For information about tricks this page might refer to, see the main Rayman 2 page.
- You can skip swimming through the fish tank at the beginning of the level. Stand on the high ground near the little hallway between the first and second rooms, then jump and shoot the switch. Video (#4)
- You can shoot the second switch in the level without climbing on the barrels and the net in the area. After entering the room, run to the right until you reach the end of the fence. Then turn left and shoot. Make sure the switch is on screen when your shot hits it; going into first-person mode is helpful. Video (#1)
- You can skip the purple Lum before the area where Carmen is held. First, jump on top of the lamp on the right of the door. Then jump toward the boundary between the posts and solid wood above the door. If you did it right, you should be able to do a wall jump and reach the exit. Video (#5)
- You can skip fighting the pirate in the same room without doing the trick described above. Go straight to the barrel, making sure not to get too close to the pirate. Grab the barrel and go around the right side of the trees. The pirate will wake up, but he will not shoot you. His hook attacks can be avoided if you keep moving. Throw the barrel when you are close enough to the door. Video
- You can skip the Murfy text in the area where Carmen is held. Just avoid walking into the trigger zone.
- You can skip the "Yeah" text that plays after you free Carmen. Shoot the switch, then jump to the bottom of the stairs before the text activate. Video (#12)
- You can clip through Carmen's cage as follows. Shoot the switch to make the walking shell appear, then ride it toward the wall with the switch, aiming about halfway between the switch and the corner on the right. Don't boost. Just before you hit the wall, jump off the walking shell and you'll go through the wall. You can then run from there to the next part of the level. Video (#13)
- You can skip the cutscene that plays when you leave the ship in the last room. Jump before the cutscene plays and land somewhere besides the wooden platform you were just on. Video (#14)
- You can run up the mast on the ship in the last room, skipping the climb up the net. You can also jump on and off the platform at the top of the mast without using the purple Lum. Video
