'''''Rayman M | '''''Rayman M''''' (released in North America as '''''Rayman Arena''''') is a multiplayer spin-off game based on ''[[Rayman 2]]''. In Europe, it was released for the PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows on 30 November 2001. The North American release followed, expanding the platform lineup to include the Xbox and GameCube alongside the PlayStation 2 and PC versions. | ||
In 2002, [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Shanghai]] developed a port for the PlayStation titled ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', which retained only the racing portion of the game. | |||
''Rayman M'' is a 3D game that combines obstacle racing, arena battles, and traditional platforming mechanics. Unlike the main entries in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], the game does not feature a narrative campaign, focusing instead on a sporting competition between the characters. | |||

=== ''Rayman Arena'' (PlayStation 2 and PC) === | |||
The North American PlayStation 2 and PC versions of ''Rayman Arena'' closely mimic the original European ''Rayman M'' releases. Most changes were for localization, such as replacing the ''Rayman M'' logo with ''Rayman Arena''. However, there are some functional differences: | |||
* '''LAN Mode:''' Added to the PC version. | |||
* '''Interface:''' The race track map in the bottom-right of the screen is hidden by default. The menu navigation was slightly altered. | |||
* '''Gameplay:''' Ice Bullets were added to the Race and Lums modes (a feature also seen in ''[[Rayman Rush]]''). | |||
* '''Technical:''' The save system in the PC version was modified to prevent file corruption. | |||
