The Moody Clouds is the sixth world in Rayman Origins. It consists of a sprawling flying city suspended amidst a raging thunderstorm above Mystical Pique. This world features extensive machinery and incorporates retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics.

Description

The Moody Clouds is a skybound world dominated by a colossal mechanical factory, which Rayman and his team must infiltrate. This hazardous environment features both technological and meteorological dangers.

The factory itself is heavily populated by mechanical enemies, such as robots that are impervious to standard attacks. The heroes will encounter automated hazards such as moving buzzsaws and electric arcs. Additionally, the airspace is patrolled by both big and small mecha flies.

Compounding these threats are the turbulent storm clouds surrounding the factory. These meteorological hazards pose a constant risk, with lightning strikes capable of inflicting damage upon the heroes.

Mystical Pique

Following the liberation of the Four Kings, the heroes return to the Dreamer's Door at the top of Mystical Pique, where the nymphs and Teensies are now able to send them to the Moody Clouds. Their journey begins aboard giant giant mosquitoes, navigating treacherous storm clouds before reaching a massive airborne factory. It is here they encounter the Magician, who reveals himself as both the mastermind behind the complex machinery, powered by the Lums provided by the heroes, as well as a devoted admirer of Mr Dark. A chase ensues across the mechanical expanse and through the turbulent skies, with the heroes once again aided by their giant mosquito allies. Eventually, they catch up to the Magician, who accidentally causes the destruction of the Moody Clouds, and they fall from the sky onto the Snoring Tree, ending the events of the game.

Uniquely, the final three levels of the Moody Clouds are played continuously, without returning to the world map between stages. Players retain the ability to exit and restart from a previous level within this sequence, however.

The Moody Clouds is notable for being one of only three worlds in Rayman Origins not to be revisited under a different name. This distinction is shared with Mystical Pique and the Land of the Livid Dead. Additionally, it is the only world to feature two distinct giant mosquito levels.
