A port of Rayman
The Game Boy Color version of Rayman remains true to the spirit of the original game, but makes some notable changes, particularly when compared to the original's bright, vibrant graphics. Some levels have also been modified or simplified from the original release.

Rayman's debut on the Game Boy Color is a vibrant and surprisingly faithful adaptation for the handheld. It retains the charming visuals and platforming challenges of the original, although it does sacrifice some level content and features. Still, the responsive controls and colorful world of Rayman provide an enjoyable, albeit slightly scaled-back, experience for fans of the limbless hero.
It's still got plenty of solid 2D platforming that early Rayman games did well, but with a little side of jank. Control can feel a little sluggish in spots, the OST & sound effects have a hard time balancing with one another & overall just doesn't play quite as well as others in the series. Still have some nostalgia for it though. Learned a couple speedrun tricks for it too. A decent platformer to blast through in a quick session.
