'''''Rayman''''' for the Atari Jaguar is the most distinct version of the game. This is mostly due to the limitations of the cartridge and the Jaguar system compared to the more powerful and capable PC/consoles. Differences range from levels having major gameplay and design changes to a lower quality soundtrack. It was released in 1995 only to North America.

''Main article: [[Rayman (early production)]]''
In recent years following the release of the game, many prototypes and a beta of the Atari Jaguar version have been leaked. The gameplay mechanics were notably different in the prototype. Some animations [[Rayman]] did like the handstand ended up being scrapped, the [[Ting]] counter was originally an enemy counter, and a [[mosquito]] appeared stationary.
The beta version is more similar to the final version, although there are many differences between the two. Glitches in the beta can sometimes render it unplayable, especially if it's played on a Jaguar emulator.
Some scrapped stuff like [[cloud]]s with eyes can only be found through [[Rayman Designer hacking|the hacking of ''Rayman Designer'']].

==[[Candy Château]] design==
===[[Candy Château]] design===
One of the well known changes in the Atari Jaguar version is the heavily altered design of [[Mr Dark's Dare]]. Instead of riding on a [[frying pan]] in part 1, [[Rayman]] must follow several arrows of [[Ting]]s to reach the [[exit sign]]. In this phase are the [[corkscrew]]s and [[Swiss army knife|Swiss army knives]]; these assets are only used in this version and later on in ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. Part 2 is also changed; [[Bad Rayman]] does not appear at all, but more exclusive dangers like the blue lemonade pools with little icing platforms appear. Part 3 is removed from this version.
