In comparison to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], the gameplay has been simplified for the young player. The number of main levels in the game has been reduced to 15 (2 in [[the Dream Forest]], the [[Blue Mountains]] and [[Picture City]] and 3 in [[Band Land]], [[the Caves of Skops]] and [[Candy Château]]]), each divided into 3 parts (maps). Each level covers a distinct educational theme, such as numbers, nature and sports.

Most regional releases are available in three levels of difficulty, but some, like the games that teach French and the PlayStation releases, are only available in one. Sometimes, all three levels of difficulty are available in the same game and can be selected from the menu, and sometimes, they are split into two different games, one for level 1 and another for levels 2 and 3. The different levels of difficulty do not only provide different educational tasks, but also different maps within levels, sometimes almost identical, sometimes completely different: the maps are usually longer and harder in the higher levels. The differences between languages, for a given map and difficulty, are always minor.

One of the Korean releases, "레이맨 프렌치이야기: 다이아몬드를 찾아라!!" ("Rayman French Story: Find the Diamonds!!"), is notable for being branded as teaching two languages, French and English, but it is only a copy of the English title ''French with Rayman'', with no Korean content whatsoever.

In addition to the main levels, there is an area called [[Betilla's garden]], containing five short levels which the player may play to practice their skills without losing [[Life|lives]]. The game also features a new world map, different from that of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].
