Rayman Rush is a remake of Rayman M developed by Ubisoft Shanghai only for the Sony PlayStation in 2002. While it was the same game as Rayman M both in terms of plot and concept, only the racing half of the game was ported. Also there are a lot of other differences, probably due to the PlayStation's limited specifications, resulting in a poor conversion.

Differences from Rayman M

• The Teensies are replaced by a pink female Globox called Globette. She uses Tily's sound clips sped down, and for an unknown reason, shares the musical theme of Dark Globox, a character who only appears in the GameCube and Xbox versions of Rayman Arena. Because of this, the player starts with only four characters in this version.
• The menu music is lower in pitch.
• Each character is now equipped with freeze bullets like in the Rayman M battle game Lum Spring, which freezes a character for five seconds when shot.
• Some of Rayman M's bonus levels now use textures and are made into proper levels, most notably the Canopy.
• The Water Canyon level has a new map.
• The game has a slightly different ending, which is shown after beating just the Championship.
• Only 2 players can play together this time.
• While it also has the same intro as Rayman M, the part which introduces the Teensies was removed.
• The Popolopoï mode is renamed to "Target Mode", and a time attack mode was added.
• The Lums Mode is now all about collecting as many Yellow Lums as possible while racing against another character.
• Tily's voice is apparently a mix of her voice clips and Ly's, which are sped up.

Trivia

• There is a bug in the game which can lock out the player from getting 100%. By completing all modes and beating the original lap/race times the player will reach 82.4%. The remaining percentage is obtained from Lums Mode. The problem is that the game only increases the percentage the first time a level in Lums mode is completed, meaning that if the player does not collect all Lums in one go then they cannot get the percentage from them anymore. Not all Lums from every level has to be collected for 100% since there is some leeway with every Lum totaling out at 100.4%, however, to ensure that the game is not permanently locked out of 100%, it is recommended getting all, or close to all, Lums in one go in each level.
• At some point the game was called Rayman Race.
