===Stage 2 – The temple===

As [[Rayman]] gets past the first stage of [[Knaaren]]s, he enters a room ~~where he needs to get to~~ the ~~top~~. At the top, he sees [[Globox]] being carried away by a [[Knaaren]] and must find a way to follow them. His first task is to get one of the [[Knaaren]]s that are nearby to chase him onto a large [[switch]] which will cause some floating platforms to align, making a path up to the top of the large the [[Leptys]] statue. If [[Rayman]] takes a detour whilst jumping these platforms, he can free a few [[Teensie]]s who will give him a [[Vortex]] to lower a [[meadowscrew]] on the ground and reach a secret area that contains a [[Jewel|green gem]]. Once this is done, [[Rayman]] must work his way up to top of the statue, using floating platforms and [[LockJaw]]s, where he releases some [[Teensie]]s who will hand over a [[Throttle Copter]] with which he can use to get to the top, and leave the second stage.
