The new characters Dark Rayman and Dark Globox have been added.

New cutscenes were added in the single-player mode before each Cup, featuring Murfy as a reporter.

The intro movie in Rayman M has been replaced by a completely new one made specifically for these versions.

There are three new difficulty modes: Beginner, Pro and Master.

The single-player mode has been changed, as Leagues have been replaced by Cups.

The menus and HUD have been given a complete makeover.

The graphics have been altered, with overall better visual effects.

The NA-exclusive Nintendo GameCube and Xbox ports of Rayman Arena had major changes made to them, from graphical alterations to flat-out removing or adding in-game content.

The ability to shoot Ice Bullets to slow opponents down was added to the racing mode in Arena.

LAN play was completely absent in the Windows version of Rayman M, but was added into Arena.

The music was slightly altered in Arena.

Changes made to these versions will be covered in the Platform Differences section below.

In addition to the PS2 and Windows releases, North America got the game for Nintendo GameCube and Xbox, with both of these ports going completely unreleased in Europe.

The game was renamed to Rayman Arena in the North American release, likely due to fears that the original name, Rayman M, could be misconstrued as the ESRB's 'Mature 17+' rating in the region.

Press L2, Square, Circle at the character selection menu in the European version. Then you can select Music team as Music mode. Once a dot lights, hold X until another dot lights, then alternate until all dots light up. In race mode, pause and hold L1 + R1 and press Triangle.

Yahouuuu: Quit to menu and complete event.

Winiwiz: Quick movement (also automagic).

Aglagla: Switch to freeze shots in 2 player.

(Technically only L1 + R1 are necessary to hold while pressing Circle to get the dots to appear, but since you have to hold L2 and R2 as well to light them, you might as well hold them to begin with.) In race mode, pause and hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and press and hold, in order, Circle, Triangle, X, Square and wait for the 10 dots to turn yellow.
