==Technical Problems==
==Technical Problems==
Unlike any other version of ''Rayman 2'', ''Rayman DS'' included many technical problems in its gameplay. The swirls that would radiate from the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] or the [[Guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams]]' staff, for example, wouldn't be located exactly where they were supposed to be. Another particularly troubling problem is experienced during the "battle" against [[Umber]] and in the flower ride in the [[Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]: in both cases, [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] should have been locked to the respective surfaces, but would ''slip off'', even during Umber's cinematic. The only way to lock Rayman back to the surface's center would be to press the R button.
