This game mode is available in the ''[[Rayman 3]]'' [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], released in 2002. It contains a sequence of the third section of the [[Clearleaf Forest]]. Many differences can be found between this version and the level of the final version. Some additional differences appear in the PlayStation 2 version. Like the musics played when [[Rayman]] is in fight with the [[Hoodlum]]s.
