'''Band Land''' (French: '''''Le Ciel Chromatique''''' – '''''The Chromatic Sky''''') is the second world in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. It is a land made up of music and musical instruments and set high in the sky.


==Description==
==Description==
Sights such as giant [[drum]]s, recorders and xylophones are characteristic of Band Land. [[Rayman]] often finds himself battling [[trumpet]]s and [[moth]]s while dodging dangerous [[wrong note]]s, [[spiky ball]]s and [[cymbals]]. The 'ground' usually consists of drum material or slippery musical staves, from which the player must be careful not to fall. As [[Rayman]] progresses, he ascends higher into the sky: the levels feature increasing amounts of [[cloud]]s, snow and lightning. Most of the platforms in Band Land are music-related: [[Rayman]] can use [[maracas rocket]]s to fly, [[bongo]]s to cross chasms, and [[walking drum]]s to reach inaccessible heights. The boss of this world is [[Mr Sax]], a giant saxophone.
Giant music instruments such as [[drum]]s, flutes and xylophones make up most of Band Land, interspersed with [[wrong note]]s and [[spiky ball]]s. As [[Rayman]] progresses, he ascends higher into the sky: the levels feature increasing amounts of [[cloud]]s, snow and lightning. Up there, it is also possible to slide on musical staves, but he must be careful not to fall from the heights of this place. Most of the platforms in Band Land are music-related: [[Rayman]] can use [[maracas rocket]]s to fly, [[bongo]]s to cross chasms, and [[walking drum]]s to reach inaccessible heights.
 
In the ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' games, tiny [[wrong note]]s can also be found.
 
The enemies in Band Land include [[antitoon]]s, [[hunter]]s, [[moth]]s, [[trumpet]]s, [[lightning eyes]], [[wrong note]]s, [[cymbals]] and [[mad drummer]]s. The boss is [[Mr Sax]], a giant saxophone. [[Rayman]] will meet him in [[Allegro Presto]], and fight him after a frantic chase in [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]].
 
During his trek through Band Land, [[Rayman]] receives the power of the [[helicopter]] from [[Betilla the Fairy]], at the end of [[Allegro Presto]].

''[[Rayman Origins]]'' features adjacent environments based directly on Band Land: the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]] and the [[Grumbling Grottos]]. These worlds combine Band Land's musical component with an arid desert landscape. It is not clear if these locations are part of Band Land, near Band Land, or simply different places that look strangely similar to Band Land.
