The recent release of Rayman 30th Anniversary contains a prototype of the very first game include, as far as I know it is identical to the one leaked back in 2017.https://youtu.be/aaHWZZwXJW4?si=e0OnaIeyYkRpJvCQ

I wish they would release the version that was shown in magazines (like the cooperative mode and the other levels) but at least we appreciate having this prototype.
 
The level Itself Is just gorgeous, but I remember hearing It a diffirent setting too back then, Rayman was created to battle a computer virus and It was also going to have co-op gameplay.
 
Cool, I had heard something about this, but never actually tried it. Oddly, the area design reminds me of the organic caves from the cancelled R4 and the GBA version of RRR, instead of something from R1.
 
Never knew about this. Thanks for bringing it. Rayman could indeed have been a SNES game given its looks.
 
You can now play this officially! with the 30th Anniversary collection! It's a shame the later builds really do seem lost forever, though.
 
Interesting. Reminds me of watching the kick-starter live stream for Shantae 1/2 genie hero. Wayforward mentioned that Shantae was originally meant to be a SNES game. That's where the blue clothes color swap came from, as she originally wore a blue outfit instead of her red one. I wonder if we'll ever see that original prototype of that game.
