* In the Japanese localisation of the game, some characters with purple in them were changed. Rayman's body was made blue, [[Sssssam|Sssssam the watersnake]] turned into a kind of green, and [[Jano]]'s hat was turned red. But the most bizarre change was made to [[Ly]], whose body was changed from yellow/purple to white/pink.
