It’s a peaceful world, inhabited by an innocent tribe, menaced by a terrible danger: an army of bloody pirate machines. From the best-selling videogame comes the only hero who can save the day.

—Text, Rayman Adventures trailer

Rayman Adventures is a cancelled Rayman game. Its existence is only known thanks to a teaser trailer dated from the year of 2000. It is not confirmed if this was the original concept of Rayman 2000 or something different entirely. It is possible that this was an early name for Rayman Revolution, a PlayStation 2 remake of Rayman 2, but this is also unconfirmed.

Plot

The game’s plot is entirely unknown outside of the teaser, so that video’s contents will be described here.

The trailer, likely set during the plot of Rayman 2, opens in a forest location in the Glade of Dreams, possibly the Woods of Light or the Menhir Hills. Globox is seen riding a red shell (that he somehow tamed, despite it being impossible in Rayman 2) through the forest, with Rayman passing him on his own walking shell later on in the trailer. The scene then cuts to what appears to be a grown-up Catastrox relaxing in a dark forest and yawning. The trailer cuts to a scene with the Buccaneer deploying a fleet of warships filled with Red Henchmen 800. One in particular is seen aiming at Globox just outside the dark forest that Catastrox was seen in earlier, with him fearfully putting his hands up in surrender. The forest is shown to be under Robo-Pirate control, due to their flag being shown in the location, suggesting that this may be the Fairy Glade or an entirely different area. Out of nowhere, Rayman lands on a second Red Henchman 800 and spins its head around, sending it flying. He prepares to punch it, but it doesn’t come down, much to his confusion. He jumps off of the Henchman 800 and it falls to the ground. The first Henchman 800 then directs its attention to Rayman, firing an energy projectile at him. Luckily, the aforementioned head finally falls down, allowing Rayman to catch it and deflect the shot with it.

The trailer cuts to another scene where Rayman stands on a rock in a body of water (possibly the Iron Mountains), confronting three warships. Three Red Henchmen 800 prepare to attack him from one of them, with one of them saying “Freeze, you big powderpuff!” (a rare instance in which a Henchman 800 talks). One of the warships fires a cannonball, but Rayman catches it and throws it back at it, blowing it up. He then uses the super helicopter, which should be impossible since he lost that power beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava, to fly towards the three Henchmen 800. Their fate is unknown, but they are likely destroyed, as Rayman is then seen piloting one of the warships towards a strange blue portal. It is possible that this portal is where the Buccaneer came from earlier, but this is not confirmed. He approaches two rocks and tries (and fails) to fly between them, with him crashing the ship. Nothing else is shown from here except for Rayman peeking from behind a hill, presumably checking if the coast is clear from Henchmen 800.
