'''Clearleaf Forest''', also known as the '''Forest of Clear Leaves''', is a location found in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' and the Game Boy Advance game ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''. In the former game it follows [[the Fairy Council]], and introduces the player to the [[Heavy Metal Fist]], the [[Lockjaw]] and the [[Shock Rocket]]. It is the first level to have a boss (the [[Master Kaag]]), and is also the first level in which [[Globox]] first discovers the infamous [[plum juice]] under the control of [[André]].

Clearleaf Forest is a large, formerly peaceful forest that has been invaded by the [[Hoodlum]] army. [[Rayman]] must make his way past natural obstacles and Hoodlum installations in order to bring [[Globox]] to [[Otto Psi]], the first of three [[Teensie doctor]]s, whom the heroes hope will be able to extract [[André]] from Globox's stomach.

After [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] fall down from reaching the end of the first [[Teensie Highway]], Globox questions: "Who turned off the nice music? Hope I didn’t break anything." [[André]] then tells him to shush, as he demands to get out of Globox's stomach and to have some [[plum juice]]. In order to get to the barrel, Rayman must pass through a building after dealing with [[Hoodblaster]]s outside. He can then free his first ever [[Teensie]], a [[Sylkin]] who gives him a [[Vortex]] can of [[Laser-Washing Powder]] that he had stolen from the [[Hoodlum]]s. Rayman can then lower the nearby [[Meadowscrew]] impeding his progress. Rayman and Globox go along a bridge, only to find a wooden door with the face of a Hoodlum carved onto it, in their way. As Rayman wonders how to get it open, a couple of Hoodblasters come out from nowhere and ambush Rayman. One of them is in possession of a [[Heavy Metal Fist]] can; Rayman can use this to break down the door with a fully charged fist and [[helicopter]] down to the next section of the forest.

 

As the two reach the bottom, Rayman must defeat a gang of [[Hoodmonger]]s who guard a barrel of plum juice. After all are defeated, Globox goes to the barrel, and immediately drinks it down, per André's demand. As he finishes, he takes Rayman to a waterfall teeming with [[piranha]]s and starts to to swim upwards with Rayman clinging onto his back. Now at the top, Rayman then leaves through a cave.

[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] land in a small area surrounded by [[mushroom]]s. Several [[Hoodlum]]s arrive by [[Hoodlum Zeppelin|Zeppelin]]s, one drinking heavily from a [[keg]] of [[plum juice]]. Rayman must destroy them to gain a [[Vortex]] can of [[Laser-Washing Powder]]; with it he must lower a [[Meadowscrew]] to gain access to the higher levels of the forest, where there are a couple more remaining [[Hoodmongers]]. After defeating one of them that has the dollar ($) sign, a [[Heavy Metal Fist]] appears, which Rayman uses to smash through a barricade to get to a waterfall-filled area. Meanwhile, Globox drinks down the plum juice, inflates as a side effect, and floats away. Rayman has to advance and as he [[helicopter|helicopters]] a good distance, he then smashes a [[cage]] containing a [[Sylkin]] that gives him his first can of the [[Lockjaw]]. With it, he makes it safely to the other end of the creek, where he finds Globox, still intoxicated, standing in front of a Hoodlum camp. Rayman must fight off the many Hoodmongers and a [[Slapdash]] that guard the area before smashing down a wooden barricade. With Globox no longer intoxicated, Rayman has to stick a [[plum]] on its post to get up to a Hoodlum fortress.

===Stage 3 – The Hoodlum fortress===

[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] walk along hallways filled with crates of [[plum juice]] bottles. In the center of a circular room lies the first [[Hoodmonger Soldier]]. Defeating him rewards Rayman with his first ever can of [[Shock Rocket]] [[Laser-Washing Powder]]. This power makes his [[telescopic fist|fist]] as a rocket. Even with Globox's displeasure of the use of the costumes, Rayman uses the Shock Rocket to maneuver through three obstacle courses to hit three targets of himself and Globox to open three doors. Moving through the hallways, Rayman encounters a [[Hoodboom]], but has no time to defeat him as he quickly runs through a gate which closes sharply. Rayman is trapped unless he uses a [[Vortex]] and [[Lockjaw]] (dropped by two [[Hoodblaster]]s) to lower a [[Meadowscrew]] and swing on a [[flying hook]]. Once he's across, he'll need to activate a [[switch]] that opens the gate so Globox can get through. A band of [[Hoodlum]]s is inside, naturally, and Rayman will have to defeat them all for the aforementioned Hoodboom to appear. He is too high up for Rayman to reach, so Rayman will need to find and kill a [[Slapdash]] to obtain another can of Shock Rocket and use it to hit the Hoodboom. After every Hoodlum is defeated, Globox drinks a [[keg]] full of plum juice and belches out a purple bubble - Rayman can bounce onto it to help him reach the higher level of the fortress. Inside is a mass of crates; Rayman must make his way through the fortress, freeing every [[Sylkin]] he comes across. Each will give him a [[Heavy Metal Fist]] can, useful for smashing down wooden barricades with more Sylkin [[Teensie]]s hidden inside. Eventually, he will have enough cans to take him through a barricade at the far end of the fortress.

In the first room, above Globox, is an air vent, hiding a lever. If Rayman can maneuver a Shock Rocket to activate the lever, a trap door will open up, containing yellow and red [[jewel]]s.

===Stage 4 – The Master Kaag===

[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] defeat a [[Hoodmonger Soldier]] and drop down a hole into a dark cave, filled with [[Red Lum]]s. The cave only has one exit: Into the Clearleaf Arena, where a small [[Hoodlum]] rides atop his stomping machine, the [[Master Kaag]]. Rayman must trigger three [[switch]]es at a time to make a [[Laser-Washing Powder|can]] of [[Shock Rocket]] appear. Once Rayman has obtained the power, he must shoot the Master Kaag's pilot in the back, and then repeat this process two more times to defeat him (on the third time, [[Slapdash]]es appear on the switches). Rayman then takes control of the Master Kaag and rides it into battle, destroying three waves of ten Hoodmonger Soldiers to open a gate. Once the gate is opened, Rayman drops off from the Master Kaag and continues to the gate where Globox comes out from hiding, and the duo enters [[Otto]]'s office.

===Stage 5 – Otto's office===

[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] enter the office of [[Otto Psi|Otto]] only to find a group of [[Hoodmonger]]s running around inside. Rayman must kill all of them to open the door.  

After Rayman and Globox enter the office, a cutscene plays, in which Otto is examining Globox in his theatre, and attempts to coax [[André]] out of his stomach by raising his arm, and playing it as if his arm was an electric guitar. Unfortunately, while André is annoyed with this music, it fails to remove him from Globox's stomach, so Otto finally sends the duo away to [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]] to meet his friend [[Roméo Patti]], the second [[Teensie doctor]].

Behind where [[Rayman]] starts is a hole in the wall. If examined, Rayman falls down into a room with several [[jewel]]s, including a green one.

===Stage 6 – Second Teensie Highway===

This [[Teensie Highway]] is supposed to take [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] to the [[Land of the Livid Dead]], in which [[Roméo Patti]]'s office is situated in, but at the end of the wormhole, Rayman fails to reach a series of staves that happen to be too high for him, and tumbles away from the dimension, leading him into the [[Bog of Murk]], and separating him from Globox.
