The first world of the game is [[the Dream Forest]], a lush jungle. [[Rayman]]'s journey begins in a region known as [[Pink Plant Woods]]. On his way through these woods, he encounters [[Betilla]] for the first time in the game; she grants him the [[telescopic fist]] ability, which takes advantage of his detached hands and allows him to throw them, defeating enemies or smashing [[cage]]s. [[Rayman]] passes into [[Anguish Lagoon]], where he encounters a [[mosquito]] who is later identified in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' as [[Bzzit]]. The two fight briefly, and [[Bzzit]] begins to cry when [[Rayman]] defeats him. [[Rayman]] takes pity on [[Bzzit]] and cheers him up; they become friends. [[Bzzit]] allows [[Rayman]] to ride on his back as he flies over the otherwise impassable waters of the lagoon. [[Betilla]] appears again and gives [[Rayman]] another power: the ability to [[Hanging|hang onto ledges]], which helps him to avoid falls and lets him climb onto certain platforms. [[Rayman]] then moves on to [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], where he meets [[Tarayzan]] (a pastiche of Tarzan). [[Tarayzan]] has lost his loincloth and is hiding behind a shrub. [[Rayman]] returns it to him, and [[Tarayzan]] rewards him by giving him a [[magic seed]]. Suddenly the rain begins to flood the area, and [[Rayman]] must use the [[magic seed]] to grow [[nenuphar]]s which he can climb to escape the flood.

Next [[Rayman]] passes into [[Moskito's Nest]], where he is chased by a [[mosquito]] called [[Moskito]]. As the main boss of [[the Dream Forest]], [[Moskito]] is essentially a more powerful and unpleasant version of [[Bzzit]]. Eventually [[Rayman]] and [[Moskito]] have a climactic battle in the deepest part of the forest. After [[Rayman]] defeats him, [[Betilla]] appears to give him another power: the [[grappling fist]] ability, which enables him to swing from [[flying ring]]s and cover large distances without touching the ground.

===[[Band Land]]===
===[[Band Land]]===
The second world of the game is [[Band Land]], a landscape composed of music and musical instruments. The first region [[Rayman]] passes through is [[Bongo Hills]], an area relatively close to the ground, and with many drum platforms. Next he reaches [[Allegro Presto]], an airy location composed mainly of slippery sheet music. Here [[Betilla]] the fairy grants him the [[helicopter]] power, which allows him to hover and glide by using his hair as a [[helicopter]]. He also encounters [[Mr Sax]], a giant evil saxophone who is the boss of [[Band Land]]. Next [[Rayman]] makes his way through [[Gong Heights]], a cloudy level in the sky inhabited by meditating [[monk]]s. Finally he comes to [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], the lair of the boss he met earlier. This level plays like a combination of the previous three, with the characteristic elements of each. [[Rayman]] is chased by [[Mr Sax]], and finally does battle with him in his lair, and defeats him. [[Mr Sax]] comes to his senses and begins to dance.

Finally [[Rayman]] reaches [[Mr Stone]]'s lair and makes use of a nearby totem pole to defeat his enemy. With the totem pole's head lodged on his own, the jumbled [[Mr Stone]] reforms and begins to dance. [[Betilla]] appears in the next phase and gives [[Rayman]] his final power: the ability to [[Running|run]]. This replaces the ability to [[grimace]] (whose only purpose was scaring the [[Livingstone|tall Livingstones]]).

===[[Picture City]]===
===[[Picture City]]===
The fourth world of the game is [[Picture City]], a landscape composed of artwork and art supplies. The first level is [[Eraser Plains]], where [[Rayman]] encounters [[Space Mama]], the boss of [[Picture City]]. She battles him while wearing a Viking costume, on a stage made to look like the sea. Next [[Rayman]] passes through [[Pencil Pentathlon]], where nothing notable occurs. The final level of [[Picture City]] is [[Space Mama's Crater]], where [[Rayman]] and [[Space Mama]] have their final showdown. This time she wears a science-fiction costume while using sci-fi props as weapons, and the background is made to look like the surface of the moon. After the battle, [[Space Mama]] reforms and begins to dance (though this only happens in some versions of the game). [[Rayman]] then sees [[Mr Dark]] kidnap [[Betilla]] the Fairy.

When [[Rayman]] crosses the water, he finds himself in [[Mr Skops's Stalactites]]. Here he encounters [[Mr Skops]], a gigantic, malevolent pink scorpion with one giant claw. [[Mr Skops]] is not pleased when [[Rayman]] wakes him, and attacks while periodically retreating. [[Rayman]] chases [[Mr Skops]] to his temple lair, where the two battle until he is defeated. [[Rayman]] sees [[Betilla]] the Fairy, now trapped by [[Mr Dark]] in a tiny glass sphere; she urges him to hurry. However, [[Rayman]] cannot move on to the next and final world until he has broken each of the one hundred and two [[Electoon]] [[cage]]s scattered throughout the five previous worlds.

===[[Candy Château]]===
===[[Candy Château]]===
The sixth and final world of the game is [[Candy Château]], a landscape composed of sweets and crockery. It contains only one level: [[Mr Dark's Dare]]. First [[Rayman]] slides across hills of icing on a frying pan. Next he is chased by [[Bad Rayman]], an evil clone created by [[Mr Dark]] to shadow [[Rayman]]'s every move; [[Rayman]] dies instantly if he touches him. Next [[Rayman]] makes his way through an area populated by various types of [[clown]]s. Here [[Mr Dark]] casts various spells on him to make his passage even more challenging; first he reverses the player's left–right controls, then he forces [[Rayman]] to [[Running|run]] uncontrollably, and then he takes away [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] power, rendering him helpless.

Finally [[Rayman]] confronts [[Mr Dark]] in the central room of his château, whose walls contain stained glass windows depicting the five previous bosses. First [[Mr Dark]] toys with [[Rayman]] by hanging his [[telescopic fist]] on a rope, and snatching it away whenever [[Rayman]] attempts to retrieve it. Then [[Mr Dark]] throws fireballs at [[Rayman]], traps him between two pillars of fire and throws more fireballs at him in ways that make them increasingly difficult to avoid. [[Mr Dark]] tells [[Rayman]] that he is doomed and causes the pillars of fire to slowly move in on him, but a pair of [[Electoon]]s suddenly fly into the room, take [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] from the rope and return it to him. [[Mr Dark]] seemingly vanishes, and a strange creature composed of body parts from [[Mr Stone]] and [[Mr Skops]] appears; their corresponding windows glow. It is not clear if this is an actual mixture of the two bosses, or a transformation of [[Mr Dark]]. As the creatures are hit, a lighting effect appears. This only happens in the Sega Saturn version. When the first creature is defeated, two creatures composed of body parts from [[Bzzit]] and [[Space Mama]] appear. When these are defeated, a final creature composed of body parts from [[Bzzit]], [[Mr Sax]] and [[Space Mama]] appears, and [[Rayman]] is temporarily shrunk to make the battle even more challenging. Once [[Rayman]] defeats this creature, the game is complete. In the Sega Saturn version, the stained glass windows shatter, revealing the night sky and the two moons characteristic of [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]]. [[The Magician]] congratulates [[Rayman]] on saving the world.

The credits sequence shows the good characters going on holiday with the enemies and bosses, who are now reformed; it seems that none of them were truly evil except [[Mr Dark]], who in most versions is nowhere to be seen. At the end of the credits, a final message appears: ‘See you soon – [[Rayman]]’, hinting at the sequel, ''[[Rayman 2]]''. However, in the Atari Jaguar version, the credits end with [[Mr Dark]] flying across the screen, confirming his escape, and the ‘See you soon’ message takes on a sinister quality, promising that [[Mr Dark]] will return – though the villain has yet to resurface in the main series. After the credits, if the player attempts to replay [[Mr Dark's Dare]], a final epilogue image appears instead, showing [[Rayman]] together with all his friends; the [[Electoon]]s have been freed, [[Mr Dark]] has been defeated (for now), [[Betilla]] the Fairy has been rescued and the [[Great Protoon]] has been recovered and returned to its rightful place. The balance of [[the Glade of Dreams]] has been restored.

===Game Boy Advance (titled ''[[Rayman Advance]]'')===
The Game Boy Advance version, titled ''[[Rayman Advance]]'', is a port of the PC version retaining its [[cage]] locations. The intro is, similarly to the Atari Jaguar version, shown with text and a slideshow of images. A lot of the music has been removed and what remains is in lower quality. The first part of [[Bongo Hills]] has been completely removed. This version is known to be easier than the original due to the increased health and [[Life|lives]] available and several minor changes made to levels to make them easier. This version also doesn't feature any auto-scrollers and [[Mr Dark's Dare]] is able to be replayed.
