Arcane Forest: Difference between revisions

[[Rayman]] must first make a number of jumps to the right, using his [[helicopter]] to make things easier, until he reaches a swinging [[plum]]. Riding the [[plum]] once will cause two [[scared platform]]s to appear below him, which will lead him to the level's first [[cage]]. Once he has broken it, he must return to the [[plum]] and continue right to reach his first slippery log. This will lead him to a series of vines which he must jump across, taking out some lurking [[antitoon]]s as he goes. When he reaches the next ledge, he can drop down to a vine below to retrieve a [[life]]. He can get a second [[life]] by jumping up to a vine above the next slippery log, and then jumping to a ledge next to it.

Sliding right, [[Rayman]] reaches a ledge and then climbs upwards, before starting left using a [[scared platform]] to cross some spikes. He then climbs upwards again and journeys left using logs, [[scared platform]]s, vines and ledges, overcoming spikes, [[antitoon]]s, and [[spiky fruit]]s. After he rides a [[scared platform]] past two swinging [[spiky fruit]]s, he will make a large jump to the left and then have the option to climb a vine and continue right or use a [[scared platform]] going downwards to reach the other [[cage]].

Taking a right will bring him along a few vines and ledges, past an [[antitoon]], to the level exit. However, if he drops down to a [[scared platform]] below, he can reach the [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]].

[[Rayman]] starts out at the top of a slippery log. He must slide down it to the right, land on a ledge, and then drop down to a ledge below. Moving left and jumping some spikes, he reaches a [[scared platform]] which he must ride upwards and then jump to another, which he takes right. This brings him across more falling and [[scared platform]]s until he comes to a vine, which he can jump to a long ledge where some [[spiky fruit]]s will fall towards him. As he makes his way right and jumps from the ledge to another falling platform, the level's first [[cage]] will appear on a ledge below. To reach it, [[Rayman]] must backtrack to the vine and drop down. He can also get a [[golden fist]] by climbing to the top of the vine.

Continuing right, he makes many jumps across ledges, falling and [[scared platform]]s, and even a swinging [[plum]]. Eventually, he will reach a slippery log. If he times his jump from it correctly he can reach the top of a ledge to the right, avoid a falling [[spiky fruit]], drop down and ride a [[scared platform]] downwards to the second [[cage]].

After getting used to the mirrored controls, [[Rayman]] must pass several smaller ledges, some of which have [[antitoon]]s around them. Once he has passed this, he can jump onto a [[scared platform]] and ride it downwards. If he rides it back up after it has reached the bottom of its descent, it will take him up to another [[scared platform]], from which he can jump to a slippery log and slide left to find a [[life]], [[golden fist]] and the [[cage]]. Taking this route will also cause him to encounter his first [[carnivorous plant]] enemy and also a [[flying ring]] that moves right, the first one of its kind in this version of the game. He then drops down and rejoins the level's main path.

If [[Rayman]] chooses not to persue the secret passage, he will need to make a few jumps across falling platforms and slippery logs to the right. If he does visit the secret area, he will rejoin the main path around this point. Continuing right, he eventually finds a [[Blowing Fuffy]] located on a slippery log, making it all the more dangerous if [[Rayman]] is to its left or right when it blows. If he uses it properly, it will catapult him upwards to a few more ledges and a vine, which he can climb to some larger ledges above.

Here, he will encounter two more [[carnivorous plant]]s, his first if he did not visit the secret area. If he can defeat, or avoid, them a [[scared platform]] will appear by the vine he has just climbed, which will take him to a [[life]] and [[golden fist]]. From this point, another [[scared platform]] will also take him left to the [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]]. The controls are not mirrored during the [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]].

Going right from where he fought the two [[carnivorous plant]]s, [[Rayman]] crosses some spikes, slides on some logs, and eventually climbs up using some falling platforms and ledges. This will take him to the top of the level, a [[flying ring]], and the exit.
