==General Information==
{{Quote|text=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.|sign=Character designer Stéphane Zinetti|source=[[RaymanZone]] interview}}


The '''Slapdash''' is not only the weakest member of the Hoodlum army, but also the least intelligent.  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 and boxing gloves.  These Hoodlums are not the most visually striking in sight.
'''Slapdashes''' are [[Hoodlum]]s armed with a boxing glove on a wooden stick that appear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''.


This Hoodlum is primarily seen raiding [[The Fairy Council]] with two [[Hoodblasters]], outside the council in part 2. Later in the game these enemies often appear in small formed groups, usually at camps with other types of [[Hoodlum]].
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. 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.


==Attack==
[[File:Slapdash RHR.png|frame|left|class=sprite|A Slapdash in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''.]]
The only real form of attack the Slapdash has is its weapon (being a boxing glove attached to the end of a stick, as previously stated).  This is used both to crudely swipe the victim if he comes too close, or to fire boxing gloves from longer distances.  Its functioning, therefore, is more complex than it may seem at first.


As aforementioned, the Slapdash is the least intelligent Hoodlum and has no premeditated form of defence, aside a crude swipe of its stick.  It can therefore be defeated with one single shot (naturally without requirement of influence from the superpowers).
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.


==Appearance in game==
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.


The Slapdash makes appearance in the following worlds:
In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Slapdashes can move and only attack [[Rayman]] by swiping their weapon when he is close enough.


* [[The Fairy Council]]

* [[Clearleaf Forest]]
* [[The Bog of Murk]]

{{Main|Armoured Slapdash}}
 
An enemy with a [[Grim Keeper]]'s body and a Slapdash's boxing glove appears in [[Hoodlum Hideout]] in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. 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 [[Telescopic fist|punch]] it. [[Telescopic fist|Punching]] it twice causes the [[Hoodlum]] to be defeated.

==Trivia==
[[File:Slapdash22.png|frame|left|An abandoned design for the Slapdash.]]
* The Slapdash's glove weapon went through some [[Rayman 3 (early production)|changes during development]]. An early version can be found in the firing range in [[Hoodlum Headquarters]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.
* An early piece of artwork shows a Slapdash holding an axe. This may have been its original weapon.
