'''The Infinite Tower''' is a location that features in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. It is one of the locations that the [[Online Challenges]] can take place in and is also the setting for the levels [[Up, Up and Get Away!]] and [[Up, Up and Escape!]].


==Overview==
'''The Infinite Tower''' is a location which appears in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. It is a seemingly endless, continuously sinking vertical structure characterized by its desert-like environment, where the heroes must constantly ascend to survive.

The Infinite Tower has a desert like aesthetic that takes some cues from the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. Much like the name implies, the location consists of a constantly sinking tall structure that appears to go on forever. The area does not contain enemies, but due to the constant sinking, it is important for players to ensure they remain ahead, lest they fall into the ground and sink. [[Darkroot]]s are also common obstacles, and are often placed in places to force the player to jump or otherwise manoeuvre around to prevent getting hit.
== Description ==
The Infinite Tower features a prominent desert-like aesthetic that takes visual cues from the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. As its name implies, the location consists of a tall, crumbling structure that appears to extend infinitely into the sky. The architecture is composed of sandy stone walls, ancient ruins, and wooden scaffolding. Growing vines and spiky [[Darkroot]]s frequently sprout throughout the environment, serving as natural hazards. The foundation of the tower is highly unstable, causing the entire structure to constantly sink downwards into the earth.
 
== In ''Rayman Legends'' ==
In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', the Infinite Tower serves as the setting for three specific levels: [[Quick Sand]], [[Up, Up and Get Away!]], and [[Up, Up and Escape!]]. It is also prominently featured as one of the recurring environments for the game's [[Online Challenges]].
 
Gameplay within the tower focuses heavily on verticality and speed. The area does not contain standard enemies; instead, the primary threat is the environment itself. Due to the constant sinking of the structure, it is crucial for the heroes to ensure they remain ahead. A confused or mistimed reaction will often lead to the heroes falling off-screen into the ground and immediately being [[Bubble|bubblized]]. To maintain their ascent, they will find themselves [[Wall run|wall-running]] and jumping frequently.  
 
[[Darkroot]]s are the most common obstacles and are deliberately placed in areas that force the heroes to jump or manoeuvre carefully around them to avoid taking damage. In order to successfully navigate through the tower, the heroes must be highly dextrous and react quickly to incoming obstacles and newly growing vines.
 
When featured in [[Online Challenges]], the objectives in the Infinite Tower tend to involve vertical distances, be it climbing as high as possible to survive, or reaching a specific height as fast as possible.

The Tower specialises in its vertical nature, players will find themselves jumping and wall-running often to maintain their ascent. In order to successfully navigate through the tower, players will need to be especially dextrous and react properly to incoming obstacles and growing vines and Darkroots, a confused or mistimed reaction will often lead to the player falling into the ground and immediately being bubblised, or hitting a Darkroot, thus, it is important to pay close attention in order to fulfil challenges set in this location.
== In ''Rayman Mini'' ==
An unused challenge in the style of the Infinite Tower can be found in the game files of ''[[Rayman Mini]]''. Loading it into the game will only include the template start and will not generate any bricks or layout variations. It may have been intended for a special event, but was eventually scrapped during development.


Challenges in the Infinite Tower tend to involve distances, be that getting as high as possible, or getting to a certain height as fast as possible.
