'''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 [[Count Razoff]] (most likely his father Zaroff), in order to perpetuate [[Shoedsackovskaïa family|his family]]'s great hunting tradition.

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]].


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.

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.

No reference to Space Mama is made in the game itself, however, official material states that she was once captured by one of [[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.
