In order to progress through certain parts of the story, players need to free Electoons. In this situation, the player must try again to get the coin. If the player gets harmed while collecting a Skull Coin, they will lose it. They are worth 25 Lums if successfully collected. There are also Skull Coins placed in hidden or dangerous areas. When a character collects a Lum King, it turns all Lums red for a short time. Throughout each level, players can collect yellow Lums, which they will need for Electoons. However, if all players are bubblized simultaneously, or if a character is hit during single play, they will explode and the play will return to the last checkpoint, normally a Darkblocker where the player had go through before, or the last place where the player broke a cage. Players can also collect hearts that will protect them from one hit. To get out of this state, another player can slap, or jump on them, similar to New Super Mario Bros. If a character is hit by an enemy or hazard, they will "bubblize", or inflate into a ballooned state. Certain segments also see players riding a mosquito, where players can shoot enemies or inhale and fire them. As the game progresses, players gain new abilities such as running up walls, gliding in midair, swimming and shrinking in size to reach new areas. Players travel through each level, fighting enemies and rescuing imprisoned Electoons. Players can choose to control either Rayman, Globox or two Teensies, with additional costumes available as the game progresses. Rayman Origins is playable with up to four local players who may drop in or out at any time. Rayman Origins is a side-scrolling platformer, the same style as the original Rayman game. A sequel, Rayman Legends, was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Wii U and Xbox 360 in 2013 to similar critical acclaim.
