Editing Rayman 2: The Great Escape (section)

== Trivia ==
* This is the game in the Rayman series with the most ports. To put this into perspective, this was a launch title for both the Nintendo DS and its successor the Nintendo 3DS. Not to mention an an iPhone version (before its removal), a Game Boy Color version, and even a PS2 remake. And that's not even counting the two Play Station Network versions (one being a port of the PS1 version, the other being a port of the PS2 remake)
* In France, editions of the PC version of ''Rayman 2'' were sold with the [[Rayman: The Animated Series|''Rayman'' cartoon]]. Editions of the PlayStation version were sold with a digital watch in Europe and with a beach ball in the United States.
* In the Japanese version of Rayman 2 , some characters changed color. Rayman 's shirt became blue, Sssssam and Jano became green, Jano and Polokus ' hat became red, and Ly 's clothes became white. These changes were also applied to the Japanese version of Rayman Revolution.
* The plot of Rayman 2 has had some changes over time. Originally, Rayman 2 took place after the original game, in which Mr. Dark has been defeated. Evil robotic invaders from space arrive and imprison many of Rayman's friends, one of whom is Betilla the Fairy. The robots, led by a character named Chief, were set on converting Rayman's planet into a cold ball of metal. It's speculated that Chief was the original villain, eventually to be replaced by Razorbeard. Like in the original Rayman, all of the characters would have been limbless, and old friends, along with new ones, would have made appearances and helped Rayman.
* German magazine PC Player in January 2000 named Rayman 2 "Best Platform Game 1999".
* Another Ubisoft game released in 2000, ''Donald Duck: Quack Attack'' reuses several sound effects from ''Rayman 2''. It was also developed with Ubisoft OpenSpace .
* In 2015, video game designer Tim Schafer revealed that ''Rayman 2'' was a major influence on his game ''[[Psychonauts]]''.<ref>https://youtu.be/9WWSsw-16vw?t=1m25s</ref>
* Rayman 2 was going to have "Tank Controls" but it was changed to free-roaming controls when playtesters found the controls unplayable. An example of what that would have been like can be seen with the ''[[Tonic Trouble|Tonic Trouble: Special Edition]]'' game released for PC which is the early alpha version of that game.
* There's a French Disney magazine with a synopsis of Rayman 2 saying that Globox is the game's antagonist. Globox is actually Rayman's friend and the antagonist is Razorbeard.
* According to some early artwork, Ly was originally a Cat Girl rather than a fairy, which explains why she has a tail and that she sometimes runs on all fours during the Walk of Life and Walk of Power racing levels.
