*The game suffers from an unstable frame rate that frequently drops below the Dreamcast version's 60 frames per second. This is due to the original 3DS' technical constraints. The New Nintendo 3DS, a revision of the 3DS with superior hardware, is capable of playing the game without any frame drops- however, in order to take advantage of the additional power, the New 3DS must be hacked to gain the capability of running homebrew. Special game modification software called HANS can then "overclock" the CPU, allowing the game to run at a consistent frame rate. | *The game suffers from an unstable frame rate that frequently drops below the Dreamcast version's 60 frames per second.

* | *Skyboxes are broken in many levels. It may scroll improperly along with the camera, appear either zoomed too far in or out, disappear, or remain static. This only affects the standard "blue sky with clouds" texture. | ||
*The water in the Fairy Glade is transparent, unlike the original, exposing geometry underneath which was not always meant to be seen. In addition, in the first section where Rayman encounters a pipe spewing hazardous waste into the water, the waste's textures are not properly mapped and do not animate. | *The water in the Fairy Glade is transparent, unlike the original, exposing geometry underneath which was not always meant to be seen.
