The Giant Dominoes is an activity from Rayman Activity Centre, which is accessible via the world map. It appears to be set in the Caves of Skops judging by the background, although the Magician makes reference to a sea of ink, suggesting the location might actually be Picture City. In the activity, Rayman wants to cross the sea by traveling across a path of giant dominoes. Unfortunately, he finds that the path is incomplete, and so the Magician instructs the player to help by completing the domino patterns.

Gameplay

This activity plays like a game of dominoes, with players filling the gaps by clicking and dragging in dominoes which match the pattern of numbered spots on either side. Answers are then submitted by clicking on the green lever in the status bar. After every correct answer, there is an animation of Rayman crossing the dominoes in various ways, such as while cartwheeling across them or while walking and juggling at the same time.

Level 1

On the first difficulty setting, all the player is required to do is drag the dominoes in place. When the activity is completed, Rayman walks across the dominoes, where he is joined by the Magician, who ends up falling over half way across the path.

Level 2

On this level, the player not only has to drag the dominoes in place, but they also have the ability to rotate them using an icon underneath each domino. The dominoes must be rotated and moved to fit the pattern, making it play more like an actual game. After a certain amount of game, Rayman and the Magician make an attempt to cross the dominoes again, only this time there is a hole in the path. Rayman makes the jump with ease by using his helicopter, but the Magician has more trouble, having to use his magic staff to hang on to the platform.

Level 3

This level appears to play exactly the same as the last, although the domino patterns seem slightly more complex in design. At the end,Rayman continues to cross the path by foot, while the Magician tries to pass by flying on a magic carpet. This plan fails however, as he ends up falling off, while Rayman continues to make it across with ease.

Trivia

  • One of tracks that plays while Rayman crosses the dominoes is an instrumental of the song from the Fruit Merry-go Round.
