Original version

Phase 1

This area is a chasm full of giant cobwebs, and before long, Rayman is being stalked by a giant spider (). This creature can be defeated, but it's not compulsory. Rayman has to climb up the cobwebs to evade the spider, find the two cages and collect the Yellow Lums there, before dropping down the pit at a higher level.

Phase 2

Globox is being held prisoner in the area, but first, Rayman will have to defeat a red Henchman 800 (), and then flick the switch that opens the gate. Globox will then follow his limbless friend, provided that there are no pirates around. They both have to go through a passage that is blocked by laser bars, but Globox uses his Rain Dance to deactivate it. This leads to some cliff sides with gaps neither of the can cross, so Globox waters a glowing plant to make a flower appear. Rayman stands on this to cross the cap, then shoots at a wooden sparadrap which breaks a wooden pole down for Globox to walk on. Then, they come across a huge fire, which Globox gladly puts out.

Down the passage, another red Henchman 800 () appears, and Globox runs away to hide in a cubbyhole. When Rayman defeats it, he walks back to his friend to reassure him that there is no shame of being afraid of the pirates and the warships, and then wishes he has more powers. This triggers Globox's memory, and he gives Rayman a Silver Lum, which upgrades his magic fist - he can now charge up his shots which will make them more powerful.

Phase 3

Rayman and Globox come out into the open, but a warship appears, sending Globox into hiding again. Out comes a tougher red Henchman 800 (), and once it's defeated, the pair move on, shutting down laser barriers with the Rain Dance. Down that passage, where another red Henchman 800 () appears, there is a small stronghold which is being guarded by a security camera of a sort. The only thing left to use is a small bush, which Globox grows it big enough for Rayman to hide in it, and when he gets to the door, the security deactivates the door. At the exit, Globox confirms that he cannot continue adventuring with his limbless friend, and wants to see his wife, Uglette.

The Canopy in this version of the game stays fairly the same as that in previous versions, with the exception that the Teensie cage does not count towards the total number of cages in the game.

In the GBC adaptation, the Canopy directly follows the Cave of Bad Dreams, and this is where the second mask of Polokus is located.
