'''''Rayman M: Multiplayer''''' (known as '''''Rayman Arena''''' outside of Europe | '''''Rayman M: Multiplayer''''' (known as '''''[[Rayman Arena]]''''' outside of Europe) is a multiplayer spin-off of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. In Europe, it was released only on the Sony PlayStation 2 and PC on the 30th November 2001, while in the United States it was released on the Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube in addition to the PlayStation 2 and PC.

Unlike the other Rayman games, this game does not have a notable plot, other than that the characters are in a sporting competition. | ||

Only a single player can play in this mode. | This mode uses a time limit in which you must complete three laps in.

===Lum Spring=== | |||
In the mode, you have to collect as many [[Lum]] (which unusually look like crystals this time) as you can in order to reach the winning conditions - in a typical game, this is up to five Lums - or before the time runs out. To help you prevent the opponents from reaching them first, you are equipped with ice bullets to freeze them, thought you'll also have to avoid their shots. | In the mode, you have to collect as many [[Lum]] (which unusually look like crystals this time) as you can in order to reach the winning conditions - in a typical game, this is up to five Lums - or before the time runs out.

===Lum Fight=== | |||
Each player starts with five hit points each, and you have to knock all of the opponents' hit points in order to score Lums. Each time a player dies, they respawn somewhere in the arena. A negative Lum is given to a player that loses to a self-infliction. Various power-ups called Generators are scattered around, and contain a different weapon to use against your opponents. Uses the same winning conditions as Lum Spring. | Each player starts with five hit points each, and you have to knock all of the opponents' hit points in order to score Lums.

===Capture the Fly=== | |||
Game is a lot like tag - you have to find a [[Light Fly]] and keep hold of it as long as possible without getting hit by an opponent's shot. You are equipped with five bounce bullets which are only effective on the play in possession of the Fly. The player that reaches the winning conditions first wins. | Game is a lot like tag - you have to find a [[Light Fly]] and keep hold of it as long as possible without getting hit by an opponent's shot.
