===''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''===

While nothing from the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] appears in the final version of ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'', the game's files feature a table for unused [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiibo Amiibo] support. Among the characters listed on the table is [[Rayman]], suggesting that he was not only meant to appear in the game but that a [[Rayman]] Amiibo was also planned to be produced at some point. The Amiibo never came to fruition, however, presumably since [[Rayman]]'s lack of limbs would have made it challenging to create a figure of him.

===''XDefiant''===

A ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]''-themed map was added in the third and final season of the first-person shooter game ''XDefiant''. Contrary to the map’s name, Enchanted Forest, the stage actually appears to be set in the [[Jibberish Jungle]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The map features many cameos and easter eggs, including, but not limited to, the mountain monster from [[It's a Jungle Out There...]], pictures of [[Rayman]] (one of which sees him as a duck), [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], the [[Goth Teensy]], and [[Murfy]], functioning [[bouncy flower]]s, collectible [[heart]]s and [[Flying Punch]]es, and a [[warship]] and green [[Darkroot]]s in the background. The season also introduced a limited-time “Lum Hunt” mode exclusive to the map, in which players must collect the most [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] to win.

===''Riders Republic''===

Two hoodies based on [[Rayman]]'s were made available for a limited time in [[Ubisoft]]'s sports game ''Riders Republic''. They were only available on December 22 2025 as a reward in the game's holiday calendar. One hoodie featured [[Rayman's symbol]] in the center, while the other featured a logo commemorating the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]' 30th anniversary.
