Opening
While resting forests of the Crossroads of Dreams, Rayman notices the lums are disappearing. Suddenly, Murphy appears and tells him that the Teensies at The Fairy Council discovered that a powerful entity is absorbing the energy of their world causing the disappearance of the lums. Fearing that the heart of the world is next, Rayman springs into action to defend the Glade of Dreams.

Rival
Name: Abe

Reason: Rayman finds himself at the rival arena and spots Abe mistaking him for a Knaaren. He witnesses Abe transforming into Shrykull and thought he was trying to gain the power of the Leptys to finish what Reflux had started. Rayman interrupts the ritual, confusing Abe and catching him off guard. He then tell him he won't get away with whatever he's planning. Abe, assuming Rayman was a bounty hunter sent by Molluck, resorted to fighting him.

Connection: Both characters had games on the PS1 that were side scrolling. Both had their series go from 2D to 3D. Both characters had to go through slavery, escaped and saved their people from powerful enemies. Rayman was a slave to Razorbeard in Rayman 2 and Abe was a slave for RuptureFarms. Both are assisted and given abilities from mystical characters. Rayman was assisted by Ly the fairy throughout Rayman 2, she gave him the ability to shoot energy balls and Abe was assisted by Big Face and gave Abe the power to summon Shrykull, the Mudokon God in Abe's Oddysee. Both characters uses canisters to amplify their powers, Rayman uses Laser-Washing Powder cans in Rayman 3 to make his hits stronger, fly longer and more. Abe uses soda cans to turn invisible, run faster and more in Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. Both used chants to overcome obstacles, Rayman used a Rain Dance chant to reach new areas in Rayman 2 and Abe frequently uses chants throughout the Oddworld series.

Ending
Rayman return home happy to see that the lums have returned and the heart of the world is safe. But a new problem has sprouted, Murphy informs Rayman that Globox got lost and is now kidnapped by the Knaaren. Rayman embarks into The Desert of the Knaaren. Murphy is not convinced that Rayman will make it out alive due to the fact that the Knaaren are invincble. Rayman shrugs it off as he glows blue with the power that he obtained and says "They won't be a problem."

Gameplay
Rayman is a skilled close to mid range fighter. He can summon lums to maneuver around the stage quicker. Most of his attacks are based on his previous games.
