman]] makes it to [[the Iron Mountains]], where he traverses through various [[Robo-Pirate]] installations contained within the area. The area itself contains areas of differing themes, including swamps, rapids, an island and finally some [[Pirate Mines|mines]]. During his travels in the area, he comes across the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]], guarded by a [[Robot Dinosaur]]. [[Rayman]] infiltrates the facility and frees the captive [[baby Globox]]es within, before using a [[walking shell]] to reach the mines.

Within the mines, [[Rayman]] encounters [[Uglette]], who is in despair over the loss of her [[Baby Globox|babies]], who are being used as labour in the [[Pirate Mines|mines]], and [[Globox]], who in the defense of their [[Baby Globox|babies]] has been captured and sent to the [[Buccaneer|Pirate's Prison Ship]]. [[Rayman]] calms [[Uglette]] and promises to free [[Baby Globox|her children]], making use of a nearby [[Warship]] to travel to each mine and to allow the [[Baby Globox|babies]] to leave. Once he has visited all the mines, [[Rayman]] returns and reunites the [[Baby Globox|babies]] with [[Uglette]]. [[Uglette]] and [[Baby Globox|her children]] then board the [[Warship]] to leave, but one of [[Baby Globox|the children]] passes off [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] to [[Rayman]], stating that they had found it within the [[Pirate Mines|mines]]. [[Rayman]] says his goodbyes to the [[Globox]] family, and departs to [[Polokus]].

[[Polokus]] congratulates [[Rayman]], takes [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] and attaches it to the remaining side of his four-sides stone column. The stone begins to spin rapidly, blurring until it is transfigured into a transparent, glowing portal. [[Polokus]] tells [[Rayman]] that, now that he has been awakened, he can destroy all of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s in [[the Glade of Dreams]], but says that he has no power in the air – [[Rayman]] himself must confront [[Admiral Razorbeard]] on board the flying ''[[Buccaneer]]''. [[Rayman]] steps into [[Polokus]]'s portal; his health is increased to maximum, and he is transported to [[the Hall of Doors]].

===The ending===
====Infiltrating [[the Prison Ship]]====
A [[The General|Salesman]] visits [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], and pitches the [[Grolgoth]] as the solution to the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]]'s problem with [[Rayman]]. After some consideration, [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] accepts the [[Grolgoth]], setting the circumstances for the final confrontation with [[Rayman]]. In the meantime, [[Rayman]] infiltrates [[the Prison Ship]], the largest of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirate]] Vessels and fortress in its own right. [[Rayman]] initially finds himself sliding through floors and tunnels within the bowels of the ship, but is able to acquire a [[flying shell]], which he uses to progress even further through the ships' interior chambers.

In most versions, excluding those based off the PC and Nintendo 64, a cutscene will play once the level is completed for the first time. It shows [[Rayman]] freeing the captives within [[the Prison Ship]], who are then urged to leave, while [[Rayman]] makes his final approach to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] himself.

====The Final Battle====
[[File:TheCrowsNestPC.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] battling [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in the [[Grolgoth]].]]
The [[Spyglass Pirate]] gives his final update on [[Rayman]]'s progress to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], informing him of [[Rayman]]'s success in freeing their captives, and his infiltration of the ship. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] punishes [[Spyglass Pirate|the Spyglass]] for his failure, having him swim in molten lava, but not before preparing the [[Grolgoth]] to fight [[Rayman]]. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] has the [[Grolgoth]] set up in [[the Crow's Nest]] of [[the Prison Ship]], and lures [[Rayman]] to him by having the captured [[Globox]] as the [[Grolgoth]]'s first target. [[Rayman]] arrives at the nest to defend [[Globox]], but [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] shoots down the structure holding [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] in place. [[Rayman]] is able to grab the ledge of [[the Crow's Nest]], and climbs up, unharmed. [[Globox]] is left dangling on the side of [[the Crow's Nest]], but assures [[Rayman]] that he is fine, and to go fight [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]].

The fight against the [[Grolgoth]] has two phases, the initial phase has [[Rayman]] dodge various attacks from the [[Grolgoth]], but knock back the [[helicopter bomb]]s it produces to trip the machine up. This continues until the [[Grolgoth]] has tripped thrice, after which [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] attempts to crush [[Rayman]] by jumping onto him with the [[Grolgoth]]. The attack fails, and [[the Crow's Nest]] collapsing, causing both the [[Grolgoth]] and [[Rayman]] to fall into a lava filled chamber. [[Rayman]] is saved from falling into the lava due to a [[Silver Lum]] that [[Ly]] generated from afar. The [[Silver Lum|Lum]] guides [[Rayman]] to a safe platform, in which [[Rayman]] is able to mount a [[flying shell]]. [[Ly]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on his performance thus far, and informs him of the complete defeat of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s on [[the Glade of Dreams]], tasking [[Rayman]] to complete their victory by defeating [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]. [[Rayman]] then sees that the [[Grolgoth]] has survived the fall also, and the second phase of the battle commences. In this phase, [[Rayman]] uses the [[flying shell]] to manoeuvre round a chamber, or tunnel in the PlayStation version. [[Rayman]] is able to shoot down the [[Grolgoth]], using ammunition scattered within the chamber, in the PlayStation version, he instead causes [[helicopter bomb]]s and homing missiles to deflect back to the [[Grolgoth]], damaging it.

====Victory====
Eventually, the [[Grolgoth]] is rendered inoperative, and [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] flees the ship, but not before setting off a self-destruct within the [[Grolgoth]], which causes [[the Prison Ship]] to detonate and be destroyed, with [[Rayman]] still inside.

[[Rayman]]'s friends assume that [[Rayman]] has fallen. [[Ly]] the Fairy, [[Clark]], [[Murfy]], the [[Grand Minimus]], [[Globox]], [[Polokus]], [[Uglette]] and three [[baby Globox]]es, all gather in [[Polokus]]'s domain for a memorial service. They could only recover [[Rayman]]'s [[Crazy Shoe|left shoe]], however, the [[Crazy Shoe|shoe]] suddenly appears to react to an oncoming presence, as a limping, one-footed [[Rayman]] emerges from the woods nearby, much to the joy of everyone present. His [[Crazy Shoe|shoe]] rejoins his body and he looks up at all his friends, last of all [[Ly]], while hugging the [[baby Globox]]es. Fireworks are launched in celebration, and a message is displayed congratulating [[Rayman]] on his feats. The harmony of [[the Glade of Dreams]] has been restored and [[the Heart of the World]] has been pieced back together. The game ends with the message, ‘Now rest, you may have to fight again. Who knows what tomorrow will bring...’, referencing the next game, ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The end credits sequence shows [[Admiral Razorbeard]]'s escape pod fleeing through the depths of space.

===2D Game===
''Main article: [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)]]''

''Rayman 2'' was first developed to be a 2D sidescrolling platform game similar to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and was planned to be released on the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.<ref>Unseen64.com, ''Rayman 2 [2D version - Unreleased]'', http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/11/rayman2-2d-cancelled</ref> Screenshots, videos and interviews indicate that the game would still involve an invasion of robots from space. The game featured enemies similar to the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and it also featured background platforming - using a device similar to a shower head and a toilet flush, [[Rayman]] could teleport from the foreground to the background (and vice-versa). One video in particular also featured [[Betilla]] the Fairy, and showed her imprisoned in a cell.

This 2D game was cancelled in favour of the 3D version it became, though a playable prototype (version 01.12d) featuring one level is included in the [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']], and is unlocked if the player collects at least 720 [[Yellow Lum]]s out of the version's total 800. It was discovered that this prototype was last worked on on May 31, 1996 and was sent to the ''PlayStation RayMan 2 team'' so that they could incorporate one of its levels into their version of the game.

===''Rayman's training''===
''Main article: [[Rayman's training]]''

[[File:Rayman training.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A screenshot of ''[[Rayman's training]]'', showcasing [[Rayman]]'s original 3D model.]]

In-between the development of the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D game]] and the 3D game, a CGI short film for the game titled ''[[Rayman's training]]'' was created in 1998 and subsequently premiered in February 1st for Imagina 1998, following a trailer for ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''. ''[[Rayman's training]]'' is notable for being the "missing link" between the two stages of ''Rayman 2'''s development, and is known for clips of it being used in the 1998 E3 trailer for the 3D game. Characters from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype]] appear in the short, along with [[Rayman]] having a older 3D model in use. Not much is known about the short's plot, and it has not been released in any form.

''[[Rayman's training]]'' was considered lost media until March 12 2022, when a version of the video with no sound was uploaded to YouTube. Until then, only clips of the short film were seen scattered across various ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' ephemera from 1997 - 1998.

===3D game===
''Main article: [[Rayman 2 (early production)]]''
Not much is currently known about [[Rayman 2 (early production)|the development of the 3D game]] that eventually became the final ''Rayman 2'', however, from pre-release screenshots and footage, it is clear that level designs underwent significant evolution, and the HUD was at one point drastically different to the HUD seen in the final game. Recent texture hacking led to the discovery of more pre-release elements, textures for a third red coloured [[Magic Sphere]] and its pyramid base were located, it is unknown why these textures went unused and where the objects they represented were meant to be placed. Despite not being used in the game itself, they can be made to replace the other used colourations via texture hacking.

A lot of changes have also been seen in early trailer and interviews for the game. At one point [[Purple Lum]]s were going to have a completely different design resembling the other [[Lum]]s seen in the game.<ref>YouTube.com, Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn_UYduONuA</ref> A video showing an early version of the Nintendo 64 version reveals an unused area most likely located in [[the Prison Ship]]. It closely resembles the alternative path that can be taken in the same level to fill up [[Rayman]]'s health.<ref>YouTube.com, Unused area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCZ10RrA_5Q</ref> Other trailers show more open levels suggesting ''Rayman 2'' was at one point going to go in a more non-linear direction.<ref>YouTube.com, Early trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KujjiLYaW8</ref>

==Gameplay==
[[File:R2 Lum.png|320px|thumb|right|[[Yellow Lum]]s are the main item in the game.]]

The gameplay in ''Rayman 2'' is similar to that of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], translated into a 3D world. Most of the gameplay consists of running, jumping, climbing, gliding and flying between platforms and other surfaces, interspersed with battle sequences with [[Robo-Pirate]]s and other enemies. A new element of gameplay is [[swimming]], which is present in some of the levels.

Contrary to [[Rayman 1|the original game]], this time [[Rayman]] starts with a few powers, such as [[helicopter]]ing and a basic attack power, which is given to him by [[Globox]] who is introduced at the very beginning. Additional powers, some permanent and others temporary, are unlocked during the natural course of the game, similarly to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].

The aim of the game is to defeat [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and his [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and, by doing so, restore order to the world. Along the way, [[Rayman]] will locate and reassemble [[Yellow Lum]]s that have been scattered following the explosion of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]], and rescue creatures that have been imprisoned in [[cage]]s. However, unlike in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], ''Rayman 2'' has no strict requirement to obtain all [[Yellow Lum]]s/[[cage]]s to finish the game, probably in order to make the game less difficult. A certain number of [[Yellow Lum]]s is required to advance past specific points, but this number is typically substantially lower than the number of [[Yellow Lum]]s available prior to that, and is easily obtainable during normal play. Some [[cage]]s are also obligatory, as they contain creatures vital to completions of levels (typically, [[Teensie]]s), and these [[cage]]s are always in plain sight and impossible to miss.

Overall, far less backtracking and secret-hunting is required to complete the game, but the player is rewarded for breaking [[cage]]s, as every 10 [[cage]]s freed extend [[Rayman]]'s life bar. Additionally, completing a level with all [[Yellow Lum]]s and [[cage]]s obtained gives access to a [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]], where a [[baby Globox]] can help [[Rayman]] replenish his life bar or gain a [[Power Fist]].

===Replays===
Once completed, a level can be replayed an unlimited number of times. Similarly to [[Rayman 1|the original game]], collectibles ([[Yellow Lum]]s and [[cage]]s) that have already been found do not reappear. Bosses, special characters and cutscenes are also usually skipped, making most levels much shorter, easier and emptier during replays. The [[baby Globox]] [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus levels]] are still offered on subsequent level completions, so [[Rayman]] can always restore his powers.

One difference from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] is that the final battle with [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in [[the Crow's Nest]] can be replayed.

==Game records==
''Main article: [https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/List_of_Rayman_records#Rayman_2 List of Rayman records]''

''Rayman 2'' has two [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus levels]] that are present in all versions. The [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version]] has significant differences made, and the peed is slightly different as well, and the PlayStation 2 version, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', has the levels as part of unlockable minigames rather than bonuses, where the player has to collect all [[Red Lum]]s.

==Main characters==
===The good guys===
*[[Rayman]] – The hero and protagonist of the game.
*[[Globox]] – [[Rayman]]'s best friend; husband of [[Uglette]] and father of the [[baby Globox]]es.
*[[Ly]] the Fairy – [[Rayman]]'s friend and powerful ally.
*[[Murfy]] – Serves as an ‘instructor’-type character.
*[[Teensie|The Teensies]] – Keepers of [[the Hall of Doors]].
*[[Clark]] the Giant – A friend of [[Rayman]]'s.
*[[Ssssam]] – a snake who helps [[Rayman]] cross [[the Marshes of Awakening]].

===The bad guys===
*[[Admiral Razorbeard]] – The main villain of the game.
*[[Robo-Pirate]] army – [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]'s army.
*[[Jano]] – The guardian of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].
*[[Piranha]]s, [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]]s, [[Zombie Chicken]]s – Twisted creatures that began to proliferate as a result of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' disruption of the natural balance.
*[[Caterpillar (disambiguation)|Caterpillars]], [[Jumping eye]]s and [[Mini Jano]] – Nightmares of [[Polokus]] escaped from [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].

==Environment==
[[File:Rayman2 map.jpg|320px|thumb|right|A physical ''Rayman 2'' map that came with various copies of the game.]]
Unlike [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], ''Rayman 2'' is not divided into certain themed worlds, but rather a trail of 20 different locations, none of which are as surreal as its predecessor's, but are still dissimilar to the real world. The levels are played in a linear fashion in a world map known as [[the Hall of Doors]] ([[the Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast version), with most levels following a single path (though [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], [[the Walk of Life]], and [[the Walk of Power]] are on side-paths). The player is able to backtrack to past levels if he or she wishes, and can move on to the final stage without breaking all of the [[cage]]s.

In [[Rayman Revolution|the PlayStation 2 remake]], [[the Hall of Doors]] is replaced by free-roaming hub areas in a place known as [[the Front]]. There are three of these areas, [[the Minisaurus Plain]], [[Globox's House]] and [[Rainbow Creek]], each of which has a [[Teensie Circle]] for quick access to completed levels.

* A level from [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled 2D prototype]] ([[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version]] only)

==Version differences==
Since its original release in 1999, ''Rayman 2'' has received a bunch of ports to other platforms, with each new port having some noticeable differences.

===Sega Dreamcast===
The Sega Dreamcast version retains the high quality textures from the PC version, while slightly improving some. A new area has been added in [[the Woods of Light]] called [[Globox Village]], where the player can access new minigames by collecting [[Glob Crystal|Globox Crystals]]. This is the first version of ''Rayman 2'' to allow for widescreen and the only version where the aspect ratio can manually be changed. [[The Hall of Doors]] has been replaced by [[the Isle of Doors]]. Several more [[Robo-Pirate]]s have been added as well as a new type that shoots bombs. This is also the first version to have the cutscene in [[the Prison Ship]] where [[Rayman]] frees the prisoners, which was cut from the original versions due to time constraints.

Some levels do, however, have several new areas and some cutscenes have been changed as well. This is the first version to have full voice acting. Many graphical changes are present, most notably in [[the Hall of Doors]]. A new bonus level can be unlocked that lets the player try a stage from [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the 2D prototype]]. Instead of [[Lum]]s being imprisoned in [[cage]]s, there are now [[Ludiv]]s, [[Greenbottle]]s and [[Minisaurus]].

This version was later re-released on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

==Manuals==
{{quote|text=Panic in [[the Chamber of the Teensies]] and [[the Fairy Council]]: [[Robo-Pirate]]s from deep in space have arrived, determined to conquer and enslave their entire world. The time for combat has come. Volunteers form small resistance groups and throw themselves into battle with the evil aggressors. [[Rayman]] and his friend [[Globox]] go to the edge of [[the Great Forest]], where the highest number of [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] are located.

[[Rayman]] jumps from a tree and activates his [[helicopter]] for a soft landing in the middle of a thicket of bushes. "The [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]] are coming straight at us!", cries [[Rayman]] to his friend. "Get ready!"

The earth suddenly begins to tremble...Several trees collapse, creating a passageway for an army of robots.
The Battle begins! [[Rayman]] leaps into action, sending metal monsters flying with his powerful energy spheres. A little later, [[Globox]], trembling with fright, desperately tries to make the robots rust up by creating little [[Rain dance|rain storms]] over their heads. A robot, creaking horribly, crashes to the ground. "Not bad, [[Globox]]!" shouts [[Rayman]] with a smile.
[[Globox]] tries to answer, but [[Rayman]] doesn't hear. The strained face of [[Ly]] has just appeared in his mind.
"[[Rayman]]...", begins [[Ly]], in a weary voice., "The pirates have broken [[the Heart of the World]]. The energy has scattered. Other than [[Clark]], all of our brave warriors have been captured..."

Shocked by this terrible news, [[Rayman]] is surprised by a gigantic robot who pins him between its powerful pinchers. He tries to create a new [[Magic fist|energy sphere]] in the palm of his hand, but to no avail. The destruction of the [[The Heart of the World|Primordial Core]] has
taken away all of his powers...
Desparate, he shouts to his friend... "They've got me, [[Globox]]! Save Yourself!"
"But...but...what about you?!"
"No time to explain! Go find [[Ly]], she'll tell you what to do!"
After a moment of hesitation, [[Globox]] dodges between the feet of the robots, and plunges into the high grass.

An evil laugh reverberates. [[Rayman]] turns and sees [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], the leader of the [[Robo-Pirate|Pirates]].
"I have you, [[Rayman]]! You'll soon be my most obedient slave!..."

[[Rayman]] tries to free himself, but the iron grip of the robot tightens around him. He casts a dark look at [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] and shouts defiantly : " It's not over yet, pirate! I'll find a way to escape and then I'll make you wish you'd never been born!"|sign=Manual|source=''Rayman 2''}}

==Promotion==
[[Ubisoft]] promoted ''Rayman 2'' with many toys and even a cartoon. There were YoYos, cell phone covers, a PlayStation 2 remote, a version of the game with a figure, and Happy Meal toys.

===Cartoon===
''Main article: [[Rayman: The Animated Series]]

In 1999, an animated television show based on the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] was produced to accompany the release of ''Rayman 2''. Only 4 episodes of the first season were released before being cancelled.

===McDonald's===
''Main article: [[Rayman merchandising]]''

Between the 17th of May and 13th of June 2000, [[Ubisoft]] joined with McDonald's to make a Happy Meal with [[Rayman]] toys. These toys were a [[Rayman]] riding a [[walking shell]], [[Rayman]] on a [[plum]] with spinning [[Helicopter|helicopter hair]], a light-up [[cage]], a sound-making [[Henchman 800]], a wobbling [[Globox]] and [[Ly]] the Fairy. The toys were only available in France.

[[File:Royal V.jpg|320px|thumb|right|Royal V's album ''"It's Good to be the King"''.]]

===''[[Tonic Trouble]]''===
Characters from each game made cameo appearances in the other game. In ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', [[Rayman]] can be seen during the game's end credits. In ''Rayman 2'', [[The General|a salesman]] who previously appeared in the intro sequence of the PC version of ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' sells the [[Grolgoth]] to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] late in the game. ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' was worked on (though not designed) by [[Michel Ancel]], used the ''Rayman 2'' engine, originally appeared on the same platforms as ''Rayman 2'', and was also released by [[Ubisoft]], giving reason for the crossovers, though ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' had not fared well critically or commercially, whereas ''Rayman 2'' became successful in both areas.

===Royal V===
The musical group Royal V released an album with a bonus music dedicated to ''Rayman 2'', under the name of ''"It's Good to be the King"''. The official videoclip<ref>Royal V video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0ZCAq5DiuU</ref> features unique footage of [[Rayman 2 (early production)|scrapped areas]] of the game.

===Mobile spin-offs===
''[[Rayman Bowling]]'', ''[[Rayman Golf]]'' and ''[[Rayman Garden]]'' are mobile phone spin-offs of ''Rayman 2'' and its remakes developed by [[Gameloft]].

==Reception==
''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' was released to critical acclaim. On Metacritic, the N64 version of the game received a score of 90%, signifying universal acclaim.<ref>Metacritic.com, ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape for Nintendo 64 Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic'', http://www.metacritic.com/game/nintendo-64/rayman-2-the-great-escape</ref> On GameRankings, the Dreamcast, Windows, N64 and PlayStation versions of the game were assigned scores of 92.71%, 91.27%, 88.83% and 87.23% respectively.<ref>GameRankings.com, ''Reviews and News Articles'', http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?search=rayman&numrev=3&site=</ref>

The game has been included on several lists of the greatest games of all time. IGN rated it as the 67th-greatest game.

{{quote|text=Platform gaming has long been known for jumping, bopping enemies, and collecting items. ''Rayman 2'' broke no new grounds in these areas, but instead perfected them as no other game had before. Starring a [[Rayman|character with no arms, legs or neck]], ''Rayman 2'' is a demonstration of what the modern platform game could be – smart, fast and challenging.|sign=IGN staff|source=IGN<ref>IGN.com ''IGN's Top 100 Games'', http://ie.top100.ign.com/2005/061-070.html</ref>}}

GameSpot staff member Ryan Davis wrote an article on the game for the site's 'Greatest Games of All Time' series.

{{quote|text=The gameplay was great, but, truly, it was the presentation of ''Rayman 2'' that brought the whole package together. This was a game created by artists, not technicians, and its use of crisp, clear, beautifully crafted textures over relatively simple 3D objects is a testament to that. This isn't to say that ''Rayman 2'' wasn't technically impressive at the time, because its massive 3D environments proved it certainly was that, but the creators of ''Rayman 2'' wanted to awe you with the surreal, vivid world they had created, instead of showing you some nifty technical tricks. The lush, slightly off-kilter musical score certainly helped perpetuate this dreamy reality, as did the nonsense languages that the inhabitants of ''The Great Escape'' spoke.

''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' is more than the sum of its parts, though its parts are admittedly a bit impressive on their own. Its European roots show through – as do [[Rayman]] creator/designer [[Michel Ancel]]'s interests in Nordic and Celtic mysticism – and lend the affair a flavour that has not been replicated since. Simply put, you will not have another video game experience quite like ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'', which is why we chose it as one of the greatest games of all time.

For my money, 3D platforming reached its absolute apex in ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''. I played through ''The Great Escape'' on the PC. Then I played through ''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' on the PlayStation 2. And each time my experience with ''Rayman 2'' had been simply sublime. It's an amazingly well-crafted platformer, providing a variety of play that most modern platformers can't match. But what stays with me the most, over time, is [[the Glade of Dreams|the beautiful, surreal world]] that ''Rayman 2'' takes place in. I've not had a 3D platforming experience that good, before or since.|sign=Ryan Gage|source=GameSpot<ref>GameSpot.com, ''The Greatest Games of All Time'', http://uk.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/all/greatestgames/p-24.html</ref>}}

Hi folks!

Thanks for playing my demo ! But remember, you've only seen a very small part of the whole game.

If you want to finish the dream forest, scale the blue mountains, rock through band land, and take a peek at picture city ... not to mention getting the evil mr dark and his cronies in candy chateau... then get your hands on a copy of the full version of rayman.

It is available now at stores everywhere.

List of Rayman demos

2022-07-10T15:55:25Z

RibShark: /* Rayman 3 */

What follows is a '''list of every ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' demo''' available and the content they include.

The list does not include developer builds (like prototypes) and unpublic demos (like press demos). Repeated names are in fact different demos.

'''(?)''' means that this disc includes an existing but unchecked demo.

== Sony PlayStation ==
=== ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' ===
*'''Availability:'''
** Japanese DemoDemo PlayStation Vol. 3
*'''Content:'''
** [[The Dream Forest]] (single unknown level)
** [[Blue Mountains]] (single unknown level)
*'''Notable differences:'''
** The world map is the same as from the Atari Jaguar beta version with an [[Electoon]] moving on the map. There is also a point on the [[Floating present|giant, floating present]], although it can't be accessed.
** In the files, [[Band Land]] is referred to as Chromatic Skies and [[Picture City]] as Image City—almost literal translations of the original French names ''Le Ciel Chromatique'' and ''La Cité des Images''.
** Early loading screen images are used. The one for the [[Blue Mountains]] shows [[Mr Stone]] throwing the boulder at [[Rayman]].
** Early sequenced music is used.
** When falling from high places [[Rayman]] will appear stunned.
** The [[Life|lives]] counter displays a single digit.
** Rather than getting [[Electoon]] markers on a [[medallion]] upon breaking a [[cage]] the player now has to collect the [[Electoon]]s from it with a separate counter being available for that, replacing the [[ting]]s.
** The [[Big Power]]s use an incorrect palette for parts of their animation.

Hi folks!

Thanks for playing my demo ! But remember, you've only seen a very small part of the whole game.

If you want to finish the dream forest, scale the blue mountains, rock through band land, and take a peek at picture city ... not to mention getting the evil mr dark and his cronies in candy chateau... then get your hands on a copy of the full version of rayman.

It is available now at stores everywhere.

Wheelis

2021-07-25T21:31:04Z

RibShark:

[[Image:Wheelis.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Wheelis.]]

'''Wheelis''' is a four-player minigame exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. It is unlocked once the player has reached 350,000 or more total score. In order to play Wheelis, the players must connect two GameCube controllers and two Game Boy Advance consoles to the GameCube.

==Description==
In terms of gameplay, Wheelis is extremely similar to the two-player minigame [[Mad Trax]], which is also a GameCube-version exclusive. In [[Mad Trax]], the player with the GameCube controller plays as a tiny [[Rayman]] in his [[Crazy Shoe]], while the player with the Game Boy Advance controls an off-screen [[Globox]], who holds the race course in his hand and lays the track for the other player to cross by arranging blocks in a ''Tetris''-like minigame. In Wheelis, there are four players instead of two. The players are divided into two teams of two, each team with one GameCube player and one Game Boy Advance player. The first team still consists of [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]]; the second team consists of [[Gumsi]] (in another [[Crazy Shoe]]) and an off-screen character (possibly [[Reflux]]) who lays the track for [[Gumsi]]. Each Game Boy Advance player must play a ''Tetris''-like minigame, laying blocks to construct a path which is driven along by their teammate, as well as destroying meteors that may block the way with [[Shock Rocket|Missiles]]. The characters in the [[Crazy Shoe]]s must race to the finish as fast as possible while staying on the platforms and reaching checkpoints. Falling off the platforms will respawn the racer at the last checkpoint.

RibShark: No gems in Wheelis, just a pure race to the finish.

[[Image:Wheelis.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Wheelis.]]

'''Wheelis''' is a four-player minigame exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. It is unlocked once the player has reached 350,000 or more total score. In order to play Wheelis, the players must connect two GameCube controllers and two Game Boy Advance consoles to the GameCube.

==Description==
In terms of gameplay, Wheelis is extremely similar to the two-player minigame [[Mad Trax]], which is also a GameCube-version exclusive. In [[Mad Trax]], the player with the GameCube controller plays as a tiny [[Rayman]] in his [[Crazy Shoe]], while the player with the Game Boy Advance controls an off-screen [[Globox]], who holds the race course in his hand and lays the track for the other player to cross by arranging blocks in a ''Tetris''-like minigame. In Wheelis, there are four players instead of two. The players are divided into two teams of two, each team with one GameCube player and one Game Boy Advance player. The first team still consists of [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]]; the second team consists of [[Gumsi]] (in another [[Crazy Shoe]]) and an off-screen character (possibly [[Reflux]]) who lays the track for [[Gumsi]]. Each Game Boy Advance player must play a ''Tetris''-like minigame, laying blocks to construct a path which is driven along by their teammate, as well as destroying meteors that may block the way with [[Missiles]]. The characters in the [[Crazy Shoe]]s must race to the finish as fast as possible while staying on the platforms and reaching checkpoints. Falling off the platforms will respawn the racer at the last checkpoint.

Wanna Kick Rayman

RibShark: /* Episodes */

{{Game
| name = Wanna Kick Rayman
| image = [[File:Wanna kick Rayman.JPG|center|180px]]
| published by = [[Ubisoft]]
| developed by = [[Ubisoft]]
| genre = Instruction video
}}

[[File:Hoodlumwaiting.JPG|thumb|200px|right|A [[Hoodmonger]] waiting for his victim.]]

'''''Wanna Kick Rayman''''' is a fictional series of 547 Video and DVD episodes created by the [[Hoodlum]]s to train themselves against [[Rayman]] and can be viewed in the extras menu in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. Each episode starts with a fictional "buy 546 get 1 free!" offer, followed by the main content. The videos show creative and odd ways that a [[Hoodblaster]] devises to beat up an animal that has the role of [[Rayman]]. The victims are dressed with a shirt in the style of Rayman and sometimes with a kitchen glove on their heads that resembles Rayman's hair. Sometimes the animals prevail and manage to defeat the [[Hoodmonger]]. There are eleven known episodes that are included with Rayman 3.

==List of involved animals==
The animals change in every episode. Here's a list of the animals that are involved.
* [[Squabs]]: They appear in ''Lesson 007/073/100'' and ''Lesson 134''
* Shaved [[Bonton]]s: They appear in ''Lesson 069'', ''Lesson 169'' ''Lesson 273'', ''Lesson 312'' and ''Lesson 502 (version 2)/512''
* Unnamed fat bees: They appear in ''Lesson 219'', ''Lesson 408'' and ''Lesson 502 (version 1)''

==Episodes==
* ''Lesson 007/073/100'': A [[Squab]] is led to the [[Hoodmonger]] with a transport machine. The Hoodmonger puts on a black robe like James Bond and picks up a gun. After accidentally losing the gun he actives a device on his wrist and uses it against his victim. The Squab is cooked until it becomes a roast chicken. In the Rayman 3 Press Kit, this lesson is known as ''Lesson 007'' as a reference to James Bond. On the GameCube version, this lesson is known as ''Lesson 073''. On every other version, this lesson is known as ''Lesson 100''.
* ''Lesson 069'': A [[Bonton]] is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine. The Hoodmonger shows his private parts to the [[Bonton]], making it faint. Under the Hoodmonger's clothes is revealed to be a [[Bonton]] head. This lesson can only be found on the European GameCube and PS2 releases. On the North American releases, this lesson does not exist. On every other version, ''Lesson 502 (version 2)/512'' is mislabeled in the menu as ''Lesson 069''.
* ''Lesson 134'': A [[Squab]] is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine. The Hoodlum puts a battery inside it, and turns it on and off until the Squab explodes.
* ''Lesson 169'': A [[Bonton]] is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine. The Hoodmonger shows his private parts to the [[Bonton]], making it faint. Under the Hoodmonger's clothes is revealed to be a [[Black Lum]]. This lesson can only be found on either the European or North American GameCube release.
* ''Lesson 219'': A fat bee is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine. The Hoodmonger blows into it, inflating it. He lets the bee go, causing it to fly until it crashes into the camera.
* ''Lesson 273'': A [[Bonton]] is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine. The Hoodlum picks a little hammer and the victim starts laughing because of the dimensions of the weapon. Then the hammer increases in size and the Hoodblaster starts beating the [[Bonton]] continuously until the victim's eye squirts out.
* ''Lesson 312'': A [[Bonton]] is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine. Then the Hoodmonger transforms into a wizard and starts converting the victim into various objects (a toilet, a teapot and Rayman dressed as a ballerina). In the end the [[Bonton]] is transformed into a Hoodmonger that shoots the other.
* ''Lesson 321'': The Hoodmonger presses a button to call the transport machine, but nothing happens. He starts pressing the button continuously until the transport machine crashes into him, making him fly off-screen.
* ''Lesson 408'': A fat bee is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine, but the victim doesn't come off from it. The Hoodmonger starts chasing the machine. Finally, he succeeds in catching the bee and drops it onto the ground making it lose an eye.
* ''Lesson 502 (version 1)'': A fat bee is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine. The Hoodmonger throws his victim into a nearby toilet, cramming it down with a plunger, and finally flushes it.
* ''Lesson 502 (version 2)/Lesson 512'': A [[Bonton]] is led to the Hoodmonger with a transport machine. The Hoodmonger drinks a [[plum juice]] cocktail then starts kissing the victim. At the end the [[Bonton]]'s eyes are swallowed by him. In the GameCube version, this lesson is named ''Lesson 512''. In the Rayman 3 Press Kit, this lesson is named ''Lesson 502''. In versions of Rayman 3 other than the GameCube and European PS2 versions, this lesson is mistitled ''Lesson 069'' in the menu, while in the video it shares its name with ''Lesson 502 (version 1)''. This mistake occurred when the press kit version of this lesson was used instead of ''Lesson 069''. Should this lesson have been properly added in those versions, it would have been titled ''Lesson 503''.

==References==
*In ''Lesson 007/073/100'', the [[Hoodmonger]] puts on a suit and bow tie and uses a built-in laser in his watch to zap the animal. This is in reference to the James Bond series.
*In ''Lesson 312'', the [[Hoodmonger]] puts on a black robe, a wizard's hat and a wand to turn the animal into different things. This is a reference to the Harry Potter films.
*The only version of the game to include every video available is the European GameCube version.

Rayman's training

2021-02-01T17:53:08Z

RibShark: Almost certain the "dynamite" character is actually a punching bag

{{Game
| name = Rayman's training
| image = [[Image:R2E3.png|center|320px|Rayman 2's E3 Trailer endscreen]]
| published by = [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]]
| release date = February 1st, 1998
| genre = Short film
}}

{{stub}}

'''''Rayman's Training''''' (stylized as '''''Rayman's training''''') is the title of a CGI-animated short film produced by [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]] in 1998. Premiering at a tradeshow/film festival hybrid named "IMAGINA 1998", ''Rayman's training'' has not been seen in its entirety since its original showing. It is now lost media.

The short was made during the transitional period of ''[[Rayman 2]]'''s development from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype]] to the [[Rayman 2|3D game]].

==Plot and synopsis==
Very little is known of what the plot of ''Rayman's training'' could have detailed, as the only existing footage of the short is in several pieces, of which the order of where they might belong is not known. What is known is that the short stars [[Rayman]] in a grassy environment battling a punching bag character before collapsing out of exhaustion, and the [[Hunter]] from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype]] making a appearance. There is a clip of [[Rayman]] gaming in a giant chair and monitor, and several of him having letters of his name jump over hula hoops in a outdoor auditorium.

==Production and known sightings==
Similarly, very little is known about the production of the short, and who worked on it. Production of the short is believed to have started around 1996 to 1997, as evidenced by the specific model being first used for a ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' advert and clips of ''Rayman's training'' appearing in two French ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' adverts from 1997. Various clips from the short can be seen in a ''GamesMaster'' reel from 1997.

Very infamously however, the most well-known example of ''Rayman's training's'' presence would be clips being used in ''[[Rayman 2]]'''s E3 1998 trailer. The sole known credit that can be given for ''Rayman's training'' would be a sound design company by the name of ''Farra Vox Studios'', evidenced by a webpage on their website containing a photograph of the short with the name "Rayman training". The website of the French National Audiovisual Institute, ina.fr, lists the short as "Rayman's training", and is the only other source of the short's name.

There are no other known presences of ''Rayman's training'', and the short has since been considered lost for two decades.

Hi folks!

Thanks for playing my demo ! But remember, you've only seen a very small part of the whole game.

If you want to finish the dream forest, scale the blue mountains, rock through band land, and take a peek at picture city ... not to mention getting the evil mr dark and his cronies in candy chateau... then get your hands on a copy of the full version of rayman.

It is available now at stores everywhere.

List of Rayman demos

2021-01-07T17:03:12Z

RibShark: /* Rayman 3 */

What follows is a '''list of every ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' demo''' available and the content they include.

The list does not include developer builds (like prototypes) and unpublic demos (like press demos). Repeated names are in fact different demos.

'''(?)''' means that this disc includes an existing but unchecked demo.

== Sony PlayStation ==
=== ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' ===
*'''Availability:'''
** Japanese DemoDemo PlayStation Vol. 3
*'''Content:'''
** [[The Dream Forest]] (single unknown level)
** [[Blue Mountains]] (single unknown level)
*'''Notable differences:'''
** The world map is the same as from the Atari Jaguar beta version with an [[Electoon]] moving on the map. There is also a point on the [[Floating present|giant, floating present]], although it can't be accessed.
** In the files, [[Band Land]] is referred to as Chromatic Skies and [[Picture City]] as Image City—almost literal translations of the original French names ''Le Ciel Chromatique'' and ''La Cité des Images''.
** Early loading screen images are used. The one for the [[Blue Mountains]] shows [[Mr Stone]] throwing the boulder at [[Rayman]].
** Early sequenced music is used.
** When falling from high places [[Rayman]] will appear stunned.
** The [[Life|lives]] counter displays a single digit.
** Rather than getting [[Electoon]] markers on a [[medallion]] upon breaking a [[cage]] the player now has to collect the [[Electoon]]s from it with a separate counter being available for that, replacing the [[ting]]s.
** The [[Big Power]]s use an incorrect palette for parts of their animation.

Hi folks!

Thanks for playing my demo ! But remember, you've only seen a very small part of the whole game.

If you want to finish the dream forest, scale the blue mountains, rock through band land, and take a peek at picture city ... not to mention getting the evil mr dark and his cronies in candy chateau... then get your hands on a copy of the full version of rayman.

It is available now at stores everywhere.

Raymanian

2020-12-28T08:07:13Z

RibShark: Noticed that the Wandayē name may also appear in Rayman M

'''Raymanian''', also known as '''Wandayē''', is the language used by the intelligent species of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. It was first identified in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', where it can be chosen amongst other languages. In an official timeline made for [[Rayman|Rayman's]] 20th anniversary, it was revealed that the name of the language is Wandayē. This does conflict with the name given in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', which could indicate the language having two different names, perhaps one in English and the other one in the language, or one of them being incorrect. The latter is likely to be the reason, as there is other information of the timeline which is not correct. The name does however have some connections with ''[[Rayman 2]]'', as that name can be heard during several occasions in the game, such as when [[Rayman]] is using the [[Rain Mask]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. It has however not been confirmed if this is a coincidence or if it is the originally intended name. Additionally, one of the options in the [[Rayman M|Rayman M's]] [[List_of_cheats_in_Rayman_M#Cheat_menu|cheat menu]] is known by the similar name "Woundayae".

== Description ==
In ''[[Rayman 2]]'' the language seems to sound different with different species to fit their personality, such as [[Ly|Ly's]] sounding like echoing, [[Murphy|Murphy's]] sounding like whispers and [[Razorbeard|Razorbeard's]] sounding like an angry robot.

== In ''Rayman 2'' ==
The language's only known appearance is in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', except for the PlayStation version where it was replaced by real languages. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' it can be chosen as a language in the options, where it was also expanded upon with new sounds, giving each cutscene and sentence spoken a unique sound.

== In other games ==
The characters seem to speak it in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'' and the portable version of ''[[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Rayman 3]]'', although the language is never specified. It is however not spoken in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' where the characters only speak real-world languages.

It is possible that the characters are speaking Raymanian in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''; [[Mr Dark]]'s laugh is subtitled with the words ‘You're doomed, [[Rayman]]’, and [[Betilla the Fairy|Betilla]]'s indistinct murmurings are also subtitled with various sentences.

[[Rayman]] also seems to be able to speak English, French, German, etc., as at the end of [[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (DS)|the DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids 2'']] he is speaking to some humans.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Raymanian is a combination of the English language and various word games. Most characters simply speak [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_Latin Pig Latin], but the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] speaks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubbi_dubbi Ubbi Dubbi], and the [[Electoon]]s speak English. The game's dialogue is accompanied by full voice acting, rather than the limited number of mumbling sound clips that were reused frequently throughout ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', [[Polokus|the Bubble Dreamer]] speaks English in the introductory cutscene. However, in game, he and all other characters have reverted to a similar sort of speech as in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where each character has their own distinct gibberish.

In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', [[the Captain]] writes letters to the player which are written in the chosen in-game language, suggestion that the inhabitants of [[Glade of Dreams|the glade]] have awareness of real-life languages as well.

== Engravings ==
In many locations throughout the [[Rayman series]], strange letter-like engravings can be seen on the walls. These include the inside walls of the final level of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', the door to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] and a door inside [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', and the walls of the tunnels in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]] in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', and the backgrounds of many levels in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the portable version of ''Rayman 3'']]. These engravings are curiously consistent throughout the series; as such, it has been speculated that they are Raymanian text.

Hi folks!

Thanks for playing my demo ! But remember, you've only seen a very small part of the whole game.

If you want to finish the dream forest, scale the blue mountains, rock through band land, and take a peek at picture city ... not to mention getting the evil mr dark and his cronies in candy chateau... then get your hands on a copy of the full version of rayman.

It is available now at stores everywhere.

List of Rayman demos

2020-12-03T12:48:29Z

RibShark: /* Rayman M */

What follows is a '''list of every ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' demo''' available and the content they include.

The list does not include developer builds (like prototypes) and unpublic demos (like press demos). Repeated names are in fact different demos.

'''(?)''' means that this disc includes an existing but unchecked demo.

*'''Availability:'''
** Japanese DemoDemo PlayStation Vol. 3
*'''Content:'''
** [[The Dream Forest]] (single unknown level)
** [[Blue Mountains]] (single unknown level)
*'''Notable differences:'''
** The world map is the same as from the Atari Jaguar beta version with an [[Electoon]] moving on the map. There is also a point on the [[Floating present|giant, floating present]], although it can't be accessed.
** In the files, [[Band Land]] is referred to as Chromatic Skies and [[Picture City]] as Image City—almost literal translations of the original French names ''Le Ciel Chromatique'' and ''La Cité des Images''.
** Early loading screen images are used. The one for the [[Blue Mountains]] shows [[Mr Stone]] throwing the boulder at [[Rayman]].
** Early sequenced music is used.
** When falling from high places [[Rayman]] will appear stunned.
** The [[Life|lives]] counter displays a single digit.
** Rather than getting [[Electoon]] markers on a [[medallion]] upon breaking a [[cage]] the player now has to collect the [[Electoon]]s from it with a separate counter being available for that, replacing the [[ting]]s.
** The [[Big Power]]s use an incorrect palette for parts of their animation.

Hi folks!

Thanks for playing my demo ! But remember, you've only seen a very small part of the whole game.

If you want to finish the dream forest, scale the blue mountains, rock through band land, and take a peek at picture city ... not to mention getting the evil mr dark and his cronies in candy chateau... then get your hands on a copy of the full version of rayman.

It is available now at stores everywhere.

Talk:Rayman IV

2020-08-04T16:22:39Z

RibShark:

== What I know so far ==

* It might have been sold mostly in Germany as well as Russia since the in game title is in German [thus having nothing to do with the actual box title], probably at flea markets and boot sales [might have sold here too but I dunno]; my copy also came from Germany. It probably also explains how Matthias from Rayman Fanpage got to hear of it.
* One sound effect, when you collect a jewel, is from the very first Pokemon games, Red Blue and Yellow. The rest of the graphics and sound I've yet to identify.

About the other pirate I've mentioned, Haruka discovered that on ebay as well, grabbed a screen of the photo that was on there - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v412/seismic-saffya/Fandoms/Rayman/raymanadvance2.jpg - it ended with no bids but I'm keeping an eye on the seller.

Any other help is always appreciated. <3 --[[Image:RKartHead.gif]] '''[[User:Staceyw|StaceyW]] ♬''' 21:25, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
:Right, I found Rayman Advance 2 accidentally while I was searching Raymanish stuff on eBay. Good luck in getting it, in case of the seller puts the bid online again. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 19:06, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

::Apparently 'Der Sonneschein auf der Reise' means 'The sunshine on the trip'. --[[User:Iheckler9|iHeckler9]][[File:Life.gif|link=User:Iheckler9]] 16:10, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

==Is Райман orthographically correct?==
I think the correct spelling for [[Rayman]] is Рзйман in Russian. 🤔 -[[User:Alltech|Alltech]] ([[User talk:Alltech|talk]]) 17:32, 4 August 2020 (CEST)
:I have been told before that Райман is wrong. Regardless, that is how it is spelt in-game. [[User:Ribshark|Ribshark]] ([[User talk:Ribshark|talk]]) 18:22, 4 August 2020 (CEST)

Rayman IV

2020-05-14T09:40:04Z

RibShark: ROM was dumped; added other language titles; Fixed a few mistakes

[[File:RaymanIVbox.jpg|thumb|320px|Box art for ''Rayman IV'']]

'''''Rayman IV''''' (not to be confused with ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', in its early stages), known in-game as '''''Rayman: Sunshine of Trip''''' (English), '''''Rayman: Der Sonneschein auf der Reise''''' (German), or '''''Райман: Путешествие солнечного света''''' (Russian) is an unlicensed game for the Game Boy Advance that originated from the Taiwanese company ''Sintax''. Typical of an unlicensed game, it has neither the Ubisoft logo or the Nintendo Seal of Quality, but has an ESRB rating of E for Everyone (normally used in the United States) and the "Only for" notice on the side of the cover. The cover features poorly edited artwork that was previously used in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', notably of [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and a [[Henchman 800]], set against a blue background.

In 2011, a copy of the game was discovered, however due to the large amount of copy-protection on the cart, the ROM wasn't successfully dumped until 2020. Due to this copy-protection, the cart can only be played on a Game Boy Advance, a Game Boy Advance SP or the Game Boy Player (an add-on for the Gamecube), it will not run on a DS or a DS Lite.

==Elements from other video games==
As an unlicensed game, ''Rayman IV'' uses elements taken directly from other video games. In Stage 2 for example much of the background and foreground elements are taken from the SNES video game ''Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos'', which was previously hacked into a ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' pirate for the SNES.

Rayman: The Animated Series

2019-12-27T17:24:28Z

RibShark: /* VHS and DVD releases */

{{Game
| name = Rayman: The Animated Series
| image = [[Image:Raymandvdf.jpg|center|180px|Rayman: The Animated Series]]
| published by = [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]]
| developed by = [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]]
| release date = 1999
| genre = CGI animated series
| platforms = DVD, VHS, televised broadcast
}}

'''''Rayman: The Animated Series''''' was a computer-animated TV programme based on the [[Rayman]] video games series. It was produced in 1999 as an accompaniment to the release of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' in the same year. Although it was planned to be a full 13-episode series that was meant to be aired on TV worldwide the following year, the series was cancelled and only four episodes were produced, presumably due to poor writing and lack of funds, despite being funded by the government of Quebec, Canada, and they were aired in very few countries in Europe, notably France, Germany (in which it was aired on Super RTL) and the Netherlands.

==Plot==
[[Rayman]] had already been captured by [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and is being held at [[Rigatoni]]'s circus - a giant tent which floats from one location to another, where he is forced to do circus tricks. After being thrown in the dungeons, he soon meets four other prisoners, [[Betina]], [[Cookie]], [[Flips]] and [[Lac-Mac]], who is the star of the circus show and therefore [[Rigatoni]]'s favorite prisoner, and plans their escape. When they do escape, they end up on the run in the vast forest city of [[Aeropolis]], where [[Inspector Grub]] is pursuing them under the orders of [[Rigatoni]].

[[File:Vhsrayman.jpeg|thumb|240px|The VHS for ''Rayman: The Animated Series''.]]

Although very rare, the ''Rayman: The Animated Series'' is available on VHS and DVD. An English VHS was released in the United States and Australia, a French one can be found in France and Belgium, and a German one was bundled alongside some copies of [[Rayman 1]]. A DVD is also available, but only in France. Though the text on the cover is in French, the English and German versions are included as well as the French version. Some French copies of [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]] on PC also contain the series on the same disc. An Australian release of [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]] also claims to include the series on the disc, but this is not the case.

2D Nightmare

'''2D Nightmare''' is the last of the three minigames which are exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. It was intended to unlock upon connecting a Game Boy Advance to the GameCube, running a copy of [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|''Rayman 3'']] with all levels completed. However, due to a programming error, the game doesn't see the final level, [[Heart of the Ancients]], as complete rendering it impossible to unlock the minigame without cheating.

2D Nightmare is a flashback to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] in the same style as [[2D Madness]]. 2D Nightmare, however, takes place in [[Picture City]], whereas [[2D Madness]] takes place in [[the Dream Forest]]. Extensive use of the [[Throttle Copter]] power-up makes it reminiscent of the second section of [[Pencil Pentathlon]], in which the [[super helicopter]] power was used.

==Unlocking 2D Nightmare==
Inspections of the files on the disc of the PC version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' confirmed 2D Nightmare's existence and name, and revealed that it had once been planned for inclusion in the other versions of the game, along with a [[chess minigame]] and a minigame in which the player controls a [[Xowar]] which is chasing [[Rayman]]. The existence of 2D Nightmare was further supported by the presence of a 12th minigame slot at the bottom of the minigame menu in the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. In 2003, a screenshot of the level was posted in an official [[RaymanZone]] gallery; when the forums were deleted, the image was lost and the minigame's existence was called into dispute. In November 2010, the screenshot was finally located.

In the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', [[2D Madness]] is unlocked by connecting the GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] with every [[cage]] broken. In the other console and PC versions of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', it is unlocked by earning a certain number of points in-game. 2D Nightmare was originally thought to be unlocked by connecting a 100%-complete GameCube version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' to a 100%-complete [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. Efforts to contact [[Ubisoft]] regarding 2D Nightmare were made, but produced no constructive responses. In December 2011, a method of unlocking 2D Nightmare was finally discovered using external game modifiers, such as Action Replay codes, on the GameCube version.

Eventually it was found on March 30th, 2016 that the game is supposed to unlock when every level in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] is completed. Unfortunately, the variable tracking the number of completed levels is not incremented after [[Heart of the Ancients|the final level]] is completed, meaning that it never reaches the value that the GameCube version expects in order to unlock the minigame. The minigame can therefore be unlocked by raising the variable manually in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]] through a cheat program.

Two other GameCube-exclusive ''[[Rayman 3]]'' minigames exist. [[Mad Trax]] is a two-player kart-racing game, in which one player, controlling [[Rayman]] with the GameCube controller, races around an area in a similar fashion to the game's [[Crazy Shoe]] sections, collecting [[Jewel|gems]], and the other player, controlling [[Globox]], arranges the race-track by playing a ''Tetris''-like game on the connected Game Boy Advance. The other minigame, [[Wheelis]], is similar, but it involves four players; two controlling [[Rayman]] and [[Gumsi]] in [[Crazy Shoe]]s, and two playing the ''Tetris''-like game on the Game Boy Advances. Both [[Mad Trax]] and [[Wheelis]] have been unlocked successfully by obtaining enough points in the GameCube version.

===Action Replay Codes (GameCube version)===

====NTSC====
005D8950 0000000C

====PAL====
005D7E70 0000000C

After entering the code, load any saved game and the minigame will appear in the Bonus menu.
