'''''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''''' is the second major game in the ''Rayman'' series, and is the sequel to ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. It was first released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and was followed by ports for the Sega Dreamcast, PC, and Sony PlayStation, with each port being different in its own way perhaps due to the specifications of each console. It was also the first 3D game of the series, and introduced many brand new major characters, though featured almost none from its predecessor. ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' is often abbreviated as '''''Rayman 2''''' or (to avoid confusion with the similarly named ''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'') '''''R2'''''. The Sony PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'' was later released as a PSOne Classic on the North American PlayStation Network, on December 18, 2008. On March 1, 2010, ~~Gameloft ported~~ the ~~DC version~~ of ~~R2 to~~ the iPod Touch ~~and the iPhone~~.

===[[Tonic Trouble]]===

Characters from each game made cameo appearances in the other game. In ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', Rayman would be seen during the game's end credits. In Rayman 2, [[General|a salesman]] who previously appeared in the intro sequence of the PC version of [[Tonic Trouble]] sells the [[Grolgoth]] to [[Razorbeard]] late in the game. [[Tonic Trouble]] was worked on (though not ~~developed~~) by [[Michel Ancel]], used the Rayman 2 engine, originally appeared on the same platforms as Rayman 2, and was also released by [[Ubisoft]], giving reason for the crossovers, though Tonic Trouble had not fared well critically or commercially, whereas ''Rayman 2'' became successful in both areas.

==Rayman Mobile==

''[[Rayman Bowling]]'', ''[[Rayman Golf]]'', and ''[[Rayman Garden]]'' are spin-offs of Rayman 2 and its remakes. Gameloft ~~ported them~~ to the N-Gage and other Samsung and Nokia phones.

==Remakes==

*''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' - PlayStation 2 remake that was essentially a slightly more difficult version of the original, with added levels, enemies, and a new free-roaming feature.

*''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' - PlayStation 2 remake that was essentially a slightly more difficult version of the original, with added levels, enemies, and a new free-roaming feature which replaces [[the Hall of Doors]].

*''[[Rayman DS]]'' - DS remake identical to the original N64 version, though many glitches and bugs were included that were not present in the original.

*''Rayman 2'' was also ported to the Apple iPhone and the Apple iPod Touch by Gameloft. It appears that the Sega Dreamcast version was used as the basis for these ports. The graphics are more impressive than ''Rayman DS'' due of the increased capabilities of these platforms.
