Graphics are not less advanced due to the game being longer (it has fewer maps than R1 GBC and a lot of cartridge space is unused)
Added language links

== Plot ==
== Plot ==
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]].

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.
