Moody Clouds

This area takes place high in the clouds and starts with the Magician running from the heroes by jumping off a ledge. He reappears shortly after, riding on a warship with a couple of Lividstones who slap their behinds mockingly at the heroes. The latter must get on the giant mosquitoes and fly alongside the warship in the background, fighting big mecha flies, small mecha flies, turrets, and helicopter bombs.

After a while, the warship disappears, but the team continues onward. They then have to deal with red, homing live missiles while the ship shows up in front of them, giving them a chance to shoot at it. It then returns to the background. The heroes enter a very large structure, and the warship continues to return to the foreground for short periods before returning to the background. A hunter will also appear on the ship to shoot red, homing live missiles at the team.

The heroes and the warship end up in a dark place with red lights, triangular yellow signs with exclamation points on them, and arrows pointing towards the exit, indicating they are somewhere dangerous. The warship closes in on a gigantic, orange sphere, much to the Magician's and the Lividstones' dismay, as they scream in fear as the ship taps the sphere, causing a large crack to form. This sphere turns out to be at the center of the huge, floating city, which explodes due to the damage to the former. Rayman and his friends end up falling and landing back in the Snoring Tree, where they go back to sleeping and snoring loudly, as they had done at the start of the game. Afterwards, the heroes pose on the photoboard, but, naturally, the Magician does not appear here to count the number of Lums were collected in the level. After that, the credits play.

Trivia

• The level's name is a reference to the phrase “shoot for the stars”.
• During an E3 2011 showcase, an alternate version of the level was displayed. In this version, a Tricky Treasure takes the place of the Magician on the warship, and at the end, the cutscene plays with a few differences: the Magician and the Lividstones are absent, the Tricky Treasure falls alongside the heroes, and they land in a theater instead of the Snoring Tree. These changes were likely only meant for that showcase, as they were scrapped in the final game. However, a Tricky Treasure does ride a warship in the Pirate's Treasure! level of the Sea of Serendipity.
