Rayman
The protagonist, a limbless hero who uses punches, movement abilities, and agility to oppose Mr Dark.
How it plays
The game uses a side-view perspective across a series of themed worlds. Rayman explores stages, defeats enemies, rescues Electoons, collects items, and reaches the goal while managing health and hazards.
Progression is tied to abilities and world completion. New powers expand movement and combat options, while optional cages encourage players to revisit areas and search more thoroughly. The main adventure is single-player and level-based.
Plan your run
Explore each stage carefully instead of rushing to the exit. Hidden cages and collectibles often reward returning after Rayman gains a new ability.
Learn enemy patterns, use charged punches when appropriate, and preserve health before difficult platforming sections. Complete as many Electoon rescues as possible to improve overall progress.

Rayman is a 2D platform game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubi Soft Entertainment. It follows Rayman, a limbless hero who must restore balance to his world after the Great Protoon is stolen and Electoons are imprisoned. The game combines traditional side-scrolling exploration with combat, precision jumping, collectible searching, and ability-based progression. Its hand-drawn presentation, imaginative stages, and distinctive character design received strong critical attention, helping establish Rayman as a major Ubisoft property. The DOS version retains the core single-player adventure, although its presentation and input behavior can differ from console releases.
