===[[The Fairy Council]]===
The game begins with [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] sleeping peacefully in the forests of the [[the Glade of Dreams|the Crossroads of Dreams]]. Meanwhile, [[André]], a [[Black Lum]] sets out to conquer the world, by converting [[Red Lums]] into Black Lums. They then attack a group of [[Sylkin]], who are herding a [[Bonton]] with aid from [[Murfy]]. They steal the Bonton's wool and use it to transform André into the first [[Hoodmonger]], and by extension, the first [[Hoodlum]]. André then notices the cowering Murfy, and gives chase. Murfy eventually encounters and awakens Globox, and both attempt to wake and hide [[Rayman]]. Their attempt is unsuccessful, and causes Globox to run off with Rayman's hands, leaving Murfy to fly off, grabbing the now-awake Rayman's hair, to flee André.
[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] are sleeping peacefully together in the forests of [[the Glade of Dreams|the Crossroads of Dreams]]. A nearby [[Red Lum]] receives such a terrible fright that it is transformed into an evil [[Black Lum]] named [[André]], with aspirations of world domination. André begins to convert other Red Lums into Black Lums, spreading his corruption simply by touching them. Soon André has a large swarm of Black Lum minions. Acting as one, they steal the wool from a nearby [[Bonton]] and weave it into a sack-cloth costume for André: he has now become the first [[Hoodlum]]. Raising his blunderbuss, he advances towards the terrified [[Murfy]], who cowers behind a [[mushroom]]. Murfy flees and wakes up Globox. Unable to awaken Rayman, Globox tries to drag him to safety and accidentally pulls off his hands. Murfy grabs Rayman by the hair and flies him to [[the Fairy Council]], where André's forces are gathering. Many Black Lums have now become Hoodlums – multiple Hoodlum varieties are beginning to emerge. Rayman tracks down Globox, who returns his hands. Inside the Fairy Council, Rayman manages to defeat André's Hoodlum form, reducing him to a Black Lum once more. André reveals his plan: to reach [[the Heart of the World]], deep within the Fairy Council, and convert [[Yellow Lum|its energy]] into an army of Hoodlums with which he can take over the world. In the ensuing struggle, André accidentally flies into the mouth of Globox, who unintentionally swallows him. When the heroes reach the chamber housing the Heart of the World, they encounter the [[Grand Minimus]], the Kings of the [[Teensie]]s. Realising that André must be extracted from Globox's stomach, the Grand Minimus instructs Rayman to take him to an old friend of his – [[Otto Psi]], a [[Teensie doctor]] whose office is in the [[Clearleaf Forest]]. Murfy takes leave of Rayman, saying ‘See you in ''[[Rayman 4]]''!’. Rayman and Globox step into a portal and pass through a psychedelic [[Teensie Highway]], which leads them to their next destination.
 
After escaping, Murfy and Rayman attempt to track down Globox to retrieve Rayman's hands, they eventually find him outside of the [[Fairy Council]] premises. However, André and newer Hoodlums soon appear, causing Globox to flee inside in terror, before entering the council themselves. Rayman and Murfy then give chase, and encounter their first [[Laser-Washing Powder]] power-up; the [[Vortex]], which would help Rayman create platforms from [[Meadowscrew]]s situated in the Fairy Council and later locations. During their pursuit, they are able to defeat André's Hoodlum form, and it is then that he reveals his plan to convert the energy of the [[Heart of the World]] into an army of Hoodlum'. Faced with the disruption of the world's harmony, Rayman and Murfy venture deeper to prevent André from achieving his goal, while in pursuit, they reunite with Globox once more, who ends up swallowing André after he flew into him.
 
After this encounter, Rayman and Murfy finally reach the Heart of the World, and learn of Globox's affliction. The [[Grand Minimus]] then inform Rayman that in order to separate André from Globox, they would need to see [[Otto Psi]], a [[Teensie doctor]] residing in [[Clearleaf Forest]]. They then part ways with Murfy, then use a nearby portal to access a [[Teensie Highway]] leading to Clearleaf Forest.

===[[Clearleaf Forest]]===
Exiting the [[Teensie Highway]], Rayman and Globox find themselves in a now Hoodlum occupied Clearleaf Forest, and almost immediately Rayman is drawn into combat with some [[Hoodmonger]]s as he attempt to traverse the forest and make his way to [[Otto Psi]]'s office. Other signs of the Hoodlum's occupation are the abundance of [[cage]]d Teensies, continuing the trend of having creatures to free from imprisonment set back in the [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman Game'']]. Caged Teensies would continue to be encountered in following worlds, some would require freeing in order to obtain a necessary power-up to proceed, while others would provide Rayman with [[jewels]] or [[Red Lums]].
On the other side of the [[Teensie Highway]], [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] find themselves in the [[Clearleaf Forest]]. [[André]], still trapped inside Globox's stomach, begins to shout taunts and insults – this continues for most of the game. There are now a great many [[Hoodlum]]s throughout the world – they are fought in almost every subsequent level. The Hoodlums have also started imprisoning [[Teensie]]s in [[cage]]s – although it is not strictly necessary to do so, Rayman can break these cages open. He is rewarded with [[Red Lum]]s, [[jewel]]s, and – as in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman]]'' – permanent increases to his health. Like the Hoodlums themselves, these Teensie cages are found in almost every subsequent level. Rayman takes Globox through the forest. Along the way, he defeats [[Master Kaag]], a baby Hoodlum and mechanical genius. Eventually the heroes arrive at the office of [[Otto Psi]], the first [[Teensie doctor]]. Otto attempts to remove André from Globox's stomach by playing Globox's arm like a guitar. This method proves unsuccessful – it only causes André to take refuge deeper in Globox's body. Otto refers the duo to the second Teensie doctor, [[Roméo Patti]], whose office is in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]. He ushers them into a portal leading to another [[Teensie Highway]].
 
During his time in the Clearleaf forest, Rayman would encounter three new [[Laser-Washing Powder]] power-ups, the [[Heavy Metal Fist]], the [[LockJaw]], and the [[Shock Rocket]]. All would find use as means to help Rayman proceed through the forest and later locations. Eventually, in the outskirts of Otto Psi's office, Rayman encounters [[Master Kaag]], a genius baby Hoodlum armed with a contraption called the [[Hoodstomper]], the [[Shock Rocket]] proves key to beating it. Once beaten, Rayman is able to use the Hoodstomper to defeat waves of incoming [[Hoodmongers]], clearing the area and allowing him and Globox to enter Otto Psi's office.
 
After beating the Hoodmongers within Otto Psi's office, Otto Psi attempts to operate on Globox and remove André from his innards. Otto attempts to remove André from Globox's stomach by playing Globox's arm like a guitar. This method proves unsuccessful – it only causes André to take refuge deeper in Globox's body. Otto refers the duo to a second Teensie doctor, [[Roméo Patti]], whose office is in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]. He then leaves them, opening a portal to a Teensie Highway supposedly leading to the [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|Land of the Livid Dead]].

Unfortunately this particular [[Teensie Highway]] is broken. [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] are separated as they fall through some spatial rift into [[the Bog of Murk]], a dark and unpleasant swamp. Rayman lands in the outhouse of the hideous witch [[Bégoniax]], provoking her wrath. After he defeats her, she ushers him into her magic mirror, and he is teleported into another region of the Bog. After fighting his way past the [[Hoodlum]]s, he arrives at the mansion of [[Count Razoff]] the hunter, last of the [[Shoedsackovskaïa family]]. After defeating Razoff, Rayman finds Globox in the hunter's dungeon. Bégoniax appears, revealing her love for Razoff; she carries the protesting hunter away. Rayman spots another magic mirror in Razoff's dungeon. Realising that it is another portal, the heroes step into it.

After stepping through the portal, [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] find themselves in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]], a mild, Celtic-styled landscape populated by [[Griskin]]s, the ghosts of a [[Teensie]] tribe. After overcoming many Hoodlum enemies, the heroes find themselves at the foot of a tower made of light. Long ago, this was constructed by the [[Great Spirit Palmito]] as a prison for the Griskins. When Rayman frees the ghosts, they help him along his way by destroying some Hoodlums. Rayman then defeats [[Céloche]], a gigantic, amphibious, mechanical tripod piloted by a Hoodlum. The heroes finally arrive at the office of [[Roméo Patti]], the second [[Teensie doctor]]. Roméo attempts to extract [[André]] from Globox's stomach by drumming on his belly; however, this only drives André into Globox's brain. Roméo refers the heroes to the third and final Teensie doctor, [[Gonzo]], whose office is in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]. He then ushers them into another [[Teensie Highway]] portal.

===[[The Desert of the Knaaren]]===
 
The heroes emerge in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], a scorched landscape whose cavernous underworld is inhabited by sadistic beasts known as [[Knaaren]], who worship a god known as [[the Leptys]]. The Knaaren quickly capture [[Globox]], leaving [[Rayman]] to make his own way through the tunnels. Rayman himself is eventually captured, and forced to take part in an arena battle against [[Reflux]], the undefeated champion of the Knaaren. Rayman defeats Reflux, and [[Gumsi]], the child-king of the Knaaren, grudgingly rewards him. With [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]], Gumsi invokes his god, and it bestows a new power upon Rayman: the [[Grimace]]. Rayman can now pull a grotesque face which causes corrupt [[Black Lum]]s to revert into harmless [[Red Lum]]s. Armed with this new power, Rayman and Globox finally arrive at the office of [[Gonzo]], the third [[Teensie doctor]]. Gonzo summons [[Otto Psi]] and [[Roméo Patti]], and the three doctors together do what the individuals could not: their joined music succeeds in exorcising [[André]] from Globox's body. Unfortunately for the heroes, André escapes. The doctors despair, realising that if André finds the energy to multiple, all is lost. Deep within the tunnels under [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], he tracks down Reflux, who was disgraced by his defeat at the hands of Rayman. André convinces Reflux to steal [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] from his king, [[Gumsi]]. With the energy from the Sceptre, André will be able to spawn a vast army of [[Black Lum]]s (and subsequently [[Hoodlum]]s). André promises that he will make sure Reflux gets a chance to exact his revenge upon Rayman.

The [[Teensie doctor]]s take [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] through a portal. Once they arrive, the doctors explain the situation to the heroes: [[André]] and [[Reflux]] have joined forces and plan to invoke [[the Leptys]], gaining unimagineable powers. The doctors tell the heroes that they are currently in [[the Longest Shortcut]], which will hopefully allow them to catch up with the villains. A temple filled with light, mirrors and statues of the [[Grand Minimus]], this level focuses entirely on puzzles and platforming, and features no combat. At the end of the level, the heroes find themselves at a dock, where the three doctors are waiting for them. The doctors inform them that they are too late, but give them a ship, telling them to use it to try and catch up with the villains. Rayman and Globox climb aboard and set sail.

As they cross [[the Looming Sea]], their ship is assailed by [[Hoodlum]] watercraft, but [[Rayman]] manages to fight them off. Eventually [[Globox]] steers the ship to the snowy mountain range known as [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]]. Ascending the mountains, Rayman and Globox eventually find the hidden entrance to the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], where they will hopefully be able to find and stop [[André]].

===[[Hoodlum Headquarters]]===
 
The [[Hoodlum Headquarters]] is the [[Hoodlum]]s' base of operations: an underground network of crate-filled tunnels and magma-filled caverns, all presided over by a [[hostess]] whose sensual voice whispers instructions over the intercom. Globox sees a cardboard cut-out of his wife [[Uglette]] in a bikini – believing it to be the source of the attractive voice, Globox runs towards it and falls into a trap door, where he is captured. [[André]]'s voice follows Rayman as he makes his way through the Hoodlum Headquarters, constantly taunting him and shouting instructions to his Hoodlum minions. At one point, Globox is taken by a mechanical arm into a room filled with [[Armaguiddon]]s – flying Hoodlum vehicles. It is later revealed that he has somehow managed to escape and commandeer one. Eventually Rayman finds the [[Horrible Machine]], a boiler-like construction which lies at the heart of the Hoodlum Headquarters. It appears to manufacture Hoodlums. When Rayman defeats it, it breaks down, and the entire Hoodlum Headquarters begins to collapse. Rayman manages to escape just in time – the Horrible Machine explodes, blasting fire and [[Black Lum]]s in all directions and blowing the entireHoodlum Headquarters into oblivion. The blast sends Rayman flying through the air. André manages to escape from the chaos of the exploding Hoodlum Headquarters. He flies to the top of the nearby [[the Tower of the Leptys|Tower of the Leptys]], where [[Reflux]] stands waiting for him. Reflux holds [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]]. Raising it to the sky, he shouts an invocation, commanding [[the Leptys]] to give him its power. The sky swirls and darkens, and becomes filled with a vibrant blue mixture of strange stars, clouds and asteroids. This mystical mass of energy seems to be the Leptys itself. As Reflux raises the Sceptre, it is struck by bolts of lightning from the Leptys above. The Sceptre glows more and more brightly.

===[[The Tower of the Leptys]]===
 
The explosion of the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]] sent [[Rayman]] flying through the air – now he lands at the foot of [[the Tower of the Leptys]], slowing his descent with his [[helicopter]] hair. The sky above glows with [[the Leptys]]'s power. Rayman enters the Tower and begins to climb. Although the Tower is filled with [[Hoodlum]]s, the statues it contains make it apparent that it was built by the [[Knaaren]] in honour of their god, [[the Leptys]]. Eventually Rayman meets up with [[Globox]], who seems to have escaped the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]] with the [[Armaguiddon]] he now drives. The heroes use the Armaguiddon to ascend through the upmost tunnels of the Tower, which are filled with gigantic gears and vertical passageways which would have been impassable on foot. Rayman must use the Armaguiddon's plasma cannon to defeat waves of Hoodlum-piloted enemy Armaguiddons along the way. Globox seems to miss André's presence – he now perceives the malevolent [[Black Lum]] as a mischievous child, and seems to lack any awareness of what is actually happening. Once they reach the top of the Tower, Rayman goes on ahead to the final confrontation. [[Reflux]] has grown and mutated as a result of absorbing [[the Leptys]]'s power. The two have a brief battle – Rayman defeats Reflux by attacking the Sceptre. Reflux then decides that he requires more power than he can get by simply wielding [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] as a weapon – he now takes the Sceptre and embeds it into the flesh of his own back. This greatly magnifies Reflux's power, causing him to mutate even further and grow to a colossal size. The two have another battle – Rayman now manages to climb up Reflux's arm and onto his back, where he can continue to attack the Sceptre embedded in his flesh. Next Reflux begins to float, and causes the upper blocks of the Tower to levitate upwards with him. Rayman must climb these blocks while avoiding Reflux's attacks. Eventually Rayman finds a [[Shock Rocket]], which he uses to attack the Sceptre once more. Reflux then sprouts wings – he now bears a resemblance to the gigantic, eagle-like statue of the Leptys seen in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]. He flies upwards into the glowing storm of energy overhead. Rayman is unsure how to proceed – luckily Globox appears in his Armaguiddon, and the heroes ride it upwards into the strange storm in the sky. They then find themselves in a surreal landscape filled with eyes on stalks – this world appears to be some manifestation of the Leptys itself. They are attacked by Reflux, who chases them in a circle through the air. Rayman uses the Armaguiddon's plasma cannon to damage Reflux. This forces Reflux to alight on the ground of this bizarre place for a moment so he can recover. When he lands, Reflux shoots a barrage of hundreds of Black Lums from the flesh of his back. As they hit the ground, they transform into an army of Hoodlums. These Hoodlums march back into Reflux, where they are absorbed. If Rayman uses the Armaguiddon's bomb launcher to kill some of the Hoodlums, Reflux's overall health is reduced. When all of these Hoodlums are absorbed or destroyed, Reflux flies after the heroes and their Armaguiddon again. These two stages of the battle are repeated alternately until either Rayman or Reflux is defeated. when Reflux is finally beaten, he freezes into a gigantic block of solid ice, then shatters and disappears. André emerges from Reflux's remains – it is revealed that he was inside Reflux throughout the entire battle. This is the reason Reflux could shoot Black Lums from his back – André was inside him, converting the energy from the Sceptre of the Leptys into more Black Lums. André is now alone and helpless, and is entirely at Rayman's mercy. In desperation he cries out to Globox for help, but receives none. Rayman pulls a [[Grimace]], converting André back into a [[Red Lum]]. This causes all of the Black Lums throughout [[the Glade of Dreams|the Crossroads of Dreams]] to revert, effectively putting an end to the Hoodlum invasion. Rayman and Globox tumble all the way to the ground; their fall is broken by a [[Squab]]. Rayman realises that they are now in exactly the same place they were in when [[Murfy]] woke them up at the beginning of the game. He remarks that they can now get a good night's sleep after all – the events of the entire game took place over the course of just one day. Globox appears to be sad. When Rayman asks him what is wrong, Globox says that he misses André. He asks Rayman to scare a Red Lum, thus bringing André back. Rayman says that he does not think this is a good idea. As he drifts off to sleep, Rayman remarks that that he hates to imagine what could possibly scare a [[Lum]]. A flashback is then shown. It reveals that, immediately prior to the beginning of the game, Rayman's hands sleepwalked and created strange shadow puppets on a wall. These shadow puppets frightened a nearby Red Lum so badly that it was transformed into a Black Lum: André. This means that the actions of Rayman's wandering hands brought about the creation of the Hoodlum army and caused all the events of the entire game.

This causes all of the Black Lums throughout [[the Glade of Dreams|the Crossroads of Dreams]] to revert, effectively putting an end to the Hoodlum invasion. Rayman and Globox tumble all the way to the ground; their fall is broken by a [[Squab]]. Rayman realises that they are now in exactly the same place they were in when [[Murfy]] woke them up at the beginning of the game. He remarks that they can now get a good night's sleep after all – the events of the entire game took place over the course of just one day. Globox appears to be sad. When Rayman asks him what is wrong, Globox says that he misses André. He asks Rayman to scare a Red Lum, thus bringing André back. Rayman says that he does not think this is a good idea. As he drifts off to sleep, Rayman remarks that that he hates to imagine what could possibly scare a [[Lum]]. A flashback is then shown. It reveals that, immediately prior to the beginning of the game, Rayman's hands sleepwalked and created strange shadow puppets on a wall. These shadow puppets frightened a nearby Red Lum so badly that it was transformed into a Black Lum: André. This means that the actions of Rayman's wandering hands brought about the creation of the Hoodlum army and caused all the events of the entire game.
