==Original version==
This level is set high up in the mountainous regions of the [[Glade of Dreams]], where a number of [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] strongholds are built. Deep in the canyons nearby are mines in which a large number of [[baby Globox]]es are held captive. Many [[Robo-Pirate]]s patrol the area.

===Phase 1 – The Gloomy Island===
[[Rayman]] is outside a metalworks building with a [[generator]] room inside, and he has to shoot two [[switch]]es to deactivate an electric field and go down the middle of a rotating machine and into a pipe that leads to a grassy area. Going though another tunnel past a swampy lake, there is another [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] stronghold which is notable in the Dreamcast version of the game for featuring the only [[switch]] which can be turned on and off with [[Rayman]]'s [[magic fist]], rather than just on once. Once at the top of the stronghold, [[Rayman]] has to jump off and glide down a rapid river. At the edge is a hot air [[balloon]] which he hops in and rides.
 
===Phase 2 – The [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]]===
He then lands in a field with yet another stronghold, which is this time guarded by the invincible giant [[Robot Dinosaur]], despatched by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s to find [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] before [[Rayman]] does. The [[Robot Dinosaur]] is so heavy, every time it jumps it sends objects bouncing up into the air. [[Rayman]] can make use of these objects to infiltrate the stronghold (the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]]), where a few [[baby Globox]]es are being held captive. [[Rayman]] soon finds a [[walking shell]] and has to ride about the outside of [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children|the Reformatory]] to collect some [[Yellow Lum]]s and find two [[switch]]es (three [[switch]]es in the PlayStation version) to release [[Baby Globox|the babies]].


===Phase 1===
===Phase 3 – [[The Pirate Mines]]===
[[Rayman]] is outside a metalworks building with a generator room inside, and he has to shoot two [[switch]]es to deactivate an electric field and go down the middle of a rotating machine and into a pipe that leads to a grassy area. Going though another tunnel past a swampy lake, there is another pirate stronghold which [[Rayman]] has to jump from the top and glide down a rapid river. At the edge is a hot air balloon which [[Rayman]] hops in and rides.
Deep in a canyon, [[Rayman]] has to cross a polluted pond, and he will eventually meet [[Uglette]], [[Globox]]'s wife, who is extremely sad by the fact that more of [[Baby Globox|her babies]] are missing and held in the mines. The player then takes control of a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] [[warship]] and has to manoeuver it through the canyons and find the four [[The Pirate Mines|mines]], collecting many [[baby Globox]]es from each one. When all of the mines are visited, [[Rayman]] has to bring the [[warship]] back to [[Uglette]] to reunite her with [[Baby Globox|her babies]]. One of them withdraws [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] from its mouth and tells [[Rayman]] that he found it in [[The Pirate Mines|the Mines]]. He then gives [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] to [[Rayman]], who is transported to [[Polokus]].


===Phase 2===
<gallery widths="320px" heights="240px">
He then lands in a field with yet another stronghold, which is this time guarded by an invincible giant robot that resembles a dinosaur or perhaps a chicken. The robot is so heavy, everytime it jumps it sends objects in the air, making it useful for [[Rayman]] to infiltrate the stronghold (the Reformatory for Disturbing Children), which has a few [[baby Globox]]es are held captive. [[Rayman]] soon finds a walking shell and has to ride all over the place to collect [[Yellow Lums]] and find two [[switch]]es (three [[switch]]es in the PlayStation version) to release the babies.

===Phase 3===  
===Trivia===
Deep in a canyon Rayman has to cross a polluted pond, and he'll eventually meet [[Uglette]], [[Globox]]'s wife, who is upset by the fact that more of her babies are missing and held in the mines. The player then takes control of a pirate ship and has to fly it around the canyons and find the four [[The Pirate Mines|mines]]. When all of mines are visited, the ship has to go back to [[Uglette]] and reunite the babies. One of them withdraws the last mask from its mouth and gives it to [[Rayman]].
*During the [[Walking shell|shell]] ride, a [[List of glitches in Rayman 2|glitch]] allows [[Rayman]] to jump outside the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]] without activating the [[switch]]es and saving [[Baby Globox|the babies]].

==Dreamcast version==
Most of this level is identical to the original version, but with the following exception:


*At the neat end of Phase 1, before the hot air balloon, a Globox Crystal is found - this is the last of the six to collect.
This level is nearly identical to the original version, with the following differences:
 
*At the neat end of phase 1, before the hot air [[balloon]], a [[Glob Crystal]] is found – this is the last of the six to collect.
*The first [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] in the swampy area has been moved back, shoots [[helicopter bomb]]s and drills through the ground. Also, two [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] have been added near the start of [[the Pirate Mines]].
*[[Piranha]]s added: 2 in the bridge in the beginning of the level and one in the swampy area where the two [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] are fought.
*Graphical changes in the [[generator]] room with the two [[switch]]es, some structures changed, the pool of polluted water and ceiling is replaced with a floor and [[cage]]d ceiling with a slow, circular, ominous red [[laser]], same thing is given with the middle stalactite-like structure. The outside of the building is also foggier and the polluted water is changed to plain green (however, both of these were reverted in [[Rayman 3D|the 3DS version]].)
*One change was made to [[Rayman 3D|the 3DS version]]: in phase 3, the [[plum]] used to reach a large [[Yellow Lum]] was removed, and [[Yellow Lum|the Lum]] now homes into [[Rayman]], making it much easier to collect.

==Playstation version==
In this version, the level is called Gloomy Island, and Phase 3 from the original version was cut. 


|-
In this version, the level is called the Gloomy Island, and the third phase has been completely removed. At the beginning, [[Rayman]] sees [[Uglette]], and she tells him that [[Baby Globox|her babies]] were taken to the [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] stronghold. [[Rayman]] has to locate it and rescue them.
|{{Template:R2PS2Level
 
Phase 1 of the level is used in part, but is heavily edited in some areas. As said above, [[Uglette]] informs [[Rayman]] of [[Baby Globox|the children]]'s capture at the very start of the level, not towards the end. This gives [[Rayman]] more purpose to being here in this version, rather than seemingly wandering randomly as in other versions.
 
There is a bizarre inconsistency here not present in other versions due to the [[Uglette]] cutscene occurring at the very start of the level. When the player enters the level from [[the Hall of Doors]], the game will load, then jump straight into the cutscene with Uglette, which shows [[Rayman]] already in the level, comforting [[Uglette]]. However, after the cutscene, [[Rayman]] emerges from the [[Spiral Door]] as usual, and lands next to a weeping [[Uglette]].

==Playstation 2 version (''Rayman Revolution'')==
Rayman is given the Rain Mask instead, and has to fight Grolem 13 in order to get the final mask.


This level remains the same, but with the following exceptions:
*The [[Gorilla Pirate]] inside the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]] has been replaced with a pair of [[Henchman 800|Henchmen 800]].
*While riding the [[Walking shell|shell]] next to the [[Robot Dinosaur]], the camera changes to an overhead view, making it easier to direct [[Robot Dinosaur|the robot]] and collect the [[Yellow Lum]]s.
*Phase 3 in which [[Rayman]] commandeers a [[warship]] to rescue the [[baby Globox]]es has been omitted from this level, and is used as its own level called [[the Pirate Mines]]. Instead of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]], a [[baby Globox]] rewards [[Rayman]] with the [[Rain Mask]] instead.
*Because of this, there is a new Guardian called [[Grolem 13]], who guards [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]]. He is fought in a new phase added to the end of the Iron Mountains, which takes the place of [[the Pirate Mines]] phase.
*An extra minigame known as [[the Schplong]] is featured in this level. To access it, the player must press the square or the circle button 15 times whilst on the hot air [[balloon]].
