Rayman is a 2D side-scrolling platform game, unlike its successors.  The game is made up of six different worlds, half of which are natural (The Dream Forest, Blue Mountain and the Cave of Skops), while the other half is 'imaginary' (Band Land, Picture City and the Candy Château).  Each of these worlds excluding Candy Chateau contains four or three levels, each with six cages with Electoons to find.  The game's difficulty is progressive, meaning that it gets harder as the player continues.
Rayman hates this shit and hopes all you assholes die.
 
The game displays consist of how many lives Rayman has, five units of energy (six in Rayman Advance), and how many Tings he has collected.  Rayman normally starts with four lives and three health units, and can collect up to 99 lives.  When he takes damage, he loses one unit, and when he loses all of them, he loses a life, his temporary fist powers, and all of the Tings he had collected.  Upon Game  Over, he has up to nine continues depending on version, which are represented with alarm clocks.   
 
===List of Powers and power-ups===
 
At the start of the game, Rayman is only able to pull a grimace, which is used to scare certain enemies.  As he continues, he would receive permanent powers from Betilla the Fairy that gradually widen his abilities, as well as receive a few temporary ones.
 
====Permanent====
* '''Grimace:''' Rayman's only ability at the game's beginning, only useful for getting rid of tall Livingstones which are scared of this. 
* '''Telescopic Fist:''' The first power you gain from Betilla the Fairy, which allows Rayman to punch enemies to defeat them.  This can be temporarily powered up by Speed Fists and Gold Fists.
* '''Hanging:''' Allows Rayman to hang onto ledges.
* '''Grappling:''' When acquired, Rayman can use his fist to grapple onto flying rings which are scattered around the place, allowing him to reach high places and cross wide gaps. 
* '''Helicopter:''' When acquired, Rayman can use his odd looking hair as a helicopter which only allows him to glide, and prolong his jumps.
* '''Running:''' Rayman's last permanent power, which allows him to move faster than walking.  It also makes his jumps a lot longer and faster. 
 
====Temporary====
* '''Magic Seed:''' Given to Rayman after helping Tarayzan, Rayman plants seeds to help him reach ledges and escape floods. 
* '''Super Helicopter:''' A potion that allows Rayman to actually fly with his helicopter hair. 
* '''Shrinking:''' Touching blue elves makes Rayman tiny, which is useful for accessing areas which were too small for normal-sized Rayman to go through.  He returns to normal size when he touches another blue elf. 
 
====Power-ups====
 
* '''Ting:''' Small blue bubbles, used either to pay the Magician to enter a bonus stage, or to gain an extra life when 100 are collected. 
* '''Power:''' Comes in either a small red atom with a P on the front, or a large red one - the former gives Rayman one unit of health, while the latter replenishes his entire health. 
* '''Speed Fist:''' Allows Rayman's fist to fly faster than normal.  Three different speeds are available.   
* '''Gold Fist:'''  Allows Rayman's fist to be twice as strong. 
* '''Rayman Statue:''' Gives Rayman an extra life, as well as restoring his entire health.
