==Gameplay==

[[File:BetillaPoingGrappin.png|frame|class=sprite|[[Rayman]] gets all of his permanent powers from [[Betilla the Fairy]].]]

Rayman is a 2D side-scrolling platform game, unlike its successors. The game takes place in [[the valley|a valley]] which is made up of six different worlds, half of which are natural ([[the Dream Forest]], [[Blue Mountains]], and [[the Caves of Skops]]), while the other half is 'imaginary' ([[Band Land]], [[Picture City]], and the [[Candy Château]]). Each of these worlds excluding Candy Château contains three or four levels, each with six [[cage]]s with [[Electoon]]s to find. The game's difficulty is progressive, meaning that it gets harder as the player continues.

The game's difficulty is progressive, meaning that it gets harder as the player continues.

The game's heads-up display consist of how many [[Life|lives]] [[Rayman]] has, three units of energy (four in ''[[Rayman Advance]]'') and five with a [[Super Power]] (six in ''Rayman Advance''), and how many [[Ting]]s 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 [[continue]]s depending on the version, which are represented with alarm clocks.

Line 129:

===Replays===

All levels (except [[Mr Dark's Dare]]) can be replayed an unlimited number of times, in any order. However, boss sections can only be played once; after the boss is defeated, the section will not reappear. ~~Cages~~ that have been broken do not appear during subsequent playthroughs; this means that only the cages that were missed need to be located. In some cases, backtracking is actually necessary, because certain cages are out of reach until Rayman gains a particular power. Finally, extra lives that have been collected (including from [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus levels]]) also do not reappear, making it impossible to accumulate extra lives by replaying easy levels. However, [[Ting]]s appear in every playthrough, and can be instrumental for extra life accumulation.

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.

=== Atari Jaguar ===

The Atari Jaguar version is the version with the most differences. Several levels have major changes, such as [[Eraser Plains]] and [[Mr Dark's Dare]] (renamed Mr Dark's Château), and others have had their names changed, such as [[The Swamps of Forgetfulness]] (renamed Forgotten Swamps). Other changes include [[Bzzit]] being able to shoot while [[Rayman]] is riding on him, different animations and different music and sound effects. This is also one of the few versions to include the [[Ray Breakout|Breakout mini-game]]. The intro is displayed with text and a slideshow of images. The cage locations resemble the ~~Playstation~~ and Sega Saturn versions most closely.

=== Windows PC ===

The PC version has numerous variants, with the majority of them lacking the full soundtrack and the intro. The [[cage]] and [[life]] locations have changed compared to previous versions and the first part of [[Bongo Hills]] has been remade with new assets. Voice acting has been added for [[Rayman]] and several other characters such as [[Tarayzan]]. Differential scrolling is turned off by default, though most versions allow it to be manually turned back on.

=== Gameboy Advance (titled ''[[Rayman Advance]]'') ===

The Gameboy Advance version, titled ''[[Rayman Advance]]'', is a port of the PC version retaining its cage locations. The intro is, similarly to the Atari Jaguar version, shown with text and a slideshow of images. A lot of the music has been removed and what remains is in lower quality. The first part of [[Bongo Hills]] has been completely removed. This version is known to be easier than the original due to the increased health and lives available and several minor changes made to levels to make them easier. This version also doesn't feature any auto-scrollers and [[Mr Dark's Dare]] is ~~replayable~~.
