==Description==
'''Roller Coaster Challenge''' is a minigame from ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', it formed the first segment of [[the Top of the World]].
Located deep in the [[Marshlands|swamp]] is a special chair--anybody who rides it finds themselves on a wild rollarcoaster ride through many dangerous obstacles.  In ''Rayman 2'', the ride passes through a forest and some pipes (it is also well to note that in ''Rayman 2'' the ride begins in a [[The Canopy|Canopy]]-like setting instead of a swamp). In ''Revolution'', the ride passes through a forest and then arrives at a seaside cliff covered in barren rock and dead trees.  In both versions, many pirate fortresses stand in the chair's way.


==As a Level==
Located deep in the swamps is a special chair—anybody who rides it finds themselves on a wild rollercoaster ride through many dangerous obstacles. Unlike ''[[Rayman 2]]'', in which the ride begins in a [[The Canopy|Canopy]]-like setting and then passes through a forest and some pipes, the ride in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' begins in a swamp, passes through ravines, a seaside cliff covered in barren rock and dead trees, a dark forest and some pipelines. In both versions, many [[Robo-Pirate]] installations stand in the chair's way.
The chair ride is a unique segment of the game in which the player must tilt the control stick/pad left or right to spin a speeding chair either clockwise or counter-clockwise so as to avoid incoming obstacles. However, the story behind the chair is different depending on the version.


===''Rayman 2''/''Rayman DS''===
Before [[Rayman]] may request that [[Ly]] the Fairy takes him to the Roller Coaster Challenge, [[Rayman]] must have collected ten [[Familiar Spirit]]s. Afterwards, the Roller Coaster Challenge will always be accessible from [[Ly's House]], [[Ly's Stele]], and [[Ly's Cave]].
Before [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] arrives at the beginning of the Top of the World level, an [[Ape Pirate]] rides the chair out of a hidden [[Top of the World|Robo-Pirate Fortress]]. It lands on a small cliff with a crash, and gets up just as Rayman arrives via a [[Magic Spiral Door]].  The Ape Pirate is quick to attack Rayman, but Rayman dodges onto the chair.  Suddenly the chair takes off, rendering Rayman almost helpless.  He must dodge pipes, fortresses, lasers, and grates before he may successfully arrive at the fortress.


===''Revolution''===
After [[Ly]] transports him to the swamp, [[Rayman]] must leap onto a speeding chair. The chair sends him on a wild ride through forests, mountains, and other scenic locations. The player must tilt the control stick left or right to spin a speeding chair either clockwise or counter-clockwise so as to avoid incoming obstacles. The Roller Coaster Challenge is [[Rayman]]'s first opportunity to increase his HP bar in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. However, to do so, each of the twenty [[Red Lum]]s must be collected—if [[Rayman]] misses even one, completing the ride will not count and he must start over again without any [[Red Lum]]s.
Before Rayman may request that [[Ly the Fairy]] take him to the Chair Ride, Rayman must have collected 10 [[Fairy Familiar|Fairy Familiars]]. Afterwards, the Chair Ride will always be available at [[Ly's House]], [[Ly's Stele]], and [[Ly's Stone]].


After Ly transports Rayman to the swamp, Rayman must leap onto a speeding chair. The chair sends him on a wild ride through forests, mountains, and other scenic locations.  To successfully complete the level, however, Rayman must collect every [[Red Lum]] on his first try--if he misses even one, completing the ride will not count and he must start over again without any Red Lums.
There are no enemies on the ride, apart from a machine above a door that fires large bullets at [[Rayman]]. The machine does not have to be destroyed to complete the minigame, but [[Rayman]] can shoot it with his [[magic fist]].


The Chair Ride is Rayman's first opportunity to increase his HP bar in ''Revolution''. However, to do so every Red Lum must be collected. The Chair Ride in ''Revolution'' is notably harder than its ''Rayman 2'' counterpart, especially due to this added requirement.
