Rayman Arena puts you in a competitive crash course. As any member of the cast of Rayman 2, you must smoke the competition on challenging race courses or incite a firefight in the battle arena. Take risks, use tricks, and trip up opponents as you sprint, slide, climb, and helicopter through 12 courses in an all-out rush for the checkered flag. Each of the gladiator-style arenas features its own set of power-ups, traps, and special ammo. You can also compete with up to four players in multiplayer action.

Problems

Rise & Shrine Hang

At the opening cutscene for the level "Rise & Shrine" in the battle mode, the game will freeze. See issue 9680. To fix this problem, enable "Disable Culling to Fix Rise and Shrine Hang" in the Patches tab of the game properties; this hack was added in 5.0-16160, but a typo in the gameini filename meant it didn't show up until 5.0-16164.
