I'm not really a big fan of Rayman 8bit remixes.
That's not to say I don't like 8bit remixes in general, I just like the Rayman music to remain in my head without fighting with remixes for recollection.

There are no minigames in the PC version of Rayman 2. There are, however, the races at the end of a level and the Walks of Power and Life, which may be considered a minigame.

He's speaking of the minigame after the credits, which was included in the PC version, pressing a certain button activates the game, it's a shooter where you play as a "E" and shoot down other letters.

I heard that in the PC version, when the screen says THE END, if you type www. ubisoft.com you can play a hidden minigame. I want to know if it's true.

If this minigame is the same as the minigame at the end of the credits, then yes, I have played it. I can play it without typing anything. You'll have to stare at a blinking 'The End' for a while, but I believe pressing the A button will skip it to the minigame.

It's basicly a Shoot 'Em Up game with a twist: no sprites, but letters are used. You play as an E and can either shoot other letters such as X with periods ('.'). You may also jump over another letter, though only if you have a '!' powerup, and doing so will use one of these powerups. Furthermore there are highly annoying letters such as the O that will spray a shipload of other enemy letters in all directions and for the rest I guess the game's basicly just about surviving the longest and getting the best score. It's quite addictive. The funny thing is the PC version describes the controls to the minigame as if you were playing a Gamecube or something like that - it references controls such as the 'red button' and depicts them with a picture of a red button.

Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well do a quick FRAPS recording tomorrow, not that it would be worth much since others like Haruka have footage anyway...
But why not?

R2 was on the Game Boy Colour.
As for Rayman 1 was a port of an Originally 2d game anyway, so no problems there, R3 was released alongside the console version and Rabbids the same, though I don't believe Rabbids are canon anymore.
Rayman 2's GBC incarnation could be played on GBA via backward compatibility anyway, so no problems, furthermore, R3 GBA is more a fusion of R2 and R3 featuring more Robo's than Hoodlums, and Razor as it's final boss. So in a way, R3 GBA kind of constitutes a Rayman 2 GBA with elements of R3.

>Rayman origins< Seems to be remade from A mix of Rayman 1 and Rayman 2.

You do know there has been a thread of this game for quite some time?
AND it was released last month?
Origins is a mix of all three, but is not a remake of any shape or form, nor a reboot.

Yup, there is a secret entrance to a hidden area and the last cage of the Fairy Glade in the Echoing Caves
