Because of its immense power, the Great Protoon becomes the target of [[Mr Dark]]'s evil scheme in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. [[Mr Dark]] steals the Protoon from its resting place between two carven stone hands, overpowering [[Betilla the Fairy]] in order to do so. The [[Electoon]]s become scattered as a result of the Protoon's displacement, and are subsequently captured by [[Mr Dark]]'s minions and imprisoned in [[cage]]s. [[Rayman]]'s primary objectives during the game are to recover the Great Protoon and free the [[Electoon]]s. When [[Rayman]] finally defeats [[Mr Dark]] in [[Candy Château|his Château]], the game ends without showing the Great Protoon's recovery. However, an epilogue screen indicates that the Great Protoon was indeed rescued.

However, an epilogue screen indicates that the Great Protoon was indeed rescued.

In the intro sequence for most versions of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], the Great Protoon is first seen floating between two enormous carven stone hands. However, in the intro sequence for the Atari Jaguar version of the game, the Great Protoon is first shown in a grassy outdoor area surrounded by hilly terrain. It is perched atop a large round stone, upon which is carved three symbols resembling [[Rayman's symbol|the ‘O’ on Rayman's chest]]. Waves of energy can be seen radiating from the Great Protoon, and several [[Electoon]]s are visibly gravitating around it, while [[Rayman]] frolicks with more [[Electoon]]s in the foreground. It can be inferred from these two intro sequences that the Great Protoon is sometimes moved about from one location to another. After completing the game, the player can view an epilogue screen which shows that the Great Protoon has recovered. It appears to have been returned to the stone upon which it was seen in the Atari Jaguar version's intro sequence.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Great Protoon is replaced by [[the Heart of the World]], a glowing pink sphere comprised of 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s. In addition to their similar appearance, the two objects serve the same function (the provision of energy and harmony throughout the world), and the catastrophic consequences which result when they come under attack (the proliferation of freaks and hostile characters) is also the same. It has been speculated that the Great Protoon and [[the Heart of the World]] are actually the same object, only under different names. The way in which [[The Heart of the World|the Heart]] appears to be comprised of many bodies of light while the Great Protoon seemed to contain only a few may be a result of its destruction at the hands of the [[Robo-Pirate]] army and its subsequent reconstruction by the [[Teensie]]s.
