	Before entering [[Rainbow Creek]] you're going to want to activate a special bug-mode which allows you to play while at the save-screen. To do this you're going to first say yes to saving, press no at the next screen, press cross at the next screen while holding select and then pressing start. Once you enter [[Rainbow Creek]] you're going to head towards the [[Teensie]]s. However, make sure you don't exit the save-screen by pressing cross at any time. This gets tricky when you get to the ledge where [[Rayman]] is going to be hanging. It is possible to get up from there, though not that easy as you need to press the right button depending on the angle. An easier way to perform this is to activate this bug-state through another loading-screen in the area.

This guide is to serve as a central hub for all of the relevant knowledge needed to get started with and improve at '''''[[Rayman 2]]'' speedrunning'''.

==''[[Rayman Revolution]]''==
The Japanese release of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' is the best suited to speedrunning. Japanese best -ese, always brings the faster text so you can get whirl rekky. However, the tricks listed below are valid for all versions.

=== Any % ===
==== General ====
Note that most of the general tricks from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' also work in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' as well. These are however, tricks that are exclusive to ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.
*By moving Rayman sideways in any direction, while moving the camera so that Rayman is moving to the side, his movement speed can be doubled.
*By having Rayman shoot, right before landing in a body of water, the player can have the animation skipped.
*By jumping diagonally in a wall jump, the player can save a few seconds.

==== [[The Woods of Light]] ====
For the jail-escape part it is a lot faster jumping while sliding down. Once the next part is entered, there is a way to skip the [[Murfy]] dialogue after the first cage has been broken. To do so, the player must land on the rocks behind the cage, once it has been hit twice, and then quickly jump up again. The next trick will allow the player to skip the cutscene with the [[baby Globox]]es. To do so, the player must land their jump on the far left side of the ledge where they are. By doing this the cutscene trigger will be skipped, and the player can move on by jumping into the tunnel. Once the wall-jump area is reached, it is once again faster to jump diagonally.

==== [[The Minisaurus Plain]] ====
For [[the Minisaurus Plain]] you're going to want to perform a air-swimming bug. You do this by glitching through the walls in the water during the tutorial (watch the video linked below for a better understanding of where to perform the glitch). What you want to do next is to swim into the entrance to [[the Bayou]].

Once you get the question on if you want to save or not, press yes and then choose no on everything else. What this will do is to reload the intro-cutscene to that level. Though, as you entered it before it now thinks you've already seen the first [[Razorbeard]] cutscene and now takes you to the next one which is right before [[the Precipice]]. Once you've watched the cutscene it will now load the level connected with the cutscene which in this case is [[the Precipice]]. You're however going to want to leave the level immediately by jumping onto the balloon.

==== [[Rainbow Creek]] ====
Before entering [[Rainbow Creek]] you're going to want to activate a special bug-mode which allows you to play while at the save-screen. To do this you're going to first say yes to saving, press no at the next screen, press cross at he next screen while holding select and then pressing start. Once you enter [[Rainbow Creek]] you're going to head towards the [[Teensie]]s. However, make sure you don't exit the save-screen by pressing cross at any time. This gets tricky when you get to the ledge where [[Rayman]] is going to be hanging. It is possible to get up from there, though not that easy as you need to press the right button depending on the angle. An easier way to perform this is to activate this bug-state through another loading-screen in the area.

Once you've made it to the second set of sign where you'll usually find the [[flying shell]] leading to [[the Crow's Nest]] you're going to walk to the edge and stand in a position so that you see the [[Teensie]] [[stone circle]] to the left and a cliff to the right. Once there you're going to save the game and once the game is saved you're going to start very high up in the air. If you've done this correctly you should be falling into the trigger on your way down which will take you to [[the Crow's Nest]].

==== [[The Crow's Nest]] ====
During the first part of the boss you should stay near the edge to prevent [[Razorbeard]] to jump towards you. Once in the second phase it is a lot faster to defeat him by getting the unlimited-ammo by flying into the small circle at the top while holding down the jump and shoot button (cross and square). While he is taking damage in the lava you can shoot at him to make him get up quicker.
