'''''Rayman 3D''''' is a port of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', and a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS, in which it makes use of the 3DS's stereoscopic 3D graphics.  It is also playable in 2D mode.
'''''Rayman 3D''''' is a port of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', and a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS. It is almost identical to the Dreamcast version of the original game, but now takes advantage of the 3DS's stereoscopic 3D display.


==Description==
==Differences from ''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''==
*''Rayman 3D'' is built off the Dreamcast version of ''Rayman 2'', and shares the same [[the Isle of Doors|Isle of Doors]] hub level, as well as most exclusive cheats and graphical enhancements.
*The Hint Stone, Purple Lum, and ledge leading to Globox Village in the Dreamcast version were removed in the 3DS game.
 
==Technical issues==
Like ''[[Rayman DS]]'', the 3DS port contains several glitches exclusive to this revision.
 
*The skybox in the Woods of Light is broken, scrolling improperly along with the camera, and appearing either zoomed too far in or out.
*Sound effects are too soft compared to the game's soundtrack, although this can be fixed by adjusting the sound mixing in the game's options.
*[[1000th Yellow Lum|The 1000th Yellow Lum secret suffers from a myriad of glitches that make it difficult to obtain.]]
 
==History==
The existence of ''Rayman 3D'' was leaked several weeks in advance of its announcement by the Australian Classification Board, although they gave little information beyond the title; in the press release in which they officially announced the game, [[Ubisoft]] revealed that, like the iOS version of ''Rayman 2'', ''Rayman 3D'' was to be based directly on the well-received Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. Four screenshots were also unveiled: they show that ''Rayman 3D'' will feature significantly reworked graphics. The improved lighting system is visible in the screenshots of [[the Prison Ship]] and [[the Bayou]], and the new stereoscopic depth effect can be seen clearly in the screenshot of the [[Whale Bay]]. The screenshot of [[the Fairy Glade]] shows that the [[keg]] has been remodelled; presumably, other models in the game will receive the same treatment.
