The soundtrack for the game Rayman Legends establishes a bright, cartoon-like setting through dramatic music. Specific elements like fading audio between areas suggest progression through different mirrors and locations. As a side-scrolling adventure game, the 2D gameplay is reflected in the character running left to right on screen to no voiceover or narration, relying on the dramatic music to set the mood and drive the narrative forward.
