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 [[Maraca|maracas rockets]] to fly, [[bongo]]s to cross chasms, and [[walking drum]]s to reach inaccessible heights. | ||
