''‘For Slapdash, we wanted to create a fat moron. So we made him a nice bright strawberry colour and gave him a vacant look and a fairly oafish physique.’'' —Stéphane Zinetti, ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' character designer

'''Slapdashes''' are [[Hoodlum]]s armed with a boxing glove on a wooden stick that appear in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''.

The Slapdash is not only the weakest member of the [[Hoodlum]] army, as it can be defeated with one single shot, it is also the least intelligent, taking the phrase 'to give the upper hand' literally. These Hoodlums are traditionally branded the lowest form of Hoodlum soldier and are thus only given a stick with a boxing glove as an attacking weapon. In appearance, the Slapdash wears a bright red gown.

Two of these Hoodlums are primarily seen raiding [[the Fairy Council]] with a [[Hoodmonger]] in the second part of the level. Later in the game these enemies often appear in small formed groups, usually at camps with other types of [[Hoodlum]]s.

They also have the unique ability to spring out of nowhere when [[Rayman]] approaches them, taking him by surprise. Despite being seen moving in one of [[the Fairy Council]]'s cutscenes, they always remain static in-game. Their only weapon is a boxing glove attached to the end of a stick, which is used both to crudely swipe the victim if they come too close, or to fire boxing gloves from longer distances. Its functioning, therefore, is more complex than it may seem at first.
 
In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Slapdashes can move and only attack [[Rayman]] by swiping their weapon when he is close enough.

{{Main|Armoured Slapdash}}


An enemy with a [[Grim Keeper]]'s body and a Slapdash's boxing glove appears in [[Hoodlum Hideout]]. It wanders around on its platform until it sees [[Rayman]] and attacks. Its attack consists of charging into [[Rayman]] like [[Bégoniax]], which he must jump over in the same fashion. When the [[Hoodlum]]'s back is turned to [[Rayman]], he must punch it. Punching it twice causes the [[Hoodlum]] to be defeated.
