The evil Mr. Dark steals the Great Protoon. It's up to Rayman to stop him before it's too late!

After a sore launch on the Atari Jaguar, Rayman really kicks things off on the PlayStation and Saturn with not only improved music and sound effects, but an actual intro and broken patience. Lots of broken patience. Rayman is nowadays known for being insanely hard after you get past the first world, the Dream Forest. In many ways, it's a milder, colorful Battletoads. YEAH!

Prototype Info

Unused Animations

An unused death animation which is only available in the game's files.

Unused Goal

This... lovely thing is hidden deep within the graphics files. It's not known what it was meant to be for, but the aesthetics of it fit with The Caves of Skops the most.

Unused Graphics

The following unused textures of platforms were found in the game's files.

Regional Differences

The Japanese version of this game has different sound effects. Like the DOS version, the text "Loading" has been added to the loading screens, and also you can control and skip Betilla's tutorials.

To do: The audio differences should be separate audio files in a list.

Platform Differences

When Rayman was ported from the PS1 to the Saturn, there were several tweaks and changes made throughout the game. Many of these range from special effects to different jingles, and due to the ambiguity between them, many online uploads of Rayman's music often mixes them up.

Title Screen

The "licensed by" information at the bottom was changed for their respective consoles. Curiously, the Saturn port has a conversion of the Atari Jaguar Rayman's title screen animation!

Sound Effects and Jingles

By far the easiest thing to point to would be the differences of the "YEAH!" finish jingle. While the original ended with a gleam, the Saturn arrangement extends the jingle with a bit of a rock flair to it.
