==Original version==

This level is set high up in the mountainous regions of [[the Glade of Dreams]] where a number of pirate strongholds are built. Deep in the canyons nearby are mines in which a large number of [[~~Baby~~ Globox]]es are held captive. Many [[Robo-Pirate Army|~~Red~~ Robo-Pirates]] ~~were seen as guards~~.

===Phase 1===

===Phase 1 – The Gloomy Island===

[[Rayman]] is outside a metalworks building with a generator room inside, and he has to shoot two [[switch]]es to deactivate an electric field and go down the middle of a rotating machine and into a pipe that leads to a grassy area. Going though another tunnel past a swampy lake, there is another pirate stronghold which [[Rayman]] has to jump from the top and glide down a rapid river. At the edge is a hot air balloon which [[Rayman]] hops in and rides.

===Phase 2===

===Phase 2 – The Reformatory for Disturbing Children===

He then lands in a field with yet another stronghold, which is this time guarded by an invincible giant ~~robot that resembles a dinosaur or perhaps a chicken~~. The robot is so heavy, ~~everytime~~ it jumps it sends objects in the air~~, making it useful for [[~~Rayman]] to infiltrate the stronghold (the Reformatory for Disturbing Children), ~~which has~~ a few [[baby Globox]]es are held captive. [[Rayman]] soon finds a walking shell and has to ride ~~all over~~ the ~~place~~ to collect [[Yellow Lums]] and find two [[switch]]es (three [[switch]]es in the PlayStation version) to release the babies.

He then lands in a field with yet another stronghold, which is this time guarded by the invincible giant [[Robot Dinosaur]], despatched by the [[Robo-Pirate army|Robo-Pirates]] to find the fourth [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask]] before [[Rayman]] does. The robot is so heavy, every time it jumps it sends objects bouncing up into the air. Rayman can make use of these objects to infiltrate the stronghold (the Reformatory for Disturbing Children), where a few [[baby Globox]]es are being held captive. Rayman soon finds a [[walking shell]] and has to ride about the outside of the Reformatory to collect some [[Yellow Lums]] and find two [[switch]]es (three [[switch]]es in the PlayStation version) to release the babies.

===Phase 3===

===Phase 3 – The Pirate Mines===

Deep in a canyon Rayman has to cross a polluted pond, and he'll eventually meet [[Uglette]], [[Globox]]'s wife, who is upset by the fact that more of her babies are missing and held in the mines. The player then takes control of a pirate ~~ship~~ and has to ~~fly~~ it ~~around~~ the canyons and find the four [[The Pirate Mines|mines]]. When all of mines are visited, ~~the ship~~ has to go back to [[Uglette]] ~~and~~ reunite ~~the~~ babies. One of them withdraws the ~~last mask~~ from its mouth and gives it to [[~~Rayman~~]].

Deep in a canyon, Rayman has to cross a polluted pond, and he'll eventually meet [[Uglette]], [[Globox]]'s wife, who is upset by the fact that more of her babies are missing and held in the mines. The player then takes control of a pirate [[Warship]] and has to manoeuver it through the canyons and find the four [[The Pirate Mines|mines]], collecting many baby Globoxes from each one. When all of mines are visited, Rayman has to bring the Warship back to [[Uglette]] to reunite her with her babies. One of them withdraws the fourth [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask]] from its mouth and tells Rayman that he found it in the Mines. He then gives the Mask to Rayman, who is transported to [[Polokus]].

This level is nearly identical to the original version, with the following difference:

*At the neat end of Phase 1, before the hot air balloon, a ~~Globox~~ Crystal is found - this is the last of the six to collect.

In this version, the level is called The Gloomy Island, and only the area in which [[Rayman]] has to flick the [[switch]]es onboard the [[walking shell]] to free the [[baby Globox]]es is used.

In the beginning Rayman sees [[Uglette]], and she tells him that her babyies were taken to the pirate stronghold. Rayman has to locate it and rescue them.

Phase 1 of the level is used in part, but is heavily edited in some areas. As said above, Uglette informs Rayman of the children's capture at the very start of the level, not towards the end. This gives Rayman more purpose to being here in this version, rather than seemingly wandering randomly as in other versions.

There is a bizarre inconsistancy here not present in other versions due to the Uglette cutscene occuring at the very start of the level. When the player enters the level ~~through~~ the ~~hall~~ of ~~doors~~, the game will load, ~~and~~ then jump straight into the cutscene with Uglette, which shows Rayman already in the level, comforting Uglette. However, after the cutscene, Rayman emerges from the ~~portal~~ as usual, and lands next to a weeping Uglette.

There is a bizarre inconsistancy here not present in other versions due to the [[Uglette]] cutscene occuring at the very start of the level.

However, after the cutscene, Rayman emerges from the [[Magic Spiral Door|Spiral Door]] as usual, and lands next to a weeping Uglette.
