'''Top of the World''' is the strangely named penultimate level before the [[Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remake ''[[Rayman DS]]''.  Top of the World was taken out of ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]'', and its two segments were put in the form of the [[Chair Ride]] mini-game and the second half of the [[Echoing Caves]], probably due to Top of the World's role as a "filler" level in ''Rayman 2''.

==Description==
The globe's peak is a high-tech [[Robo-Pirate]] fortress located far from civilization. The only way to reach the hidden fort is via a speeding chair. The fortress itself is intensely patrolled solely by [[Barrel Pirate]]s, though [[Gorilla Pirate]]s and small outposts guard the entrance. The fortress is characterized by its many red carpet-filled hallways. With only two segments, one of which is just the chair ride, it is one of the shortest levels in the game.

The Top of the World is a location in Rayman 2. It follows the Precipice and is the thirteenth level in the original and Dreamcast versions of the game, but it does not appear in the PlayStation version, Rayman 2 Forever and Rayman Revolution, although in the latter its two segments are still present, in the form of the Roller Coaster Challenge minigame and the second half of the Echoing Caves.

The globe's peak is a high-tech Robo-Pirate fortress located far from civilization. The only way to reach the hidden fort is via a speeding chair. The fortress itself is intensely patrolled solely by Barrel Pirates, though Gorilla Pirates and small outposts guard the entrance. The fortress is characterized by its many red carpet-filled hallways. With only two segments, one of which is just the chair ride, it is one of the shortest levels in the game.

The Top of the World was originally called "The Roof of the World".[1]
