Can someone list all of the differences? I can't remember some of them, but I do know most.

From what I can remember:
* Many levels have been cut short to fit the disc
* Whale Bay replaced The Sanctuary of Water and Ice but kept the Axel battle intact
* Presence of Antitoons in certain levels
* Final boss battle being set in a neverending tunnel instead of inside the Crow's nest
* Conversations with the Guardians of the masks
* Completely different voice acting
* The bonus 2D beta level being available after collecting 90% of the Yellow Lums and beating the game
* The Iron Mountains being renamed to Gloomy Island and cut short
* I also believe the Walk of Life was remodelled.

I think part of the Fairy Glade got removed in the PS1 version too.
There are so many differences it's just ridiculous.

Why? The PS1 was much less powerful than the N64, and they had to remodel the game entirely. In fact, the PS1 version of Rayman 2 was welcomed as an excellent port, making the most of the console.

I'm not saying the PS1 version is bad, but in my opinion the huge differences between the two versions just make everything so much more complicated...

Yeah the part where you fly up the air currents was cut out, as was the part in the Iron Mountains where you're trying to get past the robot dino thing.

Oh aye, that too.
Was there also a part of Tomb of the Ancients (or is it called Skulls Cave?
) removed too? I noticed a part I wasn't familiar with in Rayman Revolution.

It is a condensed, shortened version, but it has many interesting little additions...
And I can't believe all of you have forgotten Ninjaws!

Argh, I totally forgot about the original Rayman 2 demo. I really wish I had picked up the PS1 version when I saw it for £2

You can download the ROM. The game isn't for sale anymore anyway

It was pre-owned by the way

Yeah I basically bought it for the Rayman 2 2D prototype level as well.
It's kind of cool the game is somewhat different though, so it further justifies the purpose.

Well, I believe Stacey said all the differences (+ Ninjaws of course
).
It surely is a great game. Ninjaws and Antitoons are my truly favorite things-that-have-been-added.

I dream that someday, someone will create a hack of R2 DC which features all the extra things from all the versions...

What I really didn't like is different style of swimming.
