The British version of the game is known as Rayman Junior.

Plot

This time, Mr. Dark has stolen the Book of Knowledge, and Rayman is called to retrieve it. A more kid-oriented, educational game, this had the player answer questions while playing the game. A right answer would keep Rayman alive, but a wrong one would send him to his doom. It featured three skill levels: first, second, and third grade.

The 1999 edition's story was that while Bettila the Fairy was visiting the Magician, a mysterious and evil figure named Mr. Dark came and stole all of the content of the Magic Book of Knowledge.
