Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1): Difference between revisions

Line 13:

'''Spellbound Forest''' is the first level in [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']]. It is built to resemble [[the Dream Forest]] from the original game. It is split up into four phases.

==Pre-Level Scene==

In the game's opening cutscene, the [[Tings]] meet a sleeping [[Rayman]] and inform him that [[Mr Dark]] has imprisoned the [[Electoons]] and stolen their energy for himself, throwing the world into chaos and darkness. Rayman determines not to let Mr. Dark do this, and sets out to find him, collecting any Tings and breaking any cages that he finds along the way.

== Part 1 ==

The first phase is a straightforward level with no enemies or [[cage]]s. ~~There are two~~ [[Life|lives]] ~~to be found~~. ~~This~~ is the ~~only part~~ of the game ~~that~~ has the Ubi-Key~~, which appears right at the end~~.

The first phase is a straightforward level with no enemies or [[cage]]s, not unlike the first stage of [[Pink Plant Woods]] in the original version of the game, in which it is probably based or inspired. It is designed this way to allow the player to get to grips with Rayman's basic abilities, and the game mechanics. Rayman spawns on a grassy ledge above some water, moving forward he will find his first jump and few Tings to collect. Across the ledge, there is a vine to climb, jumping to the left from the top of this vine will find Rayman his first new [[Life|lives]]. Once that is obtained, he can continue right across two further ledges and another vine until he reaches a larger section of land with a swinging [[Plum]]. Dropping into a hole below the plum will yield another new life. Riding the plum will gain Rayman his first health upgrade, which also acts as a checkpoint in this version of the game, and lead him to two small ledges, the second of which has the level exit on it. However, Rayman should first drop down between the two ledges and collect the Ubi-Key.

== Part 2 ==

Line 24:

== Part 3 ==

The third part is one of the three levels in the game where the player must avoid rising water ~~or lava~~, in this ~~case water~~. There is one [[cage]] and one [[life]] to be found.

The third part is one of the three levels in the game where the player must avoid rising water, similar to the first stage of [[Anguish Lagoon]] in the original version of the game. A short clip will play prior to the start of this stage showing Rayman jumping out of some violent waters, warning the player of the flood about to commence in the new stage. There is one [[cage]] and one [[life]] to be found.
