The valley: Difference between revisions

''[[Rayman Origins]]'' reveals that [[Rayman]] was born in ‘the Primordial Forest’. This was the original French name for [[Pink Plant Woods]], the first level of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] – the name ‘Pink Plant Woods’ was invented by the translators responsible for the game's English-language localisation. This suggests that at least part of ''Rayman Origins'' will take place within the valley.

==Geography==

The shape of the valley is defined by the winding course of the single river which flows through its centre. The valley contains a mixture of two distinct types of environments – the natural, and the fantastical. Its known ‘natural’ locations include [[the Dream Forest]], the [[Blue Mountains]], [[the Caves of Skops]], and possibly [[Dark (world)|the Dark world]] which forms the base of the [[Rabbid]]s in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|their Game Boy Advance outing]]. Known ‘fantastical’ locations include [[Band Land]], [[Picture City]], the [[Candy Château]], the [[Organic Cave]], possibly [[the Temporal Palace]], and [[the World of Toys]], which overlaps with Picture City to form [[Child (world)|the Child world]].

''[[Rayman 3]]'''s first minigame, [[2D Madness]], is a flashback in which Rayman revisits the Dream Forest, complete with 3D graphics (though still on a 2D plane). Strangely, Rayman also fights [[Hoodlum]]s in this level, though this is likely to be simply because the minigame is taking place in his imagination. The Nintendo GameCube version of the game adds an additional minigame, entitled [[2D Nightmare]]; this minigame, which supposedly takes place in Picture City, has been proven to exist; however, the method by which it is meant to be unlocked is still unclear.
