The Echoing Caves

The Echoing Caves (Echoing Caves in the PlayStation version) is a level in Rayman 2: The Great Escape. This level allows the player to revisit a part of the Fairy Glade which was unreachable before (and where a Globox Crystal can be found in the Dreamcast version), via a secret passage, and introduces kegs which can be used as rocket to get across pools of acid.

The Echoing Caves The Echoing Caves ← The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire The Precipice → {{{connected to}}} Original version Phase 1 This part of the area is a rainy part of a forest, and has places where Rayman has to locate and turn on four switches in order to access a door which a Red Robo-pirate goes into at the very beginning of the level. This is another of few areas in the game where plums grow, and this part of the level also involves swimming. Phase 2 Rayman is now underground, and has to cross a body of green liquid by using a keg as a rocket several times until he comes out into a area of cliffs and sand similar of Whale Bay. The passage to the Fairy Glade is found in the underground area and is accessed by rocketing over there with a keg.

Phase 2 and 3 are gone completely, and Phase 1 now occurs as Phase 2. Phase 1, in this game, is now Phase 2 of the original Precipice, requiring Rayman to climb a sinking tower. Phase 3 is now the Phase 2 of The Top of the World a level omitted from Revolution. The end of the level now features a Ninja Henchmen battle as the player must destroy one of two generators to reach the Lava Sanctuary. The original Phase 2 and 3 are now found in the Precipice. As a result, this level no longer introduces the flying kegs.

It resembles the original level much more than the rest of the game.
