According to an advertisement poster, a similar plot from [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled SNES version]] was supposed to be used in [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]]. The original plot followed a boy named Jimmy who created a world on his computer called Hereitscool. When Hereitscool became infected with a virus, Jimmy entered his virtual world and took on the persona of [[Rayman]] in order to defeat the virus. In other magazine publications, Jimmy will alternatively named Kevin. Reasons for this plot being scrapped are unknown.
