What is Rayman Legends?
Rayman Legends is a platformer by Ubisoft Montpellier from 2013. Rayman, Globox and the Teensies travel through enchanted paintings into different game worlds. The adventure combines classic 2D platforming sections with the search for hidden captives, boss enemies and levels whose obstacles are tuned to music.
As the successor to Rayman Origins, the game can be played alone or, depending on the platform, with several people locally. The Nintendo Wii U version additionally uses touchscreen help via Murfy.

Gameplay
Rayman Legends combines precise jumping, running and attacking with hidden paths. The characters move through painting worlds, dodge traps, collect Lums and free captured Teensies. Some sections end in boss fights, others demand speed and precise reactions.
The music levels are fixed parts of the campaign: obstacles and movement sequences are rhythmically synced to the soundtrack. Murfy helps at certain points by clearing paths or changing parts of the environment.

Local co-op and Murfy
Rayman Legends offers local co-op for four players on many platforms. On Wii U, a fifth person can help as Murfy via the GamePad's touchscreen, changing obstacles and opening new paths. This asymmetric mode is a feature of the Wii U version and cannot be transferred to all other versions.

Online features and availability
The Xbox 360 store page currently states that this edition no longer offers online features. Local co-op is a separate matter, as is the server situation of the other platform versions.
No new purchases have been possible on the Wii U eShop since March 27, 2023. This change in distribution says nothing about whether versions already purchased or physical discs remain playable.
