Desert of Dijiridoos

Skyward Sonata is the fifth level of the Desert of Dijiridoos, the second world in Rayman Origins. Its name is a spoof of the 2011 Zelda game, Skyward Sword. This level is mostly about riding on the serpent flutes to get across most areas. This level is the second one from this world and eleventh overall that is included in the Back to Origins painting in Rayman Legends.

Area 1

The first area is fairly short. All the heroes will need to do in order to reach the exit, is to slide down a water current, perform a walljump, then crush attack a Red Bird and wooden barrier. This area is most likely a transition to the second area, where the first serpent flute is located.
