The Story of Rayman 2

The story of Rayman 2 begins with a big problem! The peaceful world of Rayman, called the Glade of Dreams, has been taken over by evil Robot Pirates. Their leader is the scary Admiral Razorbeard. He has captured many of Rayman's friends and taken away the magical energy of the world.

Rayman himself is locked up on one of the Robot Pirate ships. Luckily, he reunites with his good friend, Globox. Globox helps Rayman get back his special power to use his fists. With his powers back, Rayman manages to escape from the pirate ship! He crash-lands in a mysterious forest.

Rayman soon learns that the heart of his world, the Polokus, has been broken into 1000 pieces called Lums. He also finds out that the spirit of the world, Polokus, is sleeping. To wake him up and defeat the pirates, Rayman must find four special masks. These masks will help Polokus gain enough power to fight back against the invaders. Rayman travels through many different lands, saving his friends and collecting Lums and masks along the way.

How to Play the Game

In Rayman 2, you control Rayman as he jumps, runs, and swings through colorful 3D worlds. The game is all about exploring and solving puzzles. Rayman has many cool abilities:
