Cheeseoman | A Few Rayman 2 Timesavers @cheeseoman | Uploaded May 2017 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
1. Very small timesaver in the Fairy Glade. If you do a standing jump (rather than a running jump) into this cutscene, you can get farther into the hallway. Note that you can also wake up the pirate, which causes him to shoot at you as soon as you get to the upper section.
2. Shoot the Teensy's cage in the Bayou without jumping on the trampolines. Found by Darnok_PL on the PC version. Because you can often shoot cages from farther away on PC, I wanted to demonstrate that the trick is also possible on N64.
3. By jumping on Globox's head, you can get the lum above the plant in the Canopy without watering the plant. I call this trick the Globox boost. The trick lets you skip watering the plant in 100%, but I'm not sure how much time it saves (if any).
4. A technique that might make getting through the door at the end of the Canopy (as shown in my last video) a little easier. If you pause just after moving backward and hold up while unpausing, you can effectively be holding down on one frame and all the way up on the next frame, which helps you move toward the door faster.
5. If the first barrel guy in Top of the World uses his cannonball attack instead of his zap attack, you can simply run past him without getting hit or killing him.
6. If he does his zap attack, you can hide behind the corner, then start moving as soon as he does the attack. This saves time compared to killing him.
7. You can take cover behind the corner next to the lum if you're about to be hit by the zap attack.
8. You can save time in the second-to-last room of Top of the World if you skip killing the barrel guy. In this clip, he does his cannonball attack at the beginning, so I don't get hit at all.
9. Even if the third barrel guy hits you with the zap attack, you can still save time compared to killing him. It's important to get hit on the ground, not in the air. If you get hit in the air, your invincibility will run out before the next zap hits you.
10. You can get the cage in the box tower room in the Iron Mountains and quickly grab one of the top edges afterward. If you grab the edge under the wooden plank, you can pull yourself through the plank.
