GameSpot gave the MS-DOS version a 7.4, complaining of several issues such as the infrequent save points, but summarizing, "Take any good scroller like Donkey Kong or Pitfall, add scintillating colors, wonderfully clever gaming elements, engaging and humorous characters, terrific music, and heaps of whimsy and you have Rayman." They did, however, criticize the fact that one had to install a "ridiculous" 50 MB of data on their drive just to see the introductory animation, with the whole installation being a "sublime" 94 MB.

Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is a 3D platformer played from the third-person perspective. Rayman, the game’s primary protagonist, uses his jumping and punching abilities to make his way through various brightly colored stages. Globox and Andre, both contained within Globox, accompany Rayman and provide periodic commentary on the events that are taking place. Rayman’s primary weapon is his fist, which he can fire projectiles at enemies such as Hoodlums and other adversaries. These bullets are more lethal when Rayman charges his fist by holding the “shoot” button for an extended period.Polokus, also known as the " Bubble Dreamer" in Rayman Origins and Legends, is a divine being and, according to Rayman 2, is the creator of Rayman's world. During the plot of Rayman 2, Polokus is sleeping and can only be awoken with four masks that Rayman is tasked with collecting. He later got redesigned in Rayman Origins, where he appears larger, a little more amphibious and elderly while blowing bubbles with a hookah or pipe. This port was later released on the PlayStation Network on 18 December 2008 in North America and on 28 July 2010 in Europe.

Later in the game, Rayman is given some items to help him, such as the Rain Mask, which allows him to perform a Rain Dance like Globox's and helps plants to grow, and the Lums Radar, which is a magnet that can help him find any Yellow Lums that he may have missed. Recalling the original Rayman game, Rayman can at one point be shrunk to help him squeeze through a small hole by eating a yellow mushroom that he needs to water with the Rain Dance.
