	'''''Rayman Arena''''' is the American ~~release~~ of ''[[Rayman M]]'', released in 2002 ~~for the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox~~. The title was ~~altered~~ to avoid ~~misconceptions about the game being related to~~ the ESRB's ~~‘M for Mature’~~ rating.		The '''Xbox and GameCube versions of ''Rayman Arena''''' are the North American editions of ''[[Rayman M]]'', released in 2002. The title was changed for the North American market to avoid confusion with the ESRB's "M" (Mature) rating.

	==PlayStation 2, ~~PC==~~		Unlike the PlayStation 2 and PC versions, which are direct localizations of ''[[Rayman M]]'', the Xbox and GameCube releases feature significant differences. As these versions were developed later than the original release, the designers utilized the extra time to implement various changes, particularly to the Battle mode.
	~~{{Main\|~~Rayman M}}

	The PlayStation 2 and PC versions of the game very closely mimic their overseas counterparts. Most changes were for localization, such as changing any ''‘Rayman M’'' logos into ''‘Rayman Arena’''. The only other major change difference lies in the addition of the LAN mode to the PC version. The map for the race tracks in the bottom-right of the screen is no longer shown by default and, as in ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', Ice Bullets have now been added to the Race mode and Lum Race. In the PC version, the menu navigation has been slightly changed and the save system has been changed to avoid any save file corruption. Some levels have minor changes made to them.		==Modifications==

	~~==Xbox, GameCube==~~
	The Xbox and GameCube had never received a port of ''[[Rayman M]]'' (due to the consoles having not been released at the time of ''[[Rayman M]]'''s release), so the designers made several changes before releasing the ''[[Rayman M]]'' ports (many pertaining to Battle mode).

	===Modifications===
	This is a list of notable modifications to the Xbox and GameCube ports, among others.		This is a list of notable modifications to the Xbox and GameCube ports, among others.
