Players can either choose the Single-pak link, in which only one Game Pak is needed to play with up to 2 players, or the Multi-Pak link, in which each of up to four players will need a copy of the same cartridge each. | ||

Players which have both ''Rayman 3'' on the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo GameCube can link the two games together using the special Game Boy Advance/GameCube link cable. Both of these have content only playable through this method. On the GameCube, two bonus stages - [[2D Madness]] and [[2D Nightmare]], are made unlockable based on progress in the Game Boy Advance version, although the former is easily unlockable on other platforms and the latter cannot be accessed without [[List of cheats in Rayman 3 ( | |||

On the Game Boy Advance, when the link is detected (due to data having to be transferred from the GameCube game to play), shorter bonus stages are available to play. A new bonus stage becomes available for every 100 [[Yellow Lum]]s collected (out of 1000). If connected to a fully completed GameCube version, where [[2D Nightmare]] has also been completed, then [[Ly's Punch Challenge 3]], the final bonus level, unlocks.<ref>Gamecubicle.com, | |||

As is the case in most [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]], [[Rayman]] will need certain powers to reach certain areas. As a result, he will have to return to replay these levels later on in the game, once [[Ly]] the Fairy has given him whatever power he needs. The only power he has at the beginning of the game is his [[telescopic fist]], which functions much like it did in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. | As is the case in most [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]], [[Rayman]] will need certain powers to reach certain areas.

* The game could take place between ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'' as the characters of the latter appear to have prior knowledge of [[Black Lum]]s, as none ever request an explanation as to what they are or where they come from, suggesting perhaps that this is not their first encounter with them. The one exception to this is when [[Murfy|Murphy]] reads the origin of the [[Black Lum]]s in the manual, although this seems to be done for the player's benefit and not necessarily the characters, as [[Black Lum]]s are never mentioned in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', is it possible that their introduction to the storyline took place in the gap between the two games. | * The game could take place between ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'' as the characters of the latter appear to have prior knowledge of [[Black Lum]]s, as none ever request an explanation as to what they are or where they come from, suggesting perhaps that this is not their first encounter with them.

* [[André]]'s appearance in the handheld game is highly debatable. Nowhere in the game or its instruction manual is he referred to, the [[Black Lum]] that [[Globox]] swallows is never named as anything more than an average [[Black Lum]]. For this reason it is fair to say that [[André]] does not appear in the handheld version, which explains why no one has prior knowledge of him (that they reveal) in [[Rayman 3|the console version]]. | * [[André]]'s appearance in the handheld game is highly debatable.

* However, if the game truly does take place between ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', it is forgivable to question why the characters never reference the events of this game, particularly since [[Globox]] swallows a [[Black Lum]] in both storylines but in [[Rayman 3|the console version]] everyone behaves as if this is the first time he has done such a thing. | * However, if the game truly does take place between ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', it is forgivable to question why the characters never reference the events of this game, particularly since [[Globox]] swallows a [[Black Lum]] in both storylines but in [[Rayman 3|the console version]] everyone behaves as if this is the first time he has done such a thing. | ||
* At the beginning of the level [[Swamp of Bégoniax]] on the Game Boy Advance, [[Rayman]] explicitly shows knowledge of the character [[Bégoniax]] "Do you think [[Globox]] might have gone to [[Bégoniax]]'s marshes?", however, [[Rayman]] and [[Bégoniax]] show no obvious recognition of each other in [[Rayman 3|the console version]], and there is no reason to suspect that they have ever had any interaction in the past.
