Part 1

In the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Atari Jaguar versions, this part is a typical Band Land stage, with a lot of secret passages.

In the PC version it is replaced by a totally different one, which is a transition between Dream Forest and Band Land. It features a unique scenery, with xylophone bridges over a quiet water. As Rayman climbs up, he will find himself in a new world. The DSi port uses this variant while Rayman Advance drops this part completely, starting Bongo Hills at Part 2.
