rayman 2 called
It alright!
Honestly the story about the making of the game is more interesting than the game itself. Originally being made as a GBA version of Rayman 2, they instead shoehorned in some Rayman 3 stuff (like the bare minimum) so they could tie it into 3’s console release.
And since it plays more like Rayman 1, it DOES kinda feel like a melting pot of the first three Rayman games, which is interesting.
The story is an absolute mess. Like, Globox swallows a black Lum, that makes sense, but Razorbeard and the robo pirates are back?? What
But other than that? It’s a solid 2D platformer. Not always super interesting, but it works, looks alright, sounds alright, it’s fun enough! Gameplay mixes it up every now and then with minigames, kinda a standard GBA 2D platformer. But it does it well enough, and I always have a great time with my boy Rayman.

Rayman 3 on GBA is a little odd. It's a decent game nonetheless, but still odd. It seems to combine aspects of both Rayman 2 & 3 on console without realizing the full potential of either of them. Still plays solidly as a 2D platformer, though & has strong visuals & audio for a handheld game of its time period. I don't think I ever played it enough to finish it, but it was still alright for what it was.
