[[Rayman]] uses his [[telescopic fist]] to carve a new guitar out of the [[rock]], and [[the Musician]] rewards him by giving him a [[super helicopter]] potion; this temporary upgrade to [[Rayman]]'s [[helicopter]] ability allows him to fly freely, which comes in useful in the next couple of areas. Finally [[Rayman]] reaches [[Mr Stone]]'s lair and makes use of a nearby totem pole to defeat his enemy. With the totem pole's head lodged on his own, the jumbled [[Mr Stone]] reforms and begins to dance. [[Betilla]] appears in the next phase and gives [[Rayman]] his final power: the ability to [[Running|run]]. This replaces the ability to [[grimace]] (whose only purpose was scaring the [[Livingstone|tall Livingstones]]). | ||

The first level is [[Eraser Plains]], where [[Rayman]] encounters [[Space Mama]], the boss of [[Picture City]]. She battles him while wearing a viking costume, on a stage made to look like the sea. Next [[Rayman]] passes through [[Pencil Pentathlon]], where nothing notable occurs. The final level of [[Picture City]] is [[Space Mama's Crater]], where [[Rayman]] and [[Space Mama]] have their final showdown. This time she wears a science-fiction costume while using sci-fi props as weapons, and the background is made to look like the surface of the moon. After the battle, [[Space Mama]] reforms and begins to dance (though this only happens in some versions of the game). [[Rayman]] then sees [[Mr Dark]] kidnap [[Betilla]] the Fairy. | ||

[[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|The Atari Jaguar version]] is the version with the most differences. Several levels have major changes, such as [[Eraser Plains]] and [[Mr Dark's Dare]] (renamed Mr Dark's Château), and others have had their names changed, such as [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]] (renamed Forgotten Swamps). Other changes include [[Bzzit]] being able to shoot while [[Rayman]] is riding on him, different animations, different music and sound effects.
