The game starts with Globox accidentally swallowing a Black Lum (not Andre) when trying to save the Teensies. Rayman finds out about this, causing him to scold his friend and decide that they should find a way to remove the evil lum, but when Globox runs away instead, Rayman goes after him. Meanwhile, onboard "The Buccaneer", Admiral Razorbeard, the leader of the Robo-Pirate army and main antagonist of Rayman 2: The Great Escape/Revolution/DS, decides to steal the lum and use its power to his advantage.
