'''Band Land''' (French: '''''Le Ciel Chromatique''''' – '''''The Chromatic Sky''''') is the second world in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. As its name suggests, it is a world which consists mainly of music and musical instruments.
'''Band Land''' (French: '''''Le Ciel Chromatique''''' – '''''The Chromatic Sky''''') is the second world in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. It is a land made up of music and musical instruments and set high in the sky.


The first level of Band Land is [[Bongo Hills]], a grassy terrain where vast instruments sprout from the ground. It is followed by [[Allegro Presto]], is a cold, blue, vertiginous labyrinth of slippery musical staves. This is where [[Rayman]] first encounters [[Mr Sax]], the malevolent giant saxophone who rules Band Land; and also where he receives the [[helicopter]] ability from [[Betilla]] the Fairy. The next level is [[Gong Heights]], a balmy region of golden clouds and inhabited by meditating [[monk]]s. The final level is [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], which resembles a combination of the three preceding levels. This is where [[Rayman]] finally confronts and defeats [[Mr Sax]].
==Description==
Giant music instruments such as [[drum]]s, flutes and xylophones make up most of Band Land, interspersed with [[wrong note]]s and [[prickly ball]]s. As [[Rayman]] progresses, he ascends higher into the sky: the levels feature increasing amounts of [[cloud]]s, snow and lightning. Up there, it is also possible to slide on musical staves, but he must be careful not to fall from the heights of this place. Most of the platforms in Band Land are music-related: [[Rayman]] can use [[maracas rocket]]s to fly, [[bongo]]s to cross chasms, and [[walking drum]]s to reach inaccessible heights.


Sights such as giant [[drum]]s, recorders and xylophones are characteristic of Band Land. [[Rayman]] often finds himself battling [[trumpet]]s and [[moth]]s while dodging dangerous [[wrong note]]s, [[spiky ball]]s and [[cymbals]]. The 'ground' usually consists of drum material or slippery musical staves, from which the player must be careful not to fall. As [[Rayman]] progresses, he ascends higher into the sky: the levels feature increasing amounts of [[cloud]]s, snow and lightning. Most of the platforms in Band Land are music-related: [[Rayman]] can use [[maracas rocket]]s to fly, [[bongo]]s to cross chasms, and [[walking drum]]s to reach inaccessible heights.
In the ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' games, tiny [[wrong note]]s can also be found.
 
The enemies in Band Land include [[antitoon]]s, [[hunter]]s, [[moth]]s, [[trumpet]]s, [[lightning eyes]], [[wrong note]]s, [[cymbals]] and [[mad drummer]]s. The boss is [[Mr Sax]], a giant saxophone. [[Rayman]] will meet him in [[Allegro Presto]], and fight him after a frantic chase in [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]].
 
During his trek through Band Land, [[Rayman]] receives the power of the [[helicopter]] from [[Betilla]] the [[fairy]], at the end of [[Allegro Presto]].

In a scene of clouds and sheet music, Rayman proceeds among music instruments (drums, maracas, cymbals...) and battles against wrong notes. After having escaped from the trumpets, he will find himself face to face with the deafening Mister Sax...
—Manual, Rayman

Band Land (French: Le Ciel Chromatique – The Chromatic Sky) is the second world in the original Rayman game. It is a land made up of music and musical instruments and set high in the sky.

Description

Giant music instruments such as drums, flutes and xylophones make up most of Band Land, interspersed with wrong notes and prickly balls. As Rayman progresses, he ascends higher into the sky: the levels feature increasing amounts of clouds, snow and lightning. Up there, it is also possible to slide on musical staves, but he must be careful not to fall from the heights of this place. Most of the platforms in Band Land are music-related: Rayman can use maracas rockets to fly, bongos to cross chasms, and walking drums to reach inaccessible heights.

In the Maths and English with Rayman games, tiny wrong notes can also be found.

The enemies in Band Land include antitoons, hunters, moths, trumpets, lightning eyes, wrong notes, cymbals and mad drummers. The boss is Mr Sax, a giant saxophone. Rayman will meet him in Allegro Presto, and fight him after a frantic chase in Mr Sax's Hullaballoo.

During his trek through Band Land, Rayman receives the power of the helicopter from Betilla the fairy, at the end of Allegro Presto.
