How it plays
How does Rayman play?
Rayman explores a series of colorful 2D levels from a side-view perspective. The main objectives are to reach the goal, defeat or avoid enemies, rescue Electoons, and collect items such as Tings.
Progression depends on powers gained during the adventure, including improved jumping, helicopter movement, running, and other traversal abilities. The game includes themed worlds with multiple stages, secret areas, boss encounters, and a final confrontation with Mr Dark. Thorough exploration can unlock additional content and improve completion results.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Rayman?
Explore each stage rather than rushing to the exit. Look behind platforms and above the main route for cages, Tings, and hidden passages.
Save newly acquired abilities in memory and revisit areas that previously contained unreachable ledges or barriers. In difficult sections, prioritize safe jumps and enemy patterns over speed, and use the helicopter ability to control long falls.
