'''''Rayman in Hands Down!''''' was a one-off, four-page comic that was based on ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. It was currently known to have been published in the United States in a children's comic called Disney Adventures, and in the United Kingdom in a similar magazine called Disney's Big Time in 2001. It typically had a generic cartoon look that appears to have been heavily referenced from several concept artworks for the game, and used cheesy hand-related punchlines. ~~The artist(s) and script writers are unknown, and no other official Rayman comics has been published or discovered ever since.~~

==Story==

[[Rayman]], [[Ly]] and [[Globox]] arrive to fight [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and his lackey within a vast junkyard. Angry with his lackey gradually being defeated, Razorbeard withdraws a magic cage which zaps Globox and traps him. Ly then comes up with a plan to free Globox, which involves lifting Rayman and making him bounce back into action. He throws his fist to attack the pirates as well as firing it at the magic cage until it finds its weakest spot, eventually freeing Globox, who then uses his Rain Dance to try and make the pirates rust. They retreat from the rain, leaving Rayman and his friends to claim victory.

==Hidden tips==

All the hidden tips in the story are written backwards, one on each of the four pages, and the reader has to hold the book up to a mirror to read them.

Bonus [[Yellow Lum|Lums]]: When you arrive near the castle, duck into the cave on your left to find a [[cage]] full of [[Yellow Lum|Lums]].

===[[The Menhir Hills]]===

Secret Passage: When you're on the bridge riding the [[Walking shell|missile with legs]], use the turbo to speed up. Move left and you'll notice a secret passage on a broken bridge. Take it to find a bunch of [[Red Lum]]s for extra life points!

===[[The Precipice]]===

Short Cut: After the first check point, move the two planks of wood in front of you, then jump through the net above you to find a short cut!

===[[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice]]===

Trick Style Moves: When you face [[Axel|the final Boss of the world]], dodge the Boss's shots by moving forwards and catching the [[Purple Lum|Lums]] sideways!
