The Desert of Dijiridoos, later revisited as the Grumbling Grottos, is the second world in Rayman Origins. It has many similarities with the Candy World from Rayman Fiesta Run and the Infinite Tower from Rayman Legends. It was later used in Rayman Legends in Back to Origins. This world is composed mainly on music and musical instruments, resembling Band Land, a world from the original Rayman game.

Description

The Desert of Dijiridoos consists of a big desert landscape. Throughout the desert are a bunch of different instruments, such as pianos.

There are birds which act like platforms in the Desert of Dijiridoos

Timed switches can be used to clear the path.
