Rayman 2: The Great Escape

Story

Rayman 2 takes place in a world called the Glade of Dreams. An army of robot pirates, led by Admiral Razorbeard, invades this world and destroys the heart of the world, the core of the world. This greatly weakens the power of the Resistance and disables Rayman's powers, leading to his capture[9]. Globox, a friend of Rayman, is also later captured and put in the same cell as Rayman on the pirates' prison ship. Globox gives Rayman a silver lum he received from the fairy Ly, which restores his powers. Rayman escapes from the prison ship and gets separated from Globox again. He learns that in order to stand a chance against the pirates, he must find four ancient magical masks to awaken Polokus, the spirit of the world, which are hidden in secret and mysterious sanctuaries made up of the four elements of water/ice, earth/stone, fire, and air.[10] He travels through the Glade of Dreams via the Hall of Doors, a magical place connected to various locations in the world and controlled by the ancient Teensies.[10] During the course of the game, Rayman frees Globox, who had been recaptured, and they continue together for a short time until Globox sets out again to find his family. Later, Rayman finds Globox's wife Uglette and learns that he is being held prisoner on the prison ship. Rayman also meets his friend Clark, a strong man who has stomach problems because he ate rusty pirates; to continue the level, Rayman must cure Clark with the help of an elixir. Finally, Rayman finds the four masks again and awakens Polokus, who quickly finishes off the pirates on land. In the air, however, he is powerless and Rayman is tasked with destroying the pirates' flying prison ship, where Admiral Razorbeard also has his headquarters. In a final battle, Rayman fights Razorbeard, who controls a giant robot, the Grolgoth. Eventually Rayman destroys the robot and while Razorbeard escapes in a small escape pod, the prison ship explodes. Rayman is presumed dead and only one of his shoes is found, but during his funeral he reappears walking on a crutch.
