The gameplay in Rayman M is split into two main modes, Racing and Battle.


==Racing Mode==
===Racing Mode===
In this mode, the players take part in a foot race and face a number of obstacles depending on which environment they are playing in.  There are no power-ups in this mode, although throughout each course there are [[Purple Lum|Purple Lums]], speed ramps and small trampolines that are useful. This mode has four different types of racing game. Obstacles include boxes that the player has to shoot up to eight times in order to pass, bear traps and electric bars.

===Training===
* '''Training:''' This mode allows the player to explore the course and practice before playing in the other modes, as well as setting their own personal records. Only a single player can play in this mode.

* '''Race:''' This mode involves up to four characters to race each other, the first one to the finish line wins.  In single player mode, the other players are computer controlled and there are three laps to run, while in multi-player mode the players can set how many laps to run before winning. 
* '''Popolopoï:''' This mode uses a time limit in which a character must complete three laps in. Although the time starts at 20 seconds, the time can be increased by shooting small butterflies called [[Popolopoï]], which come in different colours that represent how much time is given. Only a single player can play in this mode.
*'''Lums:''' In this mode, the player has to complete three laps while collecting the number of [[Yellow Lum|Yellow Lums]] required in order to legally win, which can be used at later points of the game. Only a single player can play in this mode.

===Battle Mode===
This mode involves up to four characters to race each other, the first one to the finish line wins.  In single player mode, the other players are computer controlled and there are three laps to run, while in multi-player mode you can set how many laps to run before winning. 
 
===Popolopoï===
This mode uses a time limit in which you must complete three laps in. Although the time starts at 20 seconds, you can increase your time by shooting small butterflies called [[Popolopoï]], which come in different colours that represent how much time you would get. Only a single player can play in this mode.
 
===Lums===
In this mode, you have to complete three laps while collecting the number of [[Yellow Lum|Yellow Lums]] required in order to legally win, which can be used at later points of the game. Only a single player can play in this mode.
 
==Battle Mode==

Rather than an obstacle course, the Battle mode is made up of an arena in which you run around playing three different modes.  Unlike the Race mode, this mode uses power-ups.

===Lum Spring===
In the mode, you have to collect as many [[Lum|Lums]] (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.   


===Lum Fight===
* '''Lum Spring:''' In the mode, the player has to collect as many [[Lum|Lums]] (which unusually look like crystals this time) as they 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 him or her prevent the opponents from reaching them first, they are equipped with ice bullets to freeze them, thought the others' shots have to be avoided.
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.    


===Capture the Fly===
* '''Lum Fight:''' Each player starts with five hit points each, and the player has to knock all of the opponents' hit points in order to score Lums. Each time a player dies, they respawn somewhere else 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 opponents.  Uses the same winning conditions as Lum Spring.    
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.


=Environment=
* '''Capture the Fly:''' This game is similar to tag - the player has to find a [[Light Fly]] and keep hold of it as long as possible without getting hit by an opponent's shot.  The character is equipped with five bounce bullets which are only effective on the player in possession of the Fly.  The player that reaches the winning conditions first wins.
The game follows the same canon as ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', and consist of four different worlds for each mode, each with three stages.  The world you play in also determines the difficulty of the game, going from Beginner to Advanced.  As the player progresses, the harder difficulties are unlocked.


Many of the worlds in ''Rayman M'' resemble locations from ''Rayman 2''; for example, [[Ly's Palace]] resembles the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]].
==Environment==
The game is set in the same environmental universe as ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', and consist of four different worlds for each mode, each with three stages.  The world the players play in also determines the difficulty of the game, going from Beginner to Advanced.  As the player progresses, the harder difficulties are unlocked.  Many of the worlds in ''Rayman M'' that resemble locations from ''Rayman 2'' include [[Ly's Palace]], which resembles the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], and the [[Dark Sewers], which are reminiscent of the [[Tomb of the Ancients]].


=Characters=
==Characters==
At the start of the game, five characters are available, and as the player progresses through the game, he or she will unlock the remaining characters as well as skins for them.  Each character has their own musical theme in the Racing mode, and have their own method of gliding, though they all shoot the same way [[Rayman]] does.
