''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' takes place in various locations throughout [[the Glade of Dreams]], in contrast to [[Rayman 1|the original game]], which took place in a single surreal location known as [[the valley]]. ''Rayman 2''’s manual contain's the game's backstory: an army of [[Robo-Pirate]]s from the depths of space have arrived in the Glade of Dreams. Led by the infamous [[Admiral Razorbeard]], the Robo-Pirates have already destroyed more than one hundred peaceful planets, and intend to enslave the inhabitants of the Glade. A resistance movement is formed to combat the pirates~~. The~~ heroic [[Rayman]] ~~and~~ his [[toad]]-like ~~old~~ friend [[Globox]] head to [[the Great Forest]], where the pirates have gathered, and launch ~~their~~ attack. In the middle of the battle, Rayman suddenly loses his powers. He is telepathically contacted by an ally, [[Ly the Fairy]], who tells him that the pirates have just destroyed [[the Heart of the World]], the mystical orb of energy which kept the world's balance intact. It has been shattered into a thousand fragments known as [[Yellow Lum]]s, which are now scattered across the Glade. As a result of this unnatural upheaval, Rayman has lost the powers granted to him by [[Betilla the Fairy]] (with the exception of his [[helicopter|helicopter hair]]), rendering him helpless and leaving him to the mercy of the pirates. At Rayman's encouragement, Globox flees to find Ly. Rayman is captured by the pirates, and brought face-to-face with the Admiral Razorbeard, who tells Rayman that he will soon be his most obedient slave. Rayman vows revenge.

[[File:Grand Minimus Woods of Light.jpg|thumb|right|320px|[[Rayman]] meets the [[Grand Minimus]] for the first time]]

At the opening of the game, we see numerous [[Robo-Pirate]] [[Warship]]s flying above the seas off the coast of the Glade of Dreams. The narrator informs us that they are searching for innocent prey, and that the Glade has been reduced to a planet of anguish and pain. The destruction of [[the Heart of the World]] has disrupted the natural order – as a result, evil creatures such as [[caterpillar]]s, [[spider]]s, [[piranha]]s and [[Zombie Chicken]]s have begun to proliferate. [[Rayman]] has been captured by the pirates and is currently being held in the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', the colossal, flying prison-ship where they keep their tens of thousands of slaves. Inside the ''Buccaneer'', we see that [[Globox]] has just been captured; he is being dragged to his cell by a pair of basic [[Henchman 800|Henchmen 800]]. Once inside, he is reunited with Rayman, who is overjoyed to see his friend but despairs of their current situation. Globox offers a ray of hope: he reaches into his mouth and pulls out a [[Silver Lum]], a glowing ball of energy which can grant Rayman a new power. [[Ly the Fairy]] created it and gave it to Globox, instructing him to allow himself to be captured so that he could smuggle it to Rayman. The hero absorbs the Silver Lum through [[Rayman's symbol|the round symbol on his chest]], and finds that his [[magic fist]] power – the ability to throw energy spheres – has been restored. Rayman uses it to break into a ventilation duct, and the two friends slide out of the ship and fall into the forest below.
