Now that's what every article about a level from Rayman 2 should look like... except for the part about Revolution, which isn't finished yet.

The '''Woods of Light''' or '''the Clearing''' is a location in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. It follows [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]]'s escape from  [[the Buccaneer]], and is the first level in all versions of the game but the [[Rayman 2 Forever|GBC adaptation]], in which it doesn't appear at all. It is a tutorial level without enemies and significantly shorter than the other levels in the game. This is where [[Rayman]] learns that [[Ly the Fairy]] was captured by the [[Robo-Pirate Army|pirates]] and then decides to set her free.
 
The '''Woods''' or '''Forest of Light''' (called '''The Clearing''' in the PS version of ''Rayman 2'') is a location in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remakes. Following [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] and [[Globox]]'s escape from  ''[[the Buccaneer]]'', this is the very first "true" level in the game. It is a tutorial level in all versions of the game, in which in all versions other than the PlayStation version, [[Murfy]], a greenbottle, arrives to teach Rayman (and indirectly the player) the basics of the game's controls by walking past the [[Stones of Thought]].
 
In ''Revolution'', this level may only be accessed once.

The ''[[Prison Ship|Buccaneer]]'' => '''Woods of Light''' => [[The Fairy Glade]]
After being separated from [[Globox]], [[Rayman]] starts looking for his friend and finds himself in these peaceful woods. He meets [[Murfy]], who arrives to teach him the basics of the game's controls as he walks past the [[Stone of Thought|Stones of Thought]].

[[Rayman]] soon finds the first [[cage]] in the game, which contains the first [[yellow Lum]] he will collect. He has to go down a waterfall, and then up a small valley to find three [[Baby Globox]]es crying.
 
They temporarily calm down when they see [[Rayman]], but start crying again when they learn he has no idea where their father is. [[Rayman]] then asks where [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] is, and the babies burst in tears, telling him she was captured by the [[Robo-Pirate Army|pirates]].


*Level Type: Forest
[[Rayman]] then decides to head for [[the Fairy Glade]], where she is help captive, and frees a group of [[Teensie]]s who argue over who of them is the king. If he has collected the five [[yellow Lum]]s in the level, he will be able to use [[the Hall of Doors]] and leave the place.
*Number of Lums: 5
*Number of Cages: 2

This section is empty.
The level is almost identical to the one in the original version, yet graphically enhanced.

At the end of the level, a [[purple Lum]] giving access to [[Globox Village]] can be found, even though [[Rayman]] will have to get [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]]'s [[silver Lum]] in [[the Fairy Glade]] first.
 
Notably, [[the Hall of Doors]] is replaced by [[the Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast version.

The ''[[Prison Ship|Buccaneer]]'' => '''The Clearing''' => [[The Fairy Glade]]
The level was significantly remodelled in the PlayStation version, but very little actually changes in [[Rayman]]'s progression. The waterfall at the beginning of the level is totally different, and the part where [[Rayman]] has to climb between two walls was replaced by several pillars and a rope ladder. [[Murfy]] doesn't appear and the advice is given by [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] instead.


*Level Type: Forest

*Number of Cages: 0

Compared to the original version, there are twice as many [[yellow Lum]]s and only one [[cage]].
