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). Some levels have minor changes made to them. In the PC version, the menu navigation has been slightly changed and the save system has been changed to avoid any save file corruption.

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. The only other major change difference lies in the addition of the LAN mode to the PC version. Most changes were for localization, such as changing any ‘Rayman M’ logos into ‘Rayman Arena’. The PlayStation 2 and PC versions of the game very closely mimic their overseas counterparts. The title was altered to avoid misconceptions about the game being related to the ESRB's ‘M for Mature’ rating. Rayman Arena is the American release of Rayman M, released in 2002 for the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. This article is about a modified version of a previously-released game.

The graphics detail are very well realized, it's a pity that the game just stick to these modes and have not any additional single player scenario. If you can play against friends, then, the fun is assured. The arena mode is the funniest as it involves 3 different challenges against other opponents. As usual, jump, fire and dodge the obstacles to beat your best time. In the first type you will have to run against the clock and make the best time in different scenarios. Basically there are 2 modes: race mode and arena mode. Probably the game does not make too much sense to be played solo against AI, as you will notice after a while it is just a death match style game. Here they took the opportunity to spin off a different 3D game just for multiplayer fun. The evolution of the game saw its developer to move from a 2D platform to a full 3D action game. Here it is a nice LAN party game featuring our platform hero Rayman! The game is a nice addition to the Rayman series, but it goes a little bit out of its original platform style.
