Rayman 2 was released on a wide variety of platforms, with several differences and name changes between the versions.

The Game Boy Advance version is notably different from the console versions, being that it is a 2D platformer developed using the same engine as the Game Boy Advance port of Rayman 3. This version includes characters from previous Rayman games that do not appear in the console versions.
