This is my first FAQ for GameFAQs, so if you're reading this, it got posted. Rayman Advanced is a splendid game from Ubi Soft, and it mixes great graphics with stellar gameplay. The game looks exact- ly like the first one on the PSX. I hope you find this FAQ helpful in every way possible. Hopefully, it will help you enjoy the game as much as I did. The game is very long, and also very addictive, so it will last you a long time. Now, enough with this-onto the FAQ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Updates -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/24/01-Version 1.2 is up, and it didn't take too long. The Walkthrough and Electoon Cages section have the Dream Forest world fully completed. I made the level layouts easier to read, by making actual "Fairy Stages" where you receive gifts from the fairy seperate from the gameplay stages. This works better with the electoon cages guide. I also fixed some minor bugs and errors. 6/22/01-Finished version 1.1 of this FAQ. I filled in everything pretty well except the walkthrough and electoon cages, but I'm still working on those. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Characters -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The characters in this game look absolutely stunning, but you also need to know who they are. Some actually get pretty confusing after a while, so here's something to help you out. Rayman-The limbless hero, Rayman returns to save another world from destruction. He needs to be granted abilities from people in order to advance in the game. The Magician-The Magician is a mysterious creature who first brings you to the land. If you find him in stages, you can pay him 10 Tings to enter a bonus stage to compete for an extra life. Betilla the Fairy-This fairy is found is various stages throughout the game. She grants Rayman different abilities for different tasks. The Photographer-A very useful character, he can take your picture, which will act as a continue point if you die in that stage. Tarayzan-This Jurassic Age person has misplaced his clothes. Return them to him and he will grant you a power to grow plants to use as stepping stones to avoid the rising water. The Musician-This man is singing the blues since he lost his guitar. Return it to him, and he'll give you a magic flask, enabling you to fly for that stage! Joe the Extra-Terrestrial-This alien gives Rayman the firefly ability to light up dark caves around his house. Flying Blue Elves-These little fairies can shrink you and return you to your normal size to pass obstacles and tight spaces. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Bosses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the end of every world, there's a boss (duh). Some will give you more trouble then others. Many times you will meet the boss in other stages before the battle, where you may be able to inflict damage on him that will carry over to the boss battle(like Mr. Sax). Moskito-You will fight him in the second level of the Dream Forest for the first time, but the actual fight takes place in the fourth level. Simply punch him to cause damage. When he carries little spiked balls, punch him to make him lose the ball. When he has big ones, simply walk under them when they're in the air, and continue attacking. Mr. Sax-In the fourth level of the Band Land world, you will be able to inflict 2-3 hits before actually fighting Mr. Sax. Punch his NORMAL size notes back at him. When he shoots a big note in the air, duck to avoid it exploding and releasing little notes that will hurt you. Sometimes he will throw a note bomb on the ground, which is when you should use your helicopter ability. When he tries to jump on you, run under him to the other side. Mr. Stone-At the beginning of the battle, run to the left, jump on the boulder, jump up, grab the power-up, and punch the smiley face. It will hit him. Now use you heli- copter to fly to the other side. Avoid the rocks that fall on you. When he has a boulder in his hands, punch it to make him drop it, then use it to punch the face. Space Mama-Space Mama will mainly shoot lasers at you, which you need to crawl and run from to stay alive. After you dodge some of her hits, punch her in the head, but make sure she doesn't block it. Destroy her washing machine when she uses it for a shield. More soon........ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) Worlds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dream Forest-This world consists of the Pink Plant Woods, the Anguish Lagoon, Swamps of Forgetfulness, and Moskito's Ness. You'll meet up with Betilla the Fairy twice here, where she grants you the telescopic fist and grappling ability. Rayman will also meet the seed-loving naked Tarayzan. Band Land-Explore shakers, notes, broken music scores, drums, and other instruments in Bongo Hills,Allergo Presto, Gong Heights, and Mr. Sax's Hillaballoo. Here, Betilla the Fairy will grant you the hanging power. Blue Montains-Dodge spikes, boulders and other hazards in the Twilight Gulch, Hard Rocks, and Mr. Stone's Peak. The musician will grant Rayman a flying power for finding his guitar, and Betilla will bestow a running ability on you after hammering Mr. Stone. Picture City-Be creative in the Eraser Plains, Pencil Pentathlon, and Space Mama's Crater. Dodge the ying-yangs and swing from hoop to hoop over bottomless pits. Caves of Skops-Meet up with aliens in the Crystal Palace, Eat at Joe's, and Mr. Skop's Stalactites. Meet up with Joe the Extra-Terrestrial to be given the Firefly ability, which will allow you to explore dark caves. Candy Chateau-Congraluations! You've collected every Electoon and have made it to the final area. Face off with Mr. Dark here, and images of Mr. Skops, Space Mama, and Moskito. It's all or nothing in a battle for all the worlds! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) Special Abilities -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Telescopic Fist-This power is given to Rayman at the pink Plant woods level in the Dream forest.

It lets you hang from the edge of a cliff of an object. Magic Seed-Tarayzan gives you this when you return his clothes in the Swamps of Forget- fulness. Press the R button to plant a seed. Grappling-Betilla the Fairy grants Rayman the grappling ability after beating Moskito in the Moskito's Nest level in the Dream Forest. Simply punch when you're close to a pink hoop to swing from it. Helicopter-Rayman receives a hair-involving ability at the end of the Allergo Presto level in Band Land. Tap A while in the air to execute this move. Super Helicopter-Returning the guitar to the musician in Mr. Stone's peak in the Blue Mountains World will give Rayman the ability to fly. Keep tapping A while in the air to fly higher. Running-After beating Mr. Stone in the Blue Mountain world, Betilla will bestow Rayman with a running ability. Hold R while walking to run. Firefly-Joe the Extra-Terrestrial will give you this ability to light caves in the "Eat at Joe's" level in the Caves of Skops world.
