==Early production==

The development of ''Rayman Origins'' began in late 2008, approximately. At this early stage, the developers drew inspiration from the contemporary platform games ''LittleBigPlanet'' and ''New Super Mario Bros Wii''. Shortly after ''Rayman Origins'' was first announced, footage showing a demonstration of its mechanics appeared. This featured a health system which was very much like that of the original ''Rayman'' - it would have used the same yellow and red bubbles that indicated the player's health. Since then, this system was debunked by later playable demonstrations.

A world composed entirely of artwork and art supplies, based on [[Picture City]] from the original game, was planned for inclusion but abandoned during the development of the game. It would have featured references to art styles such as pop art and pixel art.

*[[Mystic Peak]] – screenshots depict a mountain location surrounded by floating landmasses which recall the floating earth platforms of the original game. The mountain is dotted with small buildings. Its peak is hidden by clouds, but the tentacles of another boss – a gigantic pink monster resembling a squid – can be seen descending from its heights. [[Moody Clouds]], a steampunk level in which Rayman rides on the back of [[Moskito]], who shoots enemies down with the energy projectiles from his proboscis, is part of Mystic Peak.

*Picture – a world composed entirely of artwork and art supplies. Based on [[Picture City]] from the original game. In ''Rayman Origins'' it will feature references to art styles such as pop art and pixel art. This world was abandoned during the development of the game.

*[[The Land of the Livid Dead]] – a level with a strong resemblance to both [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and [[Tomb of the Ancients]] from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. This is where the game's villains live; the antics of the protagonists annoy the villains, setting the events of the game in motion. It happens to be the same location where [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] revisit in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. The Land of the Livid Dead has a golden palette, and features giant skulls, bones and cobwebs. Concept art depicts graveyards, insects, zombies, a strange hotdog-like character who appears to be selling hotdogs, and numerous tentacled monsters. This seems to be the final level of the game
