The Hall of Doors: Difference between revisions

The Hall of Doors was constructed long ago by the [[Teensie]]s, who lead [[Rayman]] to it near the beginning of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. The place where all paths eventually meet, the Hall of Doors is a dark metaphysical wood, with a glass-like river stretching throughout it. The river contains [[Spiral Door]]s leading to the levels of the game. Stars are seen both in the sky and in the distance below the river. In the Hall of Doors, the player does not have direct control of [[Rayman]]; a single press of one of the four directional buttons will cause Rayman to run to the Spiral Door in that direction, following [[Lum (The Hall of Doors)|the Lum]]. This system of level-selection is the same as that used in the world map in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. When Rayman walks to a [[Spiral Door]], a hologram of something from that Door's level appears. For example, bringing Rayman to the [[Spiral Door|Door]] which leads to the [[Tomb of the Ancients]] will cause a hologram of a [[Zombie Chicken]] to appear.

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the PlayStation 2 remake of ''Rayman 2'', the Hall of Doors is replaced by a new hub known as [[the Front]]. Comprised of the [[Minisaurus Plain]], [[Globox's House]] and [[Rainbow Creek]], the Front is much larger than the Hall of Doors, and [[Rayman]] can traverse it freely, like a normal level.
