Overview
A port of the original Rayman was being developed for Sega's 32X add-on for the Sega Genesis before quietly being shelved. It was mentioned in magazines in the first half of 1995, as well as in promotional material for the original Rayman touting it as one of five ports Ubisoft had planned for the at-the-time next generation of gaming consoles. The port and the Atari Jaguar version would be slated for release of June 1995. However, the port would end up getting cancelled.
Although it is unknown how far along the 32X port got before its ultimate cancellation, it did get far enough that it was given its own booth at E3 1995. This is the only confirmed gameplay of the 32X build that has been found.
The most noticeable feature in this port is that the background has two unique layers of artwork with parallax scrolling that are not seen in any other versions of the game.
The 32X port was mentioned in several previews, mostly in French gaming magazine publications. However, the game has shown to be in very early stages, not having a finished background present in the only screenshot. A small preview mentioning the port was published in the "Next Wave" section of Electronic Monthly Gaming issue 69.
