Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1): Difference between revisions

This part is longer and more complex than the first one. [[Rayman]] must begin by moving right and jumping a gap, collecting three [[Ting]]s as he goes. As he does this, a moving platform will appear on the far left, back the way he came, which will lead him to the first [[cage]] of the game. However, this [[cage]] cannot be reached until [[Rayman]] has gained the [[helicopter]] power. Taking this route will also reveal the first enemy of the game, which appears to be a flying [[Antitoon]].

Next, [[Rayman]] will have to jump onto a swinging [[plum]], and then onto a falling platform, before finally landing on top of a tree. From there, he can leap to the next major platform. There, he will find a bouncing [[plum]] and a vine. He can also jump down on the left side of the ledge to find the game's first [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]]. Taking the vine will lead [[Rayman]] to another new [[life]].  

Once he is ready, he can use his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] to punch the bouncing [[plum]] to the water on the right of the platform and ride it across, encountering [[piranha]]s on the way. He will eventually come to a series of small islands where he will encounter the first [[cage]] that can be broken. After crossing more vines, ledges, [[plum]]s and encountering two [[Antitoon]]s and a [[Livingstone]], he will come to the level's [[exit sign]]. There is, however, another secret area that can be accessed using the two vines above the [[exit sign]].

[[Rayman]] starts by moving right until he comes to a platform which he can use to get away from the rising water. He must climb the level using ledges and platforms, collecting [[Ting]]s as he goes, until finally he reaches a large ledge with a tree. He can use a vine to reach a large, sloped ledge on top of the tree and carry on upwards. Further along, he will encounter an [[Antitoon]] and finally reach the top of another tree. From there, he can jump a few more vines and land on a rising platform which will lead to a large ledge with another new [[life]]. There is a series of smaller ledges which will take him to the level's [[cage]]. This can be reached by jumping left and climbing a vine.

The fourth part is the longest part of Spellbound Forest. [[Rayman]] must first move right, over a small gap, until he comes to a body of water. There is a hanging [[plum]] that he can use to cross it, avoiding [[piranha]]s as he goes. When he reaches a small island, a falling platform will appear behind him, which he can use to access a swinging [[plum]] to the left. Continuing to the right will lead him initially to a dead end. There is a large body of water which requires a [[plum]], but this plum cannot be accessed from the ground.

Instead, [[Rayman]] must use the swinging [[plum]] to the left to reach a collection of ledges above, and another falling platform and swinging [[plum]] to reach another couple of high ledges with two [[Livingstone]]s. There is a series of vines and ledges above that will lead [[Rayman]] to another [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]]. However, if he carries on down below the [[Livingstone]]s, he can land on a platform from which he can hit the [[plum]] above the body of water that he reached earlier, and then ride it to the other side.

From here, a series of small islands will lead him to two falling platforms above the water, between which lies a vine. Climbing this vine will lead [[Rayman]] to a small ledge with a ledge to the left that is too high to reach and a falling platform to the right. The falling platform takes [[Rayman]] to another ledge with a small body of water which can be crossed via a falling platform. Crossing this will cause a falling platform to appear to the right. The part's only [[cage]] can be viewed from this area but not reached, as it is blocked by an immovable tree.

The new falling platform takes [[Rayman]] to another ledge with a body of water, identical to the first one, but this time there are [[piranha]]s in there which make crossing it a bit trickier. On the other side, [[Rayman]] will find a [[Ting]] and a heart, and a series of [[Ting]]s will appear taking [[Rayman]] back to the immovable tree that blocks the [[cage]]. However, this time a falling platform will appear which [[Rayman]] can use to pass over the tree and break the [[cage]].

[[Rayman]] can then drop back down to the ground and continue right. He will find another [[plum]] to ride, but this time he will have to jump and avoid [[Spiky fruit|spiky fruits]] that will either swing or drop on him to try to hinder his progress. Once he has crossed this body of water, he will come to more ledges with [[Antitoon]]s, as well as [[piranha]]s jumping up from the waters below. To the far right, he will find a rising platform that will take him to another series of ledges, which he must cross, avoiding or defeating [[piranha]]s and [[Antitoon]]s all the way. Eventually, he will come to a large ledge which, when he crosses as far left as he can go, will spawn another falling platform to the right, leading to a vine.
