Along with Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies returning as playable characters, players can now control new female character Barbara and her sisters, once they are rescued from certain stages. Collecting Teensies unlocks new worlds, which can be played in any order once they are available. Lums can be collected by touching them, defeating enemies, or freeing captured Teensies. The game carries on the style of gameplay from Rayman Origins in which up to four players (depending on the format) simultaneously make their way through various levels.
The game also offers daily and weekly challenge stages, in which players can compete with other players via leaderboards in challenges such as collecting a certain number of Lums in a short time, or surviving the longest on a stage Gameplay
Some levels feature remixed ‘Invaded’ versions, which must be completed as quickly as possible. The game features over one hundred twenty levels, including forty remastered levels from the original Rayman Origins, which are unlocked by obtaining Lucky Tickets, which can also win additional Lums and Teensies.
