Tings, also known as crystals and blue spheres, are collectible items found in all of the first generation Rayman games.

In Rayman

If Rayman picks up one hundred of them, he gains an extra life, but they can also be used to pay the Magician (who'll give you access to bonus stages).

But careful! When Rayman dies, he loses all of the Tings he collected.

—Manual, Rayman
Tings are abundant in the original Rayman game.

In the original Rayman game, Tings are small blue crystal balls found scattered in large numbers throughout almost every level, often leading Rayman to a hidden cage or to safety. Collecting 100 Tings gets Rayman a bonus life and resets his Ting count to zero. In the Nintendo DSi-Ware version, only 50 Tings are required for a new life. If Rayman loses a life, he also loses all Tings he is currently holding, except in the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DSi-Ware versions. They can also be used to open up bonus levels: 10 is enough to pay the the Magician and enter one of his bonus levels. There are over 2000 of them in the game, and the numbers are different across versions. The exact Ting counts are as follows:

  • PlayStation (EU, US): 2119
  • PlayStation (JP): 2128
  • PC (1.00): 2179
  • PC (1.10, 1.21): 2244
  • Jaguar: 2071

In the help menu of Rayman Ultimate, a port of the game for the Pocket PC, Tings are referred to as crystals.


In Maths and English with Rayman

Certain Tings cannot be collected in Maths and English with Rayman, because they lead to wrong answers.

In Maths and English with Rayman, Betilla the Fairy and the Magician refer to Tings as "Bubbles" and the manual calls them "blue bubbles". Only 50 are needed to gain an extra life; however, this is the only way to get more of them. There are 2273 of them. In some levels, certain Tings cannot be collected, because they lead to wrong answers.


In Rayman Designer

The seven different Ting colours seen in Rayman Designer.

In Rayman Designer, Tings exist in seven different colours; collecting all Tings of a specific colour will trigger events if they are connected to either a Ting Gendoor or a Ting Killdoor. There is a total of 2400 blue Tings - 100 in each level - and, if all have been collected, the exit will open up. Of the other six colours, five - purple, green, bronze, silver and gold - are used to open up passages, while red Tings are used to reveal a few extra lives.


In the Game Boy Color version of Rayman

In the Game Boy Color version of Rayman, Tings play a much larger role in the story. Here, they are revealed to be tiny fairies inside glass spheres. These Tings wake Rayman up from his slumber at the beginning of the game to warn him of Mr Dark's plot, and continue to provide instruction throughout the duration of Rayman's adventure. They also grant him new powers at certain points in the game, essentially taking on the role Betilla the Fairy played in the original version. Only 30 Tings are needed to gain an extra life here, and none are required to enter a bonus level. There are only 1184 Tings in this version of the game.

In the cancelled 2D version of Rayman 2

Tings as seen in the cancelled 2D prototype version of Rayman 2.

In the cancelled 2D prototype version of Rayman 2, Tings are silvery and metallic; they reflect the colour of their surroundings. Tings are much rarer here, and only 10 are required to earn an extra life.
