==Technical issues==
==Technical issues==
Unlike any other version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', ''Rayman DS'' included many technical problems in its gameplay. The swirls that radiate from the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] or [[Jano]]'s staff, for example, are not located exactly where they should be. Another particularly troubling problem is experienced during the encounter with [[Umber]] and in the flower ride in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]: in both cases, [[Rayman]] should be locked to the respective surfaces, but can ''slip off'', even during Umber's cinematic. The only way to lock Rayman back to the surface's center is to press the R button, which is used for strafing. Also, when replaying [[the Marshes of Awakening]], [[Sssssam]] can completely disappear during his cinematic. Sometimes the spider at the beginning of [[The Tomb of the Ancients]] will disappear a few seconds after the cutscene in which he appeared.
