Not much is currently known about the development of the 3D game that eventually became the final ''Rayman 2'', however, from pre-release screenshots and footage, it is clear that level designs underwent significant evolution, and the HUD was at one point drastically different to the HUD seen in the final game. Recent texture hacking led to the discovery of more pre-release elements, textures for a third red coloured sphere and its pyramid base were located, it is unknown why these textures went unused and where the objects they represented were meant to be placed. Despite not being used in the game itself, they can be made to replace the other used colourations via texture hacking. | Not much is currently known about the development of the 3D game that eventually became the final ''Rayman 2'', however, from pre-release screenshots and footage, it is clear that level designs underwent significant evolution, and the HUD was at one point drastically different to the HUD seen in the final game.
