In the games, the valley is clearly located beside a sea or ocean, but its exact geography is not clear. However, a magazine article from approximately 1996 containing official information on [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|the now-cancelled 2D sequel]] confirmed that the valley where [[Rayman 1|the original game]] took place was indeed located on an island, saying that [[Mr Dark]] had vanished from it prior to the [[Robo-Pirate army]]'s invasion. Rayman's island is not marked on the official map of [[the Glade of Dreams]] that was included with copies of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''; however, a small group of islands marked ‘[[Archipelago]]’ is shown off the mainland of the Glade, in the bottom-left corner of the map. It has been speculated that one of these islands is Rayman's island, and that the valley is located upon it. Indeed, the perch of earth from which [[Mr Dark]] observes Rayman in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] is across a body of water from him, supporting the notion that Rayman's island is part of an archipelago. | In the games, the valley is clearly located beside a sea or ocean, but its exact geography is not clear.

[[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|The Game Boy Color adaptation of the original game]] is quite different to [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. While it still appears to take place in some version of the valley, it does not fit the events of the main series and presents a largely alternate take on the valley and its environments. All of the original game's levels are altered, rearranged and renamed, save for the [[Candy Château]], which is omitted. | [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|The Game Boy Color adaptation of the original game]] is quite different to [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

''[[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]] | ''[[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).
