How it plays

How does Rayman Advance play?

Rayman explores side-scrolling stages from a 2D perspective. The main objective is to free Electoons trapped in cages while reaching the end of each level and collecting useful items.

Rayman begins with basic movement, jumping, and punching. Betilla grants additional abilities as the adventure progresses, including improved traversal options. Levels are grouped into themed regions and include secret areas, bonus stages, and boss encounters. Rescued Electoons unlock access to further portions of the world.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Rayman Advance?

Explore each stage carefully instead of rushing to the exit. Cages are often placed above the main route, behind breakable objects, or in sections that require a newly acquired ability.

Use Rayman's punch to defeat enemies from a safe distance, and learn the timing of moving platforms before committing to a jump. Revisiting earlier areas after gaining new abilities is essential for finding optional cages and bonuses.
