Story[edit | edit source]
The cosmic balance and harmony of Rayman's world are maintained by a mystical object known as the Great Protoon. One day, the mysterious Mr Dark steals the Great Protoon, defeating Betilla the Fairy as she attempts to protect it. As a result, the Electoons – benevolent creatures which gravitated around the Great Protoon – are scattered across the world. In this now-unbalanced world, hostile creatures appear and imprison the Electoons in cages. The Magician, a benevolent wizard, calls upon the hero Rayman to free the Electoons, defeat Mr Dark and recover the Great Protoon.
