''[[Rayman Origins]]'' had a bunch of changes made during early production, most which has been seen through early trailers and by hacking the game.

== Announcement ==
[[File:Bubbleprize a2.png|thumb|A scrapped [[Life|life statue]].]]
When ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' was originally announced it was going to have multiple episodic releases, with the first one being released in late 2010. This was however changed to make the game a more full experience. Originally it was also meant to be a prequel, as can be seen from early trailers, but was later turned into a full sequel. The name ''Origins'' was kept as the game was still focused on going back to [[Rayman]]'s origins, with a gameplay style similar to [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

Several features seen from early trailers and screenshot never made it into the final game. A world composed of artwork and art supplies, based on [[Picture City]] from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], was planned for inclusion but abandoned during the development of the game. It would have featured references to art styles such as pop art and pixel art. Other cut features include [[Rayman]]'s [[propeller]] ability, which could have been used by other characters as well, such as [[Globox]]. The game was originally going to include a similar [[life]] and health system to [[Rayman 1|the original game]], with a [[life]] counter and a health counter. Early artwork also show [[Big Mama]] on the top of [[Mystical Pique]] rather than in the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]. Early footage also shows [[Lum King]]s giving ax x4 multiplier rather than x2.

Originally the game would have featured more returning characters and throwbacks to older games. The writer, Gabrielle Shrager, was a fan of the series and wanted to make a coherent story based on the previous titles. Most of the plot was however scrapped later on during development.

Before the [[bubble]] mechanic was introduced for when a player dies, they would turn into ghosts. Similarly, one could still be revived by other players in this state.

''[[The Daily Bubble]]'' was a collection of magazine articles teasing several features and characters in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' before its release. Several characters shown there were never used in the final game.

By hacking the game's [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], and later the final version, a script was found, which details with unused dialogue what the game's plot was originally supposed to be. In this scrapped scenario, [[the Magician]]'s real name would have been Ales Mansay. He was bullied and ostracized by the other [[Teensie]]s at magic school for his poor magical abilities. Although he helped [[Rayman]] to overcome [[Mr Dark]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], he secretly admired the villain's dark and mysterious nature, and wanted to emulate him. He also ended up developing a hatred for the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], whose nightmares had repeatedly overcome [[the Glade of Dreams]] and were a constant threat to its inhabitants. [[The Magician]] concocted a plan. He hid a microphone in [[the Snoring Tree]], so that the heroes' snoring would irritate and ultimately start a war with the inhabitants of the [[Livid Dead]]. Although the microphone, disguised as a flower, can still be seen in the game itself it is never made clear who placed it there.

Throughout the game [[the Magician]] pretends that he is still a friend of the heroes, allowing him to collect [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] from them in exchange for [[Electoon]]s which they can use to reach new areas. In the scrapped plot, he used these [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]]s to power his mechas: gigantic machines which he was building to take over [[the Glade of Dreams]], imposing order and eliminating the chaos of the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s nightmares.

== Developer script ==
In 2020 it was discovered that an update to ''Just Dance 2016'' included an early script for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' with the original developer notes included. The most notable new discoveries from this are the mention of an unused map, titled "Don't Shoot the Dead", which was a flying level meant to appear right before [[The Mamma of All Nightmares]] and the fact that [[Big Mama]] might have intended to be [[Polokus|the Bubble Dreamer]].

== Unused levels ==
Two unused levels have been found in the PC version's files. Both levels are very short and without any background. The first of the two levels features a group of [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and the second one a group of flying platforms. Both levels have the old [[exit sign]] textures, although not functional, and no end. They also feature a template terrain texture, known as "Basic Ground", with the distance being shown in squares of 2 square meters.

== Unused subtitles ==
The files from the PlayStation Vita version show unused subtitles for the origin cutscenes which are unlocked by finding [[relic]]s.

{{quote|text=
They say [[Rayman]] was once as bald as a full moon on Rayday.

And [[Raynette]] loved him that way.

Meanwhile, the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]] set out in search of their promised land.

After centuries of wandering, desperate and delirious...

They came upon a snoozing couple...

A glorious sun rose over a land of perfect proportions...

‘Eureka!' said the [[Mini-Villus|mini-villus]] mini-king upon discovering [[Rayman|Ray]]'s shiny egg-head...

‘Home at last!!' cried the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], who threw down their bags and took root right then and there.

The [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]] threw down their bags and took root then and there.

‘Eeek!' shrieked [[Raynette]] at the unsightly ‘do...

‘Ahhhh!' screamed [[Rayman|Ray]] at the mini-invasion...

N/A

Running [[Rayman]] right over a cliff.

To his doom.

Or not. ‘Phew!', sighed [[Rayman|Ray]].

‘Your welcome!' replied the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], as [[Rayman]] glided into the sunset with Glade's best head of hair.

{{quote|text=
One day, the ever-insatiable young [[Globox]] was stuffing himself silly with the delectable fruit of the blubue buberruby bubush.

Little did he know that his buffet was home to a venomous blubue bubeastubie...

... and the bubeastubie wasn't giving up its eye without a fight!

Finally, greedy [[Globox]] just went ahead and popped the whole bubeastubie down his gullet.

As he soon discovered, blubue bubeastubies tend to travel in swarms...

Singularly savage swarms, at that.

The blubue bubeastubie's buddies finally cornered the [[Shubamuban]] and really let him have it.

Poor [[Globox]] stumbled home covered in nasty bubeastubie buboils.

The buboils healed, but the damage was done. The bubeastubie venom had turned young [[Globox]] a permanent shade of blue, and the magic peoples learned a valuable lesson: Always beat a buberruby bubush before stuffing ones belly...

== Developer script ==
In 2020 it was discovered that an update to ''Just Dance 2016'' included an early script for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' with the original developer notes included. The most notable new discoveries from this are the mention of an unused map, titled "Don't Shoot the Dead", which was a flying level meant to appear right before [[The Mamma of All Nightmares]] and the fact that [[Big Mama]] might have intended to be [[Polokus|the Bubble Dreamer]].

== Unused levels ==
Two unused levels have been found in the PC version's files. Both levels are very short and without any background. The first of the two levels features a group of [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and the second one a group of flying platforms. Both levels have the old [[exit sign]] textures, although not functional, and no end. They also feature a template terrain texture, known as "Basic Ground", with the distance being shown in squares of 2 square meters.

== Unused subtitles ==
The files from the PlayStation Vita version show unused subtitles for the origin cutscenes which are unlocked by finding [[relic]]s.

They say [[Rayman]] was once as bald as a full moon on Rayday.

And [[Raynette]] loved him that way.

Meanwhile, the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]] set out in search of their promised land.

After centuries of wandering, desperate and delirious...

They came upon a snoozing couple...

A glorious sun rose over a land of perfect proportions...

‘Eureka!' said the [[Mini-Villus|mini-villus]] mini-king upon discovering [[Rayman|Ray]]'s shiny egg-head...

‘Home at last!!' cried the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], who threw down their bags and took root right then and there.

The [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]] threw down their bags and took root then and there.

‘Eeek!' shrieked [[Raynette]] at the unsightly ‘do...

‘Ahhhh!' screamed [[Rayman|Ray]] at the mini-invasion...

N/A

Running [[Rayman]] right over a cliff.

To his doom.

Or not. ‘Phew!', sighed [[Rayman|Ray]].

‘Your welcome!' replied the [[Mini-Villus|Mini-Villi]], as [[Rayman]] glided into the sunset with Glade's best head of hair.

{{quote|text=
One day, the ever-insatiable young [[Globox]] was stuffing himself silly with the delectable fruit of the blubue buberruby bubush.

Little did he know that his buffet was home to a venomous blubue bubeastubie...

... and the bubeastubie wasn't giving up its eye without a fight!

Finally, greedy [[Globox]] just went ahead and popped the whole bubeastubie down his gullet.

As he soon discovered, blubue bubeastubies tend to travel in swarms...

Singularly savage swarms, at that.

The blubue bubeastubie's buddies finally cornered the [[Shubamuban]] and really let him have it.

Poor [[Globox]] stumbled home covered in nasty bubeastubie buboils.

The buboils healed, but the damage was done. The bubeastubie venom had turned young [[Globox]] a permanent shade of blue, and the magic peoples learned a valuable lesson: Always beat a buberruby bubush before stuffing ones belly...
