On | On 25 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 begins with [[Rayman]] dropping down in a [[the Dream Forest|Dream Forest]] level, and getting stunned the second he hits the ground, which he does when falling from great heights. Not all objects have collision detection, such as [[hunter]]s and [[Moskito]]. Interestingly, [[Rayman]] can also perform handstands and attack with his feet, and his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] can be charged up to be more powerful, which is displayed with an icon at the bottom left corner with the word ‘Nova’ next to it. | This version begins with [[Rayman]] dropping down in a [[the Dream Forest|Dream Forest]] level, and getting stunned the second he hits the ground, which he does when falling from great heights.

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. | 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.
