===[[The Dream Forest]]=== | ===[[The Dream Forest]]=== | ||
The first world of the game is [[the Dream Forest]], a lush jungle. [[Rayman]]'s journey begins in a region known as [[Pink Plant Woods]]. On his way through these woods, he encounters [[Betilla]] for the first time in the game; she grants him the [[telescopic fist]] ability, which takes advantage of his detached hands and allows him to throw them, defeating enemies or smashing [[cage]]s. [[Rayman]] passes into [[Anguish Lagoon]], where he encounters a [[mosquito]] who is later identified in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' as [[Bzzit]]. The two fight briefly, and [[Bzzit]] begins to cry when [[Rayman]] defeats him. [[Rayman]] takes pity on [[Bzzit]] and cheers him up; they become friends. [[Bzzit]] allows [[Rayman]] to ride on his back as he flies over the otherwise impassable waters of the lagoon. [[Betilla]] appears again and gives [[Rayman]] another power: the ability to [[Hanging|hang onto ledges]], which helps him to avoid falls and lets him climb onto certain platforms. [[Rayman]] then moves on to [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], where he meets [[Tarayzan]] (a pastiche of Tarzan). [[Tarayzan]] has lost his loincloth and is hiding behind a shrub. [[Rayman]] returns it to him, and [[Tarayzan]] rewards him by giving him a [[magic seed]]. Suddenly the rain begins to flood the area, and [[Rayman]] must use the [[magic seed]] to grow [[ | The first world of the game is [[the Dream Forest]], a lush jungle.

Suddenly the rain begins to flood the area, and [[Rayman]] must use the [[magic seed]] to grow [[Water lily|water lilies]] which he can climb to escape the flood. | ||
Next, [[Rayman]] passes into [[Moskito's Nest]], where he is chased by a [[mosquito]] called [[Moskito]]. As the main boss of [[the Dream Forest]], [[Moskito]] is essentially a more powerful and unpleasant version of [[Bzzit]]. Eventually [[Rayman]] and [[Moskito]] have a climactic battle in the deepest part of the forest. After [[Rayman]] defeats him, [[Betilla]] appears to give him another power: the [[grappling fist]] ability, which enables him to swing from [[flying ring]]s and cover large distances without touching the ground. | Next, [[Rayman]] passes into [[Moskito's Nest]], where he is chased by a [[giant mosquito]] called [[Moskito]].

===[[Band Land]]=== | ===[[Band Land]]=== | ||
The second world of the game is [[Band Land]], a landscape composed of music and musical instruments. The first region [[Rayman]] passes through is [[Bongo Hills]], an area relatively close to the ground, and with many drum platforms. Next, he reaches [[Allegro Presto]], an airy location composed mainly of slippery sheet music. Here [[Betilla]] the fairy grants him the [[helicopter]] power, which allows him to hover and glide by using his hair as a [[helicopter]]. He also encounters [[Mr Sax]], a giant evil saxophone who is the boss of [[Band Land]]. Next, [[Rayman]] makes his way through [[Gong Heights]], a cloudy level in the sky inhabited by meditating [[ | The second world of the game is [[Band Land]], a landscape composed of music and musical instruments.

Next, [[Rayman]] makes his way through [[Gong Heights]], a cloudy level in the sky inhabited by meditating [[Tibetan]]s. Finally he comes to [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], the lair of the boss he met earlier. This level plays like a combination of the previous three, with the characteristic elements of each. [[Rayman]] is chased by [[Mr Sax]], and finally does battle with him in his lair, and defeats him. [[Mr Sax]] comes to his senses and begins to dance. | ||

The fifth world of the game is [[the Caves of Skops]], a series of dark but colorful underground caverns. The first level here is [[Crystal Palace]], where nothing noteworthy occurs. The next level is [[Eat at Joe's]], where [[Rayman]] encounters [[Joe|Joe the Extra-Terrestrial]], a friendly green alien who owns a seaside restaurant near the caves. [[Joe]] is depressed because he is not getting any business, as the neon sign above his restaurant is not functioning. [[Rayman]] decides to do what it takes to turn [[Joe]]'s lights on again. With a [[firefly]] given to him by [[Joe]] to light his way, [[Rayman]] heads into the pitch-dark caves. After making his way through the darkest caverns, he eventually finds a plug which is falling out of its socket. [[Rayman]] [[Telescopic fist|punches]] it back into place, and [[Joe]]'s entire electrical system is reactivated – including a network of wired [[flying saucer]]s which [[Rayman]] rides back to the surface. When he has returned to [[Joe]]'s restaurant, [[Rayman]] finds that the neon sign is lit, much to [[Joe]]'s delight. The alien allows [[Rayman]] to use his buoys as platforms. | The fifth world of the game is [[the Caves of Skops]], a series of dark but colorful underground caverns.

Here he encounters [[Mr Skops]], a gigantic, malevolent pink scorpion with one giant claw. [[Mr Skops]] is not pleased when [[Rayman]] wakes him, and attacks while periodically retreating. [[Rayman]] chases [[Mr Skops]] to his temple lair, where the two battle until he is defeated. [[Rayman]] sees [[Betilla]] the Fairy, now trapped by [[Mr Dark]] in a tiny glass sphere; she urges him to hurry. However, [[Rayman]] cannot move on to the next and final world until he has broken each of the one hundred and two [[Electoon]] [[cage]]s scattered throughout the five previous worlds. | ||
