'''Top of the World''' is the strangely named penultimate level before the [[Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remake ''[[Rayman DS]]''.  Top of the World was taken out of ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]'', and its two segments were put in the form of the [[Chair Ride]] mini-game and the second half of the [[Echoing Caves]], probably due to Top of the World's role as a "filler" level in ''Rayman 2''.
'''The Top of the World''' is a location in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. It follows [[the Precipice]] and is the thirteenth level in the original and Dreamcast versions of the game, but it does not appear in the PlayStation version, ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'' and ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', although in the latter its two segments are still present, in the form of the [[Roller Coaster Challenge]] [[Ly's Challenges|minigame]] and the second half of [[the Echoing Caves]].


==Description==
The globe's peak is a high-tech [[Robo-Pirate]] fortress located far from civilization. The only way to reach the hidden fort is via a speeding chair. The fortress itself is intensely patrolled solely by [[Barrel Pirate]]s, though [[Gorilla Pirate]]s and small outposts guard the entrance. The fortress is characterized by its many red carpet-filled hallways. With only two segments, one of which is just the chair ride, it is one of the shortest levels in the game.

===The Fortress===
===Phase 1===
As [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] arrives in the Top of the World Fortress an alarm goes off.  The Barrel Pirates are on the alert, and soon Rayman must plow his way through dozens of them.  After passing through many crate-filled storage areas, he discovers the [[Gatekeeper Teensie]] is nowhere near the exit.  Indeed, he must backtrack to search out the Teensie--but once he does, the rest of the level is a cakewalk.
[[Rayman]] must defeat the [[Gorilla Pirate]] and jump onto the chair to enter a [[Robo-Pirate]] base, avoiding all obstacles in the way.


In ''Revolution'', this segment is followed by a [[Generator Room]].

==Characters==
===Phase 2===
===Enemies===
As [[Rayman]] arrives in the Top of the World's [[Robo-Pirate]] installation, an alarm begins to sound. The [[Barrel Pirate]]s patrolling the corridors are on the alert, and soon [[Rayman]] must defeat several of them. After passing through many crate-filled storage areas, he discovers that the level's [[Teensie]] [[cage]] is nowhere near the exit. He must backtrack to search out the [[Teensie]], which is hidden in a secret passageway; after freeing the [[Teensie]], [[Rayman]] must escort him to the end of the level. The [[Teensie]] is not found in a [[cage]], instead relaxing on a throne and only getting up when [[Rayman]] unblocks the door.
