''Rayman 2: The Great Escape'' was first developed to be a 2D sidescrolling platform game similar to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], and was planned to be released on the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.<ref>Unseen64.com, ''Rayman 2 [2D version - Unreleased]'', http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/11/rayman2-2d-cancelled</ref> Screenshots, videos and interviews indicate that the game would still involve an invasion of robots from space. The game featured enemies similar to the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and it also featured background platforming - using a device similar to a shower head and a toilet flush, Rayman could teleport from the foreground to the background (and vice-versa). One video in particular also featured [[Betilla the Fairy]], and showed her imprisoned in a cell.

This 2D game was cancelled in favour of the 3D version it became, though a playable prototype (version 01.12d) featuring one level is included in the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'', and is unlocked if the player collects at least 720 Yellow Lums out of the version's total 800. It was recently discovered that this prototype was last worked on at May 31st 1996 and was sent to the ''~~Playstation~~ RayMan 2 team'' so that they could incorporate one of its levels into their version of the game.

Line 281:

Dreamcast''' - This version is based on the PC version with improved graphics, added mini-games which are found in a new area known as [[Globox Village]], widescreen support and pirates that shoots bombs at you. The Hall of Doors have been replaced by [[The Isle of Doors]]. This is also the first version to have the cutscene in The Prison Ship where Rayman frees the prisoners.

'''~~Playstation~~''' - This version is the mot downgraded version with many levels being removed or merged together with several phases being left out. It does however have some new phases in levels, new cutscenes, voice acting, a 2D prototype bonus level. The total amount of Lums has been reduced from 1000 to 800 and the 1000th Lum has been removed. Instead of freeing Lums from cages you free Murphy's and fairys.

'''~~Playstation~~ 2 (~~Renamed~~ [[Rayman Revolution]])''' - This version has mostly added new features and graphical improvements such as previously 2D textures being reworked into 3D. New hub worlds have been added replacing The Hall of Doors, levels have been reworked (most noticeable The Fairy Glade and The Echoing Caves), new missions have been added, new cutscenes are used, new bosses have been added including the 4th guardian, new music has been added and new upgrades and mini-games are available by collecting Lums and freeing Familiar Spirits (which are found in cages).

'''Nintendo DS (~~Renamed~~ [[Rayman DS]])''' - This version is a almost direct port of the N64 version having the same lower quality MIDI soundtrack and graphics. It does however have technical issues that were not present in the N64 version.

'''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape (iOS)|iOS]]''' - This version is based on the Dreamcast version though doesn't include the mini-games. The demo version did however have the Lift mini-game available. To compensate for the iOS devices lack of buttons it uses virtual controls instead. This version is however no longer available to download for unknown reasons.
