While featuring numerous original environments, ''Rayman Origins'' ~~will also be~~ the first game in the series to revisit locations explored in previous games. The game ~~will be~~ divided into three phases. In the first phase, the player ~~will make~~ their way through five worlds – the [[Jibberish Jungle]], the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], the [[Gourmand Land]], the [[Sea of Serendipity]], and [[Mystical Pique]]– in a pre-set order. Each world ~~ends~~ with the characters gaining new powers, such as the ability to dive underwater or change their size. Once the first phase is complete, the second phase can be accessed: new ~~levels~~ become available in each of the five worlds, and this time the player can play them in any order they want. When this phase is complete, the player may access ~~the~~ [[Moody Clouds]], where the second to last final boss and the game's ending await. Collecting all 10 [[Skull tooth|skull teeth]] will unlock the third and final phase~~. It contains only one level,~~ the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]]. Each world is divided into many levels; there are a total of sixty-six levels in the game~~. Descriptions of the six worlds follow~~.

While featuring numerous original environments, ''Rayman Origins'' is the first game in the series to revisit locations explored in previous games. The game is divided into three phases. In the first phase, the player makes their way through five worlds – the [[Jibberish Jungle]], the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], the [[Gourmand Land]], the [[Sea of Serendipity]], and [[Mystical Pique]]– in a pre-set order. Each world starts with the player giving chase to a captured nymph, which when freed results in the characters gaining new powers, such as the ability to dive underwater or change their size. Once the first phase is complete, the second phase can be accessed: Another five new worlds become available, each linked to the previous five worlds, kepping true to the theme, and this time the player can play them in any order they want. When this phase is complete, the player may access [[Moody Clouds]], where the second to last final boss and the game's ending await. Collecting all 10 [[Skull tooth|skull teeth]] will unlock the third and final phase: the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]] which is both a single level and a whole new world. Each world is divided into many levels; there are a total of sixty-six levels in the game.

*[[Jibberish Jungle]] – A jungle world where the characters unlock the power to attack in the first ~~level. The enemies are comprised mostly of [[Lividstones]] and [[Darktoon]]s. The boss is a [[Earth King|giant, red plant]].~~

Descriptions of the first five worlds follow:

*[[Desert of Dijiridoos]] – A music world where the characters unlock the ability to glide. [[Rayman]] must use [[gong]]s to create sound waves which shield him from swarms of black flying creatures which resemble locusts. This world is composed mainly on music and musical instruments, and seems to be based on [[Band Land]], a location which has not been seen since the original game. The boss is a [[Air King|giant, yellow bird]].

*[[Jibberish Jungle]] – A jungle themed world where the characters unlock the power to attack. The enemies are comprised mostly of [[Lividstones]] and [[Darktoon]]s. The boss is a [[Earth King|giant, red plant]].

The boss is a [[Air King|giant, yellow bird]].

*[[Gourmand Land]] – A food world where the characters unlock the ability to shrink. While the surface of the [[Gourmand Land]] appears as an icy landscape featuring cocktail elements such as giant orange slices (which may have been inspired by the Glacier Cocktail level from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''), its underground part turns out to be a surreal environment made of food and cooking materials, which aesthetic is inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. This land is home to [[Baby Dragon Chef]]s – small, red, reptilian enemies who attack the heroes with their forks. Similar to the [[Organic Cave]] from [[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled ''Rayman 4'']], a level takes place within the belly of [[Fire King|a gigantic dragon]], in which the players much avoid flaming walls of heartburn.

*[[Moody Clouds]] – A steampunk world which can only be accessed upon defeating the [[four kings]]. It is set in the sky, above the [[Mystical Pique]], and Rayman must fight robots, as well as dodge spinning razor blades and electricity. The final boss is fought in the [[Moody Clouds]].

And the optional final world:

*[[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]] – A level with a strong resemblance to both [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and [[Tomb of the Ancients]] from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. This is where the undead live; the antics of the protagonists annoy the villains, setting the events of the game in motion. It is located in the undergrounds of [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the location of the same name]] visited by [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. The [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]] involves jumping across falling rocks, dodging fire, carnivorous plants, and riding a skeleton, similar to the [[serpent flute]]s from the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]]. [[Big Mama]] is this level's boss. Concept art depicts graveyards, insects, zombies, a strange hotdog-like character who appears to be selling hotdogs, and numerous tentacled monsters. This world has a golden palette, and features giant skulls, bones and cobwebs.
