It introduced items called "Rayman's Fist", "Rayman's Hair", "Rayman's Hoodie", "Rayman's Shoes" and "Rayman's Nose". Additionally, the game describes his hoodie to smell like "waffles, vanilla and determination". If the player wears all five of the [[Rayman]]-themed items at once, they turn into [[Rayman]] and get to play as him.

When equipped, "Rayman's Fist" summons [[Globox]] as an assist character, who then gives clues on how to obtain the remaining [[Rayman]]-themed items.

Notably, in this game [[Globox]] mentions that [[Rayman]] loves the smell of amber, cannot seem to get pirates out of his hair - presumably referencing the [[Robo-Pirate]]s from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' - and has always had trouble with [[fish]], which may reference his frequent encounters with the [[piranha]]s in the games.

The character came with skins to play as [[Raymesis]], [[Sir Rayelot]] and [[Raydvar]], a newly introduced member of [[Rayman's species]] who resembles Bödvar, another playable character from the game. [[Globox]] and [[Barbara]] were also introduced as skins for the characters Cassidy and Brynn, respectively. More ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' content, either for [[Rayman]] himself or from the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], has been added since then.
