==Early development==

===Ghost levels===

===Debugging features===

There are two debugging features mistakenly left in the GameCube version of the game. The first one is in the first part of [[the Fairy Council]]: holding R + Start will cause [[Murfy]] to stop flying until the player lets go. The second is in the fourth part of [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]: pressing the same buttons will cause the text "Salle 01" (French for "Room 01") to appear in the bottom left of the screen. If the player then holds the R button and presses Up or Down on the D-Pad, the number can be changed up to 05. Holding R and pressing Left on the D-Pad will then cause [[Rayman]] to be teleported to a specific location, depending on what number was displayed.

==Scrapped story==

*[[Murfy]] stayed with [[Rayman]] for a longer period.

*[[Clark]] appeared in the game.

*[[Hoodlum]]s could talk.

*[[Plum]]s could be destroyed with a fully charged [[Telescopic fist|shot]], spilling sticky juice around and allowing [[Rayman]] to climb onto otherwise slippery surfaces.

*Permanent powers were obtained through [[Silver Lum]]s. Those powers included charging [[Rayman]]'s [[Telescopic fist|fists]] faster, shooting with both [[Telescopic fist|fists]] (bestowed by the ambidextrous [[Silver Lum]]), strafing, and a power called the Razibus allowing [[Rayman]] to shoot his [[Telescopic fist|fists]] further as well as hit multiple enemies (in order to use this power, [[Rayman]] had to shoot his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] when crouching).

*An early version of the [[Shock Rocket]] was obtained through Snipe Lums.

==Scrapped levels==

===[[Aquatic world]]===

There were plans to have a level included in the game known as the ''[[Aquatic world]]''. It was scrapped before its official name could be revealed.

===[[Chess minigame]]===

There were two minigames that were cut from the final version. One is called the [[Chess minigame]]. It was scrapped before its real title name could be revealed.

===[[Xowar minigame]]===

The other minigame, which also can be found by examination of the game's disc, is called the [[Xowar minigame]]. Like the previous minigame, it was scrapped before its real title name could be revealed.

==Scrapped characters==

===[[Bonton]]===

A [[Bonton]] appears in the [[Xowar secret]] in [[the Tower of the Leptys]].

===[[Clark]]===

[[Clark]] was originally intended to appear according to ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]''.

===[[Glute]]===

A [[glute]] also appears in the [[Xowar secret]] in [[the Tower of the Leptys]].

===[[Goaty]]===

===[[Gunslinger Hoodlum]]===

One of several scrapped [[Hoodlum]]s, the [[Gunslinger Hoodlum]] was planned to appear in the game.

===[[Hoodloon]]===

Another of the scrapped [[Hoodlum]]s, [[Hoodloon]]s do appear in the game as background objects in [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]].

===[[Hoover]]===

A carnivorous plant called [[Hoover]], was planned to be an enemy in the game. It was cut for unknown reasons.

===[[Kagoubinôme]]===

A variety of [[Hoodlum]]s that were supposed to be in the game called the [[Kagoubinôme]] were scrapped from the final release.

===[[Ly]]===

[[Ly]] makes a cameo appearance in [[the Longest Shortcut]], though the presence of concept art showing a redesign might imply an intended larger role.

===[[Muddibog]]===

===[[Murkin]]===

===[[Scaleman]]===

[[Scaleman]] appears in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']].

===[[Snoot]]===

A background creature called [[Snoot]] was supposed to appear, but was scrapped like the [[Goaty]] and [[Snorty]], to avoid overloading the universe with creatures.

===[[Snorty]]===

The third of the creatures that were cut from the game to avoid overloading the universe with creatures, is called [[Snorty]].

===[[Wooglah]]===

===[[Xowar]]===

[[File:Xowar-R3HH-PC-TTOTL.png|320px|thumb|right|The [[Xowar]] in its cell in [[the Tower of the Leptys]].]]

The [[Xowar]] appears in the [[Xowar secret]].

===[[Zaq]]===

The [[Zaq]]s were supposed to be in the game, but was later cut due to time constraints.

{{clear}}

==Scrapped objects==

===[[Lav-O-Matic]]===

The [[Lav-O-Matic]] was intended to appear in the ''[[Aquatic world]]'' along with the [[Zaq]]s, but all were scrapped due to the levels 'lacked rhythm' compared to other levels.

===[[Plum]] container===

An unused object that appeared to contain a [[plum]] was discovered by hacking the game.

==2002 development build==

* Instead of "Grab Those Red Things Okay?" he says "Grab The Red Lums, They're Bursting With Energy!"

* Instead of "Oh, No Here Comes Numbskull Again", he says "Ah Ha! A Hoodlum!"

* Instead of "Oooh, this place is crawlin’ with them." and "Aaah! They’re shootin’ at us! How original of them." he says "I Saw Everything, It's Their Chef, Andre, He Turns the Red Lums Into Hoodlums" and "If We Don't Stop Him, We'll Be Invaded!"

* Instead of "Ok, you did a little better, I'm going to reward you with your first parachute jump, parachute not included!" he says "We Shook Them Off, I'll See You On The Ground"

'SK8.00' is the debug name for the first [[Teensie Highway]] which has some minor differences compared to the final game.

* The landing sound effect when jumping from platform to platform uses the generic 'Boing!' sound.

* When jumping from platform to platform using 'X' the player gets rewarded with a bonus and a 'X2' score multiplier followed by the [[Shock Rocket]] sound effect playing in a loop.

* [[Rayman]] cheers on saying "Woohoo!" when jumping on platforms

* Some instruments in the soundtrack for the [[Teensie Highway]] are either missing or are raised or lowered in volume from the other instruments

* The final segment of the [[Teensie Highway]] has an ending music track that still remains in the final game but was left unused.

'Wood. 19' Contains two segments of [[Clearleaf Forest]], the first being the segment that introduces the player to the [[Shock Rocket]], and the following segment involving the same segment that was used in the 2002 demo.

* The [[Shock Rocket]] segment is missing cutscenes for finding the secret gems under the trap door and for opening each of the 3 steel doors. Instead [[Rayman]] just stays still for a couple of seconds.

* The hitting target sound effects uses those from [[Hoodlum Headquarters]] for [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] in the final game instead of a wood breaking sound effect.

'MOOR. 60' Contains a segment from [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]] where [[Rayman]] must free the 3 [[Teensie]]s and open the door to access the second [[Teensie doctor]].

* The level reuses ''[[Rayman 2]]'' fire textures

* The [[plum]] music is slightly altered containing more instruments

* The [[Teensie]]s had different voice actors and their dialogue was also shown in text.

* The level is also missing some music in the third quarter of the level

* The [[Hoodoo]]'s theme was completely different sounding dark and dramatic

==2002 [[List of Rayman demos|demo]]==

[[File:R3HH-BETADemo-PC-LoadingScreen.png|320px|thumb|right|Several of the enemies in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' including the scrapped [[Xowar]] appeared on this early PC version loading screen.]]

In 2002, some platinum copies of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' were bundled with a [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] disc of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and these were identified with a sticker in the front cover. There were other [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]] games for PC that bundled the same [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] too, along with a few other [[List of Rayman demos|demos]] featuring different levels than the ones seen in the PlayStation 2 version. This [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] featured some differences:

* The loading screen of the PlayStation 2 version features a slot machine with a rotating 3D model of a [[Hoodmonger]]. A similar style of loading screen was used in the final version of ''[[Rayman M]]'' for the PlayStation 2.

* [[Globox]] and [[André]] have different voices than the ones used in [[Rayman 3|the final version]].

* The lock target image is different.

* The points given by some actions are different, like for example, a [[Jewel|green gem]] rewards the player with 100 points instead of 1500.

===Dangerous Game===

===[[Special Invaders]]===

[[File:SpecialInvaders-Arcade-R3HH-PC-TitleScreen.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Special Invaders]], as seen in the final version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''.]]

This game mode is also available in the ''[[Rayman 3]]'' [[List of Rayman demos|demo]]. It contains the third section of [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. Between the beta and final version of this section, the most striking differences are the sounds and musics. Some dialogs had not yet been added to the game, such as those of [[Globox]] and [[Rayman]] during the cinematic of the section. [[Globox]] does not call [[Rayman]] to get aboard his [[Armaguiddon]] but honk to get him. Also, he doesn't say anything about the enemies and do not compliment the buildings. But he is frightened at the sight of the stone gaps, when he's with [[Rayman]] in the room where they are located, [[Globox]] yells : "Ah! A mixer!". The name given to this game mode was finally used for a mini-game in the final version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The name of this game mode refers to a classic, '' Space Invaders'.
