The beautiful graphics hide just how hard some of the platforming can get.
They really don't.
I side with Elliott, I mean, you can take up to FIVE whole hits in this game.
Not to mention the generous amount of checkpoints.
AND the GBA version gives you an even more generous SIX HP LIMIT!!!
@Fleur 10 life points? Woah. That's a lot of hp.
The Jaguar soundtrack makes me feel like I just drank a bottle of cough syrup
Is that a bad thing?
@@camulodunon yes it is because nobody would need or want to drink an entire (whole) bottle of cough syrup
@@pixelplayer140 I agree. I only like the better versions. Regarding the DSi and GBA versions.
@@pixelplayer140regardless of the Atari Jaguar games being on cartridge i or part of me expected Atari Jaguar could deliver CD quality audio did you forget Atari Jaguar also had a CD-add on? the CD games could hold as much as 790 MB of data
The Jaguar Sounds Like An Java Game (Mobile Game)
I had the GBC version as a kid, it holds a special place in my heart. Interesting how it's basically a remake of the original game with totally different levels, and character designs and music from Rayman 2.
Totally agree with you. Took me more than a two months to realize that there was a Fifth level lol I was 7 and finally beat the game when I was 10
Something about the new levels and actually fighting Mr Dark at the end really gave it a unique charm that made it well worth playing.
I have the same thing, that why I always say you need to play both versions. Like the xbox version of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Double agent. Its a whole different game (same story but different levels) compared to the xbox 360 version. Same thing for the Nintendo DS version of Call of Duty. Just get console/PC version and Nintendo DS
Watching this gave me a new appreciation for owning the PS1 version. Some of the other versions have weird music.
I only played the GBA version so whenever I see the game even in different ports I will always remember the sound of gba version.
Me too.
s a m e
I had the GBA version for a long time but I remember playing the game once on PS1
Just go to Retrogames.cc and play the game on there it works for me also for phone
Yeah me too. I have the 4th anniversary edition or something
Jaguar, PS1, Saturn and PC are very similar, a degree of similarity that would have been unthinkable before. An early example of consistent multiplatform development. I played the PC version first at the time and if you remember earlier DOS platforms (e.g.: Commander Keen) the jump in quality was dramatic!
same here, played the dos version and it was my favourite platform of the time
That is what brunt horsepower can do. The only real hardware acceleration available on the PC was a blitter.
@@wishusknight3009 when did a pc get a blitter?
Everything on Pc is software as I recall.
@@leighbyford635 Many later ISA and most all VLB and PCI cards had Bit block transfers in hardware. aka BitBLT. Windows primarily took advantage of this from about mid/late windows 3.1 era and onward but I am unsure how many dos games did early on. most windows games in the 95 era did as it was part of direct draw.
@@wishusknight3009 I didn't know that. Thanks for teaching me.
It would be awesome to have a multiplayer Rayman on SNES back in the day. Anyways, Rayman is a work of art.
I always thought the SNES prototype was from late in the 16 bit consoles era (somewhere around 94 or 95) not 92 like when the SNES was released in Europe.
Shows how fast everything was moving then. I had he year 1992 floating around in my head before but logic would have told me that it was probably 93 or 94.
I keep wondering why did they only released this for DSi. There should have been one for DS since they put Rayman 2 in there.
Yeah odd.
Cause that version sucks lol
@@jackmoon824 A version that doesn't exist? Lol what?
Maybe it sucked so much that it stopped existing.
@@bangerbangerbro there exist a ds version but its sucks its playable in dsiware
That Atari Jaguar intro got some 4th wall breaks 😂
Great pixel graphics! Brilliant game.
Pixel?
Sprites
Doesn't seem fitting to apply retroactive terms to styles of the time.
@@ainsbass what
Gamer: Rayman,que te ocurrio??antes molabas...
Rayman: LOS PUTOS RABBITS TIENEN LA CULPA¡¡
La verdad las cosas como son
THANKS! Good comparison!
i grew up playing the GBA version and had no issues with it as a kid, but then i got older and saw how mindblowing the PS1 version was and felt like i got screwed over. what an abysmal port sound-wise and visual-wise. the sega saturn version is also neat in its own way, and i like it about as equally as the PS1 version. even the original jaguar version has its own charm :) just an overall incredible game. i wonder how the FULL super nintendo and sega 32X versions could've been...
and 3DO version
Seems like Saturn had better audio over the PS1 and perhaps more lush colors. Beautiful looking game and nice to see something that shows off the Jags potential. Saturn also has the best parallax in the first level, however PC has the best over all sound, more ambiance and clarity. That SNES port though, would love to see more of that, this looks incredible!
The Saturn indeed had better audio than what's shown here. Graphical and Sound glitches are caused from emulation :/
@@dffagundo on the saturn You jump on l1... Wtf
PC version messed up the music though, it's all shuffled up and a lot of them are just one long audio file that has multiple tracks on it resulting in some of those tracks never being heard if you don't spend way longer than is intended on levels
Actually the Ps1 version is by far the best version of all.. the Saturn one is missing graphical effects in levels,such as fog in the Dream Forest and snow in Blue Mountains, and even the soundtrack is incomplete, the midi parts are missing in Saturn..the added effects in Mr Dark's Dare and the transitions after each level aren't enough to compensate all the missing things of the Saturn port..and the Pc one has missing things too,so the Ps1 wins,also the audio quality is not different,is the same
Atari Jaguar (1994) My FAV Version.
Same
some of the audio, music, sound samples are awful, dreadful, horrible, terrible quality
the intro also isn't even animated. which just further proves how low the capacity of the Atari jaguar is when compared to the other versions
@@unfunnyguy1530 I do find the voice acting in the animated intro to be a bit cringy ngl, but without that, the animated one is better.
@Energytainmentwithout good audio, music, sound a video game isn’t worth playing
Jaguar, Saturn, GBA, and DS versions are my favorites. Really nice to know the SNES had prototype of this before it got cancelled.
Sad when games get cancelled but at least sometimes what was made might eventually surface (that Cooly skunk SNES game that as found on a Satella-view cartridge, saved by the community and dumped online). The game is more primitive then the PS1 version but interesting to see what the devs did with more time and morepowerful hardware.
Imagine what they could've done with the Super FX2 chip and a 16MB cartridge
@@Rokabur The Super Famicom version is basically just a proof of concept, development jumped over to the Jaguar early on.
There was also a version for the 32X being developed.
Yeah, not many people know that the Atari Jaguar was the original system the game was intended for, not the PS1. The Jaguar version was the original version of the game while the PS1 version was a port of it.
Although the PS1 port did release a week before the Jaguar release, so most people tend to assume it’s the other way around.
TIL that developers actually intended games for the Jaguar and didn't just remember it existed and port their games to it, I guess
Technically the SNES CD was the original destination for the game, but since that was pulled, it switched development to Jaguar and became multiplatform once Sony and Sega wanted it on their systems
This is not true, the PS1 version was actually released very shortly before the Jaguar version, not to mention that the slippery mechanics that were the main mechanic of all the levels in Band Land didn't work in the Jaguar version. If the Jaguar version really was the version that the game was designed for, they wouldn't have even put a mechanic in the game that the Jaguar version couldn't even handle yet the PS1 version could.
@@tessaPMpro What a narrow minded opinion over here. If you simply looked up when the two versions got released, we wouldn't have this convo. About the slippery slide thing, it's not about the Jag not being able to handle anything, it's because by the time the PsX came out they had to partially stop working on the original Jaguar version. Some elements are missing along with cut content, which is why it isn't a port nor remake.
@CLIFFREIGN and if you followed your own advice and looked this up, you would find out that I'm right in the sense that the Jag version didn't have slippery physics because of hardware limitations, the Jag couldn't incorporate slippery physics into video games. I will admit that I was wrong about the PS1 version being released first after double-checking the release dates of both versions so I will concede on that point. It still doesn't change the fact that the levels with slippery physics were intended to have the slippery physics but since the Jag couldn't handle it, they had to make some changes to the levels that had them, meaning that those levels in the PS1 and Saturn versions were how the levels were originally designed.
i really wished they kept the 2d style for the sequel. also the gbc version is way too cute and the snes version with that weird chubby rayman
The snes was a beta are u dumb it said it
Yeah i wished the same for the sequel...
Big Rayman

Rayman is the best game of playstation I think,but that nostalgia......awesome video and game!!!!
Nice pfp
Somebody's got a bounty on the two of youse
Ohh how I miss updates on this channel.
Very consistent across the board, but I played the DOS version the most so it's my favourite
This was one of the very first games I got on the PlayStation along with Tekken and Wipeout. Beautiful but brutal. In a word : French :)
Could you do one for Zoop?
Also, the animations in the GBA version are so smooth.
They all are.
Jaguar version is always going to be my favorite. While eclipsed (slightly) by the PSX and Sega Saturn on up versions, there's just something about playing a game this awesome on a system with such a limited selection when you're 12 and don't have access to a PSX or Sega Saturn that playing a technically superior version on a system that has lots and lots of games on it doesn't have. Considering how expensive the Jaguar version got, I'm lucky I got it when I could.
hi folks, you want to know whats going on? let me tell you the story of rayman.
I personally like the sega Saturn and Playstation versions, they're by far, the best versions ever. The Atari jaguar, game boy color and SNES versions are good (even if the SNES was never completed). The pc, dsi and android/iOS versions are "meh", and the gba port is the worst version of all since its graphics and music are almost ruined completely, but hey, that doesn't means it's a bad port though, honestly it was the first version i played and well, if it weren't by the ruined music and graphics, it would be in the same place as the dsi, pc and android/iOS ports.
Wow, I didn't know there was a version for the Nintendo DS.
Do have the same levels as the Jaguar, Saturn, PS1 and GBA versions?
The levels are the same as the MS DOS version and some of the electoon cages are in different places.
The sound on the DSi version oh my god
I owned the PS1 and GBA versions, I loved them both
Same!
It's crazy how much the quality of the music/sound can effect your perception of it. The graphics of the Atari version are as good as the Playstation and Saturn but the sound is just so much better on the other systems so it comes across better...
I don't know why, but I actually want to make a Rayman SNES creepypasta.
You have NO idea how ironic that sounds coming from you.
Hold up, I didn’t know you had a yt account. Then again, sonic has hundreds
can i be in it
To be fair the original plot has very creepypasta like elements
The original story was about a boy creating a video game world that got infected with a virus and got sucked in it to save the world
It has everything you need for a creepypasta
A virus infection in a video game
The main character gets sucked into the game ?
Prefect creepypasta material if you ask me
I will always find the Jaguar original to be the best version. Sure it may not have the best music, but controls were more on point there.
Also, some of the unique music tracks are top tier. Candy Chateau, looking at you.
It doesn't even have the slippery mechanics in the Band Land levels though which completely ruins all of those levels since that mechanic was such a major part of them, it's one of the worst versions.
@@tessaPMpro that’s 100% true. I still own and play my Jaguar version but I also played a lot of the PS1 version. And the band slide mechanics and superior music/SFX make the PS1 superior. But I love them both.
@@tessaPMpro It didnt removed anything if its the OG version.
Also, the OG was very unfair. Less mechanics in an unfair game means better game for me.
The start of the music in the Atari Jaguar version sounds like a funeral 😂
Well in the third level
PS1 and PC are the best looking and also having the best sound but they are also the hardest versions of the game. GBA is by far the most fair, as Rayman doesnt suffer from knockback, there is added platforms in some of the levels, Rayman resist a bit more and lifes are a bit more easier to get.
The screen-crunch on the GBA version.
Rayman's just a child here! So adorable!
I still have the pirated copy of ps1 my aunt gave me with a modded PsOne so seeing all these other versions is refreshing. I didn’t know any better when I was 4, otherwise I would’ve had the pretty box art
35:47 Ese "Yeah!" sonó muy metalero
Rayman 1 on PS1 took me an entire school year to finish it
Great! There's an SNES prototype? It has no sound. PS1 is probably the best.
Nah, Sega Saturn ruled over the PS1 in 2D games, excep´t for Castlevania, cus' Konami did a extremely lazy job on that one.
The Saturn version has a reputation of being faster, smoother and more responsive than Jag and PS1, if ever so slightly . Never played the Saturn version, I don't know if it's true, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
yes. the snes was the led platform early in development.
@@amerigocosta7452 But as always in Saturn vs PSX VS, PSX has better FMV and higher quality SFX.
@@mrnuage no doubt
i was fortunate enough to have owned the PS1 version first, i now own the PS1, GBA, and DSi ware versions of the game
YEAH! - Rayman
Very impressive they could do this for the gba. It shows it'd be possible to have a snes version
What is so impressive. I mean it’s a dual layer scoller with just sprites. Only thing that differs is a bit more color restriction (which is visible) otherwise GBA have more than enough juice to pull it off
I’m genuinely surprised how good this game looks on GBC.
The sounds are pitched up and down weirdly in versions other than the PS1... It's so strange to hear!
If we include fan projects, Rayman Redemption is the best.
If not, the Playstation and Saturn version are the best, even if they are brutal at times in difficulty.
38:57
Rayman actually said YEAH
Did they made a new track for magician challenges in the DSi version?
@Veget4 Evolve Haz Un Video De Las Diferencias Entre Versiones De Este Juego
Man, with the soundtrack it gives me the feeling that Atari Jaguar's Rayman would run on a 32x mega drive or in another video game
it might’ve been possible to release Rayman SNES with the Super FX enhancement chip
They were originally gonna make the game for the SNES CD Addon but once it got cancelled they moved to other consoles.
did they look into a Mega CD or TurboGrafx CD version?
I wonder why the Game Boy Advance version uses the Candy Chateau theme for the intro.
✨YEAH!!✨
the jaguar's music makes me feel like a drunk uncle trying to go down 3 flights of stairs while the gba's music makes me feel like someone just shoved q-tips into my ears farther than the recommended amount
(this comment is a joke btw i dont think they're actually that bad)
Lol 😂
This sure is something.
When i didnt know about emulation i searched this game online and found it but i just realized i played the prototype snes
I like the PlayStation version of this game, I one time had a friend that played this game on his PlayStation 2.
48:06 Travel Tube from Meet the Robinsons!?
Cool
My fav is pc dos Saturn Atari playstation and prototype
Okay, so the GBC version was modeled after Rayman 2, interesting 😮
36:12 for "ten tings please"
Is weird that the android version can now only be accessed through a link
For me the GBC takes the cake. There's something amazing of once having to require a full console to experience a game like Rayman to the future where a developer is dedicated enough to somehow bring that experience to a small handheld like the GBC. All the elements are basically there, besides the obvious need to downgrade the graphics. A fine game indeed
To my surprise, it's really good. I'm astounded that this CD game is ported to an 8-bit handheld.
@@antoniojoserunez4165 Yea it kinda makes me wonder if enough effort is put into it someone could make a NES port lol.
@@WarpedBlinds Some Chinese company or guy is probably making an NES demake.
@@antoniojoserunez4165 Man I wish I knew how to program a game lol that would be so cool to see
@@WarpedBlinds Oh me either.
Why does the GBC version have to use COMIC SANS?!
Yes!!
Lo jugué en Ps1, NDS, GBA y GBC
My fav is jaguar
Bc hear that picture sound. No 3d console in the 90s dose that perfect
I know. FM rules! Jag version has my favourite sound too oddly and the only version I have is the PS1.
The Super Nintendo looks interesting, I wish there it was made for that console
But anyways my actual favorite is the Sega saturn
SNES Super Nintendo version looks like it struggled it might’ve been better suited for the 32X or Mega/Sega CD
How can i download this game? Where can i download it? Is this availbalbe to android phone?
Comparison Video Of Tom And Jerry Game Please, Thank.
Jag version was my favorite. Played for many hours
is Rayman on the Atari Jaguar your favourite???
Based on how or the way it looks, plays, sounds?
@@jasonlee7816 That's a good question actually. I suppose it's what i had as a kid. So nostalgia more than anything.
@Energytainment I agree with you. Jaguar best
When I went to play the game on App Store I went to go re download, but when I searched up rayman, I didn’t get rayman classic
a lot of games have been released for iOS/android, but have been delisted after years go by.
@@donovanstringer7411 its a horrible fate we have to deal with.
omg look at the health on ds version lol :D
btw only ds version have like map on the second screen
While this was an insanely beautiful game at the time, it was childs play for something like the Saturn to handle.
It seems that the PS1 version was used as the base for manny of the ports that came after it with oddly enough Rayman Advance being the base for the DS and Mobile ports
I'm kinda bothered by the fact that in the MS-DOS version a level's music takes a few seconds to load. It's much faster in the PS1 and Saturn versions
It doesn't load it's just seek time which should be non existent in an emulator.
Nah the issue with the DOS version is that it plays the same track for each level of each world. In emulation it is a little bit different. I have the DOS version and it seems to load in one sec
@Jigglypoo I bought a copy from eBay...
My favourite version is Rayman Redemption!
That's Is An Unofficial Game Made By A Fan
@@enmanuelgaitangrandtheftau9767 Still the best game
10 HP on the DSi version xD
I always thought it debuted on the ps1
One of the few times the ps1 actually trumps the saturn on 2d games? Say it ain't so!
SotN still better on PS1.
I mean, the PS1 and Saturn version are pretty much equal, since they have equal advantages and disadvantages, so to me it's a tie. For example, I think the Saturn has some animations that aren't in other versions, but the PS1 has transparencies, since the Saturn couldn't really pull that off without attempting to run at 720 miles into a brick wall and getting a concussion (seriously why can't the Saturn handle transparencies).
@@dezwashere8706 Transparencies were done with the Saturn’s second cpu, which many devs ignored using and opted to use dithering instead. It was just easier to work with one cpu. Some games on the Saturn do actually take advantage of the second cpu transparency effect, though.
I really liked the mobile and gba vers. Cuz im a guy on the go
13:28 why is the sega saturn is a different music?
My favorite version is ps1
Its so cool
I grew up with PlayStation and loved it.
i had the gameboy micro version!

It all started with the Jaguar.
la de snes fue rara, pero de ahi todas me gustaron sin excepcion. :)

are my favorite versions 👍🏻
I played the DOS version a tiny bit with a friend but I had the PS1 version... I always thought that the PS1 had fewer levels, but to this day I'm actually not sure if that is true.
I thought this comparison would show all differences per version, not just the beginning of the game.
Anyone know the differences between PS1 vs DOS vs Gold/PC?
Rayman for PS1 had levels with their own music tracks, where the DOS version continued playing the tracks for the whole theme one after another.
The PS1 version had a saxophone solo playing at the "yeah" at the end of the level. The DOS version did not. The Saturn version did too, and played it at a higher quality than the PS1.
The PS1 included some extra graphical effects such as fog in Pink Plant Woods.
Rayman for DOS has tweaked levels, compared to the PS1. It was made slightly easier, with some platforms one block longer for easier jumps. Still hard though.
Rayman for DOS also had more secrets. In Swamps of Forgetfulness part 3 for example, the level where you ride a bouncing plume down a spiky hill for half the level;
at the start you can climb a vine above the plume to collect some extra tings.
In the PS1 version, that's it. In the DOS version, you can make a far jump to the right, parkour over some falling flowers and swinging plumes, leading all to a cage not present in the PS1 version.
Because of these level additions, and the amount of cages must be the same, cages from PS1 locations are sometimes swapped with 1-UPs instead.
The first level of the PS1 version and the DOS version of Bongo Hills is completely different. The DOS version has unique assets that make it look like a transition between The Dream Forest and Band Land.
Rayman Redemption, a fanmade game for PC released a few years ago, combines these into one bigger level.
Rayman 2 for PS1 had fewer levels and parts of levels cut, compared to the other versions. You only needed to collect 800 yellow lums instead of 1000, in other versions.
Maybe this is where the confusion came in?
To save you some work, the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2. That one can be seen as the definitive one.
@@amyloriley wow thanks for this detailed overview!
A versão de Rayman do atari jaguar, Ps1 e sega saturn é bem bonito por sinal, já a versão do super Nintendo parecia bem promissor pena que isso não saiu do paper (alias esse sprites do rayman do snes é bem diferente do que conhecemos da versão do atari jaguar)
a pity (shame) Rayman wasn’t made
either the 32X or the Mega/Sega CD
That's because the Genesis/Mega Drive didn't have the color capabilities. The 32X had the color pallette but was still limited to Genesis/Mega Drives sound quality. The only way Rayman would of ran optimal on that platform was if it was ported for Sega 32X CD.
The 32X does have two PWM channels in addition to the Mega Drive's setup.
@@stephandolby The problem with it is that the sound is still controlled by the Genesis/Mega Drive's sound processor. The Sega CD had it's own sound processor and it's own stereo RCA output.
@@tskraj3190 also not a lot of people had both the 32x and the Sega CD. The 3DO probably wasn’t a good idea either because of the console’s low popularity. Though I guess UbiSoft trusted Atari with their Jaguar.
@@tskraj3190 the PWM channels in the 32x are literally a part of the SH-2's. WTF are you talking about.
Is the PS1 version the only one that has the transparent mist effect? Strange I had the Jag, PS1 and PC versions of this game back in the day and I never noticed that. Overall I think I liked the PS1 version the best. Never played it on the Saturn though.
All versions seems to have their own little differences: the Jag has more colour even if they are not easy to spot, the PC has a lot less colours but you hardly notice it, the PS1 has those trasparencies and the Saturn some exclusive animations (and a really badly compressed intro).
yes, no other console than PS1 and SNES had real transparencies.
The Playstation narrator voice is different. In my PS copy, he sounds like the PC DOS version recorded here.
Magician's voice!
Then you must have the PAL version of the game
Thanks, I was thinking the same thing!
I had the ps1 version, but the opening had the windows 95 audio
Woah
That is because your copy is a PAL version, the European/Australian versions had different voice acting for their English dubs.
