- On the return trip to the level, you can skip the first cutscene by pressing B.
- You can skip the Murfy text that appears after you cross the first thorn field. Just avoid stepping too close to the thorns. Video (#2)
- You can avoid waking up the first two pirates by walking past them sufficiently slowly. If you don't wake them up, the door behind them will stay open. It may be faster to open the door by killing the pirates, though. Video (#2)
- As you leave the room with two pirates, a short cutscene shows Rayman running and jumping into a pit. You can skip the cutscene and fall down the pit faster by jumping just before the cutscene activates. Video (#10)
- At the end of the first walking shell section, you can boost off the side of the ramp and jump in midair to skip destroying the door. Video (#1)
- If you wish to destroy the door instead, don't aim the walking shell directly at the door. Doing so can cause it to bounce off the door without blowing up. Instead, aim at the wall next to the door.
- In the barrel flying section, you can crash the first barrel into a wall near the cage to destroy the cage quickly. You can then fall into the pit to death warp back to the previous area. Video (#1)
- In the room with some purple Lums, you do not need to use all the purple Lums to reach either the cage or the exit. You can also pull yourself through the railing. Video (#11)
