About the game
You guide Rayman, Globox and the Teensies through the Glade of Dreams to drive out the Darktoons. Running, jumping and gliding carry you across forests, icy food worlds and underwater passages. You collect Lums, search for hidden Electoons and chase treasure chests through obstacle courses. Some levels put you on a mosquito for a side-scrolling shooting section, while bosses test your movement and timing.
Up to four people play locally in one shared view. Friends can join or leave during the adventure, help clear the route and accidentally hit a teammate while trying to clear the way. Frequent checkpoints keep ordinary failures short, but optional treasure chases demand precise runs. Collecting enough rewards opens later levels. The campaign also teaches you new movement abilities. It suits a group happy to retry jumps together and search for secrets.
