The Dream Forest

• This article is about the first world in the original game. For the level in the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, see Dream forest (Rayman Raving Rabbids).

Rayman must go through the jungle without falling into the swamps. He'll fight Hunters and Explorators there. It's here he'll meet his first friend, Tarayzan. Help him to dress up, and wait! The big boss is Moskito, the fearsome giant mosquito...

The very first scenery of the Dream Forest

The Dream Forest is the first world in the game Rayman. It consists of a luxuriant tropical forest which darkens as Rayman goes through it. The swamps encircle this universe of greenery and its wild flora. There are dancing flowers and mushrooms around which twirl blue butterflies, as well as bizarre trees, some of them being at the boundary between plants and fungi. Lianas Rayman can climb abound, as well as flower and mushroom beds, and plums, recurring fruits in the Rayman series, already allow him to pass through the marshes, or to take out livingstones. There are also spiky fruits of all sizes, strange rocking flowers, and curious nenuphars onto which Rayman can jump. Thanks to Tarayzan's magic seed, it is possible to grow similar plants. Note that in the Rayman Junior games, a similar but deadly version of such plants exists, as well as thorn lianas.

The big boss of the Dream Forest, Moskito

The enemies in the Dream Forest include antitoons, small and tall livingstones, hunters, piranhas, and tentacle-flowers. The bosses are Bzzit and Moskito, two giant mosquitoes. Rayman will make friends with the first one, who'll help him to pass through Anguish Lagoon.

During his trek in the Dream Forest, Rayman will receive his first three powers from Betilla the Fairy. First of all, he'll learn to use his telescopic fist in Pink Plant Woods. Next, he will receive the power to hang onto ledges in Anguish Lagoon. Finally, he will receive the Grappling Fist at the end of Moskito's Nest.

The Forest world

The Forest world in the Game Boy Advance adaptation of Rayman Raving Rabbids is based heavily upon the Dream Forest. Many elements of the Dream Forest, such as livingstones, piranhas, plums, hunters, nenuphars, and a large number of background plants return in it.
