==Plot==

===Intro===

The entire game takes place in [[the valley]], a diverse and surreal location somewhere in [[the Glade of Dreams]]. Prior to the beginning of the game, all is harmonious; a mystical pink orb known as the [[Great Protoon]] provides peace and balance to the world. However, this cannot last – one day, the evil [[Mr Dark]] steals the [[Great Protoon]] and defeats its guardian, [[Betilla]] the ~~Fairy~~. The natural balance of the world is disrupted; freaks and hostile characters begin to appear. The [[Electoon]]s, small friendly creatures which gravitated around the [[Great Protoon]], are scattered across [[the valley]] and imprisoned in [[cage]]s by [[Mr Dark]]'s minions. A benevolent character known as [[the Magician]] turns to the heroic [[Rayman]] for help. [[The Magician]] gives [[Rayman]] these tasks: free the [[Electoon]]s from their [[cage]]s, and recover the [[Great Protoon]] from [[Mr Dark]]. Only then will the balance of the world be restored. [[The valley]] contains six distinct worlds, and [[Rayman]] must pass through each of them in order to fulfill his objectives and reach his ultimate goal.

Note that, for the sake of simplicity, the following description assumes that the player chooses to pass through each world one after the other in the correct order. [[Rayman]]'s path is a branching one; at several points in the game, the player is offered a choice between two new levels, though it will be necessary to backtrack in order to free [[Electoon]]s and gain certain powers if the player chooses to skip ahead.

===[[Band Land]]===

The second world of the game is [[Band Land]], a landscape composed of music and musical instruments. The first region [[Rayman]] passes through is [[Bongo Hills]], an area relatively close to the ground, and with many drum platforms. Next he reaches [[Allegro Presto]], an airy location composed mainly of slippery sheet music. Here [[Betilla]] the ~~Fairy~~ grants him the [[helicopter]] power, which allows him to hover and glide by using his hair as a [[helicopter]]. He also encounters [[Mr Sax]], a giant evil saxophone who is the boss of [[Band Land]]. Next [[Rayman]] makes his way through [[Gong Heights]], a cloudy level in the sky inhabited by meditating [[monk]]s. Finally he comes to [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], the lair of the boss he met earlier. This level plays like a combination of the previous three, with the characteristic elements of each. [[Rayman]] is chased by [[Mr Sax]], and finally does battle with him in his lair, and defeats him. [[Mr Sax]] comes to his senses and begins to dance.

===Replays===

All levels (except [[Mr Dark's Dare]]) can be replayed an unlimited number of times, in any order. However, boss sections can only be played once; after the boss is defeated, the section will not reappear. This includes sections where bosses only make an appearance but which do not actually contain a boss fight. Similarly, sections where Rayman obtains new powers from [[Betilla]] the Fairy are only visited ~~one~~. [[Cage]]s that have been broken do not appear during subsequent playthroughs; this means that only the [[cage]]s that were missed need to be located. In some cases, backtracking is necessary, because certain [[cage]]s are out of reach until [[Rayman]] gains a particular power. Finally, extra [[Life|lives]] that have been collected (including from [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus levels]]) also do not reappear, making it impossible to accumulate extra [[Life|lives]] by replaying easier levels. However, [[Ting]]s appear in every playthrough, and can be instrumental for extra [[life]] accumulation.

At the start of the game, [[Rayman]] is only able to pull a [[grimace]], which is used to scare certain enemies. As he continues, he will receive permanent powers from Betilla the Fairy that gradually widen his abilities, as well as receive a few temporary ones.
