It was released on the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 and the Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 on the 21st March, 2012. ''Rayman 3 HD'' features minor enhancements to visuals, such as a remade HUD, and makes a few changes in numerous areas. It was announced that the servers would shut down on November 11, 2017 or November 19, 2018, thus making the leaderboards inaccessible.<ref>[https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/1241617-Online-Services-Update-Masterlist-Forums Online Services Update Masterlist]</ref> This did however not turn out to be the case and the servers are still up in 2020.

It was announced on the 9th November, 2015 that ''Rayman 3 HD'' would be among the first group of titles that were to be Xbox One backward compatible.<ref>[http://news.xbox.com/2015/11/09/introducing-your-first-104-xbox-one-backward-compatibility-games/ Introducing Your First 104 Xbox One Backward Compatible Games]</ref> This version was updated with a new logo and fixed minor graphical glitches.

==Differences from ''[[Rayman 3]]''==
* The ''Hoodlum Havoc'' subtitle has been removed, and the font of the logo has been changed to match that of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
* The game now features subtitles for the cutscenes and some other in-game dialogue.
* The original version opened with a gameplay trailer cut to Groove Armada's 'Madder'. This has been removed and replaced with a new trailer featuring new music.
* The intro sequence originally began with the classic [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]] logo, used for the first three [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]], overlaid against a night sky. This has been cut.
* ''Rayman 3 HD'' features audio problems. Many music tracks start later than they should, and often contain glitches.
* In [[the Fairy Council]], a [[Ludiv]] originally spoke the line 'Oh my God, what is going on here?' In ''Rayman 3 HD'', this line is censored to 'What is going on here?' However, the words 'Oh my God' seen in the [[Crush]] minigame remain uncensored.
* Parts of the sky above the [[Clearleaf Forest]] have become black, and the colour of the water has undergone strange changes. The reasons for such discolourings are currently unknown.
* The bonus section of the game contains an "extra" which is a gallery of the artworks seen in the ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' [[The Art of Rayman Origins|art booklet]] which came with the collector's edition.
* The shadows of objects and characters have been known to glitch up, often passing directly through surfaces and appearing/disappearing at random. The shadows also sometimes are not cast according to the location of the light source, and instead appear directly beneath the caster. This is likely due to a lack of testing when experimenting with the newer shading technology.
* The [[jewel]]s and [[Red Lum]]s now cast light onto the geometry around them, as opposed to [[Rayman 3|the original version]], where only a glowing texture was placed around them.
* The [[Grand Minimus]]'s crown is now transparent.
* Level scores are now shown at the end of boss battle sections.

Rayman's training

{{Game
| name = Rayman's training
| image = [[Image:R2E3.png|center|320px|Rayman 2's E3 Trailer endscreen]]

}}

'''''Rayman's Training''''' (stylized as '''''Rayman's training''''') is the title of a computer animated short film produced by [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]] in 1998. Premiering at a European trade show/film festival hybrid by the name of IMAGINA 1998, ''Rayman's training'' has not been seen in its entirety since its original premiere. It is now lost media.

The short was made before and during the transitional period of ''[[Rayman 2]]'''s development from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype]] to the [[Rayman 2|3D game]], having apparently originated as pre-rendered cutscenes before being transformed into a short film.

==Plot and synopsis==
Very little is known of what the full plot of ''Rayman's training'' could have detailed, as the only existing footage of the short is in several scattered pieces, of which the order of where they might belong is not known. What is known is that the short stars [[Rayman]] on a log in the forest battling a punching bag character before collapsing out of exhaustion, and the [[Hunter]] from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype]] making a appearance.

There is a clip of a transition of [[Rayman]] being warped through a portal and flying through a world, before being revealed as the title screen to a game the actual [[Rayman]] is playing through a giant monitor while sitting on a chair. There is a clip of [[Rayman]] having letters of his name jump over hula hoops in an outdoor auditorium.

==Production and known sightings==
Very little is known about the production of the short, and who specifically worked on it. Production of the short is believed to have started alongside ''[[Rayman 2]]'' around 1996 to 1997, as evidenced by the 3D [[Rayman]] model being first used for a ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' advert, a French newsreel about [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]] in 1996 showing the production of the cutscenes of the original ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''Rayman's Training'', and clips of the short later appearing in two French ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' adverts from 1997. Various clips from the short can be seen in a ''GamesMaster'' reel from 1997.

Infamously, the most well-known example of ''Rayman's training's'' presence would be clips being used in ''[[Rayman 2]]'''s E3 1998 trailer, which was after the original 2D Rayman 2 was cancelled. Due to this timeframe, it can be speculated that some of Rayman 2's original cutscenes were later completed as a animated short, which would become ''Rayman's training''.

The sole known credit that can be given for ''Rayman's training'' would be a sound design company by the name of Farra Vox Studios, evidenced by a webpage on their website containing a photograph of the short with the name "Rayman training". The website of the French National Audiovisual Institute, ina.fr, lists the short as "Rayman's training", and is the only other source of the short's name.

There are no other known presences of ''Rayman's training''. None of Imagina's home media has the short included, Ubisoft has not acknowledged the short's existence in any form since 1998, and the short was never released to the public. It is now believed to be lost media.
