One day, the game's villain, [[Mr Dark]], defeats [[Betilla the fairy]] as she tries to defend the Great Protoon which he steals, causing the [[Electoon]]s to scatter. They are then captured by hostile creatures that appear after the incident, and are trapped in [[cage]]s which Rayman has to break open in order to get closer to [[Mr Dark]]'s hideout in the [[Candy Château]]. At a later point in the game, Mr Dark kidnaps Betilla, though for some reason, neither hers or the Great Protoon's rescue was not shown. | ||

Rayman is a 2D side-scrolling platform game, unlike its successors. The game is made up of six different worlds, half of which are natural (The [[Dream Forest]], [[Blue Mountains]], and the [[Caves of Skops]]), while the other half is 'imaginary' ([[Band Land]], [[Picture City]], and the [[Candy Château]]). Each of these worlds excluding Candy Château contains three or four levels, each with six cages with Electoons to find. The game's difficulty is progressive, meaning that it gets harder as the player continues. | Rayman is a 2D side-scrolling platform game, unlike its successors.

The game | The game's heads-up display consist of how many lives Rayman has, three units of energy (four in [[Rayman Advance]]) and five with a [[Super Power]] (six in Rayman Advance), and how many [[Ting]]s he has collected. Rayman normally starts with four lives and three health units, and can collect up to 99 lives. When he takes damage, he loses one unit, and when he loses all of them, he loses a life, his temporary fist powers, and all of the Tings he had collected. Upon Game Over, he has up to nine [[continue]]s depending on the version, which are represented with alarm clocks. | ||

On 25th August 2008, a YouTube video showing an early prototype of the Jaguar version was uploaded. Two months later, this was leaked to the public along with 19 prototypes or other Jaguar titles. However, there is no specific prototype number, and it is unknown how much older it is than the Jaguar's demo version, or whether or not this is the same prototype that was used to advertise the game in magazines. | On 25th August 2008, a YouTube video showing an early prototype of the Jaguar version was uploaded.
