Allegro Presto: Difference between revisions

'''Allegro Presto''' (French: '''''Allegro Presto''''') is the second level in [[Band Land]], the second world of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. It consists of five stages during the first playthrough, and only three during subsequent visits, because in one stage, [[Rayman]] meets [[Mr Sax]], and in the last stage he receives his well-known [[helicopter]] ability from [[Betilla the Fairy]].

This level requires quick reflexes as [[Rayman]] will be sliding for most of the time. However, sliding has not been programmed in the Atari Jaguar version, and as a result, [[Rayman]] will have to crawl in tight spaces, and there are more enemies – mainly [[hunter]]s and [[moth]]s – scattered throughout the level.

==Part 2==

[[Image:TrompetteSaut.png|thumb|316px|left|[[Trumpet]]s blow at [[Rayman]]]]

This first and last level to contain [[trumpet]]s. No other enemies apart from [[wrong note]]s and [[hitting stick]]s appear in this part of Allegro Presto.  Again in the Atari Jaguar version, [[Rayman]] cannot slide on the bars, neither do the trumpets suck air in, so he would have to defeat any that are in his way.  More [[cloud]]s are added in this version of the level. Versions based upon the PC code base feature a secret area with 4 extra lives, which requires a difficult jump to reach. The [[Rayman DSi|DSi port]] adds additonal platforms to make the jump simpler.

==Part 3==

This part is over a huge void, and Rayman must be careful not to fall off the slippery sheet music. The end of this part forshadows [[Gong Heights]] as Rayman has to use a [[Monk]] to reach the end of the level.

At the end of the level, [[Rayman]] will meet [[Mr Sax]], who will blow [[wrong note]]s at him. [[Rayman]] will simply have to punch one of them back, and the giant saxophone will leave the level. Once [[Mr Sax]] has been defeated in his [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo|Hullaballoo]], this phase will not be visited again. It is also missing in the Jaguar version.
