==Plot==

{{Quote|text=Hi folks!

You want to know what's going on?

Let me tell you the story of [[Rayman]]...

In [[Glade of Dreams|Rayman's World]], nature and people live together in peace... the [[Great Protoon]] provides and maintains the harmony and balance in the world.

Sorry folks, this apparently can't last. Do you want to play or what? ... one fateful day, the evil [[Mr Dark]] steals the [[Great Protoon]] and defeats [[Betilla]] the Fairy as she tries to protect it! The [[Electoon]]s who used to gravitate around it lose their natural stability and scatter all over the world! Troublesome, isn't it? And untidy, too! In the now-unbalanced world, strange phenomena begin to occur: freaks and hostile characters appear, capturing every [[Electoon]] they can find!

They definitely need a hero to save them now, don't you think?

[[Rayman]] to the rescue!

As the guardian of this world, he must free the [[Electoon]]s, recapture the [[Great Protoon]] from its mysterious kidnapper and reassemble them all to restore the world's harmony.

But will the bad guys let him do it? ... After all, [[Rayman]] doesn't have arms or legs... but don't panic, neither do the bad guys.|sign=[[The Magician (Rayman 1)|The Magician]]/Manual|source=''Rayman''}}

===Intro===

The entire game takes place in [[the valley]], a diverse and surreal location somewhere in [[~~the~~ Glade of Dreams]]. Prior to the beginning of the game, all is harmonious; a mystical pink orb known as the [[Great Protoon]] provides peace and balance to the world. However, this cannot last – one day, the evil [[Mr Dark]] steals the [[Great Protoon]] and defeats its guardian, [[Betilla]] the fairy. The natural balance of the world is disrupted; freaks and hostile characters begin to appear. The [[Electoon]]s, small friendly creatures which gravitated around the [[Great Protoon]], are scattered across [[the valley]] and imprisoned in [[cage]]s by [[Mr Dark]]'s minions. A benevolent character known as [[the Magician]] turns to the heroic [[Rayman]] for help. [[The Magician]] gives [[Rayman]] these tasks: free the [[Electoon]]s from their [[cage]]s, and recover the [[Great Protoon]] from [[Mr Dark]]. Only then will the balance of the world be restored. [[The valley]] contains six distinct worlds, and [[Rayman]] must pass through each of them in order to fulfill his objectives and reach his ultimate goal.

[[The valley]] contains six distinct worlds, and [[Rayman]] must pass through each of them in order to fulfill his objectives and reach his ultimate goal.

Note that, for the sake of simplicity, the following description assumes that the player chooses to pass through each world one after the other in the correct order. [[Rayman]]'s path is a branching one; at several points in the game, the player is offered a choice between two new levels, though it will be necessary to backtrack in order to free [[Electoon]]s and gain certain powers if the player chooses to skip ahead.

===[[The Dream Forest]]===

The first world of the game is [[the Dream Forest]], a lush jungle. [[Rayman]]'s journey begins in a region known as [[Pink Plant Woods]]. On his way through these woods, he encounters [[Betilla]] for the first time in the game; she grants him the [[telescopic fist]] ability, which takes advantage of his detached hands and allows him to throw them, defeating enemies or smashing [[cage]]s. [[Rayman]] passes into [[Anguish Lagoon]], where he encounters a [[mosquito]] who is later identified in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' as [[Bzzit]]. The two fight briefly, and [[Bzzit]] begins to cry when [[Rayman]] defeats him. [[Rayman]] takes pity on [[Bzzit]] and cheers him up; they become friends. [[Bzzit]] allows [[Rayman]] to ride on his back as he flies over the otherwise impassable waters of the lagoon. [[Betilla]] appears again and gives [[Rayman]] another power: the ability to [[Hanging|hang onto ledges]], which helps him to avoid falls and lets him climb onto certain platforms. [[Rayman]] then moves on to [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], where he meets [[Tarayzan]] (a pastiche of Tarzan). [[Tarayzan]] has lost his loincloth and is hiding behind a shrub. [[Rayman]] returns it to him, and [[Tarayzan]] rewards him by giving him a [[magic seed]]. Suddenly the rain begins to flood the area, and [[Rayman]] must use the [[magic seed]] to grow [[~~nenuphar~~]]s which he can climb to escape the flood.

[[Rayman]] passes into [[Anguish Lagoon]], where he encounters a [[giant mosquito]] who is later identified in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' as [[Bzzit]]. The two fight briefly, and [[Bzzit]] begins to cry when [[Rayman]] defeats him. [[Rayman]] takes pity on [[Bzzit]] and cheers him up; they become friends.

[[Rayman]] returns it to him, and [[Tarayzan]] rewards him by giving him a [[magic seed]]. Suddenly the rain begins to flood the area, and [[Rayman]] must use the [[magic seed]] to grow [[Water lily|water lilies]] which he can climb to escape the flood.

Next, [[Rayman]] passes into [[Moskito's Nest]], where he is chased by a [[mosquito]] called [[Moskito]]. As the main boss of [[the Dream Forest]], [[Moskito]] is essentially a more powerful and unpleasant version of [[Bzzit]]. Eventually [[Rayman]] and [[Moskito]] have a climactic battle in the deepest part of the forest. After [[Rayman]] defeats him, [[Betilla]] appears to give him another power: the [[grappling fist]] ability, which enables him to swing from [[flying ring]]s and cover large distances without touching the ground.

===[[Band Land]]===

The second world of the game is [[Band Land]], a landscape composed of music and musical instruments. The first region [[Rayman]] passes through is [[Bongo Hills]], an area relatively close to the ground, and with many drum platforms. Next, he reaches [[Allegro Presto]], an airy location composed mainly of slippery sheet music. Here [[Betilla]] the fairy grants him the [[helicopter]] power, which allows him to hover and glide by using his hair as a [[helicopter]]. He also encounters [[Mr Sax]], a giant evil saxophone who is the boss of [[Band Land]]. Next, [[Rayman]] makes his way through [[Gong Heights]], a cloudy level in the sky inhabited by meditating [[~~monk~~]]s. Finally he comes to [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], the lair of the boss he met earlier. This level plays like a combination of the previous three, with the characteristic elements of each. [[Rayman]] is chased by [[Mr Sax]], and finally does battle with him in his lair, and defeats him. [[Mr Sax]] comes to his senses and begins to dance.

===[[The Caves of Skops]]===

The fifth world of the game is [[the Caves of Skops]], a series of dark but colorful underground caverns. The first level here is [[Crystal Palace]], where nothing noteworthy occurs. The next level is [[Eat at Joe's]], where [[Rayman]] encounters [[Joe|Joe the Extra-Terrestrial]], a friendly green alien who owns a seaside restaurant near the caves. [[Joe]] is depressed because he is not getting any business, as the neon sign above his restaurant is not functioning. [[Rayman]] decides to do what it takes to turn [[Joe]]'s lights on again. With a [[firefly]] given to him by [[Joe]] to light his way, [[Rayman]] heads into the pitch-dark caves. After making his way through the darkest caverns, he eventually finds a plug which is falling out of its socket. [[Rayman]] [[~~telescopic~~ fist|punches]] it back into place, and [[Joe]]'s entire electrical system is reactivated – including a network of wired [[flying saucer]]s which [[Rayman]] rides back to the surface. When he has returned to [[Joe]]'s restaurant, [[Rayman]] finds that the neon sign is lit, much to [[Joe]]'s delight. The alien allows [[Rayman]] to use his buoys as platforms.

When [[Rayman]] crosses the water, he finds himself in [[Mr Skops's Stalactites]]. Here he encounters [[Mr Skops]], a gigantic, malevolent pink scorpion with one giant claw. [[Mr Skops]] is not pleased when [[Rayman]] wakes him, and attacks while periodically retreating. [[Rayman]] chases [[Mr Skops]] to his temple lair, where the two battle until he is defeated. [[Rayman]] sees [[Betilla]] the Fairy, now trapped by [[Mr Dark]] in a tiny glass sphere; she urges him to hurry. However, [[Rayman]] cannot move on to the next and final world until he has broken each of the one hundred and two [[Electoon]] [[cage]]s scattered throughout the five previous worlds.

The sixth and final world of the game is [[Candy Château]], a landscape composed of sweets and crockery. It contains only one level: [[Mr Dark's Dare]]. First [[Rayman]] slides across hills of icing on a frying pan. Next, he is chased by [[Bad Rayman]], an evil clone created by [[Mr Dark]] to shadow [[Rayman]]'s every move; [[Rayman]] dies instantly if he touches him. Next, [[Rayman]] makes his way through an area populated by various types of [[clown]]s. Here [[Mr Dark]] casts various spells on him to make his passage even more challenging; first he reverses the player's left–right controls, then he forces [[Rayman]] to [[Running|run]] uncontrollably, and then he takes away [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] power, rendering him helpless.

Finally, [[Rayman]] confronts [[Mr Dark]] in the central room of his château, whose walls contain stained glass windows depicting the five previous bosses. First, [[Mr Dark]] toys with [[Rayman]] by hanging his [[telescopic fist]] on a rope, and snatching it away whenever [[Rayman]] attempts to retrieve it. Then [[Mr Dark]] throws fireballs at [[Rayman]], traps him between two pillars of fire and throws more fireballs at him in ways that make them increasingly difficult to avoid. [[Mr Dark]] tells [[Rayman]] that he is doomed and causes the pillars of fire to slowly move in on him, but a pair of [[Electoon]]s suddenly fly into the room, take [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] from the rope and return it to him. [[Mr Dark]] then vanishes, but immediately reappears transformed into a creature composed of body parts from [[Mr Stone]] and [[Mr Skops]]; their corresponding windows glow. When the first creature is defeated, [[Mr Dark]] turns and splits himself into two identical creatures composed of body parts from [[Bzzit]] and [[Space Mama]]. When these are defeated, he then turns into a final creature composed of body parts from [[Bzzit]], [[Mr Sax]] and [[Space Mama]], and [[Rayman]] is temporarily shrunk to make the battle even more challenging. In the Sega Saturn version, lightning strikes as the creatures are hit. Once [[Rayman]] defeats Mr Dark, the game is complete. In the Sega Saturn version, the stained glass windows shatter, revealing the night sky and the two moons characteristic of [[~~The~~ Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]]. [[The Magician]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on saving the world.

The credits sequence shows the good characters going on holiday with the enemies and bosses, who are now reformed; it seems that none of them were truly evil except [[Mr Dark]], who in most versions is nowhere to be seen. At the end of the credits, a final message appears: ‘See you soon – [[Rayman]]’, hinting at the sequel, ''[[Rayman 2]]''. However, in the Atari Jaguar version, the credits end with [[Mr Dark]] flying across the screen, confirming his escape, and the ‘See you soon’ message takes on a sinister quality, promising that [[Mr Dark]] will return – though the villain has yet to resurface in the main series. After the credits, if the player attempts to replay [[Mr Dark's Dare]], a final epilogue image appears instead, showing [[Rayman]] together with all his friends; the [[Electoon]]s have been freed, [[Mr Dark]] has been defeated (for now), [[Betilla]] the Fairy has been rescued and the [[Great Protoon]] has been recovered and returned to its rightful place. The balance of [[~~the~~ Glade of Dreams]] has been restored.

In the years since the game's release, much information regarding [[Rayman (early production)|the early development of the game]] has been revealed, mainly through beta versions leaked to the public and [[Rayman Designer hacking|''Rayman Designer'' hacking]]. An interview also revealed that [[Rayman]] had had his limbs removed due to technical limitations.

==Gameplay==

[[File:BetillaPoingGrappin.png|frame|class=sprite|[[Rayman]] gets all of his permanent powers from [[Betilla]] the Fairy.]]

''Rayman'' is a 2D side-scrolling platform game, unlike its successors. The game takes place in [[~~the~~ valley|a valley]] which is made up of six different worlds, half of which are natural ([[the Dream Forest]], [[Blue Mountains]], and [[the Caves of Skops]]), while the other half is 'imaginary' ([[Band Land]], [[Picture City]], and the [[Candy Château]]). Each of these worlds excluding [[Candy Château]] contains three or four levels, each with six [[cage]]s with [[Electoon]]s to find.

Each of these worlds excluding [[Candy Château]] contains three or four levels, each with six [[cage]]s with [[Electoon]]s to find.

The game's heads-up display consists of how many [[Life|lives]] and units of health [[Rayman]] has, and how many [[Ting]]s he has collected. In most versions, [[Rayman]] starts with four [[Life|lives]] and three units of health, can increase his units of health to five by collecting a [[Big Power]], can gain a [[life]] by collecting 100 [[Ting]]s, and can obtain up to 99 [[Life|lives]] per [[continue]]. When he takes damage, he loses one unit of health, and when he loses all of them, he loses a [[life]], his temporary [[Telescopic fist|fist]] powers, and all of the [[Ting]]s he had collected. Upon Game Over, he uses one of his five [[continue]]s, which are represented by alarm clocks. In later versions, the number of units of health, starting [[Life|lives]] and [[continue]]s has been increased, and the number of [[Ting]]s required to gain a [[life]] has been decreased.

''Main ~~article: [[~~Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|''Rayman'' (Atari Jaguar)~~]]''~~

[[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|The Atari Jaguar version]] is the version with the most differences. Several levels have major changes, such as [[Eraser Plains]] and [[Mr Dark's Dare]] (renamed Mr Dark's Château), and others have had their names changed, such as [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]] (renamed Forgotten Swamps). Other changes include [[Bzzit]] being able to shoot while [[Rayman]] is riding on him, different animations, different music and sound effects. This is also one of the few versions to include [[Ray Breakout|the Breakout mini-game]]. The intro is displayed with text and a slideshow of images. The [[cage]] locations resemble the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions most closely.

Line 255:

Line 270:

The PC version has numerous variants, with the majority of them lacking the full soundtrack and the intro. The [[cage]] and [[life]] locations have changed compared to previous versions and the first part of [[Bongo Hills]] has been remade with new assets. Voice acting has been added for [[Rayman]] and several other characters such as [[Tarayzan]]. Differential scrolling is turned off by default, though most versions allow it to be manually turned back on.

This version was later re-released in the ''[[Rayman Forever]]'' bundle on GOG<ref>GOG.com, ''Rayman® Forever'', https://www.gog.com/game/rayman_forever</ref> and Uplay.<ref>Ubisoft Store, ''Rayman Forever Standard Edition'', http://store.ubi.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-eu_ubisoft-Site/en_SK/Product-Variation?pid=5800d3fc4e016524248b4567&dwvar_5800d3fc4e016524248b4567_Platform</ref>

''Main ~~article: [[~~Rayman Advance~~]]''~~

The Game Boy Advance version, titled ''[[Rayman Advance]]'', is a port of the PC version retaining its [[cage]] locations. The intro is, similarly to the Atari Jaguar version, shown with text and a slideshow of images. A lot of the music has been removed and what remains is in lower quality. The first part of [[Bongo Hills]] has been completely removed. This version is known to be easier than the original due to the increased health and [[Life|lives]] available and several minor changes made to levels to make them easier. This version also does not feature any auto-scrollers and [[Mr Dark's Dare]] is able to be replayed.

 ===Intro===
-The entire game takes place in [[the valley]], a diverse and surreal location somewhere in [[the Glade of Dreams]]. Prior to the beginning of the game, all is harmonious; a mystical pink orb known as the [[Great Protoon]] provides peace and balance to the world. However, this cannot last – one day, the evil [[Mr Dark]] steals the [[Great Protoon]] and defeats its guardian, [[Betilla]] the fairy. The natural balance of the world is disrupted; freaks and hostile characters begin to appear. The [[Electoon]]s, small friendly creatures which gravitated around the [[Great Protoon]], are scattered across [[the valley]] and imprisoned in [[cage]]s by [[Mr Dark]]'s minions. A benevolent character known as [[the Magician]] turns to the heroic [[Rayman]] for help. [[The Magician]] gives [[Rayman]] these tasks: free the [[Electoon]]s from their [[cage]]s, and recover the [[Great Protoon]] from [[Mr Dark]]. Only then will the balance of the world be restored. [[The valley]] contains six distinct worlds, and [[Rayman]] must pass through each of them in order to fulfill his objectives and reach his ultimate goal.

 Note that, for the sake of simplicity, the following description assumes that the player chooses to pass through each world one after the other in the correct order. [[Rayman]]'s path is a branching one; at several points in the game, the player is offered a choice between two new levels, though it will be necessary to backtrack in order to free [[Electoon]]s and gain certain powers if the player chooses to skip ahead.
 ===[[The Dream Forest]]===
-The first world of the game is [[the Dream Forest]], a lush jungle. [[Rayman]]'s journey begins in a region known as [[Pink Plant Woods]]. On his way through these woods, he encounters [[Betilla]] for the first time in the game; she grants him the [[telescopic fist]] ability, which takes advantage of his detached hands and allows him to throw them, defeating enemies or smashing [[cage]]s. [[Rayman]] passes into [[Anguish Lagoon]], where he encounters a [[mosquito]] who is later identified in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' as [[Bzzit]]. The two fight briefly, and [[Bzzit]] begins to cry when [[Rayman]] defeats him. [[Rayman]] takes pity on [[Bzzit]] and cheers him up; they become friends. [[Bzzit]] allows [[Rayman]] to ride on his back as he flies over the otherwise impassable waters of the lagoon. [[Betilla]] appears again and gives [[Rayman]] another power: the ability to [[Hanging|hang onto ledges]], which helps him to avoid falls and lets him climb onto certain platforms. [[Rayman]] then moves on to [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], where he meets [[Tarayzan]] (a pastiche of Tarzan). [[Tarayzan]] has lost his loincloth and is hiding behind a shrub. [[Rayman]] returns it to him, and [[Tarayzan]] rewards him by giving him a [[magic seed]]. Suddenly the rain begins to flood the area, and [[Rayman]] must use the [[magic seed]] to grow [[nenuphar]]s which he can climb to escape the flood.

-Next, [[Rayman]] passes into [[Moskito's Nest]], where he is chased by a [[mosquito]] called [[Moskito]]. As the main boss of [[the Dream Forest]], [[Moskito]] is essentially a more powerful and unpleasant version of [[Bzzit]]. Eventually [[Rayman]] and [[Moskito]] have a climactic battle in the deepest part of the forest. After [[Rayman]] defeats him, [[Betilla]] appears to give him another power: the [[grappling fist]] ability, which enables him to swing from [[flying ring]]s and cover large distances without touching the ground.

 ===[[Band Land]]===
-The second world of the game is [[Band Land]], a landscape composed of music and musical instruments. The first region [[Rayman]] passes through is [[Bongo Hills]], an area relatively close to the ground, and with many drum platforms. Next, he reaches [[Allegro Presto]], an airy location composed mainly of slippery sheet music. Here [[Betilla]] the fairy grants him the [[helicopter]] power, which allows him to hover and glide by using his hair as a [[helicopter]]. He also encounters [[Mr Sax]], a giant evil saxophone who is the boss of [[Band Land]]. Next, [[Rayman]] makes his way through [[Gong Heights]], a cloudy level in the sky inhabited by meditating [[monk]]s. Finally he comes to [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], the lair of the boss he met earlier. This level plays like a combination of the previous three, with the characteristic elements of each. [[Rayman]] is chased by [[Mr Sax]], and finally does battle with him in his lair, and defeats him. [[Mr Sax]] comes to his senses and begins to dance.

 ===[[The Caves of Skops]]===
-The fifth world of the game is [[the Caves of Skops]], a series of dark but colorful underground caverns. The first level here is [[Crystal Palace]], where nothing noteworthy occurs. The next level is [[Eat at Joe's]], where [[Rayman]] encounters [[Joe|Joe the Extra-Terrestrial]], a friendly green alien who owns a seaside restaurant near the caves. [[Joe]] is depressed because he is not getting any business, as the neon sign above his restaurant is not functioning. [[Rayman]] decides to do what it takes to turn [[Joe]]'s lights on again. With a [[firefly]] given to him by [[Joe]] to light his way, [[Rayman]] heads into the pitch-dark caves. After making his way through the darkest caverns, he eventually finds a plug which is falling out of its socket. [[Rayman]] [[telescopic fist|punches]] it back into place, and [[Joe]]'s entire electrical system is reactivated – including a network of wired [[flying saucer]]s which [[Rayman]] rides back to the surface. When he has returned to [[Joe]]'s restaurant, [[Rayman]] finds that the neon sign is lit, much to [[Joe]]'s delight. The alien allows [[Rayman]] to use his buoys as platforms.

-When [[Rayman]] crosses the water, he finds himself in [[Mr Skops's Stalactites]]. Here he encounters [[Mr Skops]], a gigantic, malevolent pink scorpion with one giant claw. [[Mr Skops]] is not pleased when [[Rayman]] wakes him, and attacks while periodically retreating. [[Rayman]] chases [[Mr Skops]] to his temple lair, where the two battle until he is defeated. [[Rayman]] sees [[Betilla]] the Fairy, now trapped by [[Mr Dark]] in a tiny glass sphere; she urges him to hurry.

 The sixth and final world of the game is [[Candy Château]], a landscape composed of sweets and crockery. It contains only one level: [[Mr Dark's Dare]]. First [[Rayman]] slides across hills of icing on a frying pan. Next, he is chased by [[Bad Rayman]], an evil clone created by [[Mr Dark]] to shadow [[Rayman]]'s every move; [[Rayman]] dies instantly if he touches him. Next, [[Rayman]] makes his way through an area populated by various types of [[clown]]s. Here [[Mr Dark]] casts various spells on him to make his passage even more challenging; first he reverses the player's left–right controls, then he forces [[Rayman]] to [[Running|run]] uncontrollably, and then he takes away [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] power, rendering him helpless.
-Finally, [[Rayman]] confronts [[Mr Dark]] in the central room of his château, whose walls contain stained glass windows depicting the five previous bosses. First, [[Mr Dark]] toys with [[Rayman]] by hanging his [[telescopic fist]] on a rope, and snatching it away whenever [[Rayman]] attempts to retrieve it. Then [[Mr Dark]] throws fireballs at [[Rayman]], traps him between two pillars of fire and throws more fireballs at him in ways that make them increasingly difficult to avoid. [[Mr Dark]] tells [[Rayman]] that he is doomed and causes the pillars of fire to slowly move in on him, but a pair of [[Electoon]]s suddenly fly into the room, take [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] from the rope and return it to him. [[Mr Dark]] then vanishes, but immediately reappears transformed into a creature composed of body parts from [[Mr Stone]] and [[Mr Skops]]; their corresponding windows glow. When the first creature is defeated, [[Mr Dark]] turns and splits himself into two identical creatures composed of body parts from [[Bzzit]] and [[Space Mama]]. When these are defeated, he then turns into a final creature composed of body parts from [[Bzzit]], [[Mr Sax]] and [[Space Mama]], and [[Rayman]] is temporarily shrunk to make the battle even more challenging. In the Sega Saturn version, lightning strikes as the creatures are hit. Once [[Rayman]] defeats Mr Dark, the game is complete. In the Sega Saturn version, the stained glass windows shatter, revealing the night sky and the two moons characteristic of [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]]. [[The Magician]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on saving the world.

-The credits sequence shows the good characters going on holiday with the enemies and bosses, who are now reformed; it seems that none of them were truly evil except [[Mr Dark]], who in most versions is nowhere to be seen.

-''Rayman'' is a 2D side-scrolling platform game, unlike its successors. The game takes place in [[the valley|a valley]] which is made up of six different worlds, half of which are natural ([[the Dream Forest]], [[Blue Mountains]], and [[the Caves of Skops]]), while the other half is 'imaginary' ([[Band Land]], [[Picture City]], and the [[Candy Château]]).

Each of these worlds excluding [[Candy Château]] contains three or four levels, each with six [[cage]]s with [[Electoon]]s to find.
 The game's heads-up display consists of how many [[Life|lives]] and units of health [[Rayman]] has, and how many [[Ting]]s he has collected. In most versions, [[Rayman]] starts with four [[Life|lives]] and three units of health, can increase his units of health to five by collecting a [[Big Power]], can gain a [[life]] by collecting 100 [[Ting]]s, and can obtain up to 99 [[Life|lives]] per [[continue]]. When he takes damage, he loses one unit of health, and when he loses all of them, he loses a [[life]], his temporary [[Telescopic fist|fist]] powers, and all of the [[Ting]]s he had collected. Upon Game Over, he uses one of his five [[continue]]s, which are represented by alarm clocks. In later versions, the number of units of health, starting [[Life|lives]] and [[continue]]s has been increased, and the number of [[Ting]]s required to gain a [[life]] has been decreased.

 [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|The Atari Jaguar version]] is the version with the most differences. Several levels have major changes, such as [[Eraser Plains]] and [[Mr Dark's Dare]] (renamed Mr Dark's Château), and others have had their names changed, such as [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]] (renamed Forgotten Swamps). Other changes include [[Bzzit]] being able to shoot while [[Rayman]] is riding on him, different animations, different music and sound effects. This is also one of the few versions to include [[Ray Breakout|the Breakout mini-game]]. The intro is displayed with text and a slideshow of images. The [[cage]] locations resemble the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions most closely.

 The PC version has numerous variants, with the majority of them lacking the full soundtrack and the intro. The [[cage]] and [[life]] locations have changed compared to previous versions and the first part of [[Bongo Hills]] has been remade with new assets. Voice acting has been added for [[Rayman]] and several other characters such as [[Tarayzan]]. Differential scrolling is turned off by default, though most versions allow it to be manually turned back on.
