m Should the entire App Store description really be here? It looks rather unprofessional since it's just a copy of a description with social media links etc.

'''''Rayman Classic''''' is a mobile port of the PC version of the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' game with much of the soundtrack from the PlayStation version. It was released for Apple iOS on the App Store on February 18th 2016 and for Android on Google Play on March 17th 2016. Unlike earlier ports of the PC version, such as the [[Rayman Advance|Gameboy Advance]] and [[Rayman DSi|Nintendo DSi]] versions, this one doesn't leave out any content. The [[Breakout]] minigame is present, as well as the short animations shown after each boss-fight. Due to the touch screen oriented nature of mobile devices, the game uses virtual buttons and a virtual analog stick. While the iOS version has support for physical gamepads, the Android version currently lacks this feature even though it's advertised in the store description.
 
As of November 24th, 2016, the app is free with ads. The ads can be disabled through an in-app purchase, though this is done automatically if the player bought the game prior to it becoming free.

It was released for Apple iOS on the App Store on February 18th 2016 and for Android on Google Play on March 17th 2016. Unlike earlier ports of the PC version, this one has all the content including the first phase of Bongo Hills, the [[Breakout]] minigame and the cutscenes the player gets after each boss-fight. Due to the touch screen oriented nature of mobile devices, the game uses virtual buttons and a virtual analog stick. As of writing, the iOS version has support for physical gamepads, but the Android version does not.

*The intro is taken from the American version.
While this is the most complete port of the PC version, it does have some issues present. Repeating sound effects, such as [[Rayman]] charging his fist, the helicopter and [[Plum|plums]] moving in water, stop repeating after a few seconds. This is the first version of the original Rayman game to include achievements, not including the Anti Dark-Matters from the DSi version, through Gamecenter and Google Play Games. Some are however glitched and therefor impossible to obtain. Some can still be obtained if replaying the game and redoing what is required for the achievement. Other issues involve incorrect music playing during the [[Magician|Magician's]] [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus stages]], no music playing during the encounter against [[Mr Dark]] in [[Mr Dark's Dare]] and the characters Rayman meet, such as [[Joe]] and [[Tarayzan]], not speaking like in the PC version. There's also a huge glitch with the [[Breakout minigame]] making it near impossible to beat. Whenever the ball is lost, the player can't move Rayman. This means that if Rayman is positioned under an obstacle, launching the ball will make it bounce back right down.
*The music is taken from the PlayStation version.
*Self-repeating sound-effects like Rayman charging his fist, Rayman's helicopter and a plum moving in the water stop after a few seconds. This is most likely a bug.
*There are no save-points on the map as the game saves automatically once a level is completed.
*There are 3 difficulty modes to choose from. Easy mode grants the player unlimited lives, original mode is how the game originally was and the challenge mode has the player start with 0 lives and [[continue|continues]].
*The game has Gamecenter support with achievements and leaderboards. There are leaderboards for how fast the player beats each level, how fast the player beats the game and how many [[Ting]]s the player has collected as a total.
*The music in the [[Magician|Magician's]] [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus stages]] is bugged, sometimes not playing and sometimes playing the wrong music.
*The characters Rayman meet, such as [[Joe]] and [[Tarayzan]], do not speak, though the text is still displayed on screen.
*The 3 save slots available are already named and can not be changed. The names are RAY, BET and JOE. BET most likely refers to [[Betilla the Fairy]].
*The boss music in [[Candy Château]] doesn't play.
*The Breakout minigame is found on the map-screen once [[Mr Dark's Dare]] is completed.
*The Punch and Jump buttons are the same from ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'' and ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', but only in a different design.


==Store description==
While there are a bunch of glitches, the game has also fixed a few issues preset in the original game. The music, which was known to be lacking in the PC version, is now mainly taken from the Playstation version. The intro plays in full-screen and it's English voice-acting is taken from the Playstation version. The game now includes an auto-save feature which auto-save each time the player enters the map. Due to this the save points have been removed from the map. The Breakout mini-game can now also be found on the map instead once [[Mr Dark's Dare]] is completed.

Rayman Classic is a mobile port of the PC version of the original Rayman game with much of the soundtrack from the PlayStation version. It was released for Apple iOS on the App Store on February 18th 2016 and for Android on Google Play on March 17th 2016. Unlike earlier ports of the PC version, such as the Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DSi versions, this one doesn't leave out any content. The Breakout minigame is present, as well as the short animations shown after each boss-fight. Due to the touch screen oriented nature of mobile devices, the game uses virtual buttons and a virtual analog stick. While the iOS version has support for physical gamepads, the Android version currently lacks this feature even though it's advertised in the store description. As of November 24th, 2016, the app is free with ads. The ads can be disabled through an in-app purchase, though this is done automatically if the player bought the game prior to it becoming free.

Differences from other versions

While this is the most complete port of the PC version, it does have some issues present. Repeating sound effects, such as Rayman charging his fist, the helicopter and plums moving in water, stop repeating after a few seconds. This is the first version of the original Rayman game to include achievements, not including the Anti Dark-Matters from the DSi version, through Gamecenter and Google Play Games. Some are however glitched and therefor impossible to obtain. Some can still be obtained if replaying the game and redoing what is required for the achievement. Other issues involve incorrect music playing during the Magician's bonus stages, no music playing during the encounter against Mr Dark in Mr Dark's Dare and the characters Rayman meet, such as Joe and Tarayzan, not speaking like in the PC version. There's also a huge glitch with the Breakout minigame making it near impossible to beat. Whenever the ball is lost, the player can't move Rayman. This means that if Rayman is positioned under an obstacle, launching the ball will make it bounce back right down.
