The designers were just lazy and didn't want to retexture him. Simple as that

That's completely un-lore-ish. Our duty is to create a canon reason for EVERYTHING
I'd say the Clark holes are bullet wounds.

'Unloreish' at it may be it's the only thing I can think of. The scar isn't really noticeable in the first part anyway, if you don't know about it. Nor is it meant to be noticed.

Reflux also has the Sceptre of the Leptys in his back before he puts it in his back. Use the picture-taking button to look behind him during the first stage of the final battle and you’ll see.

Wow. Old habits die hard - even if you weren't part of the R2 team.

Seriously? I need to see that. But, like I said before, it's probably not meant to be noticed.

That's one thing. It's really unlikely to be seen. However, the scar on Clark's back is certainly see-able before he's supposed to have it.

About Reflux's size: we don't see every single Knaaren in the tunnels ( looking at the amount of Knaaren present in the arena and bowing down in front of the statue of the Leptys ), so there might be Knaaren that are just as big as he is.

I've been also wondering about the Prison Ship level: everything on the beggining is burning, being destroyed... I wonder if it's Polokus' powers having effect, but this cannot be the answer since the Buccaneer is always flying, and Polokus is vulnerable in the air, aswell he only acted on the land. Maybe it's the storm of the sea location where the Crow's Nest battle happens with Rayman VS Grolgoth?

I think it's partly the storm, and partly the realisation of failure on the Pirates' part. Berlin was in a dire situation when the Allies finally got there; perhaps it's the same with Razorbeard's dictatorship (dictator... SHIP... geddit?

)
Also, maybe some of the slaves decided to wreak a bit of havoc before jumping through the Teensie portal back to earth.

Maybe it was a lightning bolt that hit on the Buccaneer and started to burn the surface.

Haha polokus is a fat ass

the first time I heard of him I was like 'whooo the spirit of the world, awesome! He'l probably be some ancient mystic all powerful being tha......' And then. He was just a fat guy wearing a hat. WTF ubi? I guess that's what's great about rayman though, it's weird and unpredictable :d

I think Polokus is a quite original character, who said that gods and spirits of the world must all be tall, with a "god voice", a "god physical", muscles and "looking normal"?

Polukus actually LOOKS like the planet he's representing; completely, utterly cracked-out.

On the thought of the prison ship, maybe Polokus did the obvious smart thing and dreamed up a ground to air missile?
Seriously, it always annoyed me that Polokus didn't do that.
Polokus, why didn't you help us defeat the hoodlums?
What a useless god.

The Hoodlums are Lums. Maybe they stifled his power.

But the situation on R3's level of danger in the world wasn't so serious as the R2's situation in a lot of aspects, among them the populational density of the Robo-Pirates on the world, the exploded Heart of the World and the enslaved people.

It's true. For the most part, Andre was just a bug of annoyingness in Globox's ample stomach.
Razorbeard, on the other hand, was commanding an entirely operational and fearsomely logical invasion of the planet. He'd already succeeded in destroying the Heart; Andre didn't even manage that.

If André had reached the Heart of the World, the result might have been much worse than the Robo-Pirate invasion.
On a mostly-unrelated note, would anyone like to speculate on what would happen if Razorbeard ate André?
