  • The Flash demo takes place in a short unique level set in the Spellbound Forest where the player is tasked to rescue a friendly Bat from a cage.
  • The demo controls differently and Rayman starts with the helicopter power. Rayman's animations appear changed as well.
  • The music is a short loop of the Spellbound Forest's music.
  • Rayman starts with one extra life, but cannot get a game over even with no life left.
  • Rayman can only take damage by falling from the vine or the tree, or by jumping into the tree while on the ground, which subtracts two hearts from his health. This damage can be prevented by pressing down while on the bottom of the vine.
  • Rayman will retain his current damage if losing a life from drowning.
  • Rayman's hair will keep spinning while climbing if the player performs the helicopter at the same time as touching the vine.
  • There are no items besides a single cage. Breaking it and saving the Bat ends the demo.

  • Rayman has a victory animation for rescuing the Bat, which can be combined to other animations such as climbing, jumping or the helicopter.
  • In the files, various unused assets can be found, such as an alternate map of the level featuring a bigger tree and different vine, unique screens and animations, and a Ting tally going up to 3 with numbers above 1 being painted in red.
