Revision as of 21:17, 19 January 2020
- This article is about the early production of the 3D build of the game. For the original 2D prototype, see Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype).
Rayman 2 underwent a bunch of changes during its development, most which have been found through hacking and from old trailers.
Cut levels
Judging by the content of the PC version, the cutscene in the Prison Ship where Rayman frees the prisoners, which first appeared in the Dreamcast version, was originally meant to appear in the PC and Nintendo 64 versions.
In 2018 it was discovered that the PlayStation version contains a reference to a level by the name the Walk of Bravery, which was meant to appear between the Echoing Caves and the Precipice.
The PC version also has leftovers from several unused levels, being the following:
- Learn_20
- Whale_20
- Astro_20
- Wipe_10
- morbide_tst
There was also originally meant to be a connection between the Fairy Glade and the Echoing Caves in the Hall of Doors [1].
Early names
Below is a list of all of the currently known early names for levels, locations and characters.
- The Technical Check-up - originally the Emission Control station
- Polokus - originally Polochus
- The Marshes of Awakening - originally the Marshes of the Awakening and the Marshlands of Awakening
- The Fairy Glade - originally the Fairy's Glade (the early name is used in Rayman Revolution)

Miscellaneous
The cheat code "GETELIX" is mentioned along with the other known cheat codes in the PC version, but it appears to be unused. It was most likely meant to give the player the Elixir of Life before entering the Cave of Bad Dreams.
Unused textures
Many textures which were later used in the PlayStation version can also be found in the files for the PC version suggestion they were originally meant to be included there as well. These include the textures for Antitoons and the stone with Ly's face. Textures from the Dreamcast version were found as well, such as the textures for Eig. Some leftovers, such as controller icons, where found from the Nintendo 64 version.

Demo
There were two different demos made for Rayman 2, both of them including two parts from the Fairy Glade.
Although the demos are very similar and include the same levels, there are some minor differences.
Differences from Rayman 2
- Rayman falls into the level after the Robo-Pirate animation in the first demo, instead of afterwards like in the final version.
- The total amount of cages show 0 in the first demo, instead of 7 like in the final version. Cages can however still be broken and will result in it showing 1/0 etc.
- The heads-up display can't by triggered to show by pressing "J".
- The transparency doesn't work on all textures.
- Rayman starts with the upgraded fist from the Canopy.
- The Hall of Doors uses the French name "Mapmonde".
