* SoftReboot: The game brings the series back to the 2D platformer roots of the series, but goes in a dramatically different direction (being much more momentum and speed-oriented), the game [[{{Retcon}} tweaks]] some of the character designs to account for Rayman being the only one of his kind, and sparsely brings up the events of previous games unless you interact with Polokus, who mostly vaguely alludes to them. The Rabbids also go [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome completely unmentioned]], and the game suggests that they may never have set foot in the Glade of Dreams in the first place, suggesting they were [[CanonDiscontinuity completely excised]] from ''Rayman'' canon.
