'''Whale Bay''' is a location in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. It follows [[the Canopy]] in all versions of the game but the PlayStation adaptation, in which it follows [[the Bayou]], and the [[Rayman 2 Forever|GBC adaptation]], in which it is set directly after [[the Marshes of Awakening]]. This is where Rayman rescues Carmen the Whale from the [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirates]] who planned to use her blubber for fuel. She then takes him to a grounded ship, or to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] in the PlayStation version, where he will fight [[Axel]] and find the first [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]].

==Original version==
Whale Bay is the first level in the game to feature [[Barrel Pirate]]s--however, fighting these powerful enemies is avoidable.

The first half of Whale Bay takes place in the Whale Bay Fortress, with [[Rayman]] attempting to locate the prison where [[Carmen]] the Whale is being held. In some versions of the game, one area in particular has respawning [[Robo-Pirate]]s, making for some interesting challenges.
[[Rayman]] must first go through an aquarium right next to the [[magic door]] and come out at the other side to activate a switch opening the door at the side. [[Rayman]] comes out to a netted room. He can collect the red and yellow lums by avoiding the [[pirahnas]]. Outside, Rayman will encounter a [[purple henchman 800]]. After defeating him, Rayman will climb a barrel and a net to reach the other barrel and shoot a switch on the opposite wall to open the electric door. Inside the door, rolling [[kegs]] will try to harm him. Rayman must avoid them, while collecting the [[lums]] overhead. Outside the room, Rayman will encounter a chasing [[purple Henchman 800]]. When the pirate is dead, you can take a [[keg]] from the room at the right and use it to break the sparadrap holding a [[cage]] containing a [[purple lum]]. After that, Rayman enters the passage to end the first half.

The second half of Whale Bay revolves around the lake itself, and [[Rayman]]'s attempts to free [[Carmen]] the Whale. After [[Carmen]] is freed, [[Rayman]] must follow [[Carmen]] into the extensive underwater cave network of Whale Bay, using [[Carmen]]'s bubbles for air (considering the [[piranha]]s don't reach them first). [[Carmen]] leads [[Rayman]] to a secret grotto, where the remains of a submarine mark the way for escape. In most versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the level closes with [[Rayman]] exiting a beached ship, sliding down a watery slope, and evading an [[Ape Pirate]].

==Dreamcast version==

While this level remains the same as that in the original version, one of the six Globox Crystals can be found in an underwater cave in Phase 2, where [[Carmen]] the Whale stops.

==PlayStation version==
In the PS version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', Whale Bay follows [[the Bayou]] level instead of [[the Canopy]]. The level is notably more difficult than in any other version, requiring the player to battle many camouflaged [[Barrel Pirate]]s where in other versions the player would have just had to journey through respawning pirates and not have to fight any [[Barrel Pirate]]s.

[[Carmen]]'s journey is also majorly different, to a story-changing degree. Instead of taking [[Rayman]] to a grounded ship, she takes him to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]]. The sanctuary is intact and features a mixed environment of water and ice, though it is slightly more predominant on the water side. It is much more like the later sanctuaries in either version.

As such, the boss of Whale Bay in the PS version is [[Axel]], the Guardian of [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]]. Whale Bay's rendition is also unique in that it is the only appearance of [[Axel]]'s to have dialogue.

==PlayStation 2 version==
''[[Rayman 2: Revolution|Revolution]]'' adds a connection between [[the Canopy]] and Whale Bay levels, compared to the odd linear connection in the other versions. In ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution|Revolution]]'', [[Rayman]] must rescue [[Globox]] from [[the Canopy]]; otherwise, one of the [[Baby Globox]]es will not help [[Rayman]] elude the [[Robo-Pirate]]s guarding the entrance to Whale Bay. [[Rayman]] in addition profits from rescuing [[Carmen]]--[[Carmen]] then chases off the tentacle blocking the entrance to the nearby [[Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].

==Game Boy Color version==
[[File:Gbc2_26.PNG|thumb|left|[[Rayman]] holding the first [[Four Masks of Polokus|mask of Polokus]]]]

In ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color adaptation of the game, Whale Bay directly follows [[the Marshes of Awakening]], and is where the first [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]] is located. Carmen is completely absent aside from an appearance in the world's introductory panel (see right).
