A smartphone game based on the game's art style, ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', was developed by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Casablanca]] and released for iOS and Android devices on November 7, 2013. It is the sequel to the previous title, ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', which was based off ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In 2015, another mobile spin-off was released, titled ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', which unlike the previous titles allowed the player to change direction while moving.
