The game is divided in five leagues (beginner, advanced, expert, extreme and bonus).
The first four have each three racing tracks and three arenas that increase in difficulty.
The racing mode is split in four different race types: Training: for exploration and practice of the racecourse and setting personal records; Race: up to four different characters race each other over several rounds with the first one crossing the finish line winning; Popolopoï: one must reach the finish line before time runs out.
Time can be replenished by shooting some kind of butterflies called Popolopoï and no opponents are to be beaten; Lums: over three laps, a certain amount of Lums have to be collected and one must beat the other opponents to the finish line.
The arena battle mode is split in three different battle types: Lum Spring: the first to collect five Lums/crystals or the one with the most Lums when time runs out wins.
Ice bullets can be fired at an opponent to temporarily freeze them and beat them to the Lum; Lum Fight: all players start with five hit points each that need to be shot off with weapons found around the arena.
A point is scored if a player shoots off the last hit point of another player.
The first to reach a certain amount of points or the one with the most points when time runs out wins.
When killed through one’s own actions, a negative point is scored; Capture the Fly: the goal is to find and capture a Light-Fly.
The fly follows you around and gives you a point when a certain amount of time has passed.
One loses control of the fly when hit by an opponent's bullet.
The first to reach a certain amount of points or the one with the most points when time runs out wins.
Playable characters include: Rayman: the series main protagonist.

About Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo's GameCube (2001) used a compact optical disc format and was the company's first console with online capability, though it never matched the PS2's commercial success. GameCube discs are comparatively durable, making complete-in-box collecting approachable, while a handful of Japan-only and limited-release titles (some tied to promotions) are the platform's genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Rayman Arena for Nintendo GameCube with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Rayman Arena to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GCN release dates back to 2001.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
