	In [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'' game]], a mystical orb named the [[Great Protoon]] appears. Like the Heart of the World, it maintains the harmony and balance of the world. When it is stolen by the villainous [[Mr Dark]], the world is plunged into chaos, and unpleasant creatures begin to appear and multiply. After this game, the [[Great Protoon]] is never mentioned, and its position in the story is subsequently filled by the Heart of the World. Since the Heart largely has the same function as [[Great Protoon\|the Protoon]] (and even resembles it in ''[[Rayman 3]]''), it has been speculated that they are in fact the same object.
