Magician's Challenges
Magician's Challenges is a new extra location in Rayman Redemption. It is located on the world map, above Pink Plant Woods. In this location, the player gets access to special bonus levels, which are unlocked by collecting special Magician tokens found in the regular levels.
The challenges are presented by the Magician, and serve as a replacement and expansion of the concept of bonus levels from the original game, which are absent from Rayman Redemption.
There are four types of challenges:
- Time trial - denoted by an image of an alarm clock. Rayman must reach the exit sign before the time runs out.
- Electoons - denoted by an image of an electoon. Rayman must find and rescue all electoons in the level before the time runs out. There is no exit sign, and the level ends when the last electoon is rescued.
- Completion - denoted by an image of the super helicopter potion. Rayman must reach the exit sign. These challenges do not include a race against the clock, so they tend to be the longest and hardest.
- Boss - denoted by an image of Mr Dark. Rayman must fight a sequence of bosses, one after the other, without losing a life, and with only a small number of power-ups to replenish his health points between battles.
A total of 24 challenges are available. A trio of challenges for each of the 7 main worlds of the game - the first a time trial, the second an electoon rescue and the third a regular level to complete - comprise the first 21. The last 3 challenges are special - Dark Magician's Challenge, which is set in the Flint Jail world of Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror, and the two boss challenges - Boss Rush and True Boss Rush.
