At the beginning of the level, [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] meet up with [[Otto Psi|Otto]], [[Roméo Patti|Roméo]] and [[Gonzo]], who tell the duo that [[Reflux]] and [[André]] have already stolen [[Gumsi]]'s [[Sceptre of the Leptys|sceptre]], and offer to use the locked door behind them to catch up with them. [[Globox]] tries unsuccessfully to open the door with a series of chants (believing the door is 'magic') whilst [[Rayman]] has to take a portal to collect all fifteen [[crown]]s required to unlock the door. Almost immediately after leaving the portal, [[Rayman]] has to fight his [[Crazy Shoe]] to obtain a [[LockJaw]] to ascend the area and collect [[crown]]s. Once all have been collected, [[Rayman]] must step on the button in front of [[Globox]] to access the next area.

The score thresholds for this stage are 5000 points for 25% (2 stars), 10000 points for 50% (3 stars), 15000 points for 75% (4 stars) and 20000 points for 100% (5 stars).

Once more, [[Globox]] tries to open the door by chanting at it. [[Rayman]] must follow a path into a hall containing entrances into several challenges to obtain the necessary forty [[crown]]s. First of all, he must jump from one side of the huge room to the other before a gate closes. Then he must repeatedly hit [[switch]]es to raise himself up to access the rest of the hall, which contains three more challenges. One challenge involves jumping up platforms rapidly to access a small chamber full of [[crown]]s, another makes use of a machine that moves forward every time [[Rayman]] hits a [[switch]] with a curved [[Telescopic fist|punch]], and the last one involves jumping across platforms with no time limit. Once all [[crown]]s have been collected, [[Rayman]] must stand on the [[switch]] in front of [[Globox]] again, to gain entry to the very last part of the level - a beach, where the three [[Teensie doctor|doctors]] offer the heroes a boat to [[The Summit Beyond the Clouds|catch up with Reflux and André]].

The score thresholds for this stage are 2183 points for 25% (2 stars), 4365 points for 50% (3 stars), 6548 points for 75% (4 stars) and 8730 points for 100% (5 stars).
In ''[[Rayman 3 HD]]'', the room where [[Rayman]] must hit a machine with curved [[Telescopic fist|punches]] has the wall on the left moved closer inside, making it smaller.
 
The score thresholds for this stage are 1938 points for 25% (2 stars), 3875 points for 50% (3 stars), 5813 points for 75% (4 stars) and 7750 points for 100% (5 stars). This is one of two stages in the game where the score requirement differs in the GameCube version. There the 100% requirement is instead 8730 points, with the other requirements changed proportionally, making the score most likely impossible to achieve in this version. This is the same requirement as listed in the [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc: Official Strategy Guide|official strategy guide]].
