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.

===Plot===
According to an advertisement poster, a similar plot from [[Rayman (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled SNES version]] was supposed to be used in [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]]. The original plot followed a boy named Jimmy who created a world on his computer called Hereitscool. When Hereitscool became infected with a virus, Jimmy entered his virtual world and took on the persona of [[Rayman]] in order to defeat the virus. Reasons for this plot being scrapped are unknown.

== Atari Jaguar early prototype ==
On 25th August 2008, a YouTube video showing an early prototype of [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari 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 an early demo version, which displays even more differences between the final version.

This version is a later build from the prototype, now including proper collision and all the worlds in the rom as in the final version. Functions to load levels from all worlds exist, but only the first two have actual maps. Leftover graphics and other data is however available for other worlds.
