They can also be found on Rayman's way when he is pursued by Mr Sax: in this case, they float in the air, and punching them will send them at him.

In Rayman

Allegro Presto

In the original Rayman game, Mr Sax is first encountered in Allegro Presto.

When the two first meet, Mr Sax blows another wrong note at Rayman, then turns and flees.

Then, he starts chasing Rayman, who can also punch the static wrong notes that stand in his way. This way, it is possible to take away as much as all 12 of his life points, making the final battle much easier or even skipping it altogether.[1]

In Rayman Ultimate, the port of the original Rayman game for the Pocket PC, all bosses have reduced health, with only 5 HP instead of 12 for Mr Sax. This makes it possible to underflow his health during the chase, meaning up to 255 hits are required in the final battle.[2]

The final battle takes place in the third part of Mr Sax's Hullaballoo. There, Mr Sax's main attacks consist in blowing wrong notes of different kinds at Rayman. The first type looks exactly like sliding wrong notes, except that one hit is enough to throw them back to the sender. He can blow three of them at a time.

The second type of wrong note are round notes which explode in the air and free eight tiny invincible wrong notes in the shape of the first type. Mr Sax can blow two of them at the same time, making it much harder to dodge the tiny notes.

Mr Sax's attacks also include stomping on Rayman, though he is quite easy to dodge. Once beaten, he starts dancing, and appears to be no longer hostile.
