The article only has images from the monochrome version. In case anyone is interested, MobyGames has screenshots of the game (from both versions):

I could run the game on a J2ME emulator and get screenshots too if it would help, but I'd have to see if they'd turn out right and use nearest neighbour.

I've discovered two pictures showing some selected reception: one of them is from Rayman Arena and the other is from Rayman 2 for Dreamcast.




The Rayman Arena one comes from Twitter while the picture about Rayman 2 for Dreamcast comes from a Rayman-dedicated zone from Tumblr called Just Rayman Things.

UPDATED:
I have found another... Has anyone seen this Rayman 2 concept art?

[Duck_Duckington]

Isn't that sketch by TechNick?

I think this is just fan art that tries to imitate official concept art. I tried to reverse search the image and the only results that appear are from TechNick's twitter page.

Oh, I didn't know about it...

I saw a retweet of this fan art and I mistaked it this retweet showing Globox with red eyes for the authentic Rayman 2 concept art. Yes, you're right... At least if you ask the first person who retweeted TechNick's fan art about if he can give you the authentic one...

UPDATED: I've been looking for where the R2 Rayman using emotions concept art comes from and, when I was searching "Rayman M concept art" in Google Pictures, I found a concept art about Teensies I have never seen before:

I posted these on Tumblr yesterday and it's gaining traction there, so I thought I'd share them with you guys too. Image scans from the Rayman Activity Centre (US) manual.

Rayman Sits:


Eight!*:

*No, I don't know why "8" either

*No, I don't know why "8" either

The "8" image is probably counting numbers with Rayman.

Nice! Don't hesitate to upload the whole manual to RayWiki.

Hello,

before welcoming me here, it's me Miss-Cerasus!
For some unknown reasons I couldn't log into my account anymore and decided to do a new account as new start.

Not sure if you guys have seen these videos before, but check out these cool rare Rayman 2 Beta videos this guy found:








And I found this Rayman 3 video, I posted on my Youtube channel:


Another Rayman 3 video showing beta stuff


And apparently the Hoodlums Army video has early animations:

Welcome back!

"Les images que vous voyez sont tirées de la version PC, mais l'adaptation PlayStation restera fidèle." Yeah right. Though to be fair, the lums in that video look a lot more like what ended up in the PS version than in the PC one. Perhaps the reason the PS version is so different is that it was working from an older snapshot of the game!

There are a few small gameplay differences that seem to make the gameplay feel more "dynamic" in some of these clips. For example:
In the boss fight with Clark, you had to get behind him while he was swiping instead of being able to stun him with a laser beam.
Movement is not restricted while standing on a nenuphar (Rayman can walk). Easy to see why the restriction was added though…
Pirates actually get knocked back when Rayman punches them. Maybe this made certain fights too easy…

Also, Eig was meant to be an actual threat (at least if you didn't get off floating platforms quickly enough). I guess this was supposed to appear in the original version.

I think something was also mentioned in one of them about being able to select multiple difficulty levels. That might have been nice…

HOLY CRAP! Is no one really going to talk about that Rayman costume? It doesn't even look like any of the ones we've seen since now! It surprises me how still to this day we keep discovering new mascottes used to promote the games I bet there's still a lot of stuff we haven't discovered!

Also Rayman sure has an awkward way to "sit"

Where are you even supposed to jump to? I can't see anywhere to go. Anyway, it would have been cool to see more of Eig in the final game, but I kinda like how he's just some mysterious figure now.

There's a wooden walkway in the background – presumably there's another section of it that Rayman could have jumped to before the cutscene we saw in the video.

[Hunchman801]

Interesting! Eig was always such a mysterious character, especially when the wiki wasn't here yet to put the pieces together.

Sorry if this was already posted in this thread, but I found this promotional art of Rayman M that includes Ly:



I don't think this one is included in the wiki, however I can't confirm if this image is official or not.

I have never seen this picture before, it looks a slighty different version of Rayman M's cover art. Also, speaking about rare Rayman pictures, I have found another Rayman M-related picture, this time about a concept art:



I have found this Globox-themed concept art and another Rayman M concept art depicting two Teensies in an inactive, Rayman-themed Czech blog called raymandva, although inside the blog it is called "Rayman 5 Dìlů".
