To unlock a new mission, you need rescue teensies, kidnapped denizens of Rayman’s world the number of which each level varies. You run through the level and certain jumps or actions are linked to audio queues that help to fill out the track. Legends consists of six primary sections (or worlds, in the Mario vernacular), each with 6-10 playable levels that culminate in a musical finale that you’ll want to play over and over.
