==Gameplay==

* '''Training:''' This mode allows the player to explore the course and practice before playing in the other modes, as well as setting their own personal records. Only one player can play in this mode.

* '''[[Popolopoï]]:''' This mode uses a time limit in which a character must complete three laps in. Although the time starts at 20 seconds, the time can be increased by shooting [[Butterfly|butterflies]] named [[Popolopoï]]s, which come in different colours that represent how much time is given. Only one player can play in this mode.

Rather than an obstacle course, the battle mode is made up of an arena in which characters run around playing three different modes. Unlike the race mode, this mode uses power-ups.

==Environment==

''Rayman M'' is set mainly in environments based on those of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. The game consists of four different worlds for each mode, each with three stages. The world the players play in also determines the difficulty of the game, going from beginner to advanced. As the player progresses, the harder difficulties are unlocked. Many of the worlds in ''Rayman M'' that resemble locations from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' include [[Ly's Palace]], which resembles [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], and the [[Dark Sewer]]s, which are reminiscent of the [[Tomb of the Ancients]].

==Characters==

*'''[[Globox]]:''' [[Rayman]]'s best friend, who joined the competition to overcome his shyness (unlike other games he appeared in, he is not scared of the bad guys). He has three unlockable [[skin]]s.

*'''[[Teensie]]s:''' A pair of [[Grand Minimus]] [[Teensie]]s. They have three unlockable [[skin]]s.

*'''[[Henchman 800]]:''' One of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s from ''[[Rayman 2]]'', particularly of the red variety. He has three unlockable [[skin]]s.

*'''[[Tily]]:''' A small [[fairy]] speculated to have replaced [[Ly]] the Fairy. [[Tily]] must be unlocked.

*'''[[Henchman 1000]]:''' A most perfected version of the [[Henchman 800]]. [[Henchman 1000]] must be unlocked. He has three unlockable [[skin]]s.

Objects are located in racing courses that will give the player special benefits, sometimes intended to slow the player down in a race, or to speed the player up. Some objects refer to ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

* '''[[Switch]]es''': These [[switch]]es, unlike those in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', are square-shaped and labelled with icons – either a [[Robo-Pirate]] head, a [[piranha]] or a [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]]. If the player shoots at a [[switch]], it will activate a hidden passage or will drastically alter the surrounding environment to stop opponent(s), but can also affect the player.

* '''Electric fences''': When the player touches the electrical beams from this fence it will electrocute the player resulting in the player to slow down.

These are the weapons present in the fighting stages of the game. In [[Lum Fight]] mode, they are taken from generators that are randomly scattered around the arena. In [[Lum Spring]] and [[Capture the Fly]] modes, there is only one weapon that is present, and is given to the player at the beginning of the match. This is the ice bullet for [[Lum Spring]] and the rubber bullet for [[Capture the Fly]].

==Soundtrack==

The game features a dynamic soundtrack by French composer [http://www.claudesamard.com/ Claude Samard]. Each battle level features its own theme, while the background music of the race levels is determined by the identity of the character currently in the first position – each character has their own theme music, and additional musical cues mediate whenever the game switches from one theme to another.
