'''Lava Factory''' is the second Extreme race course in ''[[Rayman M]]''.
'''Lava Factory''' is the second racecourse in the Extreme League in ''[[Rayman M]]''. It can be unlocked by winning all three racing levels of the Expert League in the Race mode. In ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' for GameCube and Xbox, the map is featured in cup 4 (Beginner League and Master League) and cup 8 (Pro League) and completing [[Pipe Maze]] is necessary to unlock it. In the PlayStation version, ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', the level is a part of Zone 1 and becomes playable after winning [[Electric Final|Electric Tunnel]] in the Championship mode.

As its name suggests, Lava Factory takes place in a volcanic land full of flowing lava and [[Robo-Pirate]] machinery.

== Description ==
=== ''Rayman M'' ===
Lava Factory can be played in five modes in the single-player gameplay: Training, Race, Popolopoï (38 [[Popolopoï]]s), Lums (54 [[Yellow Lum]]s) and [[On and On]]. The Race and the Kill Time modes are available for the multiplayer gameplay. Two checkpoint lines and six [[switch]]es are featured.
 
The layout of the track is a simple squarish-in-shape loop. Lava Factory seems to be located in an environment similar to the one from the first section of [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] from ''[[Rayman 2]]'', with green hills, rivers of flowing lava and volcanoes in the background. Various [[Robo-Pirate]] structures fill the landscape: wooden machinery, huge pipes, cauldrons and tanks, floors and walls made of rusty metal tiles. The players can face such obstacles as: [[electric barrel]]s, robotic [[nettle]]s, climbing walls, sliding ramps, oily mud, [[electric beam]]s, crushing presses, moving platforms, dash boards, [[Purple Lum]]s and [[bumper]]s.

=== ''Rayman Arena'' ===
In ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', the map can be played in the Obstacle Racing and the Time Attack modes. It features two checkpoint lines and six [[switch]]es, the same number as the PC and PlayStation 2 versions. If the Bonus mode is on during the multiplayer gameplay, 12 generators with bonuses are spread throughout the map.
 
The layout stayed mostly the same as in the ''[[Rayman M]]'' version of Lava Factory, save for a few obstacles. For example, the robotic [[nettle]]s replace all the [[electric barrel]]s that appeared in PC and PlayStation 2 variants of the game. Also, as in many other race stages in ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', numerous [[baby Globox]]es have been added on the sides of the track to cheer for the racers.
 
=== ''Rayman Rush'' ===
In ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', the level can be played in five modes: Training, Championship, Time Attack, Lums (54 [[Yellow Lum]]s) and Target (27 [[Popolopoï]]s). The track includes two checkpoint lines and four [[switch]]es.
 
The base of the layout is similar to the other versions of Lava Factory in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and its ports, although many changes have been made. The environment is not as packed with the machinery and the color palette of the stage is warmer with a blank red sky always visible. Many obstacles are gone (e.g. [[electric barrel]]s and [[Purple Lum]]s) or have been changed, such as crushing presses, which have been replaced with moving blocks, or robotic [[nettle]]s that have been changed for normal ones. Many alternative upper paths do not appear in ''[[Rayman Rush]]'' version either, especially in the first half of the course.

== Trivia ==
*Lava Factory has three different names in the French versions of ''[[Rayman M]]'' and its ports. In the PC version it is called "Usine de Lave" (Eng. "Lava Factory"), but in the PlayStation 2 port is known as "Les Chaudrons" (Eng. "The Cauldrons"). However, in the French versions of ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]'' the stage is referred as "Vapeurs de Soufre" (Eng. "Sulfur Vapors").
*A location very similar to Lava Factory can be seen in the intro cutscene of ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''.
*In the single-player mode in ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', the player always faces [[Tily]] as the opponent in Lava Factory, unless she is chosen as a character to play with.
*The theme played during Popolopoï mode in Lava Factory in the PC and PlayStation 2 versions of ''[[Rayman M]]'' is a remix of the theme of [[Coconut Island]] and is shared with [[Forest Jump]].
*At some point in the development of the ''[[Rayman M]]'' for PC or PlayStation 2, a pair of [[cannon]]s was featured in Lava Factory. The level also contained two crushing blocks, instead of two presses (these can still be seen in ''[[Rayman Rush]]''), some [[switch]]es were placed differently and slippery surfaces lacked animated texture (also just like in the ''[[Rayman Rush]]'' version of Lava Factory).<ref>YouTube, ''Rayman M - Demo Gameplay (E3 2001)'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_V9L0TCXMQ</ref>
