Rayman
This page is about Rayman, the 1996 video game. For an overview of the series, see Rayman series. Rayman is the first title in the Rayman series.
The Plot
Rayman is the story of Rayman, a man with no legs or arms. Rayman's job is to find and defeat Mr. Dark, a mysterious fellow who has stolen one of the magical forces of the world, The Great Protoon. The dissapearance of the Great Protoon caused Rayman's world to go crazy, and Rayman must make it across tons of zany areas and defeat to save his world. Along for the ride are The Magician, a guy who can give Rayman access to bonus levels and narrarates the opening movie, Bettila the Fairy, who lost her powers after Mr. Dark stole the Platoon but is working on regaining them (she also gives new abilities to Rayman), and the Electoons, who went nuts and escaped after Mr. Dark's heist and are now in cages, waiting for Rayman to save them.
Rayman Gold
Later, on September 28, 1997, Ubisoft released an updated version of the game for the PC. This bundle had the original Rayman in its entirety, as well as another game, Rayman Gold. It was based on the original game, only now Rayman has to collect 100 Blue Tings in a level before he can finish it. It included a level editor with which players could make their own levels and share them with others via the Internet; a feature that didn't particularly catch on.
