'''''Rayman Revolution''''', known in the United States as '''''Rayman 2: Revolution''''', is an updated remake of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' made specially as a launch title for the Sony PlayStation 2 in 2000. It was later re-released as a PlayStation 2 classic on the PlayStation 3 in North America. Several changes have been made for this version, notably the upgraded graphics, the inclusion of new areas, bosses and mini-games. Its difficulty was made slightly higher than that of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Several levels underwent some minor changes, such as [[the Precipice]] and [[the Echoing Caves]]. Most changes are however only cosmetic.

==New features==
Unlike ''[[Rayman 2]]'' where levels were accessed from a linear selection screen such as [[the Hall of Doors]], the levels in ''Rayman Revolution'' are accessed via three new hub worlds – [[the Minisaurus Plain]], [[Globox's House]] and [[Rainbow Creek]], which are collectively known as [[the Front]]. These areas allow free roaming, making ''Revolution'' a much less linear game than the previous versions. New cutscenes and dialogue had been added here, giving the player a more complete picture of the story. In addition, new characters are introduced such as [[Bzzit]], and [[Rayman]] can acquire new powers, items and abilities, such as the ones he can buy with the [[Yellow Lum]]s he collected at the [[Magic Well]], the equivalent of a typical item shop.

Characters such as [[Ly]] the Fairy, [[Clark]], and the [[Teensie]]s appear much more often in this version. [[Ly]] increases [[Rayman]]'s health by offering mini-games, which include the Walks of [[The Walk of Life|Life]] and [[The Walk of Power|Power]] and [[Roller Coaster Challenge|the roller coaster segment]] that was previously in [[the Top of the World]], in exchange for freeing the [[Familiar Spirit]]s, new spirit creatures that are imprisoned in [[cage]]s by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. Meanwhile, the [[Teensie]]s host the [[Teensie Circle]]s – teleportation hubs which replace [[the Hall of Doors]] and allow [[Rayman]] to return to places he has already visited.

==Music==
The regular music tracks for each level do not play when [[Rayman]] revisits them, instead simply featuring an ambiance track. Certain pieces of music still appear, most notably during the sections with more action, such as [[the Precipice]] and when engaged in battle with [[Robo-Pirate]]s. One exception is in [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], where visiting the optional temple (phase 2) makes the main track play after getting back to phase 1 again.

Another musical difference between the game and [[Rayman 2|the original versions]] is the omission of the special music that plays during the tally screen display at the end of the level. Instead, the game simply continues playing whatever track was playing when the level ended.

==Powers and items==
The game requires much more backtracking than before to collect the [[Yellow Lum]]s and break the [[cage]]s that [[Rayman]] could not access for the first time. Objects such as cannons, beacons, plants and [[mushroom]]s appear throughout the game, and need [[Rayman]] to gain his new powers and special items (such as the [[Rain Mask]]) in order to use them. A notable difference between the previous versions is that [[Rayman]] is not granted with the [[Magic fist|shooting power]] at the beginning, but is simply given the ability to [[Telescopic fist|punch]], though he is shortly given the [[Magic fist|shooting power]] by the [[Grand Minimus]]. As [[Rayman]] progresses, his shots get much stronger thanks to [[Silver Lum]]s, until he can produce a shot that is as powerful as an exploding grenade.

Later in the game, [[Rayman]] is given some items to help him, such as the [[Rain Mask]], which allows him to perform a [[Rain Dance]] like [[Globox]]'s and helps plants to grow, and the [[Lums Radar]], which is a magnet that can help him find any [[Yellow Lum]]s that he may have missed. Recalling [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Rayman]] can at one point be shrunk to help him squeeze through a small hole by eating a [[yellow mushroom]] that he needs to water with the [[Rain Dance]].

Unlike the previous versions, [[Rayman]] can keep his [[Super helicopter|flying power]], which he lost [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], conditionally - he can only use it whenever he is [[Super helicopter|flying]] above any body of lava, and when he is in battle with [[Grolem 13]].

Recalling [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Rayman]] can at one point be shrunk to help him squeeze through a small hole by eating a [[yellow mushroom]] that he needs to water with the [[Rain Dance]].

Unlike the previous versions, [[Rayman]] can keep his [[Super helicopter|flying power]], which he lost [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], conditionally - he can only use it whenever he is [[Super helicopter|flying]] above any body of lava, and when he is in battle with [[Grolem 13]].

Rayman 2 (early production)

2024-08-22T15:50:08Z

Retrofuge: /* Magazine scans */

*''This article is about the early production of the 3D build of the game. For the original 2D prototype, see [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)]].''

''[[Rayman 2]]'' underwent a bunch of changes during its development, most which have been found through hacking and from old trailers.

==''Rayman's training''==
[[File:Rayman training.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A screenshot of ''[[Rayman's training]]'', showcasing [[Rayman]]'s earlier 3D model.]]

''Main article: [[Rayman's training]]''

Before proper development of the 3D game began, a CGI short film using the concepts from the 2D game was created by the name of ''[[Rayman's training]]''. The short film stars [[Rayman]] battling a living punching bag. It premiered in February 1st, 1998 to the tradeshow/film festival Imagina 1998. After that, it has never been seen in its entirety since.

In various ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' adverts from 1997 to 1998, there were several instances of "stock footage" of a CGI [[Rayman]], and the most complete instance of this would be the E3 1998 trailer to ''[[Rayman 2]]''. For two decades, no one had known where this footage had come from exactly; it was assumed that they were made for the trailer.

In early 2021, it was put together by a number of Twitter users that the pre-rendered scenes in the E3 1998 trailer were actually from ''[[Rayman's training]]''. The short was considered lost media until March 12 2022, when a version of the video with no sound was uploaded to YouTube.

== Cut levels ==
Judging by the content of the PC version, the cutscene in [[the Prison Ship]] where [[Rayman]] frees the prisoners, which first appeared in the Dreamcast version, was originally meant to appear in the PC and Nintendo 64 versions.

In 2018 it was discovered that the PlayStation version contains a reference to a level by the name [[the Walk of Bravery]], which was meant to appear between [[the Echoing Caves]] and [[the Precipice]].

The PC version also has leftovers from several unused levels, being the following:
* Learn_20
* Whale_20
* Astro_20
* Wipe_10
* morbide_tst

There was also originally meant to be a connection between [[the Fairy Glade]] and [[the Echoing Caves]] in the Hall of Doors <ref>YouTube, ''Rayman 2: Mysteries of the Hall of Doors'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJQcHip4tDE</ref>.

== Early names ==
Below is a list of all of the currently known early names for levels, locations and characters.

* The [[Technical Check-up]] - originally the Emission Control station
* The [[Teensie]]s - originally Smallbeeings
* [[Polokus]] - originally Polochus
* [[The Marshes of Awakening]] - originally the Marshes of the Awakening and the Marshlands of Awakening
* [[The Fairy Glade]] - originally the Fairy's Glade (the early name is used in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'')
* [[The Canopy]] - originally the Wilderness
* [[The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] - originally the Sanctuary of Lava and Fire
* [[The Precipice]] - originally the Great Rift
* [[The Top of the World]] - originally the Roof of the World
* [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] - originally the Sanctuary of Rock and Stone and the Sanctuary of Earth and Stone
* [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] - originally beneath the Sanctuary of Earth and Stone

== Early plot ==
In early versions of the story from various sources, there are mentions of an interglactic circus or zoo as one of the main elements of the plot:

* In [[Ubisoft]]'s preview of their E3 1998 showcase, the plot of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' is described as such: "[[Rayman]] escapes an intergalactic zoo and needs the powers of his still-imprisoned friends to open the doors to Great Power."<ref>Ubisoft, ''E3'', https://web.archive.org/web/19980524022146/http://www.ubisoft.com/e398_index.html</ref>
* In the E3 1998 Press Release, the plot is further elaborated upon. "In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', our whirling-dervish hero [[Rayman]] confronts his wackiest adventure ever when [[Robo-Pirate|Robot pirates]] imprison him and his friends in a strange intergalactic zoo. [[Rayman]] escapes, but must free his friends and collect all the ingredients for a miraculous soup that opens the doors to Great Power. Only then will the mysterious robot pirate guild be defeated." The press release also mentions that the [[Magician]] would be the one to give [[Rayman]] his powers; [[Ly]], who gives [[Rayman]] his abilities in the final game, is said to help with her "dexterity".<ref>''Rayman 2'' E3 1998 Press Release, ''Rayman Reigns in New Fast-Paced, Plot-Driven Action Adventure Sequel For Nintendo 64, Sony Playstation, PC CD-ROM'', [[:File:Ray2us.pdf]]</ref>
* In an interview with Pauline Jacquey and [[Michel Ancel]], it is mentioned that the [[Robo-Pirate]]s intended to sell the inhabitants they capture to an inter-galactic circus.<ref>''Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Interview with Pauline Jacquey & Michel Ancel'', [[:File:Rayman 2 Interview 1999.pdf]]</ref>
* In a press release from May 13, 1999, the game is described as "an adventure to rescue [[Rayman]]’s friends from an intergalactic circus".<ref>''Ubi Soft’s beloved Rayman sells record-breaking 4.2 million copies!'', [[:File:Rayman 1999 4 Million Copies.pdf]]</ref>
* In a ''[[Rayman 2]]'' pre-order form that could be obtained from the ''[[Rayman Activity Centre|Rayman Activity Center]]'' box (and also from one of the PC demos<ref>Rayman Pirate-Community discussion forums, ''Rayman 2'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1438733#p1438733</ref>), it is mentioned that: "The Mysterious Guild considers [[Rayman]] to be the ideal specimen to display in its intergalactic zoo of rare species". The text also mentions that [[Rayman]]'s friends became the target of "Operation Kidnap", "the Guild's plan to fill its zoo with the universe's peace-loving residents". Similar information appeared in the official ''[[Rayman 2]]'' website, however the "intergalactic zoo" was replaced with an "intergalactic circus".<ref>Official ''Rayman 2'' website, https://web.archive.org/web/20000525161633/http://www.rayman2.com/fr/bad/rayman2_txt.html</ref>
* In an interview with [[Ubisoft]] (by the IGN staff), it is mentioned that the mysterious guild recruited the [[Robo-Pirate]]s to capture rare species from [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's planet]] and create an intergalactic zoo.<ref>IGN, ''An Interview with Ubi Soft'', https://www.ign.com/articles/1998/05/28/an-interview-with-ubi-soft</ref> However, in another part of the official ''[[Rayman 2]]'' website, a text can be found that describes the Mysterious Guild and the [[Robo-Pirate]]s as one single entity, that intended to sell the inhabitants of [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's planet]] to an intergalactic circus.<ref>Official ''Rayman 2'' website, https://web.archive.org/web/20000610224227/http://www.rayman2.com/fr/good/rayman2_txt_fs.html</ref>
* In the back cover of the first edition of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]]'', the following text is displayed prominently: "There's more than one way out of this circus!".
* The intergalactic circus was also mentioned in magazines<ref>Club Nintendo, No. 09, pg. 61, [[:File:R2-Scan-1.png]]</ref> and even in box art from one of the first canadian releases of the game.<ref>Rayman Pirate-Community discussion forums, ''Rayman 2'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1369362#p1369362</ref>

== Miscellaneous ==
The cheat code "GETELIX" is mentioned along with the other known cheat codes in the PC version, but it appears to be unused. It was most likely meant to give the player the [[Elixir of Life]] before entering [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].

==Unused textures==
Many textures which were later used in the PlayStation version can also be found in the files for the PC version suggestion they were originally meant to be included there as well. These include the textures for [[Antitoon]]s and the stone with [[Ly]]'s face. Textures from the Dreamcast version were found as well, such as the textures for [[Eig]]. Some leftovers, such as controller icons, where found from the Nintendo 64 version.

*The total amount of [[cage]]s show 0 in the first [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], instead of 7 like in the final version. [[Cage]]s can however still be broken and will result in it showing 1/0 etc.
*The heads-up display can't by triggered to show by pressing "J".
*The transparency doesn't work on all textures.
*[[Rayman]] starts with the upgraded [[Magic fist|fist]] from [[the Canopy]].
