''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' features naturalistic locations that are similar to those of ''Rayman 2''. However, the locations of ''Rayman 3'' do not flow seamlessly like those of ''Rayman 2'', but contrast sharply with one another, like those of the original game. For example, Rayman travels from [[the Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|an idyllic Celtic landscape]] to [[the Desert of the Knaaren|a scorched desert]], and from [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds|an icy mountain range]] to [[Hoodlum Headquarters|an outlandish factory]]. One official ''Rayman 3'' website contained an interactive map showing the geographical relationship between the game's levels, but this map has since been lost.

The next game, ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', takes place on a group of islands. Harking back to the original game, they are clearly distinct, and some are naturalistic ([[Jibberish Jungle|forest]], [[Mystical Pique|mountain]], [[Sea of Serendipity|sea]]), while others are surrealistic ([[Desert of Dijiridoos|music]], [[Gourmand Land|food]], [[Moody Clouds|machinery]]). While some of these locations strongly resemble areas of [[the valley]], they do not seem to be located in the valley in the literal sense. ''Rayman Origins'' also introduces [[the Snoring Tree]] as the central resting place of [[Polokus]], and the [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|Land of the Livid Dead]] as the Glade's nightmarish underworld. Though both are referred to as 'the Glade of Dreams', it is not clear how the islands of ''Rayman Origins'' relate to the large island of ''Rayman 2''. It could be that the large island dissolved into smaller ones at the beginning of ''Origins'', when the [[Livid Dead]] invaded and the dreams underlying reality began to disintegrate. It could also be that ''Origins'' simply takes place on the [[Archipelago]] of small islands shown to be located off the south-east shore on the ''Rayman 2'' map.

The large, shadowy landscape that can be glimpsed at the bottom edge and corners of the ''Rayman Origins'' map supports this idea.
