Only the PC, Nintendo 64, and Dreamcast versions (including their derivatives like the [[Rayman 3D|DS/3DS]] and [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape (iOS)|iOS]] ports) feature a consistent level set. The PlayStation version cuts down the number of levels and shortens existing ones, while [[Rayman Revolution|the PlayStation 2 version]] expands existing levels and even adds new ones. This list does not include [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]], which is a completely separate game.

The Nintendo 64 version, along with the PC version, is the original version of the game. The Nintendo 64 version features a different soundtrack in MIDI format, which was later reused in the [[Rayman DS|Nintendo DS port]]. Several of the menu transactions are exclusive to this version.

The Sega Dreamcast version retains the high quality textures from the PC version, while slightly improving some. A new area has been added in [[the Woods of Light]] called [[Globox Village]], where the player can access new minigames by collecting [[Globox Crystals]]. This is the first version of ''Rayman 2'' to allow for widescreen and the only version where the aspect ratio can manually be changed. [[The Hall of Doors]] has been replaced by [[the Isle of Doors]]. Several more [[Robo-Pirate]]s have been added as well as a new type which shoots bombs. This is also the first version to have the cutscene in [[the Prison Ship]] where [[Rayman]] frees the prisoners, which was cut from the original versions due to time constraints.
