Line #35 DarthWiki/RaymanLegacy


1	''Rayman Legacy'' is an expansion of ''VideoGame/RaymanRedemption'', itself an enhanced remake of the [[VideoGame/Rayman1 original Rayman game]]. The story is largely the same as ''Redemption'', up until the point where the player reaches The Final Showdown. Rather than it being a single level, it's composed of four levels, much like the previous seven worlds (including The Lonely Cliff, which is expanded to be a full level). Once [[BigBad Mr. Dark]] is defeated, Rayman has "saved the world", and attained 100% completion, the gift box at the top of the map explodes, revealing a mysterious portal. Jumping into it takes Rayman into a DarkWorld where the sky is red (much like it is in ''Redemption'' after Mr. Dark steals The Great Protoon) where the entire second half of the game awaits.

3	!!Tropes:
4
5	* AdaptationExpansion:
6	** The final level of ''Redemption'' is expanded into an entire world, making things more difficult. The 8th medallion is split into four pieces, rather than two.
7	** The Magician's Challenges are altered slightly. The Breakout minigame is included as part of these challenges, as opposed to being unlocked after Dark Legacy. The True Boss Rush no longer exists, since the upgraded bosses from it have been transplanted into the DarkWorld. The "final challenge" has been cut out as well and made into its own world in the Valley of Nightmares.
8	** Instead of unlocking [[BrutalBonusLevel Dark Legacy]] after finishing the main game, you unlock a whole new ''dimension'' where the first world is basically Dark Legacy.
9	** The ''VideoGame/Rayman3'' power-ups are added and incorporated into the level design of the DarkWorld (previously seen in ''Rayman Redesigner'').
10	** There is a bonus world in the Valley of Nightmares that's based on the level from the Magician's Challenges with the red background that has cages hanging in the background.
11	** The Mosquito levels in the Valley of Nightmares are replaced with Dark Rayman levels, where the objective is to reach the LevelGoal without Dark Rayman catching up to you.
12	* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The medallions found in the Valley of Nightmares are colour-coded thusly:
13	** Dark Forest: Dark Red
14	** Dark Sonata: Indigo
15	** Dark Peaks: Orange
16	** Dark Gallery: Black
17	** Dark Depths: Lime Green
18	** Dark Factory: Bronze
19	** Dark Carnival: Sliver
20	** Dark Finale: Gold
21	* DarkWorld: The portal sends Rayman to a dark dimension known as the Valley of Nightmares after fully completing the Valley of Dreams. It doesn't have cages or Magician's Challenges, but it does have medallions (much like the original world) that are required to progress to the next world.
22	* MythologyGag: Dark Sonata, in addition to the [[BandLand music theme]], also takes place in a desert, much like "The Desert of The Digeridoos" from ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'', which [[HailfirePeaks combines]] music-themed levels and desert-themed levels.
23	* NintendoHard: In ''Redemption'', Dark Legacy was an insanely BrutalBonusLevel. This game adds a new dimension where the ''first world'' is the game's equivalent of Dark Legacy, and it only gets harder from there.
24	* RedSkyTakeWarning: The Valley of Nightmares has a red sky 24/7, to symbolize its dark nature.
25	* ThemeNaming: All worlds in the Valley of Nightmares have the word "dark" in the name:
26	** Dream Forest's equivalent is [[TheLostWoods Dark Forest]].
27	** BandLand's equivalent is [[ShiftingSandLand Dark Sonata]].
28	** Blue Mountains' equivalent is [[DeathMountain Dark Peaks]].
29	** Picture City's equivalent is [[ArtCourse Dark Gallery]].
30	** Cave of Skops' equivalent is [[BleakLevel Dark Depths]].
31	** Playtopia's equivalent is [[NightmarishFactory Dark Factory]].
32	** Candy Chateau's equivalent is [[AmusementParkOfDoom Dark Carnival]].
33	** The Final Showdown's equivalent is [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Dark Finale]].
34	** Dark Legacy's equivalent (from ''Redemption'') is [[BonusLevelOfHell Dark Despair]].
