Once upon a Time

Once upon a Time is the first level of Teensies In Trouble, the first world in Rayman Legends. This level was first known as "Teensies in Trouble" in all demos of the game, including the Challenges App on the Nintendo WiiU, and was one of three levels to be playable in them.

Area 1

When a new game is created, it begins directly in this level, in which Rayman, Globox and the Teensies are seen sleeping on a branch in the Snoring Tree. The Bubble Dreamer calls for Murfy to wake them up, causing them to fall off the branch and onto the ground. Once they wake up, Murfy tells them about the enemy invasion that has happened while they were asleep. When the level is revisited, this cutscene will no longer play, and the player starts on the ground at the bottom of the tree instead. A number of Livingstones stand guard this area and at some point, a one eyed, spiky vine like creature is seen, and Murfy is called over again - this time, he has to help the heroes get past this and many other obstacles. Once the heroes have gone past the creature, a blue glowing mushroom catapults them onto the outskirts of a huge castle, which they enter and, after defeating a Francky, explore.

Area 2

Rayman and Murfy enter the castle...

Inside the castle, in which much of the interior appears to be a dungeon, there are many pits of lava, spikes, and swamp water, and a number of obstacles that are held up with ropes - Murfy can cut those, as well as move some other wooden obstacles that bear giant golden handles, to help the heroes through. Green ghosts and Livingstones roam the area, though they can be defeated by the heroes without Murfy's help. Another Francky is found guarding the exit.

King Teensie room

In this room in the dungeon, there is a giant wheel which is coated in a maze of spikes, although there are hoops for the player to hold onto, and a few areas of wood without spikes. Murfy must turn this wheel while the player hangs on to these hoops, in order to lead him or her to safe ground, and once he or she has gone past the wheel, the player then has access to the King Teensie who is trapped in a winged cage.

Queen Teensie room

In this room, which is set in an underground cavern underneath the clearing, a series of Yellow Lum lines are blown in the wind towards the player, until the Queen Teensie, tied up to a pole, is blown in the wind onto the platform.

Invaded

This level was included in the demo released on August 15th, 2014 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

This level is invaded by enemies and obstacles (such as skulls with bouncy brains, knives, and a half eaten watermelon) from the Fiesta de los Muertos, most notably skeletons. It is unlocked once the players gets far enough in the world Fiesta de los Muertos.

It is divided into three sections :

This area is invaded by skeletons.

• The first section of the level is the third area of the normal level reversed. Besides this is an invaded level, the sliders are replaced by butter plat-forms, cucumbers and bouncy brains.

The giant watermelon of the second area.

• The second section is the area where the king of the normal level is located, but the twisted maze is replaced by an half-eaten watermelon.

Rayman & Barbara chased by a luchador in the third section.

• The final section is the first section of the normal level reversed. The character(s) exit the castle they entered in the normal level, and must head to a mushroom spring which will lead them to the foreground of the area. When Rayman and his friends arrive back in the forest, a green Luchador begins chasing them until he is obstructed by the Snoring tree. One notable change due to the specifities of the invasion mode is the presence of lightnings and a cloudy sky in the background.
• The three Teensies that are tied up to dynamite are found in the place where the first cage is located in the normal level, i.e. behind the Snoring Tree.
