Storyline
R
ayman and his famous acolytes face new challenges in a
unique sporting competition: they will confront these
challenges in hard and varied environments to become
THE winner of a surprising biathlon: Race and Battle modes.
Pick your character and compete with your opponents in
interactive environments littered with power-ups, extreme
actions and shooting in hazardous arenas. Catch weapons to
pinch your opponent’s lums, glide across bewitching lagoons
and learn to be tough and nimble to take your adversaries
by surprise.
Perhaps at least will you succeed to be tougher than Rayman…

A/ Race Game Rules
GAME MODES
A) Training Mode
This mode has been created to learn the levels, practice and
master the game controls and tricks before the real challenge.
You can also try to boost your scores and compare them
with other challengers on www.raymanm.com.
Playable only in single player.
B) Race mode
The winner is the one who finishes the race first.
In multiplayer mode, you can select how many laps to do
before winning, the maximum gap you want between
opponents to win. You can also use bonuses to go faster,
stop your opponent etc.

Ranking
C) Polopopoï mode
In this mode, you must complete 3 laps before the
chronometer counts down to 0. It starts at 20 sec. During
the race, you will have to free the Polopopoï spread
throughout the level to win additional time. You can free
them by shooting at them. The various colours correspond
to the various times of the Polopopoï.

D) Lums Mode (Same screen setting as the Polopopoï mode)

first to finish the 3 laps but also have gathered the maximum
amount of lums. You will be able to use them later.
Only available in single player.
B/ Battle Game Rules
Battle game rules are available for both single and multiplayer
options.
GAME MODES
OBJECTS DESCRIPTIONS
You will encounter many objects through your progression in
the tracks. These objects will stop your opponent in his race…
but you can also be hit! Try to avoid them and find the
cleverest ways to win.
Electric Barrel Fences
Avoid these objects at all costs. If you hit them
during the race, you will be slowed down…
Purple Lums
Learn to catch them… they will help you to find
shortcuts.
Switches
Shoot on the switches and you will open
hidden passages… or you will move the
environment to stop your opponent.
Bumpers
Give a try at the extra jump!
A - LUM SPRING
Lums appears randomly in the map, one at a time (the radar
shows the Lum position). You have to collect as many as you
can. To hinder your opponents, you can freeze them for a
second by shooting ice bullets. You have 5 bullets, which refill as
time passes. The winner is the first to reach the win condition
or the one who has the most Lums when the time is over (if
time setting is enabled).

B - LUM FIGHT
Players start with 5 hit points each. Each time the hit points
reach 0, the player is reborn somewhere in the arena. The goal
is to eliminate your opponent’s by shooting at them (the radar
shows the opponents’ position). Each time you bring an
opponent down to 0 hit points, you gain one Lum. The winner
is the first to reach the win condition or the one who has
most Lums when the time is over (if time setting is enabled).
Self-elimination by a self-hit results in a negative Lum (-1).
There are different weapons and bonuses. These are extracted
and collected randomly when the player passes over a Generator
(gold generators are likely to give more powerful weapons).

C - CAPTURE THE FLY (same screen setting as Lum Spring)
There is a Light-Fly in the map. Players have to reach, grab and
keep it as long as possible. When you have the Fly you gain
Lums as time passes (the radar shows the Fly’s position). The
Fly can be stolen with a single hit on the player carrying the Fly.
The Fly carrier cannot shoot, but becomes faster the longer he
keeps the Fly. You have 5 bouncing bullets (effective on the Fly
carrier only) which refill as time passes. The winner is the first
to reach the win condition or the one who has the most Lums
when the time is over (if time setting is enabled).

a bomb: it explodes on contact or
just after a character passes nearby. The explosion inflicts 3 hit points.
You can take control of this
flying weapon. It inflicts 5 hit
points upon impact on another
player.
Protects against any kind of
attack for a certain number of
seconds. It also inflicts 1 hit point

DESCRIPTION OF THE WEAPONS
These are the items / weapons present in the game. In Lum

Spring' and 'Capture the Fly' modes, there is only one weapon,
which the player is equipped with from the beginning: Ice
Bullet for 'Lum Spring' and Rubber Bullet for 'Capture the Fly'.

explodes after several seconds,
causing 3 hit points to be lost. It
can be passed to another player
by touch.

and detonates on impact

Choosing between
Multiplayer and
Single Player modes
NOTE: Single player mode determines the way to progress
through the game: levels will be unlocked as you evolve in the
game.
Your achievements in both single and multiplayer modes will
unlock levels, rewards and characters.
Teensies: while these decrepit beings are senile
to the point of having forgotten who is leader,
they get along just fine when it comes to
taking action and winning by whatever
means necessary.
A/ Rayman M characters
Description of the characters
Globox: Had to overcome his timidity and fear
(maybe he had therapy?) to risk his neck in this
competition. While he might appear a bit
awkward and clumsy, behind that oversized
body lies a certain dexterity and fighting spirit.
Razor Beard: Always angry, irritable and mean.
What he lacks in size, he makes up for in spite,
making him a master of shots below the belt,
which he likes more than anything else.
Be tough enough and unlock the hidden characters….
Tily: a slight, fragile and impish little fairy… until the race
starts….
Razor wife: Her more refined and fashionable appearance
(sunglasses, dress etc.) thinly veils the same traits as her
horrible husband, only worse…..
Henchman 1000: an older version of the robot pirate, more
distinguished, but with the same values as henchman 1: win,
waste others…
Henchman 800: a robot pirate's life is simple:
be best, waste others, beat them to a pulp if
necessary, have no mercy…
