'''Clearleaf Forest''', also known as the '''Forest of Clear Leaves''', is a location found in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and the Game Boy Advance game ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''. In the former game it follows [[the Fairy Council]], and introduces the player to the [[Heavy Metal Fist]], the [[Lockjaw]] and the [[Shock Rocket]]. It is the first level to have a boss (the [[Master Kaag]]), and is also the first level in which [[Globox]] first discovers the infamous [[plum juice]] under the control of [[André]].

As the two reach the bottom, [[Rayman]] must defeat a gang of [[Hoodmonger]]s who guard a barrel of [[plum juice]]. After all are defeated, [[Globox]] goes to the barrel, and immediately drinks it down, per [[André]]'s demand. As he finishes, he takes [[Rayman]] to a waterfall teeming with [[piranha]]s and starts to to swim upwards with [[Rayman]] clinging onto his back. Now at the top, [[Rayman]] then leaves through a cave.

[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] land in a small area surrounded by [[mushroom]]s. Several [[Hoodlum]]s arrive by [[Hoodlum Zeppelin|Zeppelin]]s, one drinking heavily from a [[keg]] of [[plum juice]]. [[Rayman]] must destroy them to gain a [[Vortex]] can of [[Laser-Washing Powder]]; with it he must lower a [[meadowscrew]] to gain access to the higher levels of the forest, where there are a couple more remaining [[Hoodmonger]]s. After defeating one of them that has the dollar ($) sign, a [[Heavy Metal Fist]] appears, which [[Rayman]] uses to smash through a barricade to get to a waterfall-filled area. Meanwhile, [[Globox]] drinks down the [[plum juice]], inflates as a side effect, and floats away. [[Rayman]] has to advance and as he [[helicopter]]s a good distance, he then smashes a [[cage]] containing a [[Sylkin]] that gives him his first can of the [[Lockjaw]]. With it, he makes it safely to the other end of the creek, where he finds [[Globox]], still intoxicated, standing in front of a [[Hoodlum]] camp. [[Rayman]] must fight off the many [[Hoodmonger]]s and a [[Slapdash]] that guard the area before smashing down a wooden barricade. With [[Globox]] no longer intoxicated, [[Rayman]] has to stick a [[plum]] on its post to get up to a [[Hoodlum]] fortress.

[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] walk along hallways filled with crates of [[plum juice]] bottles. In the center of a circular room lies the first [[Hoodmonger Soldier]]. Defeating him rewards [[Rayman]] with his first ever [[Shock Rocket]] can of [[Laser-Washing Powder]]. This power makes his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] as a rocket. Even with [[Globox]]'s displeasure of the use of the costumes, [[Rayman]] uses the [[Shock Rocket]] to maneuver through three obstacle courses to hit three targets of himself and [[Globox]] to open three doors. Moving through the hallways, [[Rayman]] encounters a [[Hoodboom]], but has no time to defeat him as he quickly runs through a gate which closes sharply. [[Rayman]] is trapped unless he uses a [[Vortex]] and [[Lockjaw]] (dropped by two [[Hoodmonger]]s) to lower a [[meadowscrew]] and swing on a [[flying hook]]. Once he's across, he'll need to activate a [[switch]] that opens the gate so [[Globox]] can get through. A band of [[Hoodlum]]s is inside, naturally, and [[Rayman]] will have to defeat them all for the aforementioned [[Hoodboom]] to appear. He is too high up for [[Rayman]] to reach, so [[Rayman]] will need to find and kill a [[Slapdash]] to obtain another can of [[Shock Rocket]] and use it to hit the [[Hoodboom]]. After every [[Hoodlum]] is defeated, [[Globox]] drinks a barrel full of [[plum juice]] and belches out a purple [[bubble]] - [[Rayman]] can bounce onto it to help him reach the higher level of the fortress. Inside is a mass of crates; [[Rayman]] must make his way through the fortress, freeing every [[Sylkin]] he comes across. Each will give him a [[Heavy Metal Fist]] can, useful for smashing down wooden barricades with more [[Sylkin]] [[Teensie]]s hidden inside. Eventually, he will have enough cans to take him through a barricade at the far end of the fortress.

Behind where [[Rayman]] starts is a hole in the wall. If examined, [[Rayman]] falls down into a room with several [[Jewel|gems]], including a [[Jewel|green one]].
