Rayman Rush
Rayman Rush is a remake of Rayman M developed by Ubisoft Shanghai only for the Sony PlayStation in 2002. While it was the same game as Rayman M both in terms of plot and concept, only the racing half of the game was ported. Also there are a lot of other differences, probably due to the PlayStation's limited specifications, resulting in a poor conversion.

Differences from Rayman M
- The Teensies are replaced by a pink female Globox called Globette. She uses Tily's sound clips sped down, and for an unknown reason, shares the musical theme of Dark Globox, a character who only appears in the GameCube and Xbox versions of Rayman Arena. Because of this, the player starts with only four characters in this version.
- The menu music is lower in pitch.
- Each character is now equipped with freeze bullets like in the Rayman M battle game Lum Spring, which freezes a character for five seconds when shot.
- Some of Rayman M's bonus levels now use textures and are made into proper levels, most notably the Canopy.
- The Water Canyon level has a new map.
- The game has a slightly different ending, which is shown after beating just the Championship.
- Only 2 players can play together this time.
- While it also has the same intro as Rayman M, the part which introduces the Teensies was removed.
- The Popolopoï mode is renamed to "Target Mode", and a time attack mode was added.
- The Lums Mode is now all about collecting as many Yellow Lums as possible while racing against another character.
- Tily's voice is apparently a mix of her voice clips and Ly's, which are sped up.

Trivia
- It was revealed in March 2013, that the game can be completed at 100%. Until then only 99.2% was known to be possible. The remaining 0.8% was previously thought to be tied to time records throughout the game.
- The missing 0.8% is tied to Lums Mode. Players must win with all of the Lums collected in Lums Mode for each level. If any Lums remain uncollected after winning the race for the first time, the game will only award 2.3% instead of 2.5%, causing the missing 0.2% from the respective levels to become unobtainable. Replaying the Lums Mode and collecting the remaining Lums will not award the additional 0.2%.
- If a player won a Lums Mode for the first time but failed to collect all the Lums for every level, the maximum percentage they would be able to acquire is 96.8%
- At some point the game was called Rayman Race.[5]
