[[File:VIG PR4.png|frame|right|class=sprite|Artwork of a cage in {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game}}.]]

'''Cages''' are breakable objects which contain captive creatures such as [[Electoons]], who have been jailed within by enemy groups, such as [[Mr Dark]] and his minions.
Cages are a common key gameplay element in most games where they appear, such as ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', or ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''.

==In ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''==
The cages return in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' with their appearance from {{rw|Rayman 1}}, containing the captured [[Electoons]] and sharing the same appearance and main purpose.
There are six cages in every level excluding bonuses, hubs and [[Dark Storm]], the latter being only unlocked if [[Rayman]] freed all the [[Electoons]] from the game's 186 cages. The [[Electoons]] do not remain in the level when they exit a cage, and instead quickly shoot up in the sky, similarly to {{rw|Rayman}}'s original death animation.
Decorative cages are also seen hung from the ceiling of [[Flint Jail]]'s background.

In this game, the [[Electoon]] medallion only appears in the worlds' hubs, the number of their happy faces matching the quantity of cages broken within a level. Tiny versions of them are displayed for every world's levels on the [[Dark Stronghold]]'s roof.
The total number of broken cages is also displayed all the time on the bottom-right corner of the hud.

Backtracking will often be required to find some missing cages, as [[Rayman]] will encounter many situations where they are blocked behind a [[Cloud|green cloud]] or a blue switch requiring the [[space key]], and they can also be hidden behind some [[gendoor]]s. To make the task easier, [[Rayman]] can purchase an [[Item locator|cage detector]] from [[the Magician]]'s [[shop]], which will add a green arrow to the hud, glowing when there's a remaining cage and pointing towards its direction.

Unlike {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}, cages do not actually disappear from levels once they've broken, but are instead replaced by golden cages which reappear every time [[Rayman]] returns to a past level or loses a [[life]] within the same section. Opening these golden ones will instead award four [[Ting]]s and a [[coin]].

When [[Rayman]] reaches the roof of the [[Dark Stronghold]] after the [[Dark Magician]]'s defeat, [[the Magician]] will tell him to gather all the [[Electoons]] to confront the ever-growing [[Dark Storm]]. Once [[Rayman]] has broken open all the cages, the path to [[Dark Storm]] will be opened by a series of [[cloud]]s.

==In ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''==
As ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' is a remake of ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'', cages return to the game with few differences, also retaining some changes and additions from ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''. Due to the expanded content, the total of cages has been increased from 102 to 168. Most returning cages are located at their original spots from most versions of ''{{rw|Rayman 1|Rayman}}'', while a few were moved to different locations.

This time, cages aren't mandatory for progression any more, instead being used to earn extra life points in [[Betilla's Garden]] and earn some bonus rewards such as [[achievement]]s. The fourth health point is awarded by [[Betilla] for 10 cages, the fifth one requires 50, the sixth needs 120, while the seventh one ultimately necessitates all of the 168 cages. [[Betilla]] will then simply congratulate [[Rayman]] for rescuing the [[Electoons]] should he return to her [[Betilla's Garden|garden]] afterwards.

Once again, most levels contain six cages, with the exception of [[the Lonely Cliff]], [[the End of the World]], [[the Final Challenge]], and extra areas including nearly all of [[the Magician's Challenges]], where none are found.
Uniquely, the [[Dark Magician's Challenge]] contains ten cages, although none of them are taken account into the game's completion and they'll reappear every time the challenge is reattempted. In the [[Dark Magician's Challenge]], freeing the Electoons will instead break the [[magic wall]] as a reference to ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', which will open the path to an extra area where [[Rayman]] will meet the [[Dark Magician]] and earn the [[Rayman|Dark Magician Rayman]] [[skin]].
The decorative cages also return in the background of [[Dark Magician's Challenge]], and [[jail platform|platforms similar to the cages' metallic plates]] are also encountered there.

Breaking cages is similar to ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' as the [[Electoons]] will immediately fly away, and the broken ones will be subsequently replaced by golden variants once [[Rayman]] returns to a stage. This time, golden cages will earn [[Rayman]] 8 [[Ting]]s, which will magnetize to him similarly to those awarded by [[Ting|rainbow Ting]]s.

The medallions return from {{rw|Rayman 1|the original game}} both on the world map and in levels, but no longer interrupt the action when breaking cages and are replaced by tinier counterparts appearing briefly on the hud's bottom-right corner.
The medallion's current progress can also be tracked from the pause menu in levels, and will be replaced by a counter of all of the game's broken cages if the pause menu is open from the world map and some extra locations such as [[shop]]s. When all the [[Electoons]] and collectibles are obtained within a level, the medallion's usual pink [[Electoon]] face will turn golden on the world map.

[[Rayman]] can purchase the [[Item locator|cage locator]] at [[Joe's Wares]] for 1 500 [[Ting]]s, being extremely similar to its counterpart from ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''. The arrow is pink and appears around [[Rayman]] this time, pointing towards the closest cage and changing its glowing details depending on how far it is from the player.

===Achievements===
* Unlocking all of Betilla’s HP upgrades through the cages grants the ''[[Betilla]]’s Blessing'' [[achievement]].
* Freeing all the [[Electoon]]s from the 168 cages grants the [[Electoon]] Hero [[achievement]].

==In ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]''==
Cages return in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' from ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', functioning almost identically. The default levels contain a few of them: [[Pink Plants Woods (Rayman ReDesigner)|Pink Plant Woods]] features 6 cages, [[Curse Chaos]] contains 2, while [[They Came From Outer Space!]] and [[Mr. Skops' Revenge]] contain none. However, custom levels can contain any number of cages desired by the player, and the total will be displayed when starting a level and from the pause menu.

Gold cages and the medallions are absent from this game, so broken cages will remain as a decorative metallic plate when returning to a section, as {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}.
The [[Item locator|cage locator]] returned as an optional setting since version 1.4.0, working exactly as it did in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''.

Cages can now be assigned to [[gendoor]]s or killdoors to make them either appear or disappear.
Breaking the cages has no purpose in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' aside from scoring purposes. However, since version 1.4.0, [[magic wall]]s can be broken by being given a specific cage requirement similarly to the [[Dark Magician's Challenge]], which will be displayed if the player chooses to activate this new feature.

The decorative cages attached to chains return through the selectable [[Flint Jail]] background from ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'''s [[Dark Magician's Challenge]], and so do the [[jail platform]]s.

==Trivia==
* The golden cages in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' and ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' are possibly a nod to the cages' appearance in {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of Rayman}} and {{rw|Rayman 2 Forever}}, being golden and visually empty.
* Despite being missing from ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', the gold cages are actually still present in the game's files as a leftover from ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''.
* In ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'''s version 0.1.0, cages would remain collected in test mode, which was quickly patched in version 0.1.1.
* Cages didn't properly react to bouncy tiles in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' prior to version 1.2.0.
* It was possible to break cages at the frames they spawned in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', even if already collected. This was fixed in version 1.3.0.
* Prior to being fixed in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'''s version 1.4.4, the [[Item locator|cage locator]] could still point at already broken cages.

	As ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' is a remake of ''{{rw\|Rayman 1}}'', cages return to the game with few differences, also retaining some changes and additions from ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''. Due to the expanded content, the total of cages has been increased from 102 to 168. Most returning cages are located at their original spots from most versions of ''{{rw\|Rayman 1\|Rayman}}'', while a few were moved to different locations.

	This time, cages aren't mandatory for progression any more, instead being used to earn extra life points in [[Betilla's Garden]] and earn some bonus rewards such as [[achievement]]s. The fourth health point is awarded by [[Betilla] for 10 cages, the fifth one requires 50, the sixth needs 120, while the seventh one ultimately necessitates all of the 168 cages. [[Betilla]] will then simply congratulate [[Rayman]] for rescuing the [[Electoons]] should he return to her [[Betilla's Garden\|garden]] afterwards.
