All Skins in Rayman M, Rayman Arena and Rayman Rush

Skins are unlocked in Rayman M/Arena/Rush. Most of the characters earning them in Rayman M, but all the characters get a skin in Rayman Arena and Rayman Origins. Each character unlocks up to three skins in Rayman M, but in Rayman Arena, all competitors have four skins each, except for Dark Globox, Rayman, Tily, Razorbeard and Razorwife, who only get one. Each skin (but Rayman's) changes the beat for the character's theme to what it is most suited to (e.g., Globox has his strawberry skin and is racing in the Extreme League. The beat for the Extreme League racing is fast, and the beat for the Advanced League is light and watery. Globox's skin will change the beat from the Extreme League to the Advanced League.). But if it is in its League, it will change to the Beginner League's beat (thumping in the background). The skins do not have this effect on battles. It is unnoticeable, but may be true that the skins in their league make the event slightly easier.

In Rayman Origins, there are 16 playable characters with different skins based on the original animated models of Rayman, Globox and the Teensies. Each character has an unique appearance and a backstory slightly hinted by the Bubble Dreamer's comments at the Snoring Tree, but their movements and animations are the same. As an exception, Globox Rayman and Red Globox appear to be Rayman and Globox themselves, but with a different colour palette. New characters are unlocked in bubbles by collecting a certain number of Electoons indicated by Murfy at the Snoring Tree. After beating the Land of the Livid Dead, players are able to choose the same character, and play using the same skin.

Rayman Legends has over 40 choices for players, of which some are skins and others distinct characters, many skins from Origins return, in addition to new ones for playable characters new and old. Many new skins are unlocked as the total amount of Lums collected in the game accumulate, though some skins require a sufficient amount of freed Teensies and the beating of a set level in order to be unlocked. Other skins can only be unlocked via DLC, with some being exclusive to specific platforms (eg. Assassin Ray is exclusive to PS3 preordered copies, Glob Cell for Xbox 360 and Avelina for Wii U and so on).
