The '''Teensie Highways''', also known as the '''Disco Trips''', are a series of psychedelic wormholes which appear in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

==Description==

They are used by the [[Teensie]]s to traverse great distances. While passing through the Teensie Highways, [[Rayman]] uses his [[funkyboard]] to skate at high speed along the glowing staves, jumping from one to another and collecting [[Jewel|gems]]. [[Globox]] hangs upside-down from [[Mini-copter|a helicopter piloted by a Teensie]]. If [[Rayman]] falls off the staves, [[Mini-copter|the helicopter]] grabs him and places him at the most recent checkpoint.

There are three Teensie Highways in the game. The first Teensie Highway takes [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] from [[the Fairy Council]] to [[Clearleaf Forest]], where the [[Grand Minimus]] has told them they can find the [[Teensie doctor]], [[Otto Psi]]. The second Teensie Highway is meant to take them from [[Otto Psi|Otto]]'s office in the [[Clearleaf Forest]] to [[Roméo Patti]]'s office in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]; unfortunately this Teensie Highway is broken, and the heroes become lost in a dimensional rift. [[Rayman]] lands in [[the Bog of Murk]], in the outhouse of the witch [[Bégoniax]], thus provoking her wrath. The third Teensie Highway takes them from [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]] to [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], where they can find [[Art Rytus]], the third and final [[Teensie doctor]].

[[Ubisoft|The developers]] shared some information regarding the Teensie Highways in a 2003 interview with [[RaymanZone]]. The platforms [[Rayman]] skates across are referred to as ''staves''. It appears that the Teensie Highways are meant to have a very strong connection with music; like [[Band Land]] in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], the very platforms [[Rayman]] uses here are made of music. Additionally, the music that plays in the Teensie Highways reflects the music style of the American 1960s. The inspiration for the third and final Teensie Highway is not revealed; however, it is notable for including a screenshot from [[Rayman 1|the original game]] as one of the fleeting background images.

Another Easter Egg can be found near the beginning of the first Teensie Highway. Located to the left near the huge letters saying "LOVE" is where the USS Enterprise from ''Star Trek'' can be seen flying behind the letters. It is not easy to get a good look at it; jumping off the staves will give the player the best view. The Enterprise was probably placed here because the Teensie Highway is a wormhole, and wormholes are encountered frequently by the Enterprise - this location, out of all the places [[Rayman]] visits in the game, makes the most sense for the ship to be in.
