'''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. In the opening cutscene, the [[Ting]]s 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 [[Ting]]s and breaking any [[cage]]s that he finds along the way.

== Part 1 ==

The first phase is a straightforward level with no enemies or [[cage]]s, not unlike the first stage of [[Pink Plant Woods]] in [[Rayman 1|the original version of the game]], in which it is probably inspired by. 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 [[Ting]]s 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 [[Exit sign|level exit]] on it. However, [[Rayman]] should first drop down between the two ledges and collect the [[Ubi-Key]].  

== Part 2 ==

This part more complex and longer than the first. There are two [[cage]]s present, with one of them only being obtainable after the player has obtained [[Helicopter|the Helico power]]. There are three [[Life|lives]] to be found, as well as the first [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]].  

== Part 3 ==

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.

== Part 4 ==

The fourth part is the longest part of Spellbound Forest. There is a large, long body of water [[Rayman]] must ride a [[plum]] across, while avoiding falling red [[spiky fruit]]s and [[piranha]]s. The only enemies found here [[Hunter]]s, [[Antitoon]]s, and [[piranha]]s. There is one [[cage]] and three lives to be found, with two of the lives not being obtainable until [[Rayman]] has the [[Helicopter|the Helico power]]. This level also features a [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]].
