This is also needed later on in the game, as the amount of Lums the player collected will be transferred into the amount of time the player gets to finish that particular race in On and On, a bonus race level.
Lums: In this mode, the player has to complete three laps while collecting the maximum number of Yellow Lums required in order to legally win, and must come in first place as well. Although the time starts at 20 seconds, the time can be increased by shooting butterflies named Popolopoïs, which come in different colours that represent how much time is given.
Popolopoï: This mode uses a time limit in which a character must complete three laps in. In single player mode, the other players are computer controlled and there are three laps to run, while in multi-player mode the players can set how many laps to run before winning. Race: This mode involves up to four characters to race each other, the first one to the finish line wins. Training: This mode allows the player to explore the course and practice before playing in the other modes, as well as setting their own personal records. Obstacles include boxes that the player has to shoot up to eight times in order to pass, bear traps and electric bars. This mode has four different types of racing game. There are no power-ups in this mode, although throughout each course there are Purple Lums, speed ramps and small trampolines that are useful. In this mode, the players take part in a foot race and face a number of obstacles depending on which environment they are playing in. The gameplay in Rayman M is split into two main modes, racing and battle.
Unlike the other Rayman games, this game does not have a notable plot, other than that the characters are in a sporting competition. It is a 3D game which combines racing, battling, and a few traditional platform elements. In Europe, it was released only on the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows on the 30th November 2001, while in North America it was released on the Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube in addition to the PlayStation 2 and Windows.
