RayWizard:

A '''soccer ball''' is an object which appears in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', briefly in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' and leftover in [[Rayman Adventures]]. It has multiple uses, from its traditional use to breaking [[cage]]s.

== In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' ==

A soccer ball is seen in the minigame [[Bunnies Can't Play Soccer]], but is actually not kicked. [[Rayman]] instead kicks [[Professor Barranco]] to the goal.

{{clear}}

== In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' ==
Soccer balls appear more prominently in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. It is used in the soccer-based (or football in some countries) game [[Kung Foot]], and in various levels particularly in secret areas to break open an inaccessible [[Teensie]] [[cage]].

Tricky Treasure

2026-06-09T21:49:06Z

RayWizard: Added rayman mini apperiance

[[File:Chest-info-2.png|thumb|A Tricky Treasure.]]

'''Tricky Treasures''' are chest-like creatures that appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. They guard [[Skull Tooth|Skull Teeth]] (in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', they are replaced by [[Teensie]]s) inside their bodies, and to unlock the levels where they hide, the [[Flaming Teensy]] tells the heroes to find a certain number of [[Electoon]]s. Finding all of the Tricky Treasures is necessary to reach the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]].

All of the Tricky Treasures are red, with one single eye (in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', the eye does not appear) and golden ornamental snake-like designs around their bodies (most notably, a pair of horns). They have in the frontal part of their bodies a small golden picture of two snakes tied. Even when they don't appear to move much with their small legs, they can run very fast.

==List of Tricky Treasure levels==
There are a total of 10 Tricky Treasures to break open in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', lowered to 5 in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. At the start of each Tricky Treasure level, when the heroes come close to a Tricky Treasure, it starts imagining what's going to happen (a doodle of [[Rayman]] punching the doodle of a chest appears), and fearfully runs away. The heroes must run after it to finally break it at the end of the path and claim the reward inside. The Tricky Treasure levels feature some of the most challenging levels in the game, as the heroes must run through almost random obstacles, such as dangerous spiky elements, strong winds, collapsing platforms, enemies and pits. With the exception of the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]], every world has a Tricky Treasure level.

*[[Can't Catch Me!]]

*[[Pirate's Treasure!]]
*[[Tricky Treasure Temple]]
*[[Playing in the Shade]]
*[[Tuned-Up Treasure]]

'''''Rayman Origins''''' is a 2D sidescroller platform game, and the fourth major title in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. Despite its title, it is not a prequel, but a sequel to the first three [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]]. It was announced by [[Ubisoft]] at E3 2010, and is the first major [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]] since the creation of [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the ''Raving Rabbids'' series]]. It also marks the return of ''[[Rayman]]'' creator [[Michel Ancel]] to the series; he had not worked on a [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' title]] since ''[[Rayman 2]]'' in 1999. ''Rayman Origins'' is the first game in the main series to feature co-operative platforming gameplay, allowing for up to four players at once. The game was released on November 15, 2011 in North America, and on November 24, 2011 in Europe for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

In February 2012, a PlayStation Vita version was released, with new features such as a [[Ghost Mode]] and the use of the touch screen. This version also features exclusive collectible items called [[Relic]]s; these unlock two large mosaic puzzles in [[the Snoring Tree]], revealing events from the pasts of [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]]. A Microsoft Windows version was released on March 29, 2012; a 3DS version was released in June 2012.

A spin-off title for mobiles which is based off this game's artstyle, was released for Android and iOS in September 2012, titled ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]''.

In April 2012, [[Ubisoft]] announced that a direct sequel to the game was being developed, under the title ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', which was released in September 2013.

==Story==
{{Quote|text=[[The Glade of Dreams]] is up in arms again! This idyllic world, where there is usually little more to do than eat, sleep, play (and enjoy a friendly fray or two among friends), is up to its eyeballs in trouble.

It seems [[Rayman]] and his heroic gang of hilarious misfits have kicked off a war with just a little snoring! Their [[Livid Dead|nightmarish neighbors]] from the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] don't seem to share the same taste in music and have come to crash the party!

Never ones to shy away from a challenge, [[Rayman]] and his friends are more than happy to knock these nasty killjoys back to oblivion, especially since it involves saving [[nymph]]s, making mischief, and earning fantastic new powers to make even more mischief. And this won't be the first time!

As it turns out, the fun-loving Creator of the Glade, known as [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], is a highly sensitive being whose every mood impacts the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]] for good or bad... [[Rayman]] has had to beat back the creatures of [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]’s nightmares before, and that’s what he, [[Globox]], and the crafty [[Teensie|Teensy]] casters are going to do it again before the fabric of the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]] falls to pieces and their entire world fades like a bad dream.|sign=Manual|source=''Rayman Origins''}}

===[[The Snoring Tree]]===
At the beginning of the game, [[Rayman]] and his friends – [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s – are sleeping at [[the Snoring Tree]]. With them is the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], the jovial god who created their world, the [[Glade of Dreams]]. A nearby microphone, disguised as a flower, picks up the sound of the heroes' snoring, amplifying it and transmitting it to the subterranean [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]. The [[Livid Dead|undead beings]] who live there, infuriated by this incessant snoring, launch an invasion on the [[Glade of Dreams]], ambushing and capturing [[Rayman]] and his friends. When they escape, they find that the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] has gone quite mad. The [[Livid Dead]] have been joined in their invasion by [[:Category:Enemies from Rayman Origins|hundreds of other enemies]], who have captured and imprisoned the [[Electoon]]s – small, pink energy creatures that hold the world together. Now the [[Glade of Dreams]] has begun to disintegrate. In order to heal the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s mind and restore harmony and balance to the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]], the heroes must free the [[Electoon]]s from [[cage]]s hidden across the world – if they fail, their universe will vanish like a bad dream.

Energy creatures called [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] are scattered throughout every level in the game; at the end of each level, the heroes give the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] they have collected to [[the Magician]], a friendly character who counts them in a large test tube. In exchange for a certain number of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], [[the Magician]] gives the heroes [[Electoon]]s. He also makes occasional appearances at the beginning of a level, to give the heroes advice and instructions. The hub from which the player can access levels and choose characters is [[the Snoring Tree]]. As the player frees more [[Electoon]]s, more characters become available, but all are variations of [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s.

===[[Jibberish Jungle]]===
The first stop for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s is the [[Jibberish Jungle]], a lush forest filled with exotic foliage and enemies such as [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and [[Antitoon|Darktoons]]. Eventually, they find [[Betilla]] the Fairy, the [[nymph]] who created [[Rayman]] long ago, and who has now been captured by the invaders. Once freed, she gives them the power to slap. When enough [[Electoon]]s have been freed, [[Betilla]] informs the heroes that they have enough to reach the next world. The [[Electoon]]s band together to form a bridge through the sky. On the other side, the heroes find friendly [[giant mosquito]]es who fly them to the game's second environment. Along the way, the they must fight off an attack from the [[Boss Bird]], a gigantic [[bird]] which watches over the passage to the next land.

</gallery>

===[[Desert of Dijiridoos]]===
Eventually the [[giant mosquito]]es take the heroes to the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], a bleak, scorched landscape, partially composed of musical instruments, and inhabited mainly by vicious [[bird]]s. Here they rescue a [[nymph]] named [[Holly Luya]] – the first sister of [[Betilla]] the Fairy. She gives them the power to [[Helicopter|hover]]. Again, the heroes must free enough [[Electoon]]s to create a sky bridge leading to a [[giant mosquito]] level, and again the [[giant mosquito]]es take them to the next area.

<gallery widths="320px" heights="180px">

===[[Gourmand Land]]===
The heroes arrive in the [[Gourmand Land]], a food-themed world. Its sharply-contrasting environments include icy cocktail and fiery kitchen landscapes. These are populated by dangerous [[Baby Dragon Chef]]s and [[Baby Dragon Waiter|Waiters]]. After they free the third of the [[nymph]] sisters, [[Edith Up]], she gives them the ability to use [[funnel]]s to change their size. Then they must cross a bridge made of freed [[Electoon]]s and ride the [[giant mosquito]]es to the next world. Along the way, they must fight off the [[Murray|Giant Eel]], a gigantic flying [[eel]] whose purpose is to stop anyone from entering the next land.

===[[Sea of Serendipity]]===
This time they are taken to the [[Sea of Serendipity]], an idyllic marine location. On the surface, they find a village that has been build on stilts. Down below, the ocean is teeming with strange [[fish]] and other [[:Category:Aquatic creatures|aquatic creatures]]. In this world, the [[nymph]] sister they meet is [[Annetta Fish]], who gives them the ability to dive underwater. After they cross another [[Electoon]] bridge, they are taken by the [[giant mosquito]]es to the next world.

<gallery widths="320px" heights="180px">
RaymanOriginsGamesCon-8.jpg|[[Sea of Serendipity]].
</gallery>

===[[Mystical Pique]]===
This mountainous landscape is the [[Mystical Pique]]. On the surface, the weather ranges from mild to snowy. However, the mountain contains many ancient temples, where [[fakir]]s meditate and worship the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]. Common enemies here include [[Darkroot]]s and [[Stone man|Stone men]]. Throughout this world, the characters notice that strange pieces of machinery have been inexplicably falling from the sky. The heroes rescue the local [[nymph]] sister, [[Helena Handbasket]], who gives them the power to [[Wall run|run on walls]]. However, the [[Electoon]] bridge that follows does not take the heroes to a [[giant mosquito]] level. It takes them to the lair of the [[Golem]], a gigantic stone monster whom they must defeat in order to progress.

When the heroes reach the top of the mountain, they find the five [[nymph]]s gathered round the [[Dreamer's Door]], a circular stone portal. They can use this to travel to the source of the mysterious machinery which has been falling from the dark, stormy clouds that have filled the sky. [[Helena Handbasket]] thanks the heroes for saving her sisters, but informs them that the [[Four Kings]] who rule the four lands of the [[Glade of Dreams]] have succumbed to the nightmares that are infecting the world, growing into monstrous and uncontrollable versions of themselves. Since the [[Four Kings]]' magical assistance is required to open the [[Dreamer's Door]], the heroes must find them and defeat them, restoring them to their original benevolent states.

===The [[Four Kings]]===
New areas which extend the first four worlds now become available. [[Jibberish Jungle|Ticklish Temples]] is an extension of [[Jibberish Jungle]], [[Desert of Dijiridoos|Grumbling Grottos]] is an extension of the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], [[Gourmand Land|Luscious Lakes]] is an extension of [[Gourmand Land]], and [[Sea of Serendipity|Angsty Abyss]] is an extension of the [[Sea of Serendipity]]. The four extensions approach the four original worlds in length, but most extensions are slightly shorter. The game had been linear prior to this point, but the heroes can play through these four new worlds in any order they choose. At the end of each world is a boss battle against one of the [[Four Kings]]. The king of [[Jibberish Jungle|Ticklish Temples]] is [[Carnivora]], a monstrous [[Daisy]]. The king of [[Desert of Dijiridoos|Grumbling Grottos]] is a gigantic [[Mocking Bird]]. The king of [[Gourmand Land|Luscious Lakes]] is [[El Stomacho]], a gigantic [[dragon]]; he swallows the heroes whole, and they must defeat him from the inside. The king of the [[Sea of Serendipity|Angsty Abyss]] is [[Creveton]], an aquatic [[dragon]], who reverts to a prawn when defeated. Once the [[Four Kings]] have been restored, the [[nymph]]s channel their magic into the [[Dreamer's Door]], allowing the heroes to travel through it and reach the source of the mysterious machinery.

===[[Moody Clouds]]===
The heroes find themselves standing amidst the [[Moody Clouds]] – a dark, electrified storm. They find [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] nearby, but he does not offer them any advice, instead telling them that they are going the wrong way, and urging them to turn back. The heroes press on with the aid of their [[giant mosquito]] friends, and find what lies at the heart of the storm: a sprawling flying city with retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics. This vast, dangerous city is inhabited by [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|Robots]] which are almost immune to the heroes' attacks, as well as mechanical replicas of previously-enountered enemies such as [[Fly|flies]] and [[spiky fish]]es. Along the way, the heroes often find helpless [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], packed into glass containers and apparently being used to power the city and its mechanical inhabitants.

Eventually the heroes stumble into the room which lies at the heart of the [[Moody Clouds]], only to find their old friend, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]], working the controls. They discover that he is the one who built this city and its army of [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|Robots]]. According to an [[Rayman Origins (early production)#Unused script|early script]], [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had grown frustrated with the decadent and lazy [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], who had consistently failed to protect the people of the [[Glade of Dreams]] from his own nightmares. However, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had also grown to admire [[Mr Dark]], the arch-nemesis of [[Rayman]] and the villain of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]; posters of [[Mr Dark]], with '♥ Mister D', can be seen on the walls of [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s office. In order to start a war between [[Rayman]] and the [[Livid Dead]], [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] had hidden a microphone in [[the Snoring Tree]]. However, this war, and the little plot that the game has, had been nothing more than a distraction tactic; [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s real goal was to construct a mechanical army with which he could conquer the [[Glade of Dreams]], overthrow the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], and impose a new order based on discipline and reason.

Now that his scheme has been discovered, [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] pulls a lever, causing the heroes to fall into a room where they must fight [[Mecha Carnivora|mechanical]] [[Mecha Mockingbird|replicas]] of [[Carnivora]] and the [[Mocking Bird]] bosses. Once these are defeated, they return to [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s office. He distracts them with a disco number before making his escape. As the heroes chase [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] across the outside of the [[Moody Clouds]], it becomes apparent that his city is crumbling. When he boards a flying [[warship]] in another attempt to escape, the heroes chase him through the sky with the aid of the [[giant mosquito]]es. Eventually [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]]'s [[warship]] crashes into some kind of gigantic reactor core that seems to be powering the city. The collision causes a gigantic explosion, blowing the [[Moody Clouds]] to pieces. The heroes land on [[the Snoring Tree]], in exactly the same positions they occupied at the beginning of the game, and resume their snoring. The scene fades to black and the credits roll; the players can run about in front of the credits for their duration.

===[[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]===
The game features an optional final world: the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]. The entrance to this land is located in [[the Snoring Tree]], but it is guarded by [[Mister Death]], a skeletal figure with no teeth. He will only let the heroes pass if they bring him ten shiny red [[Skull Tooth|Skull Teeth]]. In order to get these, the heroes must complete the [[Tricky Treasure]] chases: ten challenging levels focused on speed and momentum rather than exploration and combat. When [[Mister Death]] has received all ten [[Skull Tooth|Skull Teeth]], he allows the heroes to pass into the subterranean underworld that is the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]. The most difficult level of the game, this area is populated by the zombie-like [[Livid Dead]]. Although they were no more than pawns in [[the Magician]]'s plan, they are still dangerous enemies. At the end of this world, the heroes encounter [[Big Mama]], a monstrous, pink, squid-like creature. When they defeat her, she reverts into a [[nymph]], thanks the heroes for saving her, and winks. The game ends and the credits roll once more, but this time the players can climb onto the credits themselves as they scross upwards, and either use them as platforms or smash them with their attacks.

==Development==
[[File:Rayman-origins-propeller.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Rayman]] using his [[helicopter]] hair as a [[propeller]]. This was [[Rayman Origins (early production)|scrapped]] from the game.]]

{{Main|Rayman Origins (early production)}}

The development of ''Rayman Origins'' began in late 2008 approximately. For the first year, a small team consisting of approximately six developers worked on the game. At this early stage, the developers drew inspiration from the contemporary platform games ''LittleBigPlanet'' and ''New Super Mario Bros Wii''. After the first year, development shifted to [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]], where it was completed by a larger team of over one hundred developers.

Initially, it was announced that ''Rayman Origins'' would be an episodic release, and that the first episode would be released in late 2010. This approach was eventually scrapped after a delay: the game would instead be given a retail release in late 2011, in order that it might be a 'real sequel', in the words of [[Michel Ancel|Ancel]].

The first trailer for ''Rayman Origins'' shows [[Rayman]] being created by [[Betilla]] the Fairy, whose narration seemed to imply that the game would be a prequel with a two-player co-operative campaign that would tell the story of how [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] matured from buffoons to heroes. However, this approach was ultimately discarded: the final version of the game is a sequel, set after ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and features many references to the events of the previous games made in the past tense. The titular ''Origins'' refers instead to the game's revelations regarding the origins of [[Rayman]] and several other characters, and also to the design philosophy of returning the series to its roots. The characters' sillier behaviour is not a sign of immaturity, but is intended to give the game a more light-hearted feel and help it to appeal to a wider audience.

Shortly after ''Rayman Origins'' was first announced, footage showing a demonstration of its mechanics appeared. This featured a different health system, similar to that of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], with yellow and red bubbles to indicate the player's health.

A world composed entirely of artwork and art supplies, based on [[Picture City]] from [[Rayman 1|the original game]], was planned for inclusion but abandoned during the development of the game. It would have featured references to art styles such as pop art and pixel art.

[[Mr Dark]] was originally meant to return in ''Rayman Origins'',<ref>''Jeux Vidéo Magazine'', Exclusif Rayman Origins, [[:File:Jeux video page 47.jpg]]</ref><ref>raymanorigins.uk.ubi.com, Characters, http://web.archive.org/web/20111112121327/http://raymanorigins.uk.ubi.com/#characters-4</ref><ref>psprices.com, Rayman Origins Mr. Dark Avatar, https://psprices.com/region-us/game/269728/rayman-origins-mr-dark-avatar</ref><ref>PS Deals, Rayman® Origins Mr. Dark Avatar, https://psdeals.net/us-store/game/717237/rayman-origins-mr-dark-avatar-</ref> but he was scrapped from the final game and replaced with [[the Magician]], for which the developers reused his new appearance as a [[Teensie]], with only small modifications such as shortening his hair and removing the swirl on his nose.

A text file, or 'script', was discovered in the files of the game's [[List of Rayman demos|demo]]. It contains a scrapped plot which greatly expands upon the background and motivations of [[the Magician]]; in the final game, his actions are mostly unexplained.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Crazy Bouncing 13.jpg|320px|thumb|right|The players must break open [[Electoon]] [[cage]]s during the adventure, just like in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].]]

The game features local four-player co-operative play, with the players controlling [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and two [[Teensie]]s; however, it is still possible to play through the game in single-player mode.

Much of the gameplay can be reminiscent to that of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], in that the aim is to find [[cage]]s and rescue the [[Electoon]]s that are imprisoned inside them. Unlike [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] though, the [[cage]]s are being guarded by several enemies that collectively use a forcefield to protect the [[cage]] (this can be reminiscent of [[Hoodoo]]s, a [[Hoodlum]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that uses a similar technique to protect other [[Hoodlum]]s); the team must defeat every single enemy that uses the forcefield, then the [[cage]] can be destroyed. The [[cage]] can only be damaged on the side which has a green padlock. Most of the [[cage]]s are hidden away in secret passages, so once the [[Electoon]]s are free, they will create a portal which leads to the outside of these passages. Each level contains a [[Cage|medallion]] that shows how many [[Electoon]] challenges the players completed, such as break a single [[cage]], collect a specific amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] or beat the clock whilst the level has been completed. In every level there are hidden [[cage]]s ranging from 1 to 3.

[[Lum]]s, which first appeared in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', are once again collectible items in the game. However, [[Lum (UbiArt games)|the Lums in ''Origins'']] are somewhat different. They don't appear in a specific amount the player has to collect (like in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where the player had to collect 50 in almost every level) but rather in different amount in every single level. The player can obtain them by either find them floating around, defeating enemies, finding them inside [[Bulb-O-Lums|bulb-o-lums]] or bushes, or by collecting [[Skull Coin]]s. By collecting a certain amount, [[the Magician]] exchanges them to [[Electoon]]s at the end of each level. These requirements are easier than the [[Lum Medal]] requirements, which are harder to obtain, but collecting any of them does nothing. There are 51 of them in total.

Unlike most other games in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], the players are very vulnerable to enemy attacks, and one touch can cause death. Throughout the game, bottles containing a [[heart]] are found, and should a player break one, the [[heart]] inside will act as a shield until an enemy attacks, after which the [[heart]] will break. If every player in the game has a [[heart]] and they collect another one, they will get [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] for it too. In multiplayer mode, if one player dies, they can float around and come back to life if they come to close enough contact with a surviving player. If all of the players die, then they will return to a previous checkpoint, normally a [[Darkblocker]] where the player had go through before, or the last place where the player broke a [[cage]].

A time trial mode exists within 31 levels of the game, which the players can unlock by completing those levels for the first time. They will find a floating clock at the start of the level. If they hit it, they will activate time trial mode, and they can race to get [[Electoon]]s or [[Speed trophy|speed trophies]]. The [[Electoon]] requirements are easy, but the [[Speed trophy|trophy]] requires the player to run through the level. Obtaining [[Speed trophy|speed trophies]] awards the player Xbox 360 achievements / PlayStation 3 trophies.

At the halfway point in the game, the heroes can first acquire the [[Flying Punch]], a rare item that increases the power of their attacks, and is usually well hidden.

Contact to any body of water do not cause instant death unlike previous [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]], though creatures that lurk in some of them can catch a player and kill them then.

At certain points, the players will come across [[Betilla]] the Fairy and her sisters, each of whom is imprisoned inside the mouth of a [[Antitoon|Darktoon]]. When one is encountered, the player must chase the [[Antitoon|Darktoon]] and free the [[nymph]] inside. Once she is free, she gives [[Rayman]] and his friends a new power.

The players will also encounter runaway [[Tricky Treasure]]s, which contain [[Skull Tooth|skull teeth]], required to access to the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]], a bonus level.

==Game records==
{{Main|List of Rayman records#Rayman Origins|List of Rayman records}}

''Rayman Origins'' saves the total amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] and the record time for each level.

==Levels==
[[File:Cadre droite.png|thumb|right|320px|The original levels expand when the [[Four Kings]] are needed to be saved.]]

While featuring numerous original environments, ''Rayman Origins'' is the first game in [[Rayman (series)|the series]] to revisit locations explored in previous games. The game is divided into three phases. In the first phase, the player makes their way through five worlds – the [[Jibberish Jungle]], the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], the [[Gourmand Land]], the [[Sea of Serendipity]], and [[Mystical Pique]]– in a pre-set order. Each world starts with the player giving chase to a captured [[nymph]], which when freed results in the characters gaining new powers, such as the ability to dive underwater or change their size. Once the first phase is complete, the second phase can be accessed: Another four new worlds become available, each linked to one of the previous four worlds, keeping true to the theme, and this time the player can play them in any order they want. When this phase is complete, the player may access [[Moody Clouds]], where the second to last final boss and the game's ending await. Collecting all 10 [[Skull tooth|skull teeth]] will unlock the fourth and final phase: the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] which is both a single level and a whole new world. Each world is divided into many levels; there are a total of sixty-six levels in the game.

Descriptions of the first five worlds follow:

*[[Jibberish Jungle]] – A jungle-themed world where the characters unlock the power to attack. The enemies are comprised mostly of [[Livingstone|Lividstones]], [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] and [[hunter]]s in some levels. Many aspects of the world resemble elements from [[the Dream Forest]], one of the worlds from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. The boss is [[Carnivora]], a giant red [[plant]].

*[[Desert of Dijiridoos]] – A music-themed world where the characters unlock the ability to [[Helicopter|glide]]. The heroes must use the [[Helicopter|glide]] power in select areas where it is windy. The world is composed mainly on music and musical instruments, partially resembling [[Band Land]], a location which has not been seen since [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. The boss is the [[Mocking Bird]], a giant yellow [[bird]].

*[[Gourmand Land]] – A food world where the characters unlock the ability to shrink. While the surface of the [[Gourmand Land]] appears as an icy landscape featuring cocktail elements such as giant orange slices (which may have been inspired by the Glacier Cocktail level from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''), its underground part turns out to be a surreal environment made of food and cooking materials, which aesthetic is inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. This land is home to [[Baby Dragon Chef]]s – small, red, reptilian enemies who attack the heroes with their forks. The world has a few elements that represent one of the worlds from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Candy Château]]. Similar to the [[Organic Cave]] from [[Rayman 4 (2005 cancelled prototype)|the cancelled ''Rayman 4'']], a level takes place within the belly of [[El Stomacho]], a gigantic dragon, in which the players much avoid flaming walls of heartburn.

*[[Sea of Serendipity]] – A sea world where the characters unlock the ability to [[Swimming|dive]] underwater. They encounter singing [[fish]], [[tentacle claw]]s in dark caverns, different types of [[jellyfish]] and other underwater life. Above the surface of the ocean, a tribe of [[Globox's species]] lives in a village supported on stilts. The boss is [[Creveton]], a giant prawn.

*[[Mystical Pique]] – A mountain world where the characters unlock the ability to [[Wall run|run up walls]]. The mountain is dotted with small buildings, with falling wooden debris scattered throughout. [[Fakir]]s dwell inside of caves and allow the team to swing on their beards to avoid spikes. The world is comparable to one of the worlds from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Blue Mountains]]. The boss is the [[Golem]], a gigantic statue of living rock.

*[[Moody Clouds]] – A colossal mechanical factory which can only be accessed upon defeating the [[Four Kings]]. It is set in the sky, above the [[Mystical Pique]], and the heroes must fight [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|Robots]], as well as dodge spinning razor [[blade]]s and electricity. There's no real final boss, but the team battles against a [[warship]], controlled by [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and [[the Magician]].

And the optional final world:

*[[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] – A level with a strong resemblance to both [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and the [[Tomb of the Ancients]] from ''[[Rayman 2]]''. This is where the undead live; the antics of the protagonists annoy the villains, setting the events of the game in motion. It is located in the undergrounds of [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the location of the same name]] visited by [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] involves jumping across falling rocks, dodging fire, [[Tulips|carnivorous plants]], and riding a skeleton, similar to the [[flute snake]]s from the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]]. [[Big Mama]] is the level's boss; her true form is a [[nymph]], named [[Big Mama|Voodoo Mamma]].

==Soundtrack==
[[File:Rayman Origins Original Soundtrack.png|thumb|right|250px|The [[Rayman Origins: Original Soundtrack|original soundtrack]] of ''Rayman Origins''.]]

{{Main|Rayman Origins: Original Soundtrack}}

The majority of the game's score was written by French composer [[Christophe Héral]], who had previously worked with [[Michel Ancel]] and [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]] on the 2003 videogame ''[[Beyond Good & Evil]]''. As a result of scheduling problems, Héral had only three months to compose the soundtrack, so another composer, Billy Martin, was hired to complete Héral's work. The score was recorded by the Star Pop Orchestra, at the Davout Studios in Paris; this may be a first for [[Rayman (series)|the series]], as the previous games' music seems to have been mainly synthesised. The game features interactive sound design; the player characters' actions within the game create diegetic musical sounds which blend with the game's score. ''Rayman Origins'' is the first game in [[Rayman (series)|the series]] whose soundtrack has been officially released, the second being ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and the third being ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]''.

==Collector's Edition==
[[File:FileRaymanOrigins-Collector'sEdition-PS3-FinalDesign-EN.jpg|320px|thumb|right|The Collector's Edition for the PlayStation 3.]]

In August 2011, a number of online department stores in Europe revealed a collector's edition for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 versions of the game, which contains a 50-page [[The Art of Rayman Origins|art book]], a CD of the game's soundtrack and a 3D cardboard pop-up display. The Collector's Edition was only available in Europe and Australia.

In 2012, a PC collector's edition was released exclusively in Russia. That version lacked the soundtrack and the 3D display, but included a sticker page and an exclusive magnet. The art book in the Russian edition is paperback and not hardcover, and most of the text in it has been translated to Russian.

==Trophies/achievements==
{{Main|List of achievements in Rayman Origins}}

Throughout the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, achievements are given for performing certain actions, such as rescuing each [[nymph]], collecting a certain number of [[Speed trophy|speed trophies]], etc. There are 37 achievements in total (for PlayStation 3, while in Xbox 360 it is 36), including one that is hidden. The game is the first in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] to have PlayStation 3 trophies, though the second to have Xbox 360 achievements (the first being the Xbox 360 version of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''). The PlayStation Vita version has 39 trophies: the two added are named "[[Clear Sighted]]" and "[[Eagle Eyed]]", while another trophy, "[[Pop! Pop! BOOM!]]", was replaced by "[[Grim Reaper (trophy)|Grim Reaper]]" and "[[Bubble Wrap Maniac!]]", which rely on the exclusive features of the PlayStation Vita, such as tapping the screen. "[[Hover Happy!]]" gives the player a bronze trophy instead of a silver trophy in this version.

==Nintendo 3DS version==
The Nintendo 3DS port of the game has many differences, while all other versions are relatively similar. The majority of the changes were made in order to make the game easier. These include changes to the level design (usually the removal of existing enemies or obstacles), having [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] be easier to collect (including [[Skull Coin]]s being worth 40 [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] instead of 25), making the times for [[Speed trophy|speed trophies]] easier, and even removing the level [[Get Away!]] entirely. This version is also the only version with an in-game achievement system, mimicking that available on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox 360. The player also has a profile, showing their play time and collected items, which can be shared using StreetPass. The bottom screen is used to show the progress of the current level, also indicating the location of earned [[cage]]s and sometimes [[Skull Coin]]s. This version also uses the early textures for the [[helicopter bomb]]s.

This version also has several bugs and glitches not present in other versions. Most notably the animations run in an inconsistent speed, making the game appear to be lagging. The framerate is also limited to 30 frames per second, while all other versions run at 60 frames per second. Some sound effects will also loop when they are not supposed to.

In [[the Snoring Tree]] all of the [[Teensie]] characters have been removed as playable characters. Because of this, unlock criterions were changed, such as [[Raybox]] now requiring 50 [[Electoon]]s instead of 5.

== ''Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition'' ==
Following leaks regarding a potential new title, ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'', it was revealed that another project, ''Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition'', was also planned to be announced alongside it. According to a developer leak, this remastered version is slated for release on next-generation consoles. On May 29, 2026, the game briefly appeared on the Xbox Store with a placeholder price of $2,000.<ref>Xbox.com (via archive.org), ''Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition'', https://web.archive.org/web/20260529211101/https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/rayman-origins-enhanced-edition/9PHH9TN3PSCG/</ref> Although the page was taken down approximately 45 minutes later, it featured the game's official box art, a product description, and several screenshots showcasing new content.

According to the store description, the game runs in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second and introduces various quality-of-life updates. Notably, it lists 60 collectible [[relic]]s—a feature originally exclusive to the PlayStation Vita version of the game. Curiously, the original Vita version actually contained 91 relics, which is 31 more than the amount advertised in this new description.

The leaked screenshots also revealed several new gameplay elements. Two images showcase new [[heart]] variants: a golden heart similar to the one in ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', and another encased in ice. Another screenshot depicts [[Murfy]] acting as a controllable helper, mirroring his role in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Finally, a new [[The Photographer#The photoboards|photoboard]] design is shown, featuring [[Mr Dark]], [[Raymesis]], and a background inspired by the [[Mr Dark's Dare|final boss fight]] of the [[Rayman 1|original game]].

==Reception==
[[File:Christophe Villez Rayman Origins BAFTA.JPG|thumb|right|320px|Christophe Villez collects the Artistic Achievement BAFTA for ''Rayman Origins''.]]

''Rayman Origins'' was released to critical acclaim. On the review aggregator Metacritic, the game has achieved scores of 87 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions and 92 for the Wii version.<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/search/all/rayman+origins/results ''Rayman Origins'' reviews on Metacritic]</ref> On GameRankings, these same versions received scores of 88.34%, 87.85% and 92.00% respectively.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?search=rayman+origins&numrev=3&site= ''Rayman Origins'' reviews on GameRankings]</ref>

Reviewers praised ''Rayman Origins'' for its vibrant and detailed cartoon graphics, as well as its fittingly whimsical soundtrack. The gameplay was considered well-balanced, offering both an accessible experience for new players and a satisfying challenge for experienced ones. The decision to add co-operative multiplayer to the series was well-received. Criticism focused on the lack of a clear storyline in the game, and the chaotic nature of the gameplay when three or four people are playing simultaneously.

The game was initially thought to have been a commercial failure, as it sold an underwhelming 50,000 copies in the first month following its November 2011 release and this is mostly due for the game being release the same month as ''The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword'' and ''Skyrim''. However, sales later increased considerably, and in February 2012, [[Ubisoft]] announced that the game had already become profitable, and had the capacity to become a long-term seller for the company.<ref>Joystiq, ''Rayman Origins is actually profitable for Ubisoft'', http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/15/rayman-origins-is-actually-profitable-for-ubisoft/</ref>

On 16 March 2012, ''Rayman Origins'' won the Artistic Achievement award at the 8th British Academy Video Games Awards. The nominees it defeated in this category were ''Batman: Arkham City'', ''L.A. Noire'', ''LitteBigPlanet 2'', ''The Elder Scrolls V – Skyrim'' and ''Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception''.<ref>GAME British Academy Video Games Awards, http://www.bafta.org/games/awards/</ref>

Lum King

2026-06-04T18:40:36Z

RayWizard: /* In Brawlhalla */

[[File:bubble lumking.png|200px|right|thumb|A Lum King, as seen in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'']]

'''Lum Kings''', sometimes called '''Prince Lums''', are big [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] wearing crowns that appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''.

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==
In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', they can be seen flying and sleeping like normal [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], but unlike them, Lum Kings are usually seen moving their arms rhythmically. When awakened, Lum Kings add 5 regular [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] to the score of the player who took them. They also play a dance, in which all of the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] in the area start dancing and singing, and turn red for a short period. These red [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] award the player double to what they normally do. When the song ends, the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] turn yellow again, and go back to their sleep. The song will always end if the player goes through a [[Darkblocker]]. This song, albeit slightly modified to remove the vocals and add a new ending verse, also plays on the game’s main menu, in [[Electoon]] bridge levels, and after freeing the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] in the beginning of the game. Sometimes, Lum Kings are caught in [[bubble]]s, which are hidden in small areas that the player must find in order to turn all of the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] red. Lum Kings are usually found next to big groups of regular [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] that sometimes also have to be found in hidden [[bubble]]s. It is unknown if Lum Kings really rule over the regular [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] and have their kingdoms, as there is a big amount of Lum Kings in the [[Glade of Dreams]], much like the [[Grand Minimus]].

==In ''[[Rayman Legends]]''==
While Lum Kings are not found in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', they exist in the game files and give 5 [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] each. The song that plays when collecting one also plays at the end of [[A Cloud of Darkness!]], the final non-music level in the game, as well as the [[Creature]]s gallery.

==In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''==
In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', they appear and behave similarly to ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', although they are now purple and turn all other [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] purple rather than red.

==In ''[[Brawlhalla]]''==
{{Quote|text=This one collects YOU!|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Brawlhalla]]''}}

The Lum King appears as a sidekick in the fighting game ''[[Brawlhalla]]''. It was introduced in patch 3.32 and can be purchased at 80 Mammoth Coins to be useable in online matchmaking.

Rayman Legends Retold

2026-06-04T18:22:34Z

RayWizard: /* Game editions */ I meant now 😅

{{Rewrite-expand}}
{{Game

| image = [[File:Rayman Legends Retold Logo.jpeg|File|250px|center]]
| published by = [[Ubisoft]]
| developed by = [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]]

| platforms = PlayStation 5 Nintendo Switch 2 Xbox Series X/S PC
| game engine = [[Snowdrop]]
}}

'''''Rayman Legends Retold''''' is an upcoming 3D/2D action-platformer developed by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]] and published by [[Ubisoft]]. Officially revealed during a Sony State of Play presentation, the game is scheduled for release on the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 1, 2026.<ref name="official_page">PlayStation.Blog, ''Rayman Legends Retold out October 1 on PS5'', https://blog.playstation.com/2026/06/02/rayman-legends-retold-out-october-1-on-ps5/</ref> The game will have a retail price of $39.99.

Developed using the [[Snowdrop]] engine, the game serves as a bold 3D reimagining of the original ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Brand Art Director Guillaume Arvieu described the game's style as "a bridge between the visual richness and dramatization of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3|3]]'', and the efficiency and clarity of the side-scrolling gameplay of ''[[Rayman Legends]]''."<ref name="official_page" /> According to Brand Director Guillaume Cerda, the development team utilized Snowdrop to deliver a more expressive Rayman experience that fully takes advantage of the PS5's capabilities, while Brand Producer Loïc Gounon stated the game preserves what fans love while expanding [[Rayman]]'s lore and world logic.<ref name="official_page" />

Furthermore, the development of the sequel to ''[[Rayman 3]]'' will depend on the sales of this remake.<ref>https://www.thegamer.com/rayman-4-reportedly-depends-on-legends-retold-sales-success/</ref>

== Story ==
The game features a revamped narrative focusing on a shadowy new villain - a small, hooded character capable of wielding dark magic - who spreads corruption through the [[Glade of Dreams]].<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard">YouTube, ''Everything I Learned About Rayman Legends Retold at Ubisoft Montpellier'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EQxfwQPtK0</ref> The main cast - [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], the [[Grand Minimus]], and [[Murfy]] - must work together to rescue the [[Teensie]]s and save their world.<ref name="official_page" />

For the first time since ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the characters are fully voiced and participate in fully dynamic, voiced in-game cutscenes where they actively interact with one another.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" /> [[David Gasman]] returns as the voice of [[Rayman]], while [[Billy West]] reprises his role as [[Murfy]].<ref name="vnheard" />

[[Betilla]] appears in the game as a goddess-like character, boasting a highly redesigned, realistic human-like appearance rather than her cartoonish look from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' or the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']].<ref name="vnheard" />

== Gameplay ==
While preserving the core side-scrolling platforming mechanics of the original game, ''Rayman Legends Retold'' breaks up 2D perception by tilting the camera, bending the playground, and introducing entirely new 3D gameplay sequences.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

Key gameplay features and additions include:
* '''[[Forest dragon|Dragon]] flights:''' Brand-new 3D rail-riding sequences that connect different regions of the worlds. These serve as a modern evolution of the [[giant mosquito]] rides in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', which featured similar gameplay - albeit in 2D - and served the same purpose of connecting worlds together. The flights also serve as callbacks to creature rides in older games, like the [[Bzzit]] flight in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and the [[shell]] rides in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Reworked hub world:''' The original tent hub has been completely replaced. Each world now features its own unique, explorable 3D area containing custom visuals, hidden secrets, and small details to discover before entering levels.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] expansion:''' An extended version of this realm acts as a new world, containing five brand-new stages designed around a "[[Power of Light]]" mechanic.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Cave of Trials]]:''' A new mode offering ongoing free gameplay challenges to test players' skills.<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Four new musical stages:''' Along with returning music levels like [[Castle Rock]] and [[Gloo Gloo]], four completely original rhythm-based levels have been added where player actions, such as jumping and punching, must sync to the beat of the soundtrack.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Updated [[Kung Foot]]:''' The minigame returns with a larger arena, improved controls, customizable rules, and new power-ups, such as the ability to hold onto the ball and pass it to teammates.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Cooperative multiplayer:''' Like in the original game, up to four players can participate in couch co-op, allowing players to rescue [[Teensie]]s together, race for [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], or knock each other off-path to claim rewards.<ref name="official_page" />

== Visuals ==
The game's 3D engine allows for detailed background storytelling. For example, some levels showcase historical depictions of the [[Armored Toad|old Toad King]] as a slimmer, respected ruler prior to his fall from grace in ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''.<ref name="vnheard" /> Level atmospheres have been heavily enhanced; the [[Castle in the Clouds]] level features strong Studio Ghibli vibes, while the [[Enchanted Forest]] features a dark, mysterious nighttime aesthetic reminiscent of [[the Fairy Council]] from ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="vnheard" />

=== Character redesigns ===
Several characters have received detailed redesigns to complement the 3D shift:<ref name="vnheard" />
* [[Rayman]]: Redesigned with two separate eyes, tied-together hoodie drawstrings, and detailed shoes.
* [[Globox]]: Features highly detailed, textured skin and visible teeth.
* [[Teensie]]s: Updated with visible teeth and larger eyes.
* [[Barbara]]: Transitioned into a fully modeled 3D character, representing her biggest visual "glow-up."
* [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]: Wears glasses and has an eccentric, hipster-like appearance. He is also accompanied by a bird companion with a similar color scheme to Betilla; it is possible that this is Betilla, having taken a new form, but this is unconfirmed.
* [[Betilla]]: Given a realistic, human-like redesign.

</gallery>

== Worlds ==
The five main worlds from the original game return with their original level layouts intact, updated with 3D visuals and dynamic camera angles. The locations all have new names: gameplay footage shows that [[Teensies In Trouble]] has become the "Old Teensie Kingdom" and [[Toad Story]] is renamed "The Stinkbog." The launch edition's map shows the names of the remaining worlds: [[Fiesta de los Muertos]] is now the "Mystic Mesa," [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]] has become the "Iron Shell," and [[Olympus Maximus]] is now known as "Mount Elysium."<ref name="vnheard" /> Three other locations are underlined on the map: the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]," which seems to be the "mysterious sixth realm" mentioned in some of the promotional material, "Kung Foot Island," the location of the [[Kung Foot]] minigame, and the [[Cave of Bad Dreams]], a location from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' which has not yet been shown in any capacity.

== Soundtrack ==
The game's soundtrack has been expanded with 55 minutes of brand-new music.<ref name="vnheard" /> Original composer [[Christophe Héral]] returned to compose the score alongside Grant Kirkhope, famous for his musical work on the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Mario + Rabbids'' series.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

== Game editions ==
''Rayman Legends Retold'' is available for pre-order in three distinct editions:<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Standard Edition:''' Includes the base game and a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'' (supporting 4K resolution, 60 FPS, controller haptic feedback, and modern quality-of-life upgrades).
* '''Deluxe Edition:''' Includes the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', an in-game Art Gallery, and the Retro Pack (containing 4 costumes for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], and [[Grand Minimus]] inspired by [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]).
* '''Launch Edition:''' Includes a physical copy of the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', a printed map of the [[Glade of Dreams]], three lithographs, and a slipcase.

A Deluxe Upgrade Pack, containing the extra content in the Deluxe Edition, will also be made available. Pre-ordering any edition of the game awards the '''Hoodlum Havoc Pack''', which grants the player two costumes for [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] inspired by ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="official_page" />

== Reception ==
=== Reveal ===
''Retold'' received mixed to positive reactions upon being revealed, with criticism towards the decision to remake ''Legends'' after the franchise's near decade-long hiatus rather than making a brand new game or remaking an older game like ''[[Rayman 2]]'' or ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Some of the character redesigns were met with positivity, such as [[Barbara]]'s design in her first appearance in a 3D-style ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' game, while others have received criticism, most notably Rayman's separate eyes and [[Betilla]]'s more realistic, human-like design.

In contrast to the criticism, the visual quality, voice acting, cutscenes, new content and gameplay have received praise, with many expressing gratitude for Rayman still being relevant at Ubisoft.

== Future ==
When asked why Ubisoft decided to remake ''Rayman Legends'', Rayman Brand Producer Loïc Gounon responded that they hoped the remake would “be the foundation for the future” of Rayman as an ongoing series.<ref>https://www.nintendolife.com/previews/hands-on-rayman-legends-retold-somehow-legends-returned-but-why</ref> A leaker who revealed the remake before the official announcement stated that development on "''Rayman 4''" (which was alluded to as a joke in ''Rayman 3'') will depend on how well ''Rayman Legends Retold'' performs financially.<ref>https://www.thegamer.com/rayman-4-reportedly-depends-on-legends-retold-sales-success/</ref>

Brand Art Director Guillaume Arvieu described the game's style as "a bridge between the visual richness and dramatization of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3|3]]'', and the efficiency and clarity of the side-scrolling gameplay of ''[[Rayman Legends]]''."<ref name="official_page" /> According to Brand Director Guillaume Cerda, the development team utilized Snowdrop to deliver a more expressive Rayman experience that fully takes advantage of the PS5's capabilities, while Brand Producer Loïc Gounon stated the game preserves what fans love while expanding [[Rayman]]'s lore and world logic.<ref name="official_page" />

Furthermore, the development of the sequel to ''[[Rayman 3]]'' will depend on the sales of this remake.<ref>https://www.thegamer.com/rayman-4-reportedly-depends-on-legends-retold-sales-success/</ref>

== Story ==
The game features a revamped narrative focusing on a shadowy new villain - a small, hooded character capable of wielding dark magic - who spreads corruption through the [[Glade of Dreams]].<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard">YouTube, ''Everything I Learned About Rayman Legends Retold at Ubisoft Montpellier'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EQxfwQPtK0</ref> The main cast - [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], the [[Grand Minimus]], and [[Murfy]] - must work together to rescue the [[Teensie]]s and save their world.<ref name="official_page" />

For the first time since ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the characters are fully voiced and participate in fully dynamic, voiced in-game cutscenes where they actively interact with one another.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" /> [[David Gasman]] returns as the voice of [[Rayman]], while [[Billy West]] reprises his role as [[Murfy]].<ref name="vnheard" />

[[Betilla]] appears in the game as a goddess-like character, boasting a highly redesigned, realistic human-like appearance rather than her cartoonish look from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' or the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']].<ref name="vnheard" />

== Gameplay ==
While preserving the core side-scrolling platforming mechanics of the original game, ''Rayman Legends Retold'' breaks up 2D perception by tilting the camera, bending the playground, and introducing entirely new 3D gameplay sequences.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

Key gameplay features and additions include:
* '''[[Forest dragon|Dragon]] flights:''' Brand-new 3D rail-riding sequences that connect different regions of the worlds. These serve as a modern evolution of the [[giant mosquito]] rides in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', which featured similar gameplay - albeit in 2D - and served the same purpose of connecting worlds together. The flights also serve as callbacks to creature rides in older games, like the [[Bzzit]] flight in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and the [[shell]] rides in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Reworked hub world:''' The original tent hub has been completely replaced. Each world now features its own unique, explorable 3D area containing custom visuals, hidden secrets, and small details to discover before entering levels.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] expansion:''' An extended version of this realm acts as a new world, containing five brand-new stages designed around a "[[Power of Light]]" mechanic.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Cave of Trials]]:''' A new mode offering ongoing free gameplay challenges to test players' skills.<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Four new musical stages:''' Along with returning music levels like [[Castle Rock]] and [[Gloo Gloo]], four completely original rhythm-based levels have been added where player actions, such as jumping and punching, must sync to the beat of the soundtrack.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Updated [[Kung Foot]]:''' The minigame returns with a larger arena, improved controls, customizable rules, and new power-ups, such as the ability to hold onto the ball and pass it to teammates.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Cooperative multiplayer:''' Like in the original game, up to four players can participate in couch co-op, allowing players to rescue [[Teensie]]s together, race for [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], or knock each other off-path to claim rewards.<ref name="official_page" />

== Visuals ==
The game's 3D engine allows for detailed background storytelling. For example, some levels showcase historical depictions of the [[Armored Toad|old Toad King]] as a slimmer, respected ruler prior to his fall from grace in ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''.<ref name="vnheard" /> Level atmospheres have been heavily enhanced; the [[Castle in the Clouds]] level features strong Studio Ghibli vibes, while the [[Enchanted Forest]] features a dark, mysterious nighttime aesthetic reminiscent of [[the Fairy Council]] from ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="vnheard" />

=== Character redesigns ===
Several characters have received detailed redesigns to complement the 3D shift:<ref name="vnheard" />
* [[Rayman]]: Redesigned with two separate eyes, tied-together hoodie drawstrings, and detailed shoes.
* [[Globox]]: Features highly detailed, textured skin and visible teeth.
* [[Teensie]]s: Updated with visible teeth and larger eyes.
* [[Barbara]]: Transitioned into a fully modeled 3D character, representing her biggest visual "glow-up."
* [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]: Wears glasses and has an eccentric, hipster-like appearance. He is also accompanied by a bird companion with a similar color scheme to Betilla; it is possible that this is Betilla, having taken a new form, but this is unconfirmed.
* [[Betilla]]: Given a realistic, human-like redesign.

== Worlds ==
The five main worlds from the original game return with their original level layouts intact, updated with 3D visuals and dynamic camera angles. The locations all have new names: gameplay footage shows that [[Teensies In Trouble]] has become the "Old Teensie Kingdom" and [[Toad Story]] is renamed "The Stinkbog." The launch edition's map shows the names of the remaining worlds: [[Fiesta de los Muertos]] is now the "Mystic Mesa," [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]] has become the "Iron Shell," and [[Olympus Maximus]] is now known as "Mount Elysium."<ref name="vnheard" /> Three other locations are underlined on the map: the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]," which seems to be the "mysterious sixth realm" mentioned in some of the promotional material, "Kung Foot Island," the location of the [[Kung Foot]] minigame, and the [[Cave of Bad Dreams]], a location from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' which has not yet been shown in any capacity.

== Soundtrack ==
The game's soundtrack has been expanded with 55 minutes of brand-new music.<ref name="vnheard" /> Original composer [[Christophe Héral]] returned to compose the score alongside Grant Kirkhope, famous for his musical work on the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Mario + Rabbids'' series.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

== Game editions ==
''Rayman Legends Retold'' is available for pre-order in three distinct editions:<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Standard Edition:''' Includes the base game and a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'' (supporting 4K resolution, 60 FPS, controller haptic feedback, and modern quality-of-life upgrades).
* '''Deluxe Edition:''' Includes the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', an in-game Art Gallery, and the Retro Pack (containing 4 costumes for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], and [[Grand Minimus]] inspired by [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]).
* '''Launch Edition:''' Includes a physical copy of the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', a printed map of the [[Glade of Dreams]], three lithographs, and a slipcase.

A Deluxe Upgrade Pack, containing the extra content in the Deluxe Edition, will also be made available. Pre-ordering any edition of the game awards the '''Hoodlum Havoc Pack''', which grants the player two costumes for [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] inspired by ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="official_page" />

== Reception ==
=== Reveal ===
''Retold'' received mixed to positive reactions upon being revealed, with criticism towards the decision to remake ''Legends'' after the franchise's near decade-long hiatus rather than making a brand new game or remaking an older game like ''[[Rayman 2]]'' or ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Some of the character redesigns were met with positivity, such as [[Barbara]]'s design in her first appearance in a 3D-style ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' game, while others have received criticism, most notably Rayman's separate eyes and [[Betilla]]'s more realistic, human-like design.

In contrast to the criticism, the visual quality, voice acting, cutscenes, new content and gameplay have received praise, with many expressing gratitude for Rayman still being relevant at Ubisoft.

== Future ==
When asked why Ubisoft decided to remake ''Rayman Legends'', Rayman Brand Producer Loïc Gounon responded that they hoped the remake would “be the foundation for the future” of Rayman as an ongoing series.<ref>https://www.nintendolife.com/previews/hands-on-rayman-legends-retold-somehow-legends-returned-but-why</ref> A leaker who revealed the remake before the official announcement stated that development on "''Rayman 4''" (which was alluded to as a joke in ''Rayman 3'') will depend on how well ''Rayman Legends Retold'' performs financially.<ref>https://www.thegamer.com/rayman-4-reportedly-depends-on-legends-retold-sales-success/</ref>

Officially revealed during a Sony State of Play presentation, the game is scheduled for release on the PlayStation 5 on October 1, 2026.<ref name="official_page">PlayStation.Blog, ''Rayman Legends Retold out October 1 on PS5'', https://blog.playstation.com/2026/06/02/rayman-legends-retold-out-october-1-on-ps5/</ref> A physical edition is reportedly in development, with rumors suggesting a release on the rumored Nintendo Switch successor alongside the PS5 version.<ref name="Rumor website 2">[https://gonintendo.com/contents/61248-rumor-rayman-legends-retold-coming-to-switch-2-oct-1st-2026/ Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 release rumors].

''Twisted Voxel''.</ref>

Developed using the [[Snowdrop]] engine, the game serves as a bold 3D reimagining of the original ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Brand Art Director Guillaume Arvieu described the game's style as "a bridge between the visual richness and dramatization of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3|3]]'', and the efficiency and clarity of the side-scrolling gameplay of ''[[Rayman Legends]]''."<ref name="official_page" /> According to Brand Director Guillaume Cerda, the development team utilized Snowdrop to deliver a more expressive Rayman experience that fully takes advantage of the PS5's capabilities, while Brand Producer Loïc Gounon stated the game preserves what fans love while expanding [[Rayman]]'s lore and world logic.<ref name="official_page" />

On June 2 several images before the state of play event were leaked. At state of play [[Ubisoft|ubisoft]] and playstation have released a reveal trailer. Several videos of people playing the game were also published.

== Story ==
The game features a revamped narrative focusing on a shadowy new villain—a small, hooded character capable of wielding dark magic—who spreads corruption through the [[Glade of Dreams]].<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard">YouTube, ''Everything I Learned About Rayman Legends Retold at Ubisoft Montpellier'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EQxfwQPtK0</ref> The main cast—[[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], [[Grand Minimus]], and [[Murfy]]—must work together to rescue the [[Teensie]]s and save their world.<ref name="official_page" />

For the first time in franchise history, the characters are fully voiced and participate in fully dynamic, voiced in-game cutscenes where they actively interact with one another.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" /> [[David Gasman]] returns as the voice of [[Rayman]], while [[Billy West]] reprises his role as [[Murfy]].<ref name="vnheard" />

[[Betilla]] appears in the game as a goddess, boasting a highly redesigned, realistic human-like appearance rather than her cartoonish look from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' or the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']].<ref name="vnheard" />

== Gameplay ==
While preserving the core side-scrolling platforming mechanics of the original game, ''Rayman Legends Retold'' breaks up 2D perception by tilting the camera, bending the playground, and introducing entirely new 3D gameplay sequences.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

Key gameplay features and additions include:
* '''[[Forest dragon|Dragon]] flights:''' Brand-new 3D rail-riding sequences that connect different regions of the worlds. These serve as a modern callback to the [[giant mosquito]] and [[walking shell]] rides of older entries like ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman 2]]''.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Reworked hub world:''' The original tent hub has been completely replaced. Each world now features its own unique, explorable 3D area containing custom visuals, hidden secrets, and small details to discover before entering levels.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] expansion:''' An extended version of this realm acts as a new world, containing five brand-new stages designed around a "[[Power of Light]]" mechanic.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Cave of Trials]]:''' A new mode offering ongoing free gameplay challenges to test players' skills.<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Four new musical stages:''' Completely original rhythm-based levels where player actions, such as jumping and punching, must sync to the beat of the soundtrack.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Updated [[Kung Foot]]:''' The minigame returns with a larger arena, improved controls, customizable rules, and new power-ups, such as the ability to hold onto the ball and pass it to teammates.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Cooperative multiplayer:''' Up to four players can participate in couch co-op, allowing players to rescue [[Teensie]]s together, race for [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], or knock each other off-path to claim rewards.<ref name="official_page" />

== Visuals ==
The game's 3D engine allows for detailed background storytelling. For example, some levels showcase historical depictions of the [[Armored Toad|old Toad King]] as a slimmer, respected ruler prior to his fall from grace in ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''.<ref name="vnheard" /> Level atmospheres have been heavily enhanced; the [[Castle in the Clouds]] level features strong Studio Ghibli vibes, while the [[Enchanted Forest]] features a dark, mysterious nighttime aesthetic reminiscent of [[the Fairy Council]] from ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="vnheard" />

=== Character redesigns ===
Several characters have received detailed redesigns to complement the 3D shift:<ref name="vnheard" />
* [[Rayman]]: Redesigned with two separate eyes, tied-together hoodie drawstrings, and detailed shoes.
* [[Globox]]: Features highly detailed, textured skin.
* [[Teensie]]s: Updated with visible teeth and larger eyes.
* [[Barbara]]: Transitioned into a fully modeled 3D character, representing her biggest visual "glow-up."
* [[Bubble Dreamer]]: Wears glasses and has an eccentric, hipster-like appearance. He is also accompanied by a mysterious bird companion.

== Soundtrack ==
The game's soundtrack has been expanded with 55 minutes of brand-new music.<ref name="vnheard" /> Original composer [[Christophe Héral]] returned to compose the score alongside Grant Kirkhope, famous for his musical work on the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Mario + Rabbids'' series.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

== Game editions ==
''Rayman Legends Retold'' is available for pre-order in two distinct editions:<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Standard Edition:''' Includes the base game.
* '''Deluxe Edition:''' Includes the base game, an in-game Art Gallery, the Retro Pack (containing 4 costumes for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], and [[Grand Minimus]]), and a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'' (supporting 4K resolution, 60 FPS, controller haptic feedback, and modern quality-of-life upgrades).

* '''Four new musical stages:''' Completely original rhythm-based levels where player actions, such as jumping and punching, must sync to the beat of the soundtrack.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Updated [[Kung Foot]]:''' The minigame returns with a larger arena, improved controls, customizable rules, and new power-ups, such as the ability to hold onto the ball and pass it to teammates.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Cooperative multiplayer:''' Up to four players can participate in couch co-op, allowing players to rescue [[Teensie]]s together, race for [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], or knock each other off-path to claim rewards.<ref name="official_page" />

== Visuals ==
The game's 3D engine allows for detailed background storytelling. For example, some levels showcase historical depictions of the [[Armored Toad|old Toad King]] as a slimmer, respected ruler prior to his fall from grace in ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''.<ref name="vnheard" /> Level atmospheres have been heavily enhanced; the [[Castle in the Clouds]] level features strong Studio Ghibli vibes, while the [[Enchanted Forest]] features a dark, mysterious nighttime aesthetic reminiscent of [[the Fairy Council]] from ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="vnheard" />

=== Character redesigns ===
Several characters have received detailed redesigns to complement the 3D shift:<ref name="vnheard" />
* [[Rayman]]: Redesigned with two separate eyes, tied-together hoodie drawstrings, and detailed shoes.
* [[Globox]]: Features highly detailed, textured skin.
* [[Teensie]]s: Updated with visible teeth and larger eyes.
* [[Barbara]]: Transitioned into a fully modeled 3D character, representing her biggest visual "glow-up."
* [[Bubble Dreamer]]: Wears glasses and has an eccentric, hipster-like appearance. He is also accompanied by a mysterious bird companion.

'''''Rayman Legends Retold''''', also known as '''''Rayman Legends: Retold''''', is an unannounced ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' game that leaked in late May 2026. It is reportedly a remaster of ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. The game allegedly has a retail price of $39.99 and a targeted release date of October 1, 2026.<ref name="Rumor website 1">[https://twistedvoxel.com/rayman-legends-retold-pricing-and-release-date-reportedly-leak-ahead-of-reveal/ Pricing and release date leak]. ''Twisted Voxel''.</ref> Among the expected new features, the game is said to include an online cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players, a notable evolution from the original game which only supported local multiplayer. A physical edition is reportedly in development, allegedly exclusive to the PlayStation 5 and the rumored Nintendo Switch successor.<ref name="Rumor website 2">[https://gonintendo.com/contents/61248-rumor-rayman-legends-retold-coming-to-switch-2-oct-1st-2026/ Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 release rumors]. ''GoNintendo''.</ref>

Rumors suggested that the game would be officially unveiled and made available for pre-order no later than June 2, 2026, just hours before a Sony State of Play presentation.<ref name="Rumor website 3">[https://www.gematsu.com/2026/05/rumor-rayman-legends-retold-to-be-announced-by-june-2/ Pre-order rumors]. ''Gematsu''.</ref> If true, this timeline would contradict other rumors claiming the game would be revealed during the Sony event itself.

The title reportedly incorporates both traditional 2.5D mechanics and new 3D sections.<ref name="Rumor website 4">[https://news.instant-gaming.com/en/articles/19766-rayman-legends-retold-is-expected-to-feature-3d-sections/ Rayman Legends Retold is expected to feature 3D sections]. ''Instant Gaming''.</ref> These three-dimensional segments are said to be entirely new additions not found in the original game, allegedly featuring ''Star Fox''-style rail-shooter gameplay where the player flies on the back of a dragon to shoot enemies. Furthermore, a developer reportedly confirmed that the internal project name for the game is "Steambot". As the game remains officially unannounced, all information regarding its content and release remains unconfirmed.

On June 2 several new in-game images were leaked by a california website. The page was later taken down at an unknown time.
== Story ==
The game reportedly features an entirely new storyline and antagonist, who is stated not to be [[Mr Dark]]. This new villain is described as a hooded figure attempting to conjure an apocalyptic eclipse. He allegedly looks completely different from [[Mr Dark]] and takes orders from a larger, unseen antagonist who communicates via a mysterious orb.

As in the original game, [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] allegedly discover a mysterious tent filled with captivating paintings that transport them to new mythical worlds. In one of these new dimensions, the heroes reportedly fight dragons and other epic creatures, utilizing combat mechanics that allow for attacks from all angles. [[Betilla]] is said to appear as a goddess with a redesigned, more realistic appearance, departing from her cartoony design seen in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']].

== Worlds ==
Leaks mention the inclusion of a new musical world. In these stages, players allegedly jump to the beat of a drum, punch to a bass line, and zip-line during guitar riffs, relying on timing and rhythm to complete maps set to original musical tracks. This gameplay style appears similar to the [[Living Dead Party]] world from ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. The overall level design is expected to remain faithful to the original game, but with updated 2.5D visuals.

=== ''[[Teensies In Trouble]]'' ===
3 of the leaked in game images take place in [[Teensies In Trouble|teensies in trouble]]. One of them looks to be in the haunted castle theme but this remains a rumor.
