Mr Dark: Difference between revisions

Before fighting [[Rayman]], Mr Dark casts strange spells on him as he makes progress through [[Candy Château]], such as creating [[Bad Rayman]], reversing Rayman's movements, making him run uncontrollably and eventually stealing his [[telescopic fist]]. Following this, by the time Rayman reaches his hideout, he tries to destroy him by trapping him between deadly walls of fire and throws fire balls at him. When his situation seems desperate, a group of [[Electoon]]s rescue Rayman by giving him back his [[telescopic fist]]. The final battle then begins, in which Rayman must battle what appear to be hybrids of the previous five bosses, which have Mr Dark's face as their resistance icon. It is open to interpretation whether Mr Dark is fusing the previous bosses together, or if he is shapeshifting into hybrids of them.

The first hybrid, or transformation, is a mixture of [[Mr Stone]] and [[Mr Skops]]. His is comprised of Mr Stone's body, feet and right hand, together with Mr Skops' head and claw. His only attack consists of hurling his claw at Rayman, which he can jump over and punch him in the face. If Rayman attempts to punch him too early, the monster will block his face with his claw. It is possible, with a certain timing and dexterity, to hit him up to three times per turn. After he has suffered eight blows to the face, the monster vanishes.

The second hybrid, or transformation, is a pair of identical monsters. Each one appears to be made of [[Moskito]]'s body and [[Space Mama]]'s head, feet and hands (as seen in her first appearance in [[Eraser Plains]]), whilst also holding her rolling pin, which fires lasers (as seen in her second appearance in [[Space Mama's Crater]]. Their only attack is shooting at Rayman, which he can jump over or duck under. If both of them shoot at the same height, the lasers will touch each other, morph into one laser, and come down towards the ground, which can be very hard to dodge for Rayman if he is ducking. If Rayman is ducking after they have shot, they will wait until he stands up. When [[Rayman]] gets the chance, he can punch either one of the two. Both monsters share a single resistance bar. When they have been damaged eight times, the monsters vanish.

The third and final hybrid, or transformation, is a mixture of [[Mr Sax]], [[Space Mama]], and [[Moskito]]. He is comprised of [[Space Mama]]'s body, Mr Sax's feet and hands and Moskito's head. At the start of this fight, [[Rayman]] is shrunk to the same size he would have been had he touched a [[flying blue elf]]. As he tries to stomp him, Rayman must use his running ability to avoid getting squashed. If he makes it across, when the monster hits the ground, Rayman will fly into the air, which will give him a chance punch him in the face, the only part where he can get hurt.

Once the third hybrid, or transformation, has suffered eight punches, he vanishes, and [[Rayman]] is returned to his normal size. In the event that the monsters were hybrids created by fusing the previous bosses, it seems probable that Mr Dark set them on [[Rayman]] to stall him and give himself time to escape. In the event that the three monsters were transformations of Mr Dark, it would seem that Mr Dark was defeated by the final punch to the third form's head, and fled the [[Candy Chateau|château]] once beaten.
