The Buccaneer ~~is the massive Pirate Ship the Robo-Pirates used as a main base and in order to get to [[the Glade of Dreams~~]].

[[File:Buccaneer Model.png|thumb|right|250px|The ''Buccaneer''.]]

~~==Description==~~

The '''''Buccaneer''''' is the colossal flying prison-ship which acts as the base of operations for the [[Robo-Pirate]] army as they fly from planet to planet, searching for innocent prey to enslave. Its commander is the [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]].

On the outside ~~it looks like any normal Pirate Ship except much bigger and with a giant~~ Robo-Pirate ~~skull carved on the front~~. The ~~inside has lots~~ of ~~wood~~, lava~~, technology and metalworks~~.

The hull of the ship appears to be mainly metal, but the outside contains the same lopsided wooden construction work found throughout all the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' territory. The ship is large enough to carry tens of thousands of [[cage]]d slaves, and can survive travel through the depths of interstellar space. It contains many pits of lava. Presumably it is the same ship which accompanied [[Razorbeard]] on his conquest of over 100 peaceful planets.

==History==

[[Polokus]] ~~transported~~ [[Rayman]] to the Buccaneer ~~when all four masks were collected~~, ~~while the~~ [[General]] (who appeared in Tonic Trouble) ~~sold~~ [[the Grolgoth]] to [[~~Admiral Razorbeard~~]]~~. Rayman had~~ to ~~slide~~ and fly his way through ~~before~~ he ~~reached~~ Razorbeard. Razorbeard ~~lured~~ Rayman to ~~him~~ by using Globox as bait. ~~It worked~~, ~~and~~ the ~~Admiral, in his new~~ Grolgoth~~, fought Rayman~~. Rayman ~~managed~~ to damage ~~him~~ a little ~~and Razorbeard tried~~ to ~~jump on~~ Rayman~~, but ended up smashing~~ the ~~ground and~~ plunging ~~them both~~ into the lava pool below. Rayman ~~was~~ saved by a [[Silver Lum]] ~~sent by~~ [[Ly]]~~, but~~ the Grolgoth~~, being a machine, didn't need saving. Rayman managed~~ to ~~take control~~ of a [[~~flying shell~~]] ~~and defeat~~ Razorbeard, ~~but~~ the ~~Admiral left~~ before ~~blowing~~ up the ~~ship~~ with Rayman in it.

''[[Rayman 2]]'' begins and ends aboard the ''Buccaneer''. At the start of the game, a despairing [[Rayman]], already imprisoned on the ship, wakes up to find his friend [[Globox]] thrown into his cell with him. When [[Globox]] gives the hero a [[Silver Lum]] from [[Ly]] the Fairy, [[Rayman]] recovers his [[magic fist]] and uses it to break down one of the [[Sparadrap|shoddy walls]] of the cell, allowing both characters to slide down a ventilation shaft and escape.

===Storming [[the Prison Ship]]===

Near the end of the game, after [[Rayman]] returns the fourth and final [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask]] to [[Polokus]]; [[Polokus]] transports [[Rayman]] to the ''Buccaneer''. This level is called [[the Prison Ship]]. Meanwhile, [[the General]] (a malevolent character who also appeared in ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'') sells the ''Buccaneer'''s [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] a pilotable war-machine called the [[Grolgoth]]. [[Rayman]] has to make his way past treacherous slides and fly through labyrinthine passageways on a [[flying shell]] before he finally found his way to the part of the ship where the prisoners (including many [[bird]]s, [[Teensie]]s, [[Ludiv]]s and [[baby Globox]]es) were being held. A [[Teensie]] opens a [[Spiral Door]] through which the prisoners can escape, and [[Rayman]] runs off, saying he still needs to find [[Globox]].

===Battle on [[the Crow's Nest]]===

The next (and final) level, [[the Crow's Nest]], takes place on the crow's nest of the ''Buccaneer'' and follows directly from the previous level. [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] lures [[Rayman]] to the nest by using [[Globox]] as bait. After managing to get [[Globox]] out of harm's way, [[Rayman]] confronts [[Razorbeard]], who is now wielding the [[Grolgoth]] he purchased from [[the General]]. [[Rayman]] manages to damage the [[Grolgoth]] a little in a brief struggle which ends when the [[Grolgoth]]'s weight causes the floor of the crow's nest to collapse. [[Rayman]] and the [[Grolgoth]] are both sent plunging directly through the ''Buccaneer'''s hollow mast into the lava pool below. [[Rayman]] is saved by [[Ly]] the Fairy, who sends a [[Silver Lum]] which catches [[Rayman]] and gives him a [[flying shell]] with an energy-weapon attached. He then turns to see the [[Grolgoth]] clinging to the walls of the lava-filled chamber. After a long battle in this furnace, [[Rayman]] defeats [[Razorbeard]], who activates the [[Grolgoth]]'s self-destruct mechanism before entering his escape pod and flying up through the mast (and eventually into outer space). The [[Grolgoth]]'s explosion is large enough to destroy the ''Buccaneer'' completely. [[Rayman]]'s friends can find only his shoe and presume him dead; however, he survived the explosion and is reunited with them at the end of the game.

==Trivia==

* At the beginning of the Prison Ship, The General from one of Michel Ancel's other games, Tonic Trouble, appears. He sells Razorbeard the Grolgoth.

* When [[Rayman]] fights [[Razorbeard]] in [[the Crow's Nest]], if the player flies straight up at the ceiling while holding the jump and shoot buttons, [[Rayman]] will go through it and end up in a tunnel. If [[Rayman]] flies through to the end of the tunnel, he will be transported back to [[Razorbeard]] but with infinite shots.

* When ~~you fight~~ Razorbeard in [[the Crow's Nest]], if ~~you fly~~ straight up at the ceiling while ~~repeatedly pressing~~ the jump and shoot ~~button~~, ~~you'll~~ go through it and end up in a tunnel. If ~~you fly~~ through to the end of the tunnel, ~~you'll~~ be transported back to Razorbeard but with ~~infinity~~ shots.
