'''The Summit Beyond the Clouds''', also known as '''the Summit of Fury''', is a snow-based level in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', and the last in which the player uses the [[Funkyboard]]. [[Globox]] is frozen into an ice cube here and the player must use the Funkyboard to race him down the Summit and get to the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]]. The ski slope level with the Funkyboard looks similar to the Ski Slope level in ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''.

This level carries on directly from [[the Longest Shortcut]], where [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] acquire a boat from the three [[Teensie doctor]]s. The first stage involves the duo attempting to reach the titular summit itself via [[the Looming Sea]]. Globox steers the ship on a course to the icy landscape, however the [[Dark Lum Lord]] has sent giant, mechanical fish to attack the ship. Rayman must utilise the ship's cannons to blast away the fish before they do the same to the heroes. Eventually the heroes fight off the invasion, and Rayman departs from the ship once they reach the mountain. (What happens to Globox is unknown, as he cannot be seen on the ship when Rayman leaves.)

Over the side of the boat (off the port quarter) is a small crevice containing a few [[jewel|gems]]. Despite only being a few gems in this secret area, taking advantage of the other [[jewel|yellow gems]] can greatly improve the combo score by the following process. Wait for a lot of mechanical fish to appear. The idea is to get ten items before taking the [[jewel|green gem]] in combo. It can be done as follows: Get the [[Lockjaw]] and get up on the rail. Walk on the rail in direction of the secret room. The rail ends at a corner and at this corner it is possible to get to the upper deck through a glitch. The glitch works simply by walking into the corner. Don’t jump, just walk. It may take a few attempts before it’s working, but practice makes perfect. One should get to the upper deck as fast as possible as the fish are continually shooting the ship. When at the upper deck (with the Lockjaw naturally) make sure there are two fish out there. The combo starts by shooting the cannon. Quickly take the two yellow gems while jumping and using the [[helicopter]] to take the third yellow gem. Just before you go below the upper rail, shoot the cannon once again and drop to the lower deck and take the gems on the way down without hitting the [[Throttle Copter]] can as you land. Now run as fast as possible and jump on the rail and helicopter to the secret room taking the yellow gem on your left. Jump away and take the yellow gem on the right and finally take the green gem. <ref>https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4986</ref>

Rayman has to climb up the side of the mountain whilst being bombarded by [[Spinneroo]]s and giant snowballs. Eventually, he reaches a small arena where he has to fight some [[Hoodmonger Officer]]s and a pair of [[Lavomatrix]]es before continuing on to several passages filled with [[Hoodlum]]s. Eventually the path opens out to a frozen waterfall, dotted with various pipes. To escape the area, Rayman must survive a passage behind the waterfall filled with Hoodlums, carried in by [[Hoodloon]] forces.

After defeating the Lavomatrixes, a short way up the [[balloon]] trail is a secret cave hidden behind some trees that leads to a mine with some jewels.

Rayman arrives at the entrance to a Hoodlum camp. The area is barely infested by Hoodlums; a [[Slapdash]] standing in front of a hut is guarded by a [[Hoodoo]], and an additional sorcerer protects a [[Teensie]] [[cage]]. Once the Slapdash is dead, Rayman can proceed through the hut, where he automatically equips the [[Funkyboard]] and sets off down the mountain. Out of nowhere, Globox appears, frozen in ice but able to talk. Rayman must race Globox down the ice, ramming into Spinneroos and avoiding leaky gas pipes on the way. If Globox beats Rayman down, the duo will slide into cable-cars and the race will restart, but if Rayman wins the race, the combined weight of the two will send them into the [[Hoodlum Headquarters|Hoodlum factory below.]]

*In the first phase of this level (on the ship in the Looming Sea), it is possible to get an invincible, ever-lasting yellow copter. After all of the [[Hoodlum watercraft]] are defeated, if the player stands by the yellow can and keeps flying into it without touching the floor, the meter won't deplete. From here, it is possible to hover into a black space with an ominous green square.

*In the second phase, before the second [[Hoodlock]], if [[Rayman]] is near the left side of the area, it is possible to fly. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k9EM4Xg_r4 This glitch] works on PC and PS2.

*At the end of the first stage, Globox yells out "We're the kings of the world!" This is a reference to ''Titanic''.

*The summit's temperature is -61 degrees.
