'''''Rayman 2 Forever''''' (known simply as '''''Rayman 2''''' in the USA) is a port of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' that was released only on the Game Boy Color, and is the sequel to ''[[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Rayman]]'' on the same handheld console. Unlike [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|its predecessor]], whose plot was similar to that of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], this game follows the same plot as ''[[Rayman 2]]''. All of the music is taken directly from [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the first Game Boy Color game]], only with added beats in some tunes. Instead of using a password system, ''Rayman 2 Forever'' has a battery save, and allows the player to have up to three save files. The graphics also appear less advanced, most likely due to the fact that the game is longer and cartridge space limits would not allow for more complex visuals. Despite its name, ''Rayman 2 Forever'' bears no connection to ''[[Rayman Forever]]'', a compilation of several PC titles which was released in 1998.

The plot follows that of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' to an extent. [[Rayman]] has been captured and is freed by [[Globox]]. He then sets out to reunite the [[Four masks of Polokus]] and defeat [[Razorbeard]]. Many other plot points, such as [[Rayman]] meeting up with [[Clark]], [[Carmen]] and freeing [[Ly]], have been removed. The only reappearing characters he meets are [[Ly]], [[Ssssam]], [[Globox]] and [[Polokus]].

Unlike ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]] are not always found within sanctuaries and are never guarded by a guardian. Instead they appear as collectibles near the [[Spiral Door]] at the end of the level they appear in. The amount of levels present has also been decreased from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and the final level is now [[Tomb of the Ancients#Game Boy Color version|Tomb of the Ancients]] instead of [[The Crow's Nest]]. The final boss takes place there, with it oddly enough being against a [[Henchman 800]] rather than [[Razorbeard]]. The same boss had previously appeared after [[The Precipice#Game Boy Color version|The Precipice]] and are the only instances [[Rayman]] has to battle a [[Robo-Pirate]] in the game. Once the game is finished, [[Rayman]] will be taken to a level selection area where he can revisit past levels to collect missing collectibles.

*In 2011 a pirated ''Rayman'' game for the Game Boy Color known as ''Rayman Advance 2'' was discovered, with a box nearly identical to that of the North American box art for ''[[Rayman Advance]]'' for the Game Boy Advance. Despite this, the game is in fact a tagged ROM of ''Rayman 2 Forever'', in which the logo of dumping group Venom appears after starting up.
