About This Game

Bubble Dreamer, Rayman, his best friend Globox, and some Teensy friends are chilling out at the Bubble Dreamer's resting grounds, the Snoring Tree. However, their snoring disturbs an old granny from the Land of the Livid Dead, who retaliates by sending an evil army of horrendous creatures and the Darktoons across the world, capturing the Electoons that inhabit the world, imprisoning Betilla the Nymph and her sisters, and plunging the Glade into chaos. As a result, the ensuing disaster causes the Bubble Dreamer to go crazy and have nightmares. Although they are captured, Rayman and his friends are able to escape the Darktoons. They are then tasked by the Magician to gather enough Electoons to cure the Bubble Dreamer and restore the Glade of Dreams. Their efforts to locate the Electoons allow them to gain access to the various lands of the Glade, rescuing the Nymphs along the way.

Summary: IGDB

Story

Deep in the Glade of Dreams, the hero Rayman, his best friend Globox, and two Teensies are relaxing when their loud snoring accidentally disturbs a grumpy old granny in the Land of the Livid Dead. In retaliation, she unleashes a horde of Darktoons and other wicked creatures that spread across the world, capturing its little Electoons, imprisoning the nymphs, and plunging the once-peaceful land into chaos. Roused from their nap, the heroes set out to undo the damage. Their quest to rescue the Electoons and free the nymphs will take them across the many strange and colorful lands of the Glade.
