===[[Jibberish Jungle]]===

The first stop for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s is the [[Jibberish Jungle]], a lush forest filled with exotic foliage and enemies such as [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and [[Antitoon|Darktoons]]. Eventually, they find [[Betilla]] the Fairy, the [[nymph]] who created [[Rayman]] long ago, and who has now been captured by the invaders. Once freed, she gives them the power to slap. When enough [[Electoon]]s have been freed, [[Betilla]] informs the heroes that they have enough to reach the next world. The [[Electoon]]s band together to form a bridge through the sky. On the other side, the heroes find friendly [[mosquito]]es who fly them to the game's second environment. Along the way, the they must fight off an attack from the [[Boss Bird]], a gigantic [[bird]] which watches over the passage to the next land.

===[[Desert of Dijiridoos]]===

Eventually the [[mosquito]]es take the heroes to the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], a bleak, scorched landscape, partially composed of musical instruments, and inhabited mainly by vicious [[bird]]s. Here they rescue a [[nymph]] named [[Holly Luya]] – the first sister of [[Betilla]] the Fairy. She gives them the power to [[Helicopter|hover]]. Again, the heroes must free enough [[Electoon]]s to create a sky bridge leading to a [[mosquito]] level, and again the [[mosquito]]es take them to the next area.

===[[Gourmand Land]]===

The heroes arrive in the [[Gourmand Land]], a food-themed world. Its sharply-contrasting environments include icy cocktail and fiery kitchen landscapes. These are populated by dangerous [[Baby Dragon Chef]]s and [[Baby Dragon Waiter|Waiters]]. After they free the third of the [[nymph]] sisters, [[Edith Up]], she gives them the ability to use [[funnel]]s to change their size. Then they must cross a bridge made of freed [[Electoon]]s and ride the [[mosquito]]es to the next world. Along the way, they must fight off the [[Murray|Giant Eel]], a gigantic flying [[eel]] whose purpose is to stop anyone from entering the next land.

This time they are taken to the [[Sea of Serendipity]], an idyllic marine location. On the surface, they find a village that has been build on stilts.

In this world, the [[nymph]] sister they meet is [[Annetta Fish]], who gives them the ability to dive underwater.

===[[Mystical Pique]]===

This mountainous landscape is the [[Mystical Pique]]. On the surface, the weather ranges from mild to snowy. However, the mountain contains many ancient temples, where [[fakir]]s meditate and worship the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]. Common enemies here include [[Darkroot]]s and [[Stone man|Stone men]]. Throughout this world, the characters notice that strange pieces of machinery have been inexplicably falling from the sky. The heroes rescue the local [[nymph]] sister, [[Helena Handbasket]], who gives them the power to [[Wall run|run on walls]]. However, the [[Electoon]] bridge that follows does not take the heroes to a [[mosquito]] level. It takes them to the lair of the [[Golem]], a gigantic stone monster whom they must defeat in order to progress.

When the heroes reach the top of the mountain, they find the five [[nymph]]s gathered round the [[Dreamer's Door]], a circular stone portal. They can use this to travel to the source of the mysterious machinery which has been falling from the dark, stormy clouds that have filled the sky. [[Helena Handbasket]] thanks the heroes for saving her sisters, but informs them that the [[Four Kings]] who rule the four lands of the [[Glade of Dreams]] have succumbed to the nightmares that are infecting the world, growing into monstrous and uncontrollable versions of themselves. Since the [[Four Kings]]' magical assistance is required to open the [[Dreamer's Door]], the heroes must find them and defeat them, restoring them to their original benevolent states.

===[[Moody Clouds]]===

The heroes find themselves standing amidst the [[Moody Clouds]] – a dark, electrified storm. They find [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] nearby, but he does not offer them any advice, instead telling them that they are going the wrong way, and urging them to turn back. The heroes press on with the aid of their [[mosquito]] friends, and find what lies at the heart of the storm: a sprawling flying city with retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics. This vast, dangerous city is inhabited by [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|Robots]] which are almost immune to the heroes' attacks, as well as mechanical replicas of previously-enountered enemies such as [[Fly|flies]] and [[spiky fish]]es. Along the way, the heroes often find helpless [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], packed into glass containers and apparently being used to power the city and its mechanical inhabitants.

Along the way, the heroes often find helpless [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], packed into glass containers and apparently being used to power the city and its mechanical inhabitants.

Eventually the heroes stumble into the room which lies at the heart of the [[Moody Clouds]], only to find their old friend, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]], working the controls. They discover that he is the one who built this city and its army of [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|Robots]]. According to an [[Rayman Origins (early production)#Unused script|early script]], [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had grown frustrated with the decadent and lazy [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], who had consistently failed to protect the people of the [[Glade of Dreams]] from his own nightmares. However, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had also grown to admire [[Mr Dark]], the arch-nemesis of [[Rayman]] and the villain of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]; posters of [[Mr Dark]], with '♥ Mister D', can be seen on the walls of [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s office. In order to start a war between [[Rayman]] and the [[Livid Dead]], [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had hidden a microphone in [[the Snoring Tree]]. However, this war, and the little plot that the game has, had been nothing more than a distraction tactic; [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s real goal was to construct a mechanical army with which he could conquer the [[Glade of Dreams]], overthrow the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], and impose a new order based on discipline and reason.

Now that his scheme has been discovered, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] pulls a lever, causing the heroes to fall into a room where they must fight [[Mecha Carnivora|mechanical]] [[Mecha Mockingbird|replicas]] of [[Carnivora]] and the [[Mocking Bird]] bosses. Once these are defeated, they return to [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s office. He distracts them with a disco number before making his escape. As the heroes chase [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] across the outside of the [[Moody Clouds]], it becomes apparent that his city is crumbling. When he boards a flying [[warship]] in another attempt to escape, the heroes chase him through the sky with the aid of the [[mosquito]]es. Eventually [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s [[warship]] crashes into some kind of gigantic reactor core that seems to be powering the city. The collision causes a gigantic explosion, blowing the [[Moody Clouds]] to pieces. The heroes land on [[the Snoring Tree]], in exactly the same positions they occupied at the beginning of the game, and resume their snoring. The scene fades to black and the credits roll; the players can run about in front of the credits for their duration.

Line 165:

Unlike most other games in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], the players are very vulnerable to enemy attacks, and one touch can cause death. Throughout the game, bottles containing a [[heart]] are found, and should a player break one, the [[heart]] inside will act as a shield until an enemy attacks, after which the [[heart]] will break. If every player in the game has a [[heart]] and they collect another one, they will get [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] for it too. In multiplayer mode, if one player dies, they can float around and come back to life if they come to close enough contact with a surviving player. If all of the players die, then they will return to a previous checkpoint, normally a [[Darkblocker]] where the player had go through before, or the last place where the player broke a [[cage]].

In 31 levels of the game~~, there is a time trial mode~~, which the players can unlock by completing ~~the level~~ for the first time. They will find a floating clock at the start of the level. If they hit it, they will activate time trial mode, and they can race to get [[Electoon]]s or [[Speed trophy|speed trophies]]. The [[Electoon]] requirements are easy, but the [[Speed trophy|trophy]] requires the player to run through the level. Obtaining [[Speed trophy|speed trophies]] awards the player Xbox 360 achievements / PlayStation 3 trophies.

At the halfway point in the game, the heroes can first acquire the [[Flying Punch]], a rare item that increases the power of their attacks, and is usually well hidden.

The majority of the game's score was written by French composer [[Christophe Héral]], who had previously worked with [[Michel Ancel]] and [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]] on the 2003 videogame ''[[~~Beyond Good and Evil|~~Beyond Good & Evil]]''. As a result of scheduling problems, Héral had only three months to compose the soundtrack, so another composer, Billy Martin, was hired to complete Héral's work. The score was recorded by the Star Pop Orchestra, at the Davout Studios in Paris; this may be a first for [[Rayman (series)|the series]], as the previous games' music seems to have been mainly synthesised. The game features interactive sound design; the player characters' actions within the game create diegetic musical sounds which blend with the game's score. ''Rayman Origins'' is the first game in [[Rayman (series)|the series]] whose soundtrack has been officially released, the second being ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and the third being ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]''.

In [[the Snoring Tree]] all of the [[Teensie]] characters have been removed as playable characters. Because of this, unlock criterions were changed, such as [[Raybox]] now requiring 50 [[Electoon]]s instead of 5.

== ''Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition'' ==

[[File:Rayman Origins Enchanted Edition Logo.jpg|thumb|320px|The game's logo.]]

An enhanced edition of ''Rayman Origins'' is set to release on October 1, 2026. The game is set to feature improved textures that support 4K resolution, 60 FPS gameplay, and a number of new features. The game will be included with any edition of ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' for free, but it will also be made available as a standalone purchase.

The enhanced edition will feature 60 [[relic]]s and two mosaics, collectibles that were originally exclusive to the PlayStation Vita version of ''Rayman Origins''. There will also be 39 [[List of achievements and trophies in Rayman Origins|achievements]] across all platforms, including 10 new Ubisoft Connect ones, 18 new skins and 50 brand new [[The Photographer#The photoboards|photoboards]].

The game will feature new quality-of-life features, such as the ability to skip cutscenes and speed up the end-of-level sequence, a running toggle, control remapping, and vibration and haptics that vary depending on the character that the player uses.

The enhanced edition will also feature new accessibility options to make the game easier. Upon completing a level, [[Murfy]] will be made available to point out any remaining collectibles with a sound cue, making it easier for players to find anything they missed. Two new [[heart]]s are also being added: a gold heart, which returns from ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'' and protects the player from two hits, and a diamond heart that defends them from infinite damage. A new Fairy Blessing can also be activated, granting the heroes free flight and the ability to damage enemies as they move through them, thus making them nearly invincible.

Finally, [[the Snoring Tree]] will be expanded to feature over 70 pieces of concept art that are unlocked by collecting [[Lum Medal]]s and a dedicated area for the heroes to browse through and take pictures with the [[The Photographer#The photoboards|standee]]s that they have unlocked.

Like with ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'', the game was leaked prior to its official reveal. On May 29, 2026, the game briefly appeared on the Xbox Store with a placeholder price of $2,000.<ref>Xbox.com (via archive.org), ''Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition'', https://web.archive.org/web/20260529211101/https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/rayman-origins-enhanced-edition/9PHH9TN3PSCG/</ref> Although the page was taken down approximately 45 minutes later, it featured the game's official box art, a product description, and several screenshots showcasing new content.

Reviewers praised ''Rayman Origins'' for its vibrant and detailed cartoon graphics, as well as its fittingly whimsical soundtrack. The gameplay was considered well-balanced, offering both an accessible experience for new players and a satisfying challenge for experienced ones. The decision to add co-operative multiplayer to the series was well-received. Criticism focused on the lack of a clear storyline in the game, and the chaotic nature of the gameplay when three or four people are playing simultaneously.

However, the mountain contains many ancient temples, where [[fakir]]s meditate and worship the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]. Common enemies here include [[Darkroot]]s and [[Stone man|Stone men]]. Throughout this world, the characters notice that strange pieces of machinery have been inexplicably falling from the sky. The heroes rescue the local [[nymph]] sister, [[Helena Handbasket]], who gives them the power to [[Wall run|run on walls]]. However, the [[Electoon]] bridge that follows does not take the heroes to a [[mosquito]] level. It takes them to the lair of the [[Golem]], a gigantic stone monster whom they must defeat in order to progress.

 When the heroes reach the top of the mountain, they find the five [[nymph]]s gathered round the [[Dreamer's Door]], a circular stone portal. They can use this to travel to the source of the mysterious machinery which has been falling from the dark, stormy clouds that have filled the sky. [[Helena Handbasket]] thanks the heroes for saving her sisters, but informs them that the [[Four Kings]] who rule the four lands of the [[Glade of Dreams]] have succumbed to the nightmares that are infecting the world, growing into monstrous and uncontrollable versions of themselves. Since the [[Four Kings]]' magical assistance is required to open the [[Dreamer's Door]], the heroes must find them and defeat them, restoring them to their original benevolent states.

 ===[[Moody Clouds]]===
-The heroes find themselves standing amidst the [[Moody Clouds]] – a dark, electrified storm. They find [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] nearby, but he does not offer them any advice, instead telling them that they are going the wrong way, and urging them to turn back. The heroes press on with the aid of their [[mosquito]] friends, and find what lies at the heart of the storm: a sprawling flying city with retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics. This vast, dangerous city is inhabited by [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|Robots]] which are almost immune to the heroes' attacks, as well as mechanical replicas of previously-enountered enemies such as [[Fly|flies]] and [[spiky fish]]es. Along the way, the heroes often find helpless [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], packed into glass containers and apparently being used to power the city and its mechanical inhabitants.

 Eventually the heroes stumble into the room which lies at the heart of the [[Moody Clouds]], only to find their old friend, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]], working the controls. They discover that he is the one who built this city and its army of [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|Robots]]. According to an [[Rayman Origins (early production)#Unused script|early script]], [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had grown frustrated with the decadent and lazy [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], who had consistently failed to protect the people of the [[Glade of Dreams]] from his own nightmares. However, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had also grown to admire [[Mr Dark]], the arch-nemesis of [[Rayman]] and the villain of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]; posters of [[Mr Dark]], with '♥ Mister D', can be seen on the walls of [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s office. In order to start a war between [[Rayman]] and the [[Livid Dead]], [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had hidden a microphone in [[the Snoring Tree]]. However, this war, and the little plot that the game has, had been nothing more than a distraction tactic; [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s real goal was to construct a mechanical army with which he could conquer the [[Glade of Dreams]], overthrow the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], and impose a new order based on discipline and reason.
-Now that his scheme has been discovered, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] pulls a lever, causing the heroes to fall into a room where they must fight [[Mecha Carnivora|mechanical]] [[Mecha Mockingbird|replicas]] of [[Carnivora]] and the [[Mocking Bird]] bosses. Once these are defeated, they return to [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s office. He distracts them with a disco number before making his escape. As the heroes chase [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] across the outside of the [[Moody Clouds]], it becomes apparent that his city is crumbling. When he boards a flying [[warship]] in another attempt to escape, the heroes chase him through the sky with the aid of the [[mosquito]]es. Eventually [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s [[warship]] crashes into some kind of gigantic reactor core that seems to be powering the city. The collision causes a gigantic explosion, blowing the [[Moody Clouds]] to pieces. The heroes land on [[the Snoring Tree]], in exactly the same positions they occupied at the beginning of the game, and resume their snoring. The scene fades to black and the credits roll; the players can run about in front of the credits for their duration.

 Unlike most other games in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], the players are very vulnerable to enemy attacks, and one touch can cause death. Throughout the game, bottles containing a [[heart]] are found, and should a player break one, the [[heart]] inside will act as a shield until an enemy attacks, after which the [[heart]] will break. If every player in the game has a [[heart]] and they collect another one, they will get [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] for it too. In multiplayer mode, if one player dies, they can float around and come back to life if they come to close enough contact with a surviving player. If all of the players die, then they will return to a previous checkpoint, normally a [[Darkblocker]] where the player had go through before, or the last place where the player broke a [[cage]].
-In 31 levels of the game, there is a time trial mode, which the players can unlock by completing the level for the first time. They will find a floating clock at the start of the level.

-The majority of the game's score was written by French composer [[Christophe Héral]], who had previously worked with [[Michel Ancel]] and [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]] on the 2003 videogame ''[[Beyond Good and Evil|Beyond Good & Evil]]''.

+[[File:Rayman Origins Enchanted Edition Logo.jpg|thumb|320px|The game's logo.]]
+An enhanced edition of ''Rayman Origins'' is set to release on October 1, 2026. The game is set to feature improved textures that support 4K resolution, 60 FPS gameplay, and a number of new features. The game will be included with any edition of ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' for free, but it will also be made available as a standalone purchase.
+The enhanced edition will feature 60 [[relic]]s and two mosaics, collectibles that were originally exclusive to the PlayStation Vita version of ''Rayman Origins''. There will also be 39 [[List of achievements and trophies in Rayman Origins|achievements]] across all platforms, including 10 new Ubisoft Connect ones, 18 new skins and 50 brand new [[The Photographer#The photoboards|photoboards]].
+The game will feature new quality-of-life features, such as the ability to skip cutscenes and speed up the end-of-level sequence, a running toggle, control remapping, and vibration and haptics that vary depending on the character that the player uses.
+The enhanced edition will also feature new accessibility options to make the game easier. Upon completing a level, [[Murfy]] will be made available to point out any remaining collectibles with a sound cue, making it easier for players to find anything they missed. Two new [[heart]]s are also being added: a gold heart, which returns from ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'' and protects the player from two hits, and a diamond heart that defends them from infinite damage. A new Fairy Blessing can also be activated, granting the heroes free flight and the ability to damage enemies as they move through them, thus making them nearly invincible.
+Finally, [[the Snoring Tree]] will be expanded to feature over 70 pieces of concept art that are unlocked by collecting [[Lum Medal]]s and a dedicated area for the heroes to browse through and take pictures with the [[The Photographer#The photoboards|standee]]s that they have unlocked.
+Like with ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'', the game was leaked prior to its official reveal. On May 29, 2026, the game briefly appeared on the Xbox Store with a placeholder price of $2,000.<ref>Xbox.com (via archive.org), ''Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition'', https://web.archive.org/web/20260529211101/https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/rayman-origins-enhanced-edition/9PHH9TN3PSCG/</ref> Although the page was taken down approximately 45 minutes later, it featured the game's official box art, a product description, and several screenshots showcasing new content.

 Reviewers praised ''Rayman Origins'' for its vibrant and detailed cartoon graphics, as well as its fittingly whimsical soundtrack. The gameplay was considered well-balanced, offering both an accessible experience for new players and a satisfying challenge for experienced ones. The decision to add co-operative multiplayer to the series was well-received. Criticism focused on the lack of a clear storyline in the game, and the chaotic nature of the gameplay when three or four people are playing simultaneously.
