'''''Rayman''''' for the Atari Jaguar is the most distinct version of the game. This is mostly due to the limitations of ~~the~~ cartridge and the Jaguar ~~system compared to the more powerful and capable PC/consoles~~. Differences range from levels having major gameplay and design changes to a lower quality soundtrack.

===[[Candy Château]] design===

One of the well known changes in the Atari Jaguar version is the heavily altered design of [[Mr Dark's Dare]]. Instead of riding on a [[frying pan]] in part 1, [[Rayman]] must follow several arrows of [[Ting]]s to reach the [[exit sign]]. In this phase are the [[corkscrew]]s and [[Swiss army knife|Swiss army knives]]; these assets are only used in this version and later on in ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. Part 2 is also changed; [[Bad Rayman]] does not appear at all, but more exclusive dangers like the blue lemonade pools with little icing platforms appear. Part 3 is mostly the same, with few minor changes.

The battle with [[Mr Dark]] is much unlike the one in [[Rayman 1|the console versions]]. [[Mr Dark]] has ~~only~~ 12 [[Resistance|health]] points, he attacks [[Rayman]] for a longer period of time, he only morphs into two creatures ([[Mr Skops]]/[[Mr Stone]] and [[Bzzit]]/[[Mr Sax]]/[[Space Mama]]) instead of three and the creatures sweat and walk/jump away when they are damaged enough. When [[Mr Dark]]'s [[Resistance|health]] reaches 0, [[Rayman]] does his celebration dance ~~but while~~ he does it, ~~a bunch of~~ [[Electoon]] faces from the [[Cage|medallions]] appear ~~all~~ around him, with ~~the~~ colourful text saying "well done."

In recent years following the release of the game, several betas and a prototype of the Atari Jaguar version have been leaked. The gameplay mechanics were most notably different in the beta. Some animations [[Rayman]] ~~did like~~ the handstand ended up being scrapped, the [[Ting]] counter was originally an enemy counter, and the HUD was placed in the middle of the screen rather than the top ~~left/right~~.

The prototype ~~version~~ is more similar to the final version, although there are many differences between the two. Glitches in the prototype can sometimes render it unplayable, especially if it is played on ~~a Jaguar~~ emulator.
