The game totally does teach you about the rocket barrel thing, in a later level. You're meant to come back with that knowledge to solve that puzzle. I don't think it's built around you getting all the lums in a level the first try. Perhaps the fact that the Fairy Glade doesn't let you get them all is to teach you that... I totally got stuck on figuring out the walking shell as a kid though. Ended up having to look up a walkthrough. They're pretty fun to ride, though,.

It totally never occurred to me that Clark's weird stuff here might be foreshadowing and not just glitches. But it would make some sense I guess.

I never liked Whale Bay as a kid either. I think it's just the swim speed being pretty slow in this game so racing against both the piranhas and your own air gauge in that last section just felt stressful without any of the excitement. Still, I like Stone and Fire a lot, and the whole stretch of levels after it is pretty quality, so there's some good stuff coming up.

Ah, the game really teases you with that golden fist right before the walking shell segment. I don't think I've ever got that fist out of the area intact... The walking shell is fun to use as long as you never have to jump. Once jumping gets involved it's a real mess, because it doesn't stay level while jumping. Possibly because of shell mechanics that will come up later. Either way, it's a real pain! By the way, I'm pretty sure there's another plum zone near the start of the level that you missed. Right up at the beginning of the lava.

In that part where you have the magic orb riding the plum, you can just throw the orb in the air, shoot to move the plum, and the orb will come down wherever you have to be. Don't have to do any fancy timing.

As another thing about the Echoing Caves helping tie the world together, the last little area directly resembles The Precipice's environment, as well as showing you the pirate ship that features heavily in it, so it kind of implies you're walking directly from the one to the other. The Precipice is my favourite level too, but Echoing Caves probably comes second. The flying barrels are so much fun. They've also got a great soundtrack, and I love the little touch where if you skim the water it shows the water-ski graphic from the marshes.

Ah, The Precipice. Between all the levels with gimmick mechanics, this one just challenges your mastery of the core gameplay at a fast pace. I love it. The Top of the World is fun too! Really, the whole stretch between the santuary of Stone and Fire and the next one is probably the best set of levels in the game.

Man, it always gets me how tiny The Top Of The World is. Probably because when I first played it as a kid I failed the chair part so many times.

I don't like the Path of Power as much as the Path of Life. Power has too much standing around waiting for lilypads. The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava isn't the greatest level to play, but whenever I think of the Rayman 2 aesthetic I think of that level. All the swirly patterned architecture feels quintessential to the style.

So yeah I kind of got the impression that Clark had already been through and escaped from all the mind-control-machine stuff when you met him in Menhir Hills, and that's why he was sick. And why he had the holes in his back and his eyes went swirly occasionally. But yeah, equally likely it's just textures.

Wow. I knew nothing about the secret blue orb. Or the minigame. I can't believe there was stuff about this game that I still didn't know about.
