===Early designs===

[[File:Rayman-3-beta-000001.jpg|thumb|[[Rayman]] fighting [[Count Razoff|Razoff]], showing the early HUD (head-up display).]]

[[Rayman]] ~~had at least 4 designs during game~~ development~~. First it had to appear as in~~ ''[[Rayman 2]]'', a design similar to ''[[Rayman 2]]'' with a yellow ~~scraf~~ and new shoes, a design similar to ''[[Rayman 3]]'' with a yellow hood and ~~shoes as in~~ ''[[Rayman 2]]'', until he got to his final design.

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. He also appeared in a design similar to that of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', with a yellow scarf and new shoes, and a design similar to that of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', with a yellow hood and his ''[[Rayman 2]]'' shoes, until he got to his final design.

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 [[Rayman 3|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 [[Rayman 3|the final game]].

* Alternative [[Rayman]] textures using his second early design.

* Textures reminiscent of [[Rayman 2]], including textures of effects, worlds, [[Ly]], [[Clark]], [[Sam]], [[~~Murphy~~]]...
