'''The Dark Chimera''' is a boss in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. It is a creation of [[Mr Dark]], which the latter sets upon [[Rayman]] at the end of {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}. The Dark Chimera is as a series of ''amalgamations'' - each combining various aspects of appearance and attack patterns of two or three of the major bosses previously encountered, and defeated by [[Rayman]].

==The Battle==

===Phase 1===
[[Rayman]] battles an amalgamation of [[Mr Skops]]' head and claw, with [[Mr Stone]]'s body. He must jump over the claw that's launched at him, and throw his fist at the face while it cannot be protected by the claw.

===Phase 2===
[[Rayman]] meets an amalgamation of [[the Menace]] and [[Space Mama]], which also sports [[Mr Skops]]' clawed feet. He must jump over it as it rolls across the screen, avoid both the boiling pot and the laser, and throw his fist at the creature as it clings to a wall.

===Phase 3===
[[Rayman]] is challenged by a pair of airborne creatures with [[Moskito]] bodies and [[Space Mama]] heads, hands and lasers. Avoiding the lasers coming at him from both directions, [[Rayman]] can either throw his fist at the amalgamations, or try to let them hit each other with the laser. It does not matter which creature is being hit - landing 4 successful hits will defeat the duo.

===Phase 4===
[[Rayman]] encounters an airborne amalgamation of [[Moskito]]'s head and [[Mr Skops]]' long scorpion tail. The creature attacks with [[Mr Skops]]' energy projectiles, which follow [[Rayman]]'s fist. Launching the fist with very precise timing will cause the projectiles to explode at the creature's head, harming it. However, it is easier to simply throw the fist four times to avoid damage, then hit the creature in mid-air as it performs [[Moskito]]'s flying dash across the screen.

===Phase 5===
[[Rayman]] is assaulted by an amalgamation of [[Mr Stone]]'s head and feet, and [[Mr Sax]]'s body, which launches changing sequences of musical bombs and exploding rocks out of the saxophone. If [[Rayman]] survives the barrage, eventually a plain wrong note will be launched, which can be hit with the fist to push it back into the enemy and damage it.

===Phase 6===
[[Rayman]] duels with an amalgamation of [[Moskito]]'s head, [[Space Mama]]'s body and [[Mr Sax]]'s feet. Its only attack is jumping in the air, attempting to land on [[Rayman]] and squash him. [[Rayman]] must avoid it, jump and throw his fist at the creature's head to hurt it.

==Trivia==
* The battle with the Dark Chimera is a homage to the final battle of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game}}, where [[Rayman]] was also battling similar creatures fused of different parts of several bosses.
* In ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', it was never clearly explained whether the creatures are [[Mr Dark]]'s creations or him transforming into his alternate forms. Two pieces of evidence that may point to the latter are the boss health bar which shows a picture of [[Mr Dark]], and the fact that [[Mr Dark]] himself is nowhere to be seen after the battle. ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', however, makes it clear that the Dark Chimera (although unnamed in the game) is created by [[Mr Dark]], who announces it openly. Furthermore, if [[Rayman]] defeats all the amalgamations, he will have to battle [[Mr Dark]] himself.
* The Dark Chimera presents a total of six different forms. The first, third, and sixth form are reincarnations of the three forms in the final battle of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original game}}. The second, fourth and fifths are new. However, as each form in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' has half the hitpoints - their total number remains the same, at 24. Instead of having three separate life bars of 8 points each, like in {{rw|''Rayman 1''}}, a single 24-point bar is presented. The image on the bar shows a grotesque jumble of eyeballs of different sizes and colors.
* The stained glass windows depicting the five original bosses have been augmented with a six one at the top, showing [[the Menace]]. The subset of images related to a specific amalgamation will flash when it appears and every time it is damaged.
* Unlike in the original {{rw|Mr Dark's Dare}}, [[Rayman]] is not shrunk during the final phase against the [[Moskito]] - [[Space Mama]] - [[Mr Sax]] hybrid, nor is he thrown into the air each time the creature lands on the ground.

Rayman Redemption

[[File:Rayman Redemption Cover Art.jpg|thumb]]

'''''Rayman Redemption''''' is an unofficial remake and reimagining of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game}}, made by [[Ryemanni]] and released in 2020 for PCs running Microsoft Windows. Its final update, version 1.1.4, was released later the same year.

This reimagined version of ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'' features nearly all content from that game and focuses on expanding it as well as refining its gameplay, story and difficulty.

The graphics remain mostly the same, using assets from ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', its ports and prototype versions, as well as spin-offs, such as ''{{rw|Rayman Designer}}''. Additionally, entirely new assets were created in the style of the original game. ''Rayman Redemption'' adds support for widescreen view and modern screen resolutions. While classic 4:3 is supported, the reduced visible range in this mode makes some locations awkward.

The soundtrack from {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}} remains intact aside from a few exclusions, and many additional tracks and sound effects were added. One tune returns in stereo format from [[Ryemanni]]'s earlier game - ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''.

Noteworthy changes include an entire new world known as [[Playtopia]], new levels in most returning worlds, expanded and unified level design, new enemies and bosses including a true showdown with [[Mr Dark]], customization through skins or [[Ting]] sound effects, new objects and power-ups, and [[Rayman]] starting with all of his abilities unlocked. A system of {{rr|achievement}}s and accompanying bonuses is present.

''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', a game acting as a stand-alone level editor to ''Rayman Redemption'', was released in 2021 by [[Ryemanni]].

==Development==
[[File:Rayman Redemption Game Jolt Cover.png|thumb]]
[[Ryemanni]] (known on the forum as '''Raymanni''') announced the project in a {{rw|Rayman Pirate-Community}} forum thread <ref>https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=26167</ref> on 17th May, 2018. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Jolt Game Jolt] was chosen as the distribution platform with updates and notifications being posted throughout the game's development and for post-release updates <ref>https://gamejolt.com/games/raymanredemption/340532</ref>.

''Rayman Redemption'' uses the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameMaker GameMaker] engine. It has been verified to work on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11. A demo was released on 15 June, 2019, and the first full version on 19 June, 2020, after 3 years in development <ref>https://gamejolt.com/p/that-s-right-after-3-years-of-development-rayman-redemption-will-6nc8vfn6</ref>. The final build, 1.1.4, was published on 18 November, 2020.

==Plot==
[[File:Rayman Redemption Game Jolt Banner.png|thumb]]
Rayman Redemption's plot remains the same as ''[[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original game]]'', but with additions and some differences such as the inclusion of new characters, the [[Toontotem]]s and a greatly changed and expanded final part of the story involving [[Mr Dark]] and the [[Great Protoon]].

The game features every world and level from ''[[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original Rayman]]'', but also adds some new ones such as [[Playtopia]], {{rr|Final Showdown}} and {{rr|Dark Legacy}}.

==={{rr|The Dream Forest}}===
The first world of the game is the {{rr|The Dream Forest}}, a lush jungle. [[Rayman]]'s journey begins in a region known as {{rr|Pink Plant Woods}}, at the end of which he encounters [[Darktoon]] for the first time. The next stage is {{rr|Anguish Lagoon}}, where [[Rayman]] meets the {{rw|mosquito}} [[Bzzit]]. After a brief fight, [[Bzzit]] befriends [[Rayman]] and carries him to the end of the level. From here, Rayman can continue to {{rr|The Swamps of Forgetfulness}}. He will help [[Tarayzan]] regain his loincloth, and as a token of gratitude, will receive from him a [[Magic seed]] to help through the flood. The final section of the world is {{rr|Moskito's Nest}}, where [[Rayman]] battles [[Moskito]]. After the battle, [[Rayman]] reaches the first [[Toontotem]] and releases the [[Pink ring]]s.

==={{rr|Band Land}}===
The second world of the game is {{rr|Band Land}}, a landscape composed of music and musical instruments. The first region [[Rayman]] passes through is {{rr|Bongo Hills}}, an area relatively close to the ground, with many drum platforms. Next, he reaches {{rr|Allegro Presto}}, a location higher in the air, composed mainly of slippery sheet music. Climbing even higher, [[Rayman]] passes through {{rr|Gong Heights}}, high in the cloudy sky, en route to {{rr|Mr Sax's Hullaballoo}}, the final area of the world, where he battles [[Mr Sax]]. Optionally, [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]] can fly through [[Mosquitoes' Sonata]] - an area that combines the look, feel and obstacles of all levels in {{rr|Band Land}}.

==={{rr|Blue Mountains}}===
The third world of the game is the {{rr|Blue Mountains}}, a cold mountain range. The first level is {{rr|Twilight Gulch}}, where [[Rayman]] finds himself chased by [[Mr Stone]], the gigantic rock creature who is the boss of this region. The next area is {{rr|The Hard Rocks}}, inhabited by rock monsters of various kinds. After taking [[Bzzit]] on a ride through [[The Highest Peak]], [[Rayman]] continues to {{rr|Mr Stone's Peaks}}. He meets [[The Musician]] and helps him retrieve his guitar which was hidden by the rock monsters. [[The Musician]] rewards [[Rayman]] by the [[Super helicopter]] potion, critical for navigating through the spiky mazes of this area. At the end of the level, [[Rayman]] battles [[Mr Stone]]. Having defeated him, he continues to [[Tempest Terror]] high in the mountains, where it frequently snows. At the end, [[Rayman]] battles [[Darktoon]] for the second time and releases the [[Pink spring]]s from the second [[Toontotem]].

==={{rr|Picture City}}===
The fourth world of the game is {{rr|Picture City}}, a landscape composed of artwork and art supplies. The first level is {{rr|Eraser Plains}}, where [[Rayman]] encounters [[Space Mama|Viking Mama]] and her [[Pirate]] lackeys. Following that, [[Rayman]] will visit {{rr|Pencil Pentathlon}} and [[Art Block]], where he will battle [[Space Mama|Greek Mama]] and her [[Hoplite]]s. The last level is {{rr|Space Mama's Crater}}, where {[[Space Mama]] is fought in her final form. Optionally, [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]] can visit [[Riding the Rainbow]] and navigate through perilous pencils, spiky balls and pins.

==={{rr|The Caves of Skops}}===
The fifth world of the game is the {{rr|The Caves of Skops}}, a series of dark but colorful underground caverns. After passing through {{rr|Crystal Palace}}, [[Rayman]] meets [[Joe]] the Extra-Terrestrial at {{rr|Eat at Joe's}}. [[Joe]] gives [[Rayman]] a {{rr|Firefly}} to light up the dark caves. [[Rayman]] battles the [[Spider Master]] in the caves, and helps [[Joe]] restore power to his diner. [[Joe]] then blows up some beach balls to help [[Rayman]] across the water. [[Rayman]] then meets [[Mr Skops]], who knocks him down into the [[Molten Depths]]. Deep in the caves, [[Rayman]] battles [[Darktoon]] for the third and final time, unlocks the final [[Toontotem]] and releases the [[Pink pole]]s. After flying with [[Bzzit]] in [[Between a Rock and a Hard Place]], [[Rayman]] battles [[Mr Skops]] face to face in {{rr|Mr Skops' Stalactites}}.

===[[Playtopia]]===
The sixth world of the game is [[Playtopia]] and is one of ''Rayman Redemption'''s new locations, a landscape mostly composed of various toys. After making way through {{rr|Child's Play}} and [[The Playhouse]], [[Rayman]] enters [[The Lair of the Chessmaster]], and defeats the latter in a game of chess. The defeated [[The Chessmaster|Chessmaster]] gives [[Rayman]] the Master [[Key]], which unlocks the Master [[Door]] in [[Brain Games]] - a level filled with math puzzles (similar to {{rw|Rayman Junior}}). At the end of the level, [[Rayman]] fights the final boss of [[Playtopia]] - [[The Menace]].

==={{rr|Candy Château}}===
The seventh world of the game is {{rr|Candy Château}}, a landscape composed of sweets and crockery. In ''Rayman Redemption'', it has been expanded to a full-fledged world with multiple locations. After passing through [[Tasty Reception]], [[Rayman]] enters [[Choco Chambers]], where he meets [[the Clown Chef]]. For fixing his ice-cream machine, the chef give [[Rayman]] his sausage [[Frying pan]] to navigate the first part of the level. In the next part, Rayman finds the [[Super helicopter]] potion, and has to navigate a tricky maze with multiple [[Key]]s. Before the end of the level, [[Rayman]] is confronted my [[Mr Dark]], who sets a chocolate monster, known as [[Bad Cake]], on him. The next location, [[The Sweet Spot]] ends with a maze patrolled by walking [[Nougat]]. [[Rayman]] can take [[Bzzit]] on a flight through [[The Candy Armada]], fighting various [[Clown]]s and [[Lightning eyes]]. The final level of this world is {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}, like in [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original game]]. [[Rayman]] will have to slide on a [[Frying pan]], run from [[Dark Rayman]] on two separate occasions, and overcome[[Mr Dark]]'s spells affecting his abilities. Finally, he will fight [[Mr Dark]]'s amalgamation - [[the Dark Chimera]], and [[Mr Dark]] himself.

==={{rr|Final Showdown}}===
The eighth and final main world of the game is {{rr|Final Showdown}}, inspired by the {{rw|Rayman_1|the original game}}'s SNES prototype. After his defeat at the end of {{rr|Candy Château}}, [[Mr Dark]] escapes with the [[Great Protoon]], causing the entire [[The valley (Rayman Redemption)|world]] to start ripping from its seams. [[Rayman]] travels to [[The Lonely Cliff]] and is greeted by all the game's friendly characters, and also by [[Darktoon]] who has denounced [[Mr Dark]]. [[Betilla]] instructs [[Bzzit]] to carry [[Rayman]] to [[Mr Dark]]'s hiding place. To get there, they must survive an aerial battle with [[Dark Rayman]] on Dark [[Moskito]]. [[Bzzit]] leaves [[Rayman]] at the entrance to an eerie place of dark tendrils, as he is unable to fly through them. [[Rayman]] must traverse it on foot, avoiding [[Antitoon|regular]] and [[Giant Antitoon]]s. At the end of the level, a platform carries [[Rayman]] up to the final showdown with [[Mr Dark]]. [[Rayman]] defeats the sorcerer and releases the [[Great Protoon]] from its clutches, restoring order to the [[The valley (Rayman Redemption)|world]].

==={{rr|Dark Legacy}}===
A bonus ninth world was added in ''Rayman Redemption'', inspired by [[raywiki:Dark Legacy|the world of the same name]] from [[raywiki:Rayman_(Game_Boy_Color)|the Game Boy Color version of Rayman]]. It consists of a single level, filled with spiky vines, fruit and platforms, and inhabited by [[Stone man|Stone men]] and [[Spider]]s. Successfully navigating through this hostile environment unlocks the {{rr|Breakout Minigame}}.

===Extra===
Additional zones available in ''Rayman Redemption'' are unlocked throughout the adventure. This includes the [[Magician's Challenges]], {{rr|Betilla's Garden}}, [[The Shop]], [[Joe's Wares]], [[the Casino]] and the {{rr|Breakout Minigame}}. It also includes [[Dark Magician's Challenge]], one of the Magician's bonus levels, which is its own small bonus world and a throwback to Flint Jail from [[Rayman The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]].

==Gameplay==
Just like {{rw|Rayman 1}} and [[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]], ''Rayman Redemption'' is a 2D side-scrolling platform game.
The game takes place in a valley which is made up of nine different worlds. Some worlds are reimagined areas from {{rw|Rayman 1}}, others are new, often inspired by locations from [[raywiki:Rayman (series)|other Rayman games]]. The worlds are a mix of natural environments (the {{rr|Dream Forest}}, {{rr|Blue Mountains}}, the {{rr|Caves of Skops}} and {{rr|Dark Legacy}}) and imaginary ones ({{rr|Band Land}}, {{rr|Picture City}}, [[Playtopia]] and the {{rr|Candy Château}}).

The seven main worlds are divided into four primary levels, each with six [[Electoon]] [[cage]]s to find. New collectibles were added - [[Magician token]]s and hidden [[Gift]]s. Most worlds include bonus levels and extra locations. Unlike in {{rw|Rayman 1}}, breaking all cages is not mandatory to access {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}, the {{rr|Final Showdown}} or the end credits; however, it is required to open the bonus world - {{rr|Dark Legacy}}. [[Magician token]]s give access to special [[Magician's Challenges]], and all of them are required to access the last of those challenges - [[True Boss Rush]].

''Rayman Redemption'' features three modes acting as a permanent difficulty setting for a save file: Classic, Casual, and Demise, the latter introduced in version 1.1.0.
* Classic behaves similarly to [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original Rayman]], with limited lives. However, unlike {{rw|Rayman 1}}, [[Life|extra lives]] reappear whenever levels are replayed, making their "farming" easier.
* Casual is a modern mode giving the player infinite lives. In this mode, [[Life|lives]] cannot be bought in [[the Shop]] and will give the player some [[Ting]]s instead when collected.
* Demise is a difficult mode introduced to challenge the player to the best of their abilities. In this mode, [[Life|lives]] are limited, and can only be recovered by buying them in [[the Shop]]. [[Rayman]] starts with only one life point, instead of the normal three. However, upgrades in {{rr|Betilla's Garden}} still work, so a maximum of five default health points can be reached. {{rr|Big Power}}s and [[Life|lives]] found in the levels are rigged, damaging or killing [[Rayman]] when he touches them. [[List of cheats in Rayman Redemption|Cheat codes]] and mid-level checkpoints are also disabled, although the latter are still visible in levels and can be customized as usual. In this mode, the game is far more difficult, and some {{rr|achievement}}s and extra {{rr|skin}}s cannot be unlocked normally.

===Replays===
All levels can be replayed an unlimited number of times, in any order. Unlike [[raywiki:Rayman_1|the original game]], all boss segments, dialogs and story events are always accessible in replays, excluding a few such as the corrupted version of [[The Lonely Cliff]].
[[Cage]]s that have been broken will reappear as golden empty cages, awarding [[Rayman]] some [[Ting]]s instead when broken. [[Gift]]s and [[Magician token]]s that have already been obtained reappear as transparent versions of themselves, but won't reward [[Rayman]] with anything when collected. Unlike {{rw|Rayman 1}}, [[Extra life|lives]] respawn later in levels and the player has infinite continues, making it far easier to keep a high number of lives.

In some cases, backtracking is necessary, because certain items are out of reach until [[Rayman]] frees some particular [[Pink helper]]s. [[Pink helper]]s that have not yet been freed appear in their would-be locations as transparent versions of themselves, thus serving as indications to the player as to which areas will need to be revisited.

==List of powers and power-ups==
In ''Rayman Redemption'', [[Rayman]] starts with all of his abilities from the original game, including the [[grimace]] and [[running]] powers, which are now assigned to separate buttons and are no longer mutually exclusive.
Access to new areas is gained by freeing the [[Pink helper]]s and interacting with them. [[Rayman]] will also receive new permanent upgrades and temporary power-ups along the game. [[The Shop|Shop]] upgrades can be turned off in the game's settings.

===Permanent abilities===
* [[Grimace]]: [[Rayman]] can grimace to get rid of tall [[Livingstone]]s which are scared of this. An {{rr|achievement}} is also tied to this ability.
* [[Telescopic fist]]: [[Rayman]]'s main power, which allows him to punch enemies to defeat them. It can be temporarily powered up by [[Golden Fist]]s and [[Speed Fist]]s.
* [[Hanging]]: Allows [[Rayman]] to hang onto ledges.
* [[Grappling fist]]: [[Rayman]] can use his fist to grapple onto [[Flying ring]]s which are scattered around the place, allowing him to reach high places and cross wide gaps. He can also use it to grab [[Life|lives]] from afar.
* [[Helicopter]]: [[Rayman]] can use his odd-looking hair as a helicopter which allows him to glide down, extending his jump range. Unlike {{rw|Rayman 1|the original game}}, [[Rayman]] can glide indefinitely, similarly to its sequels. The activation mode of the [[Helicopter]] (tap, like in ''{{rw|Rayman 2}}'' or hold, like in ''{{rw|Rayman 3}}'') can be configured in the game's options.
* [[Running]]: [[Rayman]]'s ability to move faster than walking. It also makes his jumps a lot longer and faster.

===Shop power-ups===
All shop upgrades, once bought, stay until the end of the game.

* [[Ting magnet]]: Allows [[Rayman]] to attract Tings which are very near to him.
* Better [[Power|power-ups]]: A [[The Shop|shop]] upgrade which gives [[Rayman]] more extra health when collecting a Big Power.
* [[Cage locator]]: Bought at [[Joe's Wares]], it points at cages located in the current section of a level.
* [[Item locator]]: Bought at [[Joe's Wares]], it points at [[Magician token]]s and [[gift]]s located in the current section of a level.

===[[Pink helper]]s===
* [[Pink ring]]s: Imprisoned in {{rr|the Dream Forest}} [[Toontotem]]. Freeing them allows [[Rayman]] to grapple to them.
* [[Pink spring]]s: Imprisoned in the {{rr|Blue Mountains}} [[Toontotem]]. Freeing them allows [[Rayman]] to bounce on them, similarly to other bouncy surfaces.
* [[Pink pole]]s: Imprisoned in {{rr|the Caves of Skops}} [[Toontotem]]. Freeing them allows [[Rayman]] to climb on them, similarly to vines.

===Temporary power-ups===
* [[Magic seed]]: Given to [[Rayman]] by [[Tarayzan]], and later found in some specific areas, [[Rayman]] plants seeds to help him reach ledges and escape floods or rising lava.
* [[Super helicopter]]: A potion that allows [[Rayman]] to fly with his [[helicopter]] hair. Given to him by [[the Musician]], and later appears in specific area.
* [[Paint fist]]: Allowing [[Rayman]] to create temporary platforms out of paint on some background walls.
* [[Key]]s: Four colored keys, allowing [[Rayman]] to open matching doors.
* [[Master key]]: A unique key necessary to get past the [[Master Door]] in {{rr|Brain Games}}.
* [[Invincibility]]: Granted by the [[Great Protoon]] after [[Mr Dark]]'s defeat, making [[Rayman]] invincible and his touch deadly to any enemies.
* [[Shrinking]]: Touching [[Flying blue elf|Blue elves]] makes [[Rayman]] tiny, which is useful for accessing areas which were too small for normal-sized [[Rayman]] to go through. He returns to normal size when he touches another [[Flying blue elf]].

===Recurring collectibles===
* [[Ting]]s: Small blue bubbles used as a currency in the shops. Unlike in ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', they are not automatically converted into [[Life|extra lives]], and so a large number can be accumulated (which is required for a specific {{rr|achievement}}).
* [[Ting#Rainbow_tings|Rainbow Ting]]s: Yield 9 [[Ting]]s when grabbed.
* [[Power]]s: Come as a small red atom with a P on the front, or a large red one - the former gives [[Rayman]] one or two units of health, while the latter replenishes his entire health and gives extra health points (reset if [[Rayman]] loses a [[life]]). Differently from {{rw|Rayman 1|the original game}}, big powers can keep increasing [[Rayman]]'s health even further if he collects more. Big powers are rigged in Demise mode, damaging [[Rayman]] upon touch.
* [[Speed Fist]]: Allows [[Rayman]]'s fist to fly faster and further than normal. Up to three upgrades can be stacked at the same time - additional ones have no effect. Losing a [[life]] drops the speed by one level. Speed power-ups also affect [[Bzzit]]'s projectiles.
* [[Golden Fist]]: Turns [[Rayman]]'s fist golden and doubles its power. Also affect [[Bzzit]]'s projectiles.
* [[Golden power]] combines the effect of the big [[power]] (with additional health points), the [[Golden Fist]] and triple [[Speed Fist]].
* [[Life|Life]]: Gives [[Rayman]] an extra life, as well as restoring his entire health. They are rigged in Demise mode, killing [[Rayman]] upon touch.

==Characters==
[[File:Rayman1Group.PNG|frame|class=sprite|The final epilogue image displayed at the end of the game shows [[Rayman]] with all his friends.]]
Throughout the game, [[Rayman]] meets an array of different characters, some of which aid him through his journey.

*'''[[The Gamemaster]]:''' One of [[Space Mama]]'s pirates turned good, and who's in charge of [[the Casino]]. He allows [[Rayman]] to gamble his [[Ting]]s, which can earn him more or some limited rewards such as skins and [[Magician token]]s.

===Enemies===
*'''[[Darktoon]]:''' A recurring boss, met several times throughout the game. He claims to have been sent directly by [[Mr Dark]] to hinder [[Rayman]]'s progress. After being repeatedly defeated, he falls into disfavor with [[Mr Dark]], who takes away all of [[Darktoon]]'s powers.

*'''[[Mr Skops]]:''' A giant scorpion who is the boss of {{rr|the Caves of Skops}}. He attacks with his giant claws and tail, which can string [[Rayman]] as well as shoot homing beams.
*'''[[Master Door]]:''' A snob sentient door blocking [[Rayman]]'s path in [[Brain Games]], requesting his [[Master Key]] guarded by [[the Chessmaster]] to let [[Rayman]] get past it.
*'''[[The Chessmaster]]:''' He awaits [[Rayman]] inside his own [[The Lair of the Chessmaster|lair]] in [[Playtopia]] and challenges him to a game of chess, while smoking a cigar. Attacks [[Rayman]] either by summoning [[Chess piece]] minions, or hurling his bow tie at him. He is the only boss who is never attacked directly, but reluctantly surrenders after being checkmated by [[Rayman]], pretending [[Rayman]] didn't earn his victory as he wasn't playing fair.
*'''[[The Menace]]:''' The boss of [[Playtopia]], he is a green mischievous monkey-like creature who attacks by clinging to the wall and hurling explosive balloons at [[Rayman]], or simply spinning around the arena.

*'''[[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]]''': A dark version of [[Moskito]] accompanying [[Dark Rayman]] in their air battle against [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]] en route to [[the End of the World]], also available as a skin for [[Bzzit]] and replacing [[Moskito]] in [[True Boss Rush]].
*'''[[Bad Cake]]''': A chocolate monster awaiting [[Rayman]] at the end of [[Choco Chambers]], this one lives inside a pool of hot chocolate, with only its eyes visible. [[Rayman]] must drop fruit onto the [[Bad Cake]], while avoiding its projectiles and the rising flow of chocolate.
*'''[[The Dark Chimera]]''': A mixture of every major boss [[Rayman]] has previously faced, created by [[Mr Dark]] to challenge [[Rayman]]. It takes six different forms with each combining two bosses, aside from the second and final ones mixing three of them. The first is a hybrid of [[Mr Stone]] and [[Mr Skops]], the second mixes [[Space Mama]] to [[Mr Skops]] and [[The Menace]], the third is an amalgamation of [[Moskito]] and [[Space Mama]], the fourth combines [[Moskito]] and [[Mr Skops]], the fifth is a mixture of [[Mr Sax]] and [[Mr Stone]], while the final sixth one takes the combined form of [[Moskito]], [[Mr Sax]] and [[Space Mama]].
*'''[[Mr Dark]]:''' The main antagonist of the game, who stole the [[Great Protoon]]. He first attempts to slow down [[Rayman]]'s progress through the {{rr|Candy Château}} with various spells, then sets his [[The Dark Chimera|Dark Chimera]] amalgamation on him, and only after it is beaten, fights [[Rayman]] directly. If [[Rayman]] manages to defeat him, [[Mr Dark]] escapes to [[the End of the World]], where [[Rayman]] must follow for the {{rr|Final Showdown}}.
*'''[[Dark Magician]]:''' The antagonist from [[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]] makes a brief secret appearance in the game, rewarding [[Rayman]] with a skin if he successfully break every cage in his [[Dark Magician's Challenge|challenge]].

==Levels==
[[File:RaymanRedemption-WorldMap-Restored.png|480px|thumb|left|frame|class=sprite|The world map of ''Rayman Redemption'']]

The game contains 37 levels, split across 9 worlds. 6 of the worlds are returning from {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}, and 3 are new. Of the new worlds, one is a normal world, one contains the final showdown of the game, and the final one is a bonus world, consisting only of a single, hard level, which is unlocked if the player manages to beat all prior levels, while breaking all the [[Cage]]s. The total number of levels and content is more than double that of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original game}}.

In each of the returning worlds, all original levels are present. Each level in '''Rayman Redemption''' is a reimagination of the corresponding level of ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', with recognizable design and changes on top of it, usually expanding the level. Many worlds have entirely new levels. In ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', {{rw|The Dream Forest}} and {{rw|Band Land}} contained 4 levels each, while the later worlds had 3. ''Rayman Redemption'' adds additional levels, so that all the worlds now have exactly 4 main levels, including the new one - [[Playtopia]].

Most worlds after the first have new levels, where [[Rayman]] is riding [[Bzzit]], similar to the section in {{rw|Anguish Lagoon}}. These levels are optional and their completion is not required for story mode, but they contain extra [[Magician token]]s, which unlock additional challenges. Some of them contain custom skin collectibles for [[Bzzit]].

All of the [[raywiki:Bonus level (Rayman 1)|Magician's bonus levels]] have been removed from the levels, and replaced with harder and more varied [[Magician's Challenges]]. Access to the challenges is granted by collecting a certain number of [[Magician token]]s in the regular levels. The final three challenges include a throwback to the [[Flint Jail]] world from ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', and two "boss rushes" - a regular and a hard one.

The levels are laid out on a map of {{rr|The valley}}, similar to that of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}, with additional areas for the new worlds. Special points on the map exist for extra sections, where the player can purchase upgrades, or access the [[Magician's Challenges]]. The {{rr|Breakout Minigame}}, which opens up after completing [[The Final Challenge]], now has its own icon on the map, instead of requiring a [[raywiki:List_of_cheats_in_Rayman_1|cheat code]].

Notes:
* [[The Lonely Cliff]] has two different variations, with the second one only being available during the end of the story when [[Mr Dark]] corrupts the world map.
* The game automatically saves the player's progress each time a level is completed or exited. Thus, the special save icons present on the map of ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'' have been removed and replaced by the extra locations, as they serve no purpose.

==Soundtrack==
The game features most of [[raywiki:Rayman_1#Sony_PlayStation|''Rayman 1'''s PlayStation soundtrack]], as well as some sounds and music taken from other games such as the main theme from the [[raywiki:Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar version of ''Rayman'']].
The new tracks of ''Rayman Redemption'' were composed by [[Ryemanni]], some of which are inspired by some pieces from a few versions of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}. This new soundtrack has been made available to download on the game's [https://gamejolt.com/games/raymanredemption/340532 Game Jolt page] page, including three early versions of some tracks as an extra.

==Reception==
Rayman Redemption was received extremely favorably, being regarded by many players as one of the best [[raywiki:Rayman (series)|Rayman]] games both fan-made and official, and one of the best fan-made games in general. Informally, it is considered as "the ultimate version of ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}''".

Criticism tends to focus on the difficulty of the final worlds and some of the bonus challenges or {{rr|achievement}}s. However, most of the game is viewed as considerably easier than {{rw|Rayman 1|the original}}, and it is often recommended to new players as the least frustrating introduction to the ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'' experience.

Some gameplay elements were criticized too, such as the new physics of the [[super helicopter]]<ref>https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1415297#p1415297</ref> and the [[flying ring]]s,<ref>https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1427162#p1427162</ref> as well as the perceived inaccuracy of the newly introduced [[golden ring]]s.<ref>https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1415243#p1415243</ref> Additionally, the new graphic assets such as those used for [[Playtopia]] were deemed to be of lower quality than those of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original game}}.<ref>https://www.grospixels.com/site/rayre.php</ref>

| species = Various
| appears in = ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''

'''The Dark Chimera''' is a boss in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. It is a creation of [[Mr Dark]], which the latter sets upon [[Rayman]] at the end of {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}. The Dark Chimera is as a series of ''amalgamations'' - each combining various aspects of appearance and attack patterns of two or three of the major bosses previously encountered, and defeated by [[Rayman]].

==The Battle==

===Phase 1===
[[Rayman]] battles an amalgamation of [[Mr Skops]]' head and claw, with [[Mr Stone]]'s body. He must jump over the claw that's launched at him, and throw his fist at the face while it cannot be protected by the claw.

===Phase 2===
[[Rayman]] meets an amalgamation of [[the Menace]] and [[Space Mama]], which also sports [[Mr Skops]]' clawed feet. He must jump over it as it rolls across the screen, avoid both the boiling pot and the laser, and throw his fist at the creature as it clings to a wall.

===Phase 3===
[[Rayman]] is challenged by a pair of airborne creatures with [[Moskito]] bodies and [[Space Mama]] heads, hands and lasers. Avoiding the lasers coming at him from both directions, [[Rayman]] can either throw his fist at the amalgamations, or try to let them hit each other with the laser. It does not matter which creature is being hit - landing 4 successful hits will defeat the duo.

===Phase 4===
[[Rayman]] encounters an airborne amalgamation of [[Moskito]]'s head and [[Mr Skops]]' long scorpion tail. The creature attacks with [[Mr Skops]]' energy projectiles, which follow [[Rayman]]'s fist. Launching the fist with very precise timing will cause the projectiles to explode at the creature's head, harming it. However, it is easier to simply throw the fist four times to avoid damage, then hit the creature in mid-air as it performs [[Moskito]]'s flying dash across the screen.

===Phase 5===
[[Rayman]] is assaulted by an amalgamation of [[Mr Stone]]'s head and feet, and [[Mr Sax]]'s body, which launches changing sequences of musical bombs and exploding rocks out of the saxophone. If [[Rayman]] survives the barrage, eventually a plain wrong note will be launched, which can be hit with the fist to push it back into the enemy and damage it.

===Phase 6===
[[Rayman]] duels with an amalgamation of [[Moskito]]'s head, [[Space Mama]]'s body and [[Mr Sax]]'s feet. Its only attack is jumping in the air, attempting to land on [[Rayman]] and squash him. [[Rayman]] must avoid it, jump and throw his fist at the creature's head to hurt it.

==Trivia==
* The battle with the Dark Chimera is a homage to the final battle of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game}}, where [[Rayman]] was also battling similar creatures fused of different parts of several bosses.
* In ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', it was never clearly explained whether the creatures are [[Mr Dark]]'s creations or him transforming into his alternate forms. Two pieces of evidence that may point to the latter are the boss health bar which shows a picture of [[Mr Dark]], and the fact that [[Mr Dark]] himself is nowhere to be seen after the battle. ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', however, makes it clear that the Dark Chimera (although unnamed in the game) is created by [[Mr Dark]], who announces it openly. Furthermore, if [[Rayman]] defeats all the amalgamations, he will have to battle [[Mr Dark]] himself.
* The Dark Chimera presents a total of six different forms. The first, third, and sixth form are reincarnations of the three forms in the final battle of {{rw|Rayman 1|the original game}}. The second, fourth and fifths are new. However, as each form in [[Rayman Redemption]] has half the hitpoints - their total number remains the same, at 24. Instead of having three separate life bars of 8 points each, like in {{rw|''Rayman 1''}}, a single 24-point bar is presented. The image on the bar shows a grotesque jumble of eyeballs of different sizes and colors.
* The stained glass windows depicting the five original bosses have been augmented with a six one at the top, showing [[the Menace]]. The subset of images related to a specific amalgamation will flash when it appears and every time it is damaged.
* Unlike in the original {{rw|Mr Dark's Dare}}, [[Rayman]] is not shrunk during the final phase against the [[Moskito]] - [[Space Mama]] - [[Mr Sax]] hybrid, nor is he thrown into the air each time the creature lands on the ground.

}}

'''Bad Cake''' is a mini-boss in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. It appears in [[Choco Chambers]], where it is brought to life inside a pool of hot chocolate, by [[Mr Dark]]'s spell. It looks like a pair of chocolate-covered eyeballs, and makes growling noises. Bad Cake triggers a perpetually-rising flood of chocolate, which [[Rayman]] must avoid by climbing higher and higher.

In the first phase of the encounter, Bad Cake is invulnerable, and the level plays like a regular flood level, with [[Rayman]] jumping and climbing platforms, avoiding various enemies in order to reach the [[Exit sign]].

In the second phase, [[Rayman]] combats Bad Cake directly, while navigating chocolate-shaped platforms amidst a continuously rising chocolate flood. Every so often, a piece of fruit (strawberry or raspberry) suspended on a rope will traverse the screen. If [[Rayman]] throws his fist at the fruit, it will fall down. If a fruit hits Bad Cake, it will submerge for a few seconds, and launch a series of 6 chocolate projectiles at [[Rayman]] before resurfacing. Dropping the fruit in the chocolate so that it misses Bad Cake has no effect. After being hit six times, Bad Cake sinks into the chocolate and the level is finished.

{{stub}}

'''''Rayman AFG''''', short for ''Rayman: Another Fangame'', is a [[Rayman]] fangame. The development is led by an individual known as Lucky3.

''Rayman AFG'' is a 3D platformer taking place after {{rw|''Rayman 1''}} and having only limbless characters. Only the forest environment levels are finished.

==Plot==
[[Mr Dark]] has been defeated, but someone or something is using [[Mr Dark]]'s laboratory to play with his magic things, resulting in the respawn of previously defeated evil creatures.

True Boss Rush

2023-12-09T08:13:25Z

Dr＿st: Add gallery

{{stub}}

'''True Boss Rush''' is the last of the [[Magician's Challenges]] in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. It requires to beat [[The End of the World]] and to own 40 [[Magician token]]s to unlock, the last of which is only granted upon completion of the penultimate challenge - [[Boss Rush]].

In this challenge, [[Rayman]] must defeat all 21 of the main bosses and sub-bosses of the game, as well as [[Mr_Dark#As_Darkest_Mr_Dark|a secret boss]] acting as a second phase to [[Mr_Dark#As_Darker_Mr_Dark|Darker Mr Dark]]. The challenge must be completed on a single life, without dying, and the player is given only a single [[Super power]] and two [[Power|Big power]]s, to replenish [[Rayman]]'s health and power-up his [[Telescopic Fist|fist]] between fights.
All bosses have been recolored to look different, and have had their attack patterns modified to make them significantly harder. This, together with more than doubling the number of battles, makes '''True Boss Rush''' a far more difficult challenge than [[Boss Rush]].

Some battles aren't fought in the same order as throughout the main adventure, such as [[Bzzit]] being fought before the first [[Darktoon]] or [[Mr Sax]] being fought before the [[Mad drummer]]. A third form of [[Mr Dark]] and additional 22th boss, [[Mr_Dark#As_Darkest_Mr_Dark|Darkest Mr Dark]], must be defeated as well to complete the challenge. Succeeding will reward [[Rayman]] with the SNES skin and the True Hero achievement.

==Trivia==
* [[Bzzit]] takes the appearance of the Beeskito skin.
* [[Darktoon]]'s appearance is most likely inspired by the [[Antitoon|red Antitoons]] from ''{{rw|Rayman Designer}}'' who also appeared in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', while his purple cape might be a reference to [[Mr Dark]]'s appearance in {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 1''}}.
* The [[Tentacle flower]]'s colors are probably a reference to the green skin of the [[Livingstone]]s, who are spat by the boss.
* [[Moskito]] takes the same appearance as the [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] skin and boss featured in the [[Dark Rayman]] fight. [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] doesn't change his appearance in that battle, however.
* [[Mr Sax]] and the [[Mad drummer]]'s colors are probably a reference to the [[Wrong note]]s, which [[Mr Sax]] uses to attack. It also resembles some aesthetics from {{rr|Band Land}}.
* [[Mr Stone]]'s appearance is a reference to the [[Magma Man|Magma Men]] from {{rr|The Caves of Skops}}, even sharing their pound flame attack.
* [[Space Mama]]'s appearance in her Viking suit seem more similar to a pirate's outfit.
* [[Space Mama]]'s red and black colors in her space suit is most likely a reference to the hostile [[Alien]]s in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' and to Darth Vader, while her red lasers may reference his lightsaber.
* [[Mr Skops]]'s colors could be a reference to the [[Large-mouthed fish]].
* [[The Chessmaster]]'s color is probably a reference to the black pieces in chess, making him resemble more the [[Chess Piece]] enemies.
* [[The Menace]]'s colors alongside the original appearance of the twins match the four main colors of [[Playtopia]] and of the [[Key|Toykeys]], being blue, yellow, green and red. Curiously, [[The Menace|the red Menace]]'s tongue has the same shape as [[The Menace|the original green Menace]] in the True Boss Rush while it had a smaller shape in the original fight, thus changing more than the boss's colors and abilities.
* The stained glass in [[the Dark Chimera]]'s battle changes colors accordingly since version 1.1.2.
* [[Mr Dark]] and [[Dark Rayman]]'s colors are a tribute to their appearance in the {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 1''}}.
* If [[Rayman]] uses the [[Dark Rayman|GBC Dark Rayman]] skin during the fight with [[Dark Rayman]], the boss will return to his normal [[Dark Rayman]] appearance.
* [[Mr_Dark#As_Darker_Mr_Dark|Darker Mr Dark]]'s colors might be a reference to his appearance in ''{{rw|Rayman Junior}}''. Prior to version 1.1.0, this hard version of [[Mr Dark#As Darker Mr Dark|Darker Mr Dark]] didn't have a unique appearance.
