| text = In [[Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]], everything was happy and peaceful. One day, when the [[fairy]] [[Betilla]] and I were enjoying all this, I received a mysterious letter.

What I had not realised is that the wicked [[Mr Dark]] had been spying on us. He had been listening to our conversation. He crept up on us and took us by surprise, and made off with the letter from my cousin. Then, with an evil laugh, he cast a spell over us, which he had invented himself. If no one came to our rescue, [[Betilla]] and I, in a few hours' time, we would be turned into ugly garden gnomes. And [[Mr Dark]] would have all the time in the world in which to decipher and use the magic secret instead of me. No, that must be prevented at all costs! [[Rayman]] to the rescue! Get my cousin's letter back from [[Mr Dark|Dark]]. Decipher the secret written in French before he can do so, and break the evil spell which threatens us. You will have to go through many tests, but we still have a few hours left in which we can help you.

The events of the game are set into motion when [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the Magician]], while in his garden with [[Betilla]] the fairy, receives a letter from a foreign cousin: either an English one named [[Andrew]], a French one called [[Pierre]], a German one called [[Hans]] or a Spanish one called [[Pedro]]. It contains a recipe for a magic spell. However, [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the Magician]] is unable to read the language in question. He explains to [[Betilla]] that he and his cousin grew up together and graduated as magicians on the same day. Suddenly, [[Mr Dark]] appears, snatches the recipe from [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the Magician]]'s hands, casts a spell which will turn them into garden gnomes in a few hours, and flees. [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|The Magician]] then calls [[Rayman]] on his telephone and asks him for help.

==Gameplay==

Most regional releases are available in three levels of difficulty, but some, like the games that teach French and the PlayStation releases, are only available in one. Sometimes, all three levels of difficulty are available in the same game and can be selected from the menu, and sometimes, they are split into two different games, one for level 1 and another for levels 2 and 3. The different levels of difficulty do not only provide different educational tasks, but also different maps within levels, sometimes almost identical, sometimes completely different: the maps are usually longer and harder in the higher levels. The differences between languages, for a given map and difficulty, are always minor.

In addition to the main levels, there is an area called [[Betilla's garden]], containing five short levels which the player may play to practice their skills without losing [[Life|lives]]. The game also features a new world map, different from that of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].
