'''Mr Dark's Dare''' (French: '''''Le Défi de Mr Dark''''' – '''''The Challenge of Mr Dark''''') is the first and only level of [[Candy Château]], the sixth and final world of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. In [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]], it is known as '''Mr Dark's Château'''. The first time it is played, it consists of four parts. After that, it consists of zero; selecting the level from the map after completing it will show the player the happy ending screen, before going straight to the credits. However, in the [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar]] and [[Rayman Advance|Game Boy Advance]] versions, the entire level, including the boss, can be replayed even after playing through it once. This is because the game does not auto-save before triggering the end credits in these versions. In the [[Rayman (Nintendo DSi)|Nintendo DSi version]], only the first 3 parts of the level are replayable after beating it, possibly due to the fact that the credits are part of the pause menu in this version.

~~__NOTOC__~~

==Part 1==

In this phase, [[Rayman]] must slide across slippery hills of whipped cream while riding a [[frying pan]], making sure to avoid gaps and sweet colourful lakes.

In ~~this phase,~~ [[Rayman]] ~~has to slide on whipped cream with a~~ [[frying pan]], ~~avoiding gaps and lemonade lakes~~.

In [[Rayman (Nintendo DSi)|the DSiWare version]], the [[frying pan]] does not have any acceleration, meaning it constantly moves in the same speed no matter if the player is moving uphill or downhill.

==Part 1 ([[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar version]])==

In [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]], this phase's layout is completely different. Instead of riding on the [[frying pan]], [[Rayman]] has to follow some [[Ting]]s that form arrows, most of which lead to dead ends but make mostly [[cloud]]s appear. He will often have to [[Telescopic fist|punch]] [[Swiss army knife|Swiss army knives]] to get past them unhurt, and duck under [[corkscrew]]s while riding these [[cloud]]s. Both the [[Swiss army knife|Swiss army knives]] and the [[corkscrew]]s also appear in ''[[Rayman Designer]]''.

==Part 2==

[[File:BadRayman.png|316px|class=sprite|thumb|[[Rayman]] is pursued by [[Bad Rayman]].]]

In this phase, [[Mr Dark]] casts a spell on [[Rayman]] and summons [[Bad Rayman]], his evil clone, who copies every single move he makes. He then has to reach the [[exit sign]] without touching him. The phase has a bunch of small dead-end areas with extra [[Life|lives]] and other power-ups. Although they are not hard to find, or hard to get to, they are made difficult by the fact that [[Rayman]] is constantly being chased. It is, however, possible to skip the trigger, known as a [[gendoor]], which spawns [[Mr Dark]]. This can be done by [[running]] from the far left and jumping over the [[gendoor]] with his [[helicopter]] straight away. This method is quite hard to perform. In [[Rayman Advance|the Game Boy Advance version]], the [[gendoor]] is visible, being displayed as a small sparkle, making it much easier timing the jump.

Again, this phase is completely different in [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]], and as such, [[Bad Rayman]] does not appear at all. Instead [[Rayman]] can walk around without the fear of being stalked by a deadly spell, but there are still many dangers that lurk in the area.

==Part 3==

[[Mr Dark]] then casts several spells on [[Rayman]]. The first one reverses his controls, ~~id est~~ he will be walking left if the player wants to go right. Several [[clown]]s stand in his way to bring even more confusion. At a certain point, the spell will break, and [[Mr Dark]] will cast a new one, which forces [[Rayman]] to run until this wears off, without the possibility of using his [[helicopter]] hair. At the very end of the ~~level~~, he will cast a last spell, which steals [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]].

==Part 4==

[[File:MrDark.png|316px|class=sprite|thumb|The final battle against [[Mr Dark]]]]

[[File:Rayman Saturn Moons.png|320px|class=sprite|thumb|The stained glass windows shatter after [[Mr Dark]] is defeated in the Sega Saturn version.]]

[[Rayman]] has to battle [[Mr Dark]].

The Sega Saturn version is unique in that it features some effects not found in any other version: during the phase in which [[Mr Dark]] shoots fireballs at [[Rayman]], flames appear to be burning behind the stained glass windows representing the game's bosses in the background, illuminating them from behind. During the phases against the various creatures, a yellow light goes back and forth from left to right and right to left behind those same stained glass windows. Every time one of the creatures is hit by [[Rayman]], the stained glass windows representing the bosses that that particular creature is made up of start blinking with a white light for a few seconds. Once all three creatures have been defeated, all five of the stained glass windows blink for a few seconds and then shatter into pieces as [[Rayman]] does his celebration dance. The screen then briefly fades to black and resumes, and the words "You have done it! You have saved the world!" appear in the middle of the screen, while [[Rayman]] does a unique dance in which he strikes several poses not seen anywhere else in the game.

This part is also very different in [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]]. [[Mr Dark]] has 12 [[Resistance|health points]] rather than 24, he attacks [[Rayman]] with fireballs for a little while longer, he only morphs into two creatures instead of three ([[Mr Skops]]/[[Mr Stone]] and [[Bzzit]]/[[Mr Sax]]/[[Space Mama]], the latter being fought by [[Rayman]] with his normal size, as [[Flying Blue Elf|shrinking]] is absent from this version) and the creatures sweat and walk/jump away when they are damaged enough. When [[Mr Dark]] is defeated, [[Rayman]] does his victory pose and while doing so, many shining [[Electoon]] faces identical to the ones seen on the [[Cage|medallions]] appear around him, with a piece of colourful text saying "Well done".

Below is a comparison of the arena background between the different releases.
