A smartphone game based on the game's art style, ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', was developed by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Casablanca]] and released for iOS and Android devices on November 7, 2013. It is the sequel to the previous title, ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', which was based off ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In 2015, another mobile spin-off was released, titled ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', which unlike the previous titles allowed the player to change direction while moving. In 2019, another mobile spin-off was released exclusively for Apple Arcade, titled ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', which went back to not allowing the player to change direction while moving, akin to the first two titles. In 2024, a tabletop board game almost entirely themed after ''Rayman Legends'', titled ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]'', raised funds on Kickstarter. | A smartphone game based on the game's art style, ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', was developed by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Casablanca]] and released for iOS and Android devices on November 7, 2013.

This version utilizes touch screen controls for [[Murfy]], similarly to the Wii U and PlayStation Vita versions, while the console is in handheld mode through the new [[Murfy's Touch]] painting.
