'''The Iron Mountains''' (also known as '''the Gloomy Island''') is a location in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes. It is where [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth and final mask of Polokus]] is found, though it is not necessarily a sanctuary.

This level is set high up in the mountainous regions of the [[Glade of Dreams]], where a number of [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] strongholds are built. Deep in the canyons nearby are mines in which a large number of [[baby Globox]]es are held captive. Many [[Robo-Pirate]]s patrol the area.

===Phase 1 – The Gloomy Island===

[[Rayman]] is outside a metalworks building with a [[generator]] room inside, and he has to shoot two [[switch]]es to deactivate an electric field and go down the middle of a rotating machine and into a pipe that leads to a grassy area. Going though another tunnel past a swampy lake, there is another [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] stronghold which is notable in the Dreamcast version of the game for featuring the only [[switch]] which can be turned on and off with [[Rayman]]'s [[magic fist]], rather than just on once. Once at the top of the stronghold, [[Rayman]] has to jump off and glide down a rapid river. At the edge is a hot air [[balloon]] which he hops in and rides.

===Phase 2 – The [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]]===

===Phase 3 – [[The Pirate Mines]]===

Deep in a canyon, [[Rayman]] has to cross a polluted pond, and he will eventually meet [[Uglette]], [[Globox]]'s wife, who is extremely sad by the fact that more of [[Baby Globox|her babies]] are missing and held in the mines. The player then takes control of a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] [[warship]] and has to manoeuver it through the canyons and find the four [[The Pirate Mines|mines]], collecting many [[baby Globox]]es from each one. When all of the mines are visited, [[Rayman]] has to bring the [[warship]] back to [[Uglette]] to reunite her with [[Baby Globox|her babies]]. One of them withdraws [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] from its mouth and tells [[Rayman]] that he found it in [[The Pirate Mines|the Mines]]. He then gives [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] to [[Rayman]], who is transported to [[Polokus]].

 

*During the [[Walking shell|shell]] ride, a [[List of glitches in Rayman 2|glitch]] allows [[Rayman]] to jump outside the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]] without activating the [[switch]]es and saving [[Baby Globox|the babies]].

*The first [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] in the swampy area has been moved back, shoots [[helicopter bomb]]s and drills through the ground. Also, two [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] have been added near the start of [[the Pirate Mines]].

*[[Piranha]]s added: 2 in the bridge in the beginning of the level and one in the swampy area where the two [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] are fought.

*Graphical changes in the [[generator]] room with the two [[switch]]es, some structures changed, the pool of polluted water and ceiling is replaced with a floor and [[cage]]d ceiling with a slow, circular, ominous red [[laser]], same thing is given with the middle stalactite-like structure. The outside of the building is also foggier and the polluted water is changed to plain green (however, both of these were reverted in [[Rayman 3D|the 3DS version]].)

*Because of this, there is a new Guardian called [[Grolem 13]], who guards [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]]. He is fought in a new phase added to the end of the Iron Mountains, which takes the place of [[the Pirate Mines]] phase.
