''[[Rayman M]]'', later released as ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', was originally two separate projects later merged into one. The first one, which ended up being the racing part, was named Rayman Tribe and the second one, the battle part, was named Rayman Shooting Fish. Originally the racing levels were meant to be more closely based off of the levels from ''[[Rayman 2]]''. <ref>~~http~~://~~gamedesign~~.~~free~~.fr/~~docs~~/~~RAYMAN%20M%20PlayTest%20Feedback%20~~-~~%202nd%20series~~.doc</ref>

== Early level concepts ==

Based on early concept art of the race levels they were originally going to be more closely based off of the levels from ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Images found in the files show concepts for levels such as [[the Woods of Light]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. In the final game some of these concepts were used, but heavily altered.
