'''''Rayman Mini''''' is an upcoming game for the Apple Arcade service. It is set to launch along with the service on September 19th, 2019.
'''''Rayman Mini''''' is a game released exclusively for the Apple Arcade service on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV. It launched with the service on September 19, 2019. On October 18 the game was released on Mac devices. The game features similar graphics and gameplay to that of the previous mobile game, ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. In August 2025 the game was delisted, making it unplayable for Apple Arcade users.


In this game, [[Rayman]] is reduced to size of an ant. Players are tasked with clearing levels by jumping off insects and plants to clear levels as quickly as possible.
== Story ==
Although a story is never shown in the game, the [[Flaming Teensy]] can be seen in the trailer casting a spell on [[Rayman]] which makes him shrink in size. It is stated that [[Rayman]] is on a quest to reverse the spell in the game.

== Gameplay ==
Similarly to previous mobile titles, the player will automatically run in each level, being able to attack and jump to avoid obstacles and collect [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]]. However, unlike ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', where it is possible to switch direction, the player can only move in one direction, similar to ''[[Rayman Jungle Run|Jungle Run]]'' and ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run|Fiesta Run]]''.
 
=== Adventure ===
[[File:RM - Adventure Mode.png|thumb|right|171px|The adventure mode]]
The main game mode is the adventure mode which was added for the game's launch. It is split up into multiple worlds, each with their own set of levels. There are six worlds in total, each with 8 levels and a boss fight (except the [[Bonus (Rayman Mini)|bonus world]], which has two levels and a boss fight). The sixth world isn't unlocked until all previous five bosses have been beaten. By collecting every [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] in a level, the player will be rewarded with an [[Electoon]] which can be used to unlock [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|outfits]]. Each boss level will also earn the player a [[Swag Coin]], which can be used to unlock additional [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|outfits]].

=== Challenges ===
[[File:RM - Challenge Mode.png|thumb|right|177px|The challenge mode]]
 
On April 3, 2020, the game was updated to add [[Online Challenges]]. Similar to those in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', the player must run through an infinite level to gain as much distance as possible. Meeting certain requirements will allow the player to receive a cup at the end of the given week. These trophies earn the player points towards rewards.

== Unused content ==
With the game running in the same engine as ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' it shares a lot of leftover assets from that game. This includes [[the Captain]], the intro level and several unused assets as well, such as the [[Kung Foot]] mode.
 
=== Main theme ===
The game has an unused main theme that was presumably supposed to be used on the main menu screen, but got replaced by the song that played when viewing the [[Sacred Tree]] in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. The song can be heard in [https://raytunes.raymanpc.com/#r_mini the ''Rayman Mini'' section] of [[RayTunes]].
 
=== Music levels ===
In the 1.2.0 update unfinished music levels were added to the game files, which were later finished and used for the music mode in version 1.3.0. There was one music level for every world and a test one in the developers personal folder. While they did not have any music in their current state, the music from the music levels in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' (excluding [[Grannies World Tour]]) were found in the files.

=== Story ===
Unused text for the game's story can be found in the files. This includes an introduction and ending to the game. These do however not correspond with the story shown in the trailer, as there the [[Flaming Teensy]] is the cause for [[Rayman]] shrinking.
 
{{Quote
|text=All was well in the [[Glade of Dreams]] Until [[Rayman|our hero]] accidentaly swallowed a strange enchanted fruit. Or... Did [[Flaming Teensy|someone]] just pull a small prank on him?
|sign=Unknown
|source=''Rayman Mini'' (files)
}}
 
{{Quote
|text=After a final showdown with the [[Flaming Teensy]], our hero finally finds a way to reverse his curse. And all was back to normal in the [[Glade of Dreams]].
|sign=Unknown
|source=''Rayman Mini'' (files)
}}
 
=== Unused challenge ===
An unused challenge in the style of [[the Infinite Tower]] can be found in the game files. Loading it into the game will only include the template start and will not generate any bricks. It may have been intended for an event but eventually scrapped.

=== Glotoad ===
In the files of the game, specifically the "personal" folder where test assets from the developers are stored, there is an unused patch bank using [[Globox]]'s sprites for the [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|toad]]'s skeleton. Along with it is an actor template which uses it together with the [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|toad]]'s animations. According to a developer it was made for test purposes, although they briefly considered adding it into the game.<ref>Twitter, @Yamzho, https://twitter.com/Yamzho/status/1678073683569418240, « As far as I remember, it was only for test purposes. But we had fun with it and, for a brief moment, thought about including it in the game. »</ref> It was later confirmed by a second developer to have been added into the game as a easter egg.<ref>Twitter, @Jmgennisson, https://twitter.com/Jmgennisson/status/1720158077352038800, « Oh just remembered but you can find him, hidden in one level of Mini. »</ref> The places where he appears are in the third level of [[the Trunk]], where he shows up from behind a wooden window after waiting a while,<ref>Twitter, @_MisterMiles_, https://twitter.com/_MisterMiles_/status/1720195399019872402</ref> and in the Garden, where he is hiding in the background of the Swamped's area with his eyes and head barely visible to the player.

== Reception ==
Upon its reveal, ''Mini'' received mixed reception from fans of the series. While some expressed gratitude over [[Rayman]] still being relevant, others criticized the game for being another mobile game rather than a new console game. When ''Mini'' was finally released, it still got mixed reception; while the game was praised for its challenge and graphics, criticism drew upon its music, boss battles and how it did not contain story elements that the trailer promised.
