'''''Rayman Revolution''''' (known in the United States as '''''Rayman 2: Revolution''''') is an updated remake of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' made specially as a launch title for the Sony PlayStation 2 in 2000. Several changes have been made for this version, notably the upgraded graphics, the inclusion of new worlds and mini-games, and the order of the gameplay. Its difficulty was also slightly higher of ''Rayman 2''. Similar to the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'', some levels were shaped differently or removed (i.e. [[Echoing Caves]]).

Akin to games such as ''Sonic Adventure'', the levels in ''Rayman Revolution'' are accessed via three new hub worlds: [[The Minisaurus Plain]], [[Globox's House]], and [[Rainbow Creek]] that allow free roaming, making this version a lot less linear than the previous versions. There are also new events, missions, and puzzles to accomplish. In addition, new characters are introduced such as Bzzit, and Rayman can acquire new powers, items and abilities, such as the ones he can buy with the [[Yellow Lum]]s he collected at [[the Magic Well]], an equivalent to the typical item shop.

Characters such as [[Ly]], [[Clark]], and the [[Teensie]]s appear a lot more often in this version. Ly increases Rayman's health by offering minigames, which include the Walks of [[The Walk of Power|Power]] and [[The Walk of Life|Life]] and the roller coaster segment that was previously in the [[Top of the World]], in exchange for the [[Familiar Spirit]]s, a new kind of spirits that are trapped in the cages. Meanwhile, the Teensies host the Stone Circles, which allow Rayman to return to places he has already visited.

The game requires a lot more backtracking than before to collect the rest of the Lums that Rayman could not reach for the first time. Objects such as cannons, beacons, plants and mushrooms appear throughout the game, and need Rayman to gain his new powers and specials items (such as the Rain Mask) in order to use them. A notable difference between the previous versions is that Rayman is not granted with the shooting power at the beginning, but is simply given the ability to punch, though he is shortly given the shooting power by the Teensies.  As Rayman progresses, his shots get much stronger thanks to [[Silver Lum]]s, until he can produce a shot that is as powerful as an exploding grenade.

Later in the game, Rayman is given some items to help him, such as the Rain Mask, which performs a Rain Dance like Globox's and helps plants to grow, and the Lums Radar, which is a magnet that can help him find any Yellow Lums that he may have missed. Reminiscing the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']], Rayman can be shrunk to help him squeeze through small holes by eating mushrooms that he can water with the Rain Dance.

Unlike the previous versions, Rayman can keep his [[Helicopter|flying power]], which he lost beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava, conditionally - he can only use it whenever he is flying above any body of lava.

==Glitches==

This is a list of some of the most notable glitches in the game, among others.

===List of glitches===

'''Walking Shell Sound''' - If you turn up or turn down the sound effects volume in the options menu, you hear different sounds. One of them is a walking shell sound. If you hear it while turning up the volume, try holding the 'right' button, and exit the pause menu. The sound will continue.

'''Flying First-Person View''' - It often happens when you run through the door that leads to where you meet Clark, in the Menhir Hills. In View mode, you can fly around the level, and you can even leave it, and fly out to "Orange World". This also allows Rayman to run around in the walking shell tracks. It is still unknown as to how exactly it is performed.

2. Use the flying helicopter power to hover over the lava.

5. You can now swim around in the air. However, given that the game sees it as swimming, Rayman will eventually die due to a "lack of air".

'''Rayman Goes Insane''' - Perform the air swimming glitch and fly/swim to the entrance of the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire. Fly as high as you can, or Rayman will just enter the level normally. If you do it right, it should look like this:

After a long time, Rayman will start leaving the screen, but he will come back later, and start flying through the rock.
