	*The textures in ''Rayman DS'' are generally more jagged than the Nintendo 64 version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. This is partially due to the DS's lack of texture filtering. However, the textures themselves also received an overall downgrade in quality compared to the Nintendo 64 version. This is most noticeable on transparent textures such as [[Lum]]s, [[laser]]s, energy balls, waterfalls, etc. These types of textures contain a heavy amount of color banding and appear extremely jagged.		*The textures in ''Rayman DS'' are generally more jagged than the Nintendo 64 version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

	Unlike any other version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', ''Rayman DS'' included many technical problems in its gameplay. The swirls that radiate from the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] or [[Jano]]'s staff, for example, are not located exactly where they should be. Another particularly troubling problem is experienced during the encounter with [[Umber]] and in the flower ride in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]: in both cases, [[Rayman]] should be locked to the respective surfaces, but can ''slip off'', even during [[Umber]]'s cinematic. The only way to lock [[Rayman]] back to the surface's center is to press the R button, which is used for strafing. Also, when replaying [[the Marshes of Awakening]], [[Ssssam]] can completely disappear during his cinematic. Sometimes the [[Spider (Rayman 2)\|spider]] at the beginning of [[~~the~~ Tomb of the Ancients]] will disappear a few seconds after the cutscene in which he appeared.
