- The Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Hebrew, Hungarian, and Polish languages are only included in the retail versions of Rayman M which were released in their own respective regions.
Issues unresolved
Menu music randomly plays incorrectly after transitioning from title screen
- This occurs if you press start on the title screen at a certain time when the title screen music plays, which makes the game load the menu track, but transitions incorrectly thus corrupting the playback. There is currently no known explanation as to why this occurs. The only workaround is to wait around 2 seconds before pressing start or to quickly cycle through or reload the menu.
Issues fixed
Install the game on modern operating systems (Retail)
- The retail game cannot be installed on 64-bit computers because the DRM in the installation disc is 16-bit.
