Rayman 2 - The Great Escape (Europe) (GBC)

In Rayman 2 - The Great Escape for the Game Boy Color, players control Rayman in a classic 2D platforming adventure. Unlike its 3D counterparts on larger consoles, this version focuses on precise platforming and exploration across horizontal and vertical levels.

Rayman's primary objective is to collect yellow Lums and rescue the Teensies imprisoned in cages by Captain Razorbeard's army of Robo-Pirates. Each level is uniquely designed with various obstacles, enemies, and secrets to uncover. Rayman can utilize his signature abilities such as his powerful punch, the ability to glide slowly using his helicopter hair, and the capacity to grab onto ledges or climb ropes.

Players will traverse diverse environments including lush jungles, volcanic regions, icy caves, and pirate ships. Levels often require a combination of platforming skill, simple puzzle-solving, and combat against enemies. Collecting enough Lums is often a prerequisite to unlock new areas or confront challenging boss battles. The game also features hidden areas and secret items, encouraging players to thoroughly explore every nook and cranny. This is a colorful and challenging platforming experience on the GBC system.
