Rayman, our hero will run, jump, and climb through several levels, killing enemies, using Superpowers, and doing whatever else he needs to in order to reach the end. There is less emphasis on exploration and more emphasis on fighting and gaining points. For getting those big scores, Rayman needs to rack up his combos b y killing enemies and/or by collecting Jewels in rapid succession. If too many seconds pass after Rayman wastes a bad guy or grabs a Jewel, the combo ends and adds whatever bonus points it has carried to Rayman's Score.

Motion Stick - Move (relative to the screen).
Push this Stick slightly to make Rayman walk. Push it farther to make him run. During Look Mode, press this Stick to make Rayman look around. During Freeze Mode, press this Stick to rotate the camera.

Jump Button - Jump. Press this Button again in midair to make Rayman perform his helicopter maneuver, which lets him descend more slowly. Helicoptering can help him cross large chasms. Rayman can also perform cling-jumps inside clefts. After he jumps up inside of one, press this Button to make him cling onto the sides. From here, he can jump up again and repeat this move to scale the cleft.

Status Button - Display Rayman's life and Superpower energy meters. The life meter normally appears only when Rayman sucks up something painful, but by pressing this Button you can quickly check his health. Also press this Button to perform a Grimace (when Rayman earns the ability to do so). Performing a Grimace near a Dark Lum will restore it into a Red Lum and give Rayman 10 points. During Freeze Mode, press this Button to display data about any enemy Rayman is targeting.

Look Button - Look Mode. Rayman will view his surroundings from a first person perspective as long as this Button is held. Rayman has very good eyesight and can focus on distant objects with ease. During Look Mode, press the Roll Button to zoom out and press the Strafe Button to zoom in, up to a maximum magnification factor of ten.

Roll Button - Roll. This maneuver supposedly helps him avoid enemy attacks, although jumping or running away is usually a better tactic. Rayman can roll to the sides or backwards if you press this Button along with Left, Right, or Down (on the Motion Stick) while holding the Strafe Button.

The Heavy Metal Fist gives Rayman the power to blast Hoodlum barricades into rubble. And in combat, Rayman can use it to serve up a spiky knuckle sandwich to enemies.

Way more than just a grappling hook, the LockJaw is a razor- toothed chomper that can latch onto enemies and deliver a nasty bite.This Super power lasts for a long period of time.

Vortex Punches can twist screw platforms downwards, allowing Rayman to step onto them. Notice how platforms that have been twisted will remain twisted. This Superpower lasts for a moderate period of time.

The Shock Rocket packs a serious wallop and can be guided around corners to destroy stuff – perfect for hitting hard-to-reach levers, buttons, and unsuspecting Hoodlums.

Fire up the Throttle Copter and warp away into the unknown reaches of Rayman’s world. They are invaluable when he needs to reach high ledges. This Superpower lasts for a very short period of time.
