'''Space Mama''' is a large woman with blonde hair and the fourth boss in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', located in [[Picture City]], in [[Space Mama's Crater]].
{{Quote|text=This is [[Picture City|the world of images]], and also the world of mirages: passing across the stage of a small theatre, [[Rayman]] can find on his path beings straight from a pirate or a science fiction film. In particular, he meets Mama, an impressive shrew armed with a bizarre rolling pin...|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''}}


She is first encountered at the end of [[Eraser Plains]], on a theatre scene with a seaside décor, where she fights [[Rayman]] in a Viking getup. She arrives from the cannon of the fake drakkar, after he has defeated her two [[Pirate (Picture City)|cabin boys]].
'''Space Mama''', also known as '''Pirate Mama'''<ref>Video Games Densetsu, ''rayman-ps1-saturn-jaguar-pc-ubisoft-1995'', http://videogamesdensetsu.tumblr.com/post/167597245900/rayman-ps1-saturn-jaguar-pc-ubisoft-1995</ref> or simply '''Mama''', is the large, blonde-haired woman who serves as the fourth boss in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. She is the boss of [[Picture City]] the fourth of the game's six worlds, and she is fought in the levels [[Eraser Plains]] and [[Space Mama's Crater]]. She was at one point in her life captured by an ancestor of [[Razoff|Count Razoff]] (most likely his father Zaroff), in order to perpetuate [[Shoedsackovskaïa family|his family]]'s great hunting tradition.


Her main attack consists in throwing knives at [[Rayman]] from her rolling pin. Those knives either stick into the floor, and can be used to rebound on them and punch Space Mama in the face, before they start moving again and leave the scene, or keep spinning in the air, and fall in [[Rayman]]'s direction, one after the other.
Space Mama forms part of the second (her first form's head and rolling pin) and the final (her second form's torso) transformations of [[Mr Dark]] fought at the end of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''==
===[[Eraser Plains]]===
She is first encountered at the end of [[Eraser Plains]], on a theatre scene with a seaside décor, where she fights [[Rayman]] in a stereotypical Viking getup, wearing a historically inaccurate horned helmet. She arrives from the cannon of the fake drakkar, after he has defeated her two [[Pirate (Picture City)|cabin boys]].


[[Image:SpaceMamaCouteaux.png|thumb|316px|none|Space Mama's flying knives]]
Her main attack consists of throwing knives at [[Rayman]] from her rolling pin. Those knives either stick into the floor, and can be used to bounce on them and [[Telescopic fist|punch]] Space Mama in the face, before they start moving again and leave the scene, or keep spinning in the air, and fall in [[Rayman]]'s direction, one after the other.


The final battle takes place in [[Space Mama's Crater]], on a theatre scene with a spatial décor. She arrives in a flying washing machine, dressed with an astronaut suit, and [[Rayman]] must duck to dodge it.

Her first attack consists in shooting lasers from her rolling pin, and [[Rayman]] has to punch her in the face until she flies away. Then, she tries to land on him several times, and keeps shooting lasers.
===[[Space Mama's Crater]]===
The second and final encounter with Space Mama also takes place on a stage, but with a space background to reflect the space thematic Space Mama is employing. She will enter the stage via a flying washing machine, which can deal damage to [[Rayman]] should he come into contact with it while it is in flight.


[[Image:SpaceMamaLaser.png|thumb|316px|left|Space Mama shooting a laser from her rolling pin]]
Space Mama's first attack consists of shooting [[laser]]s from her rolling pin, [[Rayman]] will need to [[Telescopic fist|punch]] her in the face until she flies away. She will then try to land on him, which would cause damage, before continuing to shoot more [[laser]]s.

Then, Space Mama starts whirling across the area and drops pressure cookers behind her. Those pots explode in two parts which go out in opposite directions, and [[Rayman]] has to find the right position to dodge them all.
When sufficiently damaged, Space Mama will start whirling across the stage and drop pressure cookers behind her. These cookers will explode in two parts, the lid, and the pot, these parts will then be launched in opposing directions, and can damage [[Rayman]] if he comes into contact with them. Thus, [[Rayman]] must find an open spot that will prevent him from making contact.


After this, she tries to land on [[Rayman]] once more, and then hides behind her washing machine and fires lasers at him. [[Rayman]] has to punch the machine until all the lights on the dial have turned on, and then the machine will start rebounding towards him and leave the area.

During the final part of the battle, she will alternately drop pressure cookers and shoot lasers at [[Rayman]] until he defeats her.
During the final part of the battle, she will alternate between dropping pressure cookers and shooting [[laser]]s at [[Rayman]] until he defeats her. In the PC version of the game, she begins to dance after her defeat; [[Mr Sax]], [[Mr Stone]] and [[Mr Skops]] do this when they are defeated, in all versions of the game.

===Ending===
[[File:VAC-2.png|thumb|316px|class=sprite|Space Mama on holiday after the events of [[Rayman 1|the game]].]]


{{French
After [[Mr Dark]]'s hybrids, or transformations of himself, have all been defeated, [[Rayman]] rescues [[Betilla]] the Fairy, recovers the [[Great Protoon]] and restores peace to [[the valley]]. Most of the creatures and characters under [[Mr Dark]]'s dominion repent; many of them then go on holiday to celebrate, including Space Mama. During the end credits, several photographs of characters on holiday are shown. Amongst them is a picture of Space Mama on a beach, clutching a towel to herself and looking shocked; apparently [[the Photographer]] had tried to take a picture of her while she was sunbathing. This picture was removed from some releases of the game, perhaps because it was deemed inappropriate for a children's game.

==In ''[[Rayman 3]]''==
No reference to Space Mama is made in the game itself, however, official material states that she was once captured by one of [[Razoff|Count Razoff]]'s ancestors.
 
==In ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]''==
While Space Mama herself does not appear at all in ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', the curtains from her battles appear in a concept art for the game's backstage props. It is unknown if these made it to the final game.

== Trivia ==
*In the game files she is referred to as "meredenis". This is likely a reference to [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A8re_Denis Mère Denis], a French woman who would appear in commercials for washing machines. Similarly a minigame in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'' where the player washes clothes has the same name in the files.
*Space Mama's feet do not have a hitbox, meaning it is possible to escape and dodge her attacks by crawling under her.
