During the early production stage of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', early footage, screenshots and artwork show that development initially began with [[Rayman]] utilizing his design from ''[[Rayman 2]]'', as opposed to the new redesign that debuted with the final game. Other early elements include unused areas, such as an [[Aquatic world|underwater level]], and differences with the HUD, which resembles the HUD of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' in some early screenshots. Some screenshots appear fairly similar to the final game, but still show some differences in aesthetic and lighting. There was also several kinds of [[Hoodlum]]s that were going to appear, but got scrapped from the final game. | During the early production stage of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', early footage, screenshots and artwork show that development initially began with [[Rayman]] utilizing his design from ''[[Rayman 2]]'', as opposed to the new redesign that debuted with the final game.

This game mode is also available in the ''[[Rayman 3]]'' [[List of Rayman demos|demo]]. It contains the third section of [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. Between the beta and final version of this section, the most striking differences are the sounds and musics. Some dialogs had not yet been added to the game, such as those of [[Globox]] and [[Rayman]] during the cinematic of the section. [[Globox]] does not call [[Rayman]] to get aboard his [[Armaguiddon]] but honk to get him. Also, he doesn't say anything about the enemies and do not compliment the buildings. But he is frightened at the sight of the stone gaps, when he's with [[Rayman]] in the room where they are located, [[Globox]] yells : "Ah! A mixer!". The name given to this game mode was finally used for a mini-game in the final version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The name of this game mode refers to a classic, '' Space Invaders'. | This game mode is also available in the ''[[Rayman 3]]'' [[List of Rayman demos|demo]].
