copied from the instruction manual, so I don’t take credit for it.               
“Panic in the Chamber of the Teensies and the Fairy Council: Robo-Pirates from deep in
space have arrived, determined to conquer and enslave their entire world.  The time for
combat has come.  Volunteers form small resistance groups and throw themselves into battle
with the evil aggressors.  Rayman and his friend Globox go to the edge of the Great
Forest, where the highest number of pirates are located.”                
“Rayman jumps from a tree and activates his helicopter for a soft landing in the middle of
a thicket of bushes.  ‘The Pirates are coming straight at us!’, cries Rayman to his
friend.  ‘Get ready!’  The earth suddenly begins to tremble…  Several trees collapse,
creating a passageway for an army of robots.  The Battle begins!  Rayman leaps into
action, sending metal monsters flying with his powerful energy spheres.  A little later,
Globox, trembling with fright, desperately tries to make the robots rust up by creating
little rainstorms over their heads.  A robot, creaking horribly, crashes to the ground. 
‘Not bad, Globox!’ shouts Rayman with a smile.  Globox tries to answer, but Rayman doesn’t
hear.  The strained face of Ly has just appeared in his mind.  ‘Rayman…’, begins Ly , in a
weary voice, ‘The pirates have broken the heart of the world.  The energy has scattered. 
Other than Clark, all of our brave warriors have been captured…’               
“Shocked by this terrible news, Rayman lets himself be surprised by a gigantic robot who
pins him between it’s powerful pinchers.  He tries to create a new energy sphere in the
palm of his hand, but to no avail.  The destruction of the Primordial Core has taken away
all of his powers…  Desperate, he shouts to his friend…  ‘They’ve got me, Globox!  Save
yourself!’  ‘But…but…what about you?!’  ‘No time to explain!  Go find Ly, she’ll tell you
what to do!’  After a moment of hesitation, Globox dodges between the feet of the robots,
and plunges into the high grass.                “An evil laugh reverberates.  Rayman
turns and sees Razorbeard, the leader of the Pirates.  ‘I have you, Rayman!  You’ll soon
be my most obedient slave…!’  Rayman tries to free himself, but the iron grip of the robot
tightens around him.  He casts a dark look and shouts defiantly: ‘It’s not over yet,
pirate!  I’ll find a way to escape and then I’ll make you wish you’d never been
born!’”  ---------------------2. CONTROLS--------------------- Control

CHARACTERS-------------------------- Rayman: Rayman is the main character, a strange
guy with no limbs or a neck.  He was captured by the Robopirates, but his friend, Globox,
helped him escape.  Rayman must save the world from the horrible Robopirates. Globox:
Globox is Rayman’s friend and helps Rayman escape from the Robopirates.  He is a coward,
yet he can still be useful, since he can make small rainstorms, good for watering plants
and putting out fires. Ly: Ly is a fairy.  She can create Silver Lums to give Rayman
new powers. Murfy: Murfy gives Rayman advice in certain areas.  Rayman can also learn
things from Murfy through the Stones of Thought. The Teensies: The Teensies have
forgotten who their king is, but they’re still quite wise.  They created the Hall of
Doors. Polokus: Polokus is the spirit of the world.  He created everything, but he
left the world a long time ago.  You can only bring him back by collecting the four
masks. Clark: Clark is really strong and can break through walls, but he’s not
feeling very well when you first meet him. Sam: Sam is a snake that takes you through
the Marshes of Awakening. Carmen: Carmen is a whale who makes air
bubbles. Admiral Razorbeard: Razorbeard is the leader of the Robopirates, the evil
group that wants to make everyone in Rayman’s world a slave. The Guardian of the Cave
of Bad Dreams: This guy guards, well, it says in the title.  He won’t let you past until
you know the name of the place.  Unfortunately for Rayman, he hasn’t read the game manual,
so he has to learn the name elsewhere.  ------------------4.
ENEMIES-----------------               I made up the names for most of these.  I didn’t
include bosses. Black Flies: These are annoying black balls of I-don’t-know-what that
fly around you.  You know these dumb things are coming when you hear a buzzing sound. 
Just shoot them all until no more bother you. Black Worms: These are the weird, long,
black things that jump around and look mad.  One shot kills them, but they’ll sometimes
keep coming back, so you’ll just have to leave them alone. Crabs: Crabs are cute and
not seen too often, but they can hurt you.  You can’t kill them, but it is fun to throw a
Keg at them to make them bounce high in the air. Evil Arms: I made up a pathetic name
for these, and once you go to the Cave of Bad Dreams, you’ll know what I’m talking about. 
They are skeleton arms that come out of walls and try to grab you.  Shoot them, and
they’ll go away for a short time.  You can’t kill them. Eyeballs: These don’t come
after you; they just jump up and down all creepy-like. Giant Spiders: These spiders
are big and chase you if you try to get away.  They can climb up walls and move very
quickly, so it’s almost impossible to get away from one.  There are also smaller spiders
that give you less trouble, but still trouble nonetheless. Helicopter Bombs: These
are round bombs with a propeller that enables them to fly.  They chase you until either
you shoot them or they blow up. Little Cyclops: These things look like the guardian
of the Cave of Bad Dreams, except they’re little and don’t have the stylish hat.  If you
get too close, they’ll eat you, so don’t get close.  Sometimes they shoot fire, and other
times, they hide behind walls, then, try to sneak up behind you when you turn your
back. Piranhas: Piranhas are in most of the water areas in this game, so you don’t
get to swim very often.  Some even jump out of the water, making evil, little laughter,
but you can just shoot them to kill them. Robomonkeys: These stupid things chase you,
then, stomp on you.  You can throw Plums on their heads and lead them into running off
ledges.  Otherwise, you can’t kill them. Robopirates: There are a lot of these
dudes.  They are the main enemies in the game.  They shoot at you, and some swat at you
with their hooks.  Others are even more annoying and can drill through the ground and pop
up in different places. Walking Barrels: These dudes are weird.  They are big barrels
that shoot electricity at you and sometimes cannonballs that leave behind evil smoke. 
Just hide and keep shooting a wall until it bounces into them.  You can beat them very
quickly this way. Whiplash: These remind me of an enemy in Banjo-Kazooie (so I don’t
take credit for the name), so, yeah.  They are weird plant things that come out of the
ground and walls.  They’ll go away for a few seconds if you shoot them, but you can’t kill
them. Zombie Chickens: Zombie Chickens are dead chickens that like to float out of
the ground and attack.  They’re annoying.  ----------------------------5. TYPES
OF LUMS----------------------------- Yellow Lums: These Lums are needed to get into
certain areas, and you can get information from them if you hold L.  There are 1,000 in
all. Red Lums: Red Lums replenish your energy. Purple Lums: When you shoot one
of these, you can swing from it.  Press A to let go. Super Yellow Lums: These are
worth five Yellow Lums. Blue Lums: Blue Lums help you breathe underwater. Green
Lums: When you die, you’ll come back to the last Green Lum you got. Silver Lums:
Silver Lums give you new powers.  Ly can make them.  --------------------6.
OBJECTS------------------- Blockades: Blockades block doors and such.  The white ones
can just be shot at, but the metal ones must have a Keg thrown at them to break
them. Cages: For every 10 cages you break, you get more energy.  Teensies and Lums
are found in these. The Four Masks: You need all four masks to bring Polokus
back. Kegs: Kegs can break down doors, be lit on fire (which makes them fly), and are
good for killing a Robopirate with one hit.  Go next to one to pick it up.  Press B to
throw it forward or press A to throw it upward. Magic Doors: These are found at the
beginning and end of a level.  Go through to be returned to the Hall of Doors. Magic
Spheres: Magic Spheres can open doors when they’re put onto the pedestal of the same
color. Plums: You can ride on Plums across lava, and they can be thrown onto spikes
or onto the heads of Robomonkeys.  They are carried and thrown using the same controls as
the Kegs. Power Fist: This makes Rayman’s attacks more powerful.  After he dies or
gets hurt three times, Rayman will go back to normal. Shells: Have a Shell chase you
until it stops running, then, get on to ride it.  While riding, press A to get off (or to
jump if it’s going too fast), and press B to make it go faster.  Some Shells can fly,
too. Stones of Thought: Go to these to get advice from Murfy. Switches: Switches
do special things when shot.  -------------------------------7.
WALKTHROUGH--------------------------------THE BEGINNING               First, there’s a
cut scene, and after a bit, you’ll see that Rayman is locked in a cell on the Prison
Ship.  Globox will be tossed in there with him, and after talking, Globox will give Rayman
a Silver Lum.  Hooray, Rayman can use his basic fist powers again!  And most importantly,
you’ll get to play the game for a short time.  Shoot the nearby grate to break it, then,
go through.  Slide down here and get the Red Lums.  Again, there is a cut scene as Globox
follows Rayman down, but bumps into him, pushing our hero off the ledge. He’ll fall down
to…  THE WOODS OF LIGHT               Yellow Lums: 5               Cages:
2               Here, you’ll talk to Murfy.  Then, follow the stream over to a little
alcove.  Break the cage here, and Murfy will talk to you again.  Now get the Yellow Lum
that you freed, then, drop down the hole here.  Go along here and get 2 Yellow Lums here. 
Another is behind the waterfall.  Now go onto a higher ledge, and use your helicopter to
get to the ledge across from you.  Rayman will talk to the Globox babies, then, you can
continue to the next room.  On the left side of here, Murfy will explain how to get up the
crevice in the wall.  Just go in and repeatedly press A to jump up the crevice and get to
the top.  Get the last Lum up here, then, break the cage up here, and there will be
another cut scene.  You can leave the level as long as you have all 5 Yellow
Lums.  THE FAIRY GLADE               Yellow Lums: 50               Cages:
7               Start by going into the water.  To the right is a tunnel going downwards. 
Swim down, and you’ll find a cage.  Break it for a Yellow Lum.  Don’t forget to use those
Blue Lums for air.  Now return to land.  Jump on that mushroom on the small island to
bounce up to the vines above you.  Climb across here to a ledge, then, drop down.  Go
forward, and you’ll find a piranha jumping out of the water.  Shoot it, then, cross the
lily pads.  (You’ll get hurt if you go into this water.)  Now cross some ledges to get to
a switch.  Shoot it to open a door, then, cross the top of this branch.  (Jump over the
water running over the branch.  It might push you off.)  You’ll end up at a cage.  Break
it, then, go through the door that opened.  Keep going until you find a weird machine. 
Climb onto it, then, go to one of the pieces of metal sticking out on the right side. 
From one of these, helicopter over to the small island in the water.  From it, get onto
the barrel, then, ride that through some Yellow Lums.  Now get back onto land when you can
and return to the top of the machine.  Jump onto the things moving up and down, and then
go into the alcove in the wall.               In here, long black enemies come from a
grate in the wall.  Leave them alone because you can’t get rid of them.  Just climb up the
vines on the big tree, and go through the hallway up here.  Slide down some slippery water
to get to another area with water you can’t go in.  There is another entrance to this
area.  You’ll need to find it later in the game if you want all the Yellow Lums and
cages.  Anyway, cross the vines on the wall and avoid the piranha.  On the other side,
drop through the hole.  In this area, ignore the Robopirate for now.  Just go forward to
find a tunnel.  Go through to find another room.  Shoot the piranha in here, then, get the
Yellow Lums on the lily pads.  Now climb up the ladders to find a cage.  Break it for a
Yellow Lum, then, get the other Yellow Lum floating by the wall near a purple plant. 
Return to the previous area, and stand on the Blockade on the ground for a short time and
then move.  The Robopirate will throw a Keg at you, and it should hit the Blockade and
break it.               Drop through the hole, then cross the boxes.  Climb up the webs
over here while avoiding the falling Kegs, then at the top, shoot the weak Blockade to
break it.  Go through this doorway, then, go left and Murfy will talk to you.  Next, fight
the Robopirate outside.  After beating it, continue to the next room.  Grab the Keg here,
and throw it at the sleeping Robopirate to blow it up.  Now get another Keg and return
outside.  Throw it at the Blockade to break it, then, go through to find another cage. 
Now return to the room with the Kegs, and climb up the grating.  Get the Yellow Lums on
the climbable ceiling, then, go into the doorway up here.  Helicopter down in the next
room so you have time to shoot at the switch.  It’s okay if you miss, though.  The ground
is bouncy and will let you bounce until you can hit it.  Just avoid the laser moving back
and forth.  The switch will open a door, so go through.  Jump over some lasers, then,
defeat the Robopirate.  Shoot the switch on the wall, then, drop down and go through the
newly opened doorway.               Now jump over some more lasers, then, climb down some
ropes (and get the Yellow Lums on them).  Ly is stuck down here, and you must break the
machine making the force field around her.  Go into the tunnel to find it.  You have to
bring Kegs over to the machine and hit each of the three Blockades on it.  Unfortunately,
this is harder than it sounds.  Flying bombs will come at you, so you must stand still and
press A to throw the Keg straight up.  Then, you shoot at the bomb to blow it up.  So just
repeat this until you destroy all three Blockades and free Ly.  The fairy will talk to you
and teach you how to use Purple Lums.  Just shoot them to swing from them.  Climb back up
the ropes on the wall, then, use the Purple Lum to cross the gap.  Over here, climb up
between two walls, then, past here, you must helicopter down while getting Yellow Lums. 
You’ll end up seeing a Robopirate, too.  Beat it and break the cage near it, then,
continue down.  At the bottom, continue to the next room.  Murfy will talk to you, then,
you can go up the wind tunnels.  Just use your helicopter in them.  There are Yellow Lums
in them, so don’t forget.  Make sure you go into every single wind tunnel, or you may miss
a few Lums.  Anyway, at the top, swing across the Purple Lum to get to a wooden area. 
Break the cage here to free a Teensie.  The Teensie and Rayman will dance, then, a Magic
Door will open up, letting you leave this level.  Keep reading to learn how to get the
remaining Lums and cage….               The Echoing Caves has a tunnel that leads to the
Fairy Glade.  You have to fly up to it using a Keg.  I explained where it was at the end
of the first paragraph of the Echoing Caves section.  So, once you’re here, drop down, and
go to the bridge.  Shoot the Plum, and get onto it.  Ride it past the bridge, and then
jump off and climb across some webs.  Go across some wooden platforms, then, climb across
more webs.  Be careful of the black flies as you go along.  Drop onto the platform at the
end, then, swing across some Purple Lums, and jump across some more platforms.  Now,
you’ll get to a Robopirate that is throwing Kegs at you.  Make him throw a Keg onto the
Blockade on the bridge to make it fall, then, helicopter down into the hole beneath the
Blockade.  In here, kill the sleeping Robopirate, and break the cage.  Drop down the hole
to return to Echoing Caves.  THE MARSHES OF AWAKENING               Yellow Lums:
50               Cages: 5               Well, start off by going left across that log. 
Watch out for the piranhas jumping across it.  Over here is a Yellow Lum, Zombie Chickens,
eyeballs, and a weird guy that won’t let you go somewhere until you know the name of the
place he’s guarding.  You’ll be allowed past in due time; for now, return to the beginning
now and cross the lily pads to get to some ropes.  Climb left and jump over the ropes to
get to a little dock.  Break the cage to free Sam the snake.  After a short cut scene,
shoot Sam’s scarf to go water-skiing.  Press A to jump and hold Z to go faster.  So watch
out for Yellow Lums as you go along and avoid enemies.  When you see a Super Lum, jump
into the wall to get it and to hit a switch.  Get the Yellow Lums that appear and kill the
Zombie Chickens in your path by holding Z to go into them fast.  Now Sam will circle this
next area several times.  Try to hit the cages and then get the Yellow Lums left behind on
your next time around.  Then, Sam will eventually take you to another area.              
Watch out for the helicopter bombs here.  They sit on top of the water in your way.  After
the first one, run into the floating wood to get onto a ramp with Yellow Lums on it. 
Then, there will be another group of bombs with a Yellow
