[[Rayman 1|The original ''Rayman'']] was released in 1995. At the beginning of the Atari Jaguar version, [[Rayman]] is seen frolicking with a group of [[Electoon]]s while they gravitate around the [[Great Protoon]], a glowing orb of energy which seems to be [[the Heart of the World]] under another name. Later, a dark and mysterious villain known as [[Mr Dark]] appears, stealing the [[Great Protoon]] and defeating [[Betilla]] the Fairy as she tries to protect it. When the [[Great Protoon]] is removed from its rightful place, [[the Glade of Dreams]] is cast into imbalance, and nightmarish creatures like [[Antitoon]]s, [[piranha]]s, [[Livingstone]]s and [[hunter]]s begin to proliferate, capturing the scattered [[Electoon]]s and imprisoning them in [[cage]]s. [[The Magician]] calls upon [[Rayman]], asking him to free all of the [[Electoon]]s, defeat [[Mr Dark]] and restore the [[Great Protoon]] to its rightful place. [[Rayman]] receives [[the Magician]]'s call while relaxing in a hammock, giving him the thumbs-up and responding ‘No problem!’ It seems that [[Rayman]] has become lazy, confident and self-assured since defeating [[Jano]]. At this time, [[Rayman]] apparently lives in a house on a beach, though his home is never fully seen (the very first level of the game, [[Pink Plant Woods]], is named the Primordial Forest in the original French edition, suggesting that this is very close to [[Rayman]]'s birthplace). He then travels through [[the valley]]'s six different lands, rescuing [[Electoon]]s and defeating powerful bosses. Along the way, [[Rayman]] meets his creator, [[Betilla]] the Fairy, for the first time; she gives him several powers to help him on his way, and is kidnapped by [[Mr Dark]] for her efforts. [[Rayman]] eventually reaches [[Mr Dark]]'s lair in the [[Candy Château]], where the villain transforms himself into monstrous hybrids of the previous five bosses. Ultimately [[Rayman]] defeats [[Mr Dark]], rescues [[Betilla]] and returns the [[Great Protoon]] to its rightful place, restoring the balance of [[the Glade of Dreams]].
