==Gameplay==
===PC, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and PS2===
The game is a 3D platformer, we pass levels. We start from the Forest of Darkness, through the Musical Desert, Ice Streak, Scorching Volcanoes, Cave of Scorps to the Dough Castle.During the expedition, we get the powers from Magician. The first in the beginning are spheres, the second flying, the third swimming, the fourth and final transformation into crutches.There is always a boss at the end of the world, what's interesting most of the worlds and bosses are parodies of Rayman 1. Mosquito Queen is natzde Bzzit / Mostkito.Bad Guitara is a guitar Mr. Sax a Mr. Scorps is Mr. Scorps.Darktons, on the other hand, is a combination of Darktoon and Mr. Darka from Rayman 1 and fight with him is very easy. And the game, well, it is a copy of Rayman 1, but at least we have some original worlds and a plot, almost original.
===PS1===
The gameplay is quite similar but does not get the magician's powers only through the relay and the worlds are different.

The game is the same as for Nintendo 64, but there is no MIDI and it was removed to my memu with the words "Press Start Button".
===PS1===
The PS1 version, as already mentioned, has a different plot, levels and gameplay. It should be noted that the port on PS1 was created by Ubisoft Italy and Ubisoft Shangahid.

The game contains many differences such as: Open world, additional worlds, new enemies and original enemies. They are also mini games for the transition of all worlds and bosses. The game also includes an alternative ending, if you do not defeat the boss in Dough Castle then you will have the choice whether to save your brother or go to the dark side of power. If we choose the first will continue to fight the boss and the end will be the same, but if we choose to the second we will be a helper of darktoons and a ruinous island.

==References to Rayman==
As the game was created by Michel Ancel, the game contained three references to Rayman:
*In the first land, the Magician appears, which is similar to that of Rayman 1, also in this land there is a sign that says: "It's Forest of Darkness, you mutton, not The Dream Forest."Which refers to the first land of Rayman.
*Bosses are a reference to those from Rayman 1, but changed and in 3D a Darktoons to Mr. Dark, except that it's Darktoon from R1.
*At the end of the game, the characters play Rayman 1.
The GBA version also has a reference:
*Maly, looks like Ly from Rayman 2 and has the same role.
