* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The console and PC versions have seen digital rereleases (on Creator/{{Ubisoft}} Connect for the latter), and even now, you can buy the PC version on Website/GOGDotCom, but the same can't be said for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance version. It ''did'' get a rerelease on the Wii U [=eShop=], but then Nintendo shut down the storefront in early 2023, meaning the only legal option is to buy the old cartridges. Fortunately, they can be found without breaking the bank too much.

* DisownedAdaptation: Downplayed. Michel Ancel says that the game was "a bit too concrete" for his tastes, and that he would have done the game a bit differently if he wasn't in an advisory role, though he praised the development team and said he was still proud of them. This hasn't prevented the game's events from being mentioned in ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'', however.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/{{Rayman}} Shares a page]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The game had three unique creatures: The Xowar, Glute, and Bonton, who are ''technically'' in the game, but in a slightly-difficult-to-reach EasterEgg ([[spoiler:get a score of over 43001 points in the Tower of Leptys and a door will open up on your way to the final boss]]) that only shows them in motion. The Xowar was originally to be a boss and part of a minigame, (though it's possible to see it with a cheat) and the Bonton was to be ridden.
** Additionally, three types of Hoodlums (Gunsliger, Siamese, and Kagoubinome) had not made it in the final version of the game.
** Two mini-games (one involving chess and the aforementioned Xowar) were not in the game at all.

* TwoVoicesOneCharacter: Globox is voiced by both Creator/JohnLeguizamo and Doug Rand. Leguizamo voices him in gameplay, while Doug Rand voices him in the pre-rendered cutscenes.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The most likely reason why "Madder" isn't in the HD rerelease, considering the rights to the song likely belong to Groove Armada, the people who made it.

* TheOtherDarrin: Globox is voiced by Creator/JohnLeguizamo in this game, who gives a ''completely different'' take compared to Doug Rand's take on him in ''VideoGame/Rayman2'' and ''VideoGame/RaymanM'', and even the FMV cutscenes. Instead of being deep and slow, he's hyperactive and high pitched. He also speaks in complete sentences, something he was very clearly incapable of in ''Rayman 2''.

** The game had three unique creatures: The Xowar, Glute, and Mawpaw, who are ''technically'' in the game, but in a slightly-difficult-to-reach EasterEgg ([[spoiler:get a score of over 43001 points in the Tower of Leptys and a door will open up on your way to the final boss]]) that only shows them in motion.

* TheOtherMarty: They were originally going to have David Rand reprise Globox but his lines only appeared in the pre-rendered cutscenes. In the actual game, he's voiced by John Leguizamo.

* NoExportForYou: The game did not get a Japanese release, making it the only mainline ''{{Franchise/Rayman}}'' game to have never seen the light of day over there.
