'''''Rayman Gold''''' is a remake of the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']] that was released for the PC in 1997. It contains the original game, as well as 24 brand new levels, and a level building tool that is like ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. The 24 new levels are said to be much harder than any in the original Rayman.
'''''Rayman Gold''''' is a bundle of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' that was released for the PC in 1997. The ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' game which comes in this bundle is oddly enough called ''Rayman Gold'' although it is the same game as ''[[Rayman Designer|Designer]]''. Some copies also comes with 4 making of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' videos.


==The 24 new levels==
==The 24 new levels==
24 new levels come with ''Rayman Gold''. They are slightly different to original Rayman gameplay, as instead of having to free [[Electoon]]s and get to the end of a level, Rayman must collect all the [[Ting]]s in a level to make the [[exit sign]] appear. There are no cages, bosses, rising water, etc. here.

==[[The Dream Forest]]==
The 24 new levels come with ''Rayman Gold''. They are slightly different from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]'s gameplay, as instead of having to free [[Electoon]]s and get to the end of a level, [[Rayman]] must collect all the [[Ting]]s in a level to make the [[exit sign]] appear. There are no [[cage]]s, bosses, rising water, etc. here.
'''The Sky's the Limit''':
This level introduces one of the new features of the game, the inflatable [[balloon]]s. Rayman must use these balloons to get across large rivers and reach up to high areas.


'''Fruity Fun''':
==Issues with OS compatibility==
A long, difficult level with lots of [[plum]]s and [[spiky fruit]]s.
Both [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] and the ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' expansion kit are DOS applications. They usually run well under pure DOS or under Windows 95/98/ME, but may have issues with NT-based versions of Windows (2000 and later). If the game does not run out of the box, there are unofficial patches that can improve compatibility. Alternatively, the DOSBox emulator may be used.


'''Junglemania''':
However, the main installer, as well as the level editor (mapper) are Windows applications, which will not run under pure DOS. There seems to be no DOS-based installer for the ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' part of ''Rayman Gold'', but the files can be copied manually from the CD. [[Rayman 1|The original ''Rayman'']] shipping with ''Rayman Gold'' has a DOS installer, which can also be run from Windows.
Rayman gets to use the [[Magic seed|seed power]] here. He must plant the seeds to grow plants that will help him reach places he couldn't normally reach.


'''Ring a Ling''':
==Issues with missing audio tracks==
This level has lots of [[flying ring]]s and is good practice for using them.
The Focus Multimedia / Revival Multimedia UK re-release (distributed on a CD with part number '''ESS254''' or '''REV023''') is missing all audio tracks, resulting in no music during either game (sound effects work fine). The copy of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] shipped with this release will still recognize [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] CD for music, but this workaround will not work for ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. The original big-box UK release is not affected by this problem. The Nordic version of ''Rayman Gold'' from PC BEST BUY #37, made in Denmark, includes all soundtracks.

'''Gone with the Wind''':
==See also==
This level has lots of [[trumpet]]s, which make it difficult for Rayman to keep his footing on the slippery sheet music.

==References==
Rayman must make use of the trumpets and sheet music to reach extreme heights without falling.
