It was later re-released as a PlayStation 2 classic on the PlayStation 3 in North America. Several changes have been made for this version, notably the upgraded graphics, the inclusion of new areas, bosses and mini-games. Its difficulty was made slightly higher than that of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Several levels underwent some minor changes, such as [[the Precipice]] and [[the Echoing Caves]]. Most changes are however only cosmetic. | ||

The regular music tracks for each level do not play when [[Rayman]] revisits them, instead simply featuring an ambiance track. Certain pieces of music still appear, most notably during the sections with more action, such as [[the Precipice]] and when engaged in battle with [[Robo-Pirate]]s.

One exception is in the [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], where visiting the optional temple (phase 2) makes the main track play after getting back to phase 1 again. | ||
Another musical difference between the game and the original versions is the omission of the special music that plays during the tally screen display at the end of the level. Instead, the game simply continues playing whatever track was playing when the level ended. | Another musical difference between the game and [[Rayman 2|the original versions]] is the omission of the special music that plays during the tally screen display at the end of the level.

Objects such as cannons, beacons, plants and [[mushroom]]s appear throughout the game, and need [[Rayman]] to gain his new powers and special items (such as the [[Rain Mask]]) in order to use them. A notable difference between the previous versions is that [[Rayman]] is not granted with the [[Magic fist|shooting power]] at the beginning, but is simply given the ability to [[telescopic fist|punch]], though he is shortly given the [[Magic fist|shooting power]] by the [[Grand Minimus]]. As [[Rayman]] progresses, his shots get much stronger thanks to [[Silver Lum]]s, until he can produce a shot that is as powerful as an exploding grenade. | ||
Later in the game, [[Rayman]] is given some items to help him, such as the [[Rain Mask]], which allows him to perform a [[Rain Dance]] like [[Globox]]'s and helps plants to grow, and the [[Lums Radar]], which is a magnet that can help him find any [[Yellow Lum]]s that he may have missed. Recalling [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Rayman]] can at one point be shrunk to help him squeeze through a small hols by eating a [[Yellow mushroom]] that he needs to water with the [[Rain Dance]]. | Later in the game, [[Rayman]] is given some items to help him, such as the [[Rain Mask]], which allows him to perform a [[Rain Dance]] like [[Globox]]'s and helps plants to grow, and the [[Lums Radar]], which is a magnet that can help him find any [[Yellow Lum]]s that he may have missed.
