Bongo Hills
Bongo Hills is the first level of Band Land, the second world of Rayman. It is one of the longest levels in the game, containing six parts.
Part 1
In the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Atari Jaguar versions, this part is a typical Band Land stage, with a lot of secret passages.
In the PC version it is replaced by a totally different one, which is a transition between Dream Forest and Band Land. It features a unique scenery, with xylophone bridges over a quiet water. As Rayman climbs up, he will find himself in a new world. The DSi port uses this variant while Rayman Advance drops this part completely, starting Bongo Hills at Part 2.
Part 2
Phase 2 introduces Rayman and the player to flying moths, which are extremely resistant enemies. There are some wrong notes that, if not jumped over properly, will cause the player to lose a life.
At the near end of this part, there is a string of Tings which, when collected consecutively, play the French song Au Clair de la Lune.
Part 3
Rayman will mainly use Maracas Rockets to ascend this area. There are many spiked balls that can cause the player to lose lives.
Part 4
One cage is impossible to get at first, as Rayman needs the Helicopter power to reach it.
Part 5
Part 6
This is the only level along with the PlayStation version of Moskito's Nest in Part 4 and Eat at Joe's in Part 4 to not have any cages and not involve a boss.
