When a villain known only as Mr. Dark appears, trouble brews in Rayman's world. Mr. Dark captures the Toons - source of light and Rayman's friends. With no more light, evil creatures begin to roam, making the world unsafe for everyone. It’s up to you, as Rayman, to free your friends and put an end to Mr. Dark's dastardly schemes!
Rayman is a side-scrolling platformer starring the titular Rayman, a big-nosed chap with no arms or legs. Rayman can jump and use his hair to hover for a short period of time. He can also attack by throwing his fists, or winding up his fists for a more powerful punch. He can occasionally find special power ups that grant him unlimited flying power, giving him the ability to navigate through tricky mazes.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Rayman is an action-platformer where players guide the limbless hero through diverse, stylized worlds to restore balance after the villain Mister Dark steals the Great Proton. The player must rescue scattered Electoons, defeat unique bosses like Moskito and Mister Sax, and ultimately reclaim the stolen energy source to save the world.
Story
INTRODUCTION
Hi Folks! You want to know what's going on? Let me tell you the story of Rayman...
In Rayman's world, nature and people live together in peace. The Great Proton provides and maintains the harmony and balance in the world.
Sorry Folks, this apparently can't last. Do you want to play or what?
... one fateful day, the evil Mister Dark steals the Great Proton and defeats Betilla the Fairy as she tries to protect it! The Electoons who used to gravitate around it lose their natural stability and scatter all over the world!
Troublesome, isn't it? And untidy, too!
In the now-unbalanced world, strange phenomena begin to occur: freaks and hostile characters appear, capturing every Electoon they can find!
The disappearance of the Great Proton also neutralized all of Betilla the Fairy's powers, and she needs time to regenerate her energy before she can help in any way...
They definitely need a hero to save them now, don't you think?
RAYMAN'S QUEST
Rayman to the rescue! As a guardian of this world, he must free the Electoons, recapture the Great Proton from its mysterious kidnapper and reassemble them all to restore the world's harmony.
But will the bad guys let him do it?...
After all, Rayman doesn't have arms or legs ...
But don't panic, neither do the bad guys.
WARNING
In the different worlds of the game described here, you might meet the "bosses" more than once!
And always be on the lookout for the Antitoons, Mister Dark's foot soldiers. They're small, but they're dangerous!
THE DREAM FOREST
Rayman has to proceed through the jungle without ever falling into the swamp waters. He will come across hunters and explorers.
This is where he meets Tarayzan, his first friend. Help Tarayzan get dressed and see what happens!
The big boss is Moskito, a persistant giant mosquito.
BAND LAND
In a scene filled with clouds and slippery sheet music bars, Rayman must advance among music instruments (drums, maracas, cymbals...) and avoid wrong notes.
Once he escapes from the trumpets, he will find himself face to face with the deafening Mister Sax.
BLUE MOUNTAINS
Rayman has to move forward, avoiding rock avalanches and stone creatures.
In these mountains, Rayman meets the Musician and helps him recover his lost guitar.
The big boss to defeat is Mister Stone, a creature made of rock.
PICTURE CITY
This is the world of images, as well as the world of mirages. Once he walks across the stage of a small theater, Rayman comes across beings straight from a pirate movie or a science fiction film.
In particular, he'll meet Space Mama, a tough cookie with a deadly rolling pin.
THE CAVES OF SKOPS
This is a troubling underground world. Enter it through Joe the Extraterrestrial's cheerful snack shop.
First, Rayman has to plug in his friend Joe's shop sign while avoiding the spiders.
Then he must work his way around the stalactites in the cave to find the lair of Skops the Scorpion.
CANDY CHATEAU
Welcome to the world of desserts where Mister Dark is hidden, guarded by clowns performing amazing stunts.
But be careful, Mister Dark is diabolical!
Now that you know what to expect, plug in your joystick and get ready to play.
Good luck!
How to Play
THE BASICS
Rayman has to free the imprisoned Electoons to re-establish order in his world. For each level there is a medallion with 6 empty spaces, each of which corresponds to a cage of Electoons which you have to find. Each time you free a cage of Electoons, one space on the medallion is filled.
In order to enter the Candy Chateau level, you must first free all of the Electoons in the first five worlds.
At the start of the game, Rayman can carry out simple actions: walking, jumping, holding onto vines, and crawling. As you progress through the game, Rayman gets new powers: a punching fist, the ability to hang onto platforms, a grabbing fist, the ability to run, and even a special helicopter feature!
Betilla the Fairy grants him these very special powers. A brief explanation of how to use your new powers will appear on the screen each time you get one.
Once you have acquired a new power, it will be useful to you throughout the rest of the game. But, you should also backtrack to thoroughly explore the levels you have already gone through, because you probably haven't seen it all yet. Some surprises are waiting for you, things that you were unable to reach the first time you went through...
At the beginning of each game, a map of Rayman's world will be displayed. Each time you have completed a level, the next paths available to you will be highlighted on the screen. Most of the time, you will be able to choose between two directions.
The “normal” exit to any level is at the end of it. Exits are indicated by an exit sign. You can also exit the first level of a stage by going back out through the entrance door.
However, if you exit via the entrance door, you will lose all of the items (Tings, special powers, etc) that you picked up in this level.
To pause during gameplay, press the Start/Pause button. To resume playing, press it again.
STARTING THE GAME
Insert your Rayman disk in your Saturn console. Press the POWER button. If you don't press the “Start” button while on the title screen, you'll see a demo of gameplay.
To change the default options of the game, use the directional arrow to access the Options screen. Use the arrows again to modify the volume of the sound effects, the music and the functions of the joypad keys.
•
Validate your choices with the A or C buttons.
•
To play, select “Start”.
•
Choose a game from one of the three spots available and validate your choice by pressing one of the action buttons.
(The "Options" function can be used to change the music and the sound effects as well as to change the functions of your Saturn joypad buttons. See the SAVING THE GAME section for more information about playing previously saved games.)
The messages that appear on the screen during gameplay can be in one of three languages:
TINGS
If Rayman picks up one hundred of them, he gains an extra life, but they can also be used to pay the magician (who'll give you access to the bonus stages). But careful-when Rayman dies, he loses all of the Tings he collected.
CONTINUES
If you lose your last life, a Continue allows you to restart the game from the last level played with a credit of 4 lives. The Continue screen appears after Rayman dies for the last time.
•
If you want to use a Continue, you must ring the alarm clock by pressing any button on the joypad.
•
Do this to awaken Rayman from his stupor before he staggers to the “Game Over” side.
THE MAGICIAN
He is hidden away in the scenery. With his help, Rayman can enter into secret worlds.
In these bonus stages, your skill and rapidity will allow you to earn Tings or a bonus life. But please note that this magic stunt has to be deserved, and it will cost you 10 Tings to take advantage of it.
IMPROVING YOUR GAME
•
You will gain a bonus life if you manage to get a perfect score in the bonus map.
•
This means you will have to get all the Tings within a minimum time limit.
•
If you achieve this perfect score, the bonus map will then be available at no charge, but there will be no more bonus lives.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER
He is there to immortalize your feats! When you lose a life, you start again in the last place where he took a picture of you.
If the battery has expired, the Save functions appear to work normally, when in fact they are not. For more information about the battery and the Memory, please refer to the manual that came with your Sega Saturn console.
•
Pressing B while you are on the map of Rayman's world brings you back to the Options screen.
•
By pressing START and the A, B, and C buttons all at the same time while on this screen, you can manually reboot (restart) your Rayman game.

RUNNING
This power-up allows you to move faster and build up speed to jump further. To activate it, press "A" while you're walking.
GRABBING FIST
Allows Rayman to hang onto and swing on flying rings, and pull bonus icons towards himself. Use the same button as the telescopic fist (B).

POWERS
They symbolize Rayman's energy reserves. He starts with 3, can gain or lose them, and runs out means losing a life. Single, double, and Big Powers provide increasing energy points.
LIVES
Collect them as they come in handy when facing enemies.
SPEED-UPS
They increase the speed of the punching fist. There are 3 different speeds available.
THE GOLDEN FIST
Increases the power of Rayman's blows. Note that the fist loses its power and speed each time it is hit by an enemy.
