Over the years, a considerable amount of information regarding the early development of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] has  been unveiled, mainly through beta versions leaked to the public and [[Rayman Designer hacking|''Rayman Designer'' hacking]]. An interview also revealed that [[Rayman]] had had his limbs removed due to technical limitations.

On 25th August 2008, a YouTube video showing an early prototype of the Jaguar version was uploaded. Two months later, this was leaked to the public along with 19 prototypes or other Jaguar titles. Along with this leaked prototype, there is also a beta version, which displays even more differences between the final version.

This version begins with [[Rayman]] dropping down in what appears to be a [[the Dream Forest|Dream Forest]] level, and feeling grumpy the second he hits the ground. Some elements in the game do not seem to be detected by [[Rayman]], even the enemies such as the [[Hunter]]s and [[Moskito]], indicating poor collision detection. Interestingly, [[Rayman]] can also perform handstands and attack with his feet, and his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] can be charged up to be more powerful, which is displayed with an icon at the bottom left corner and the word ‘Nova’ next to it.
