'''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. | ||

[[ | [[File:CCJag4.PNG|320px|class=sprite|thumb|This part features [[Swiss army knife|Swiss army knives]] and [[corkscrew]]s.]] | ||
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]]''. | In [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]], this phase's layout is completely different.

[[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. | In this phase, [[Mr Dark]] casts a spell on [[Rayman]] and summons [[Bad Rayman]], his evil clone, who copies every single move he makes.

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. | Again, this phase is completely different in [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]], and as such, [[Bad Rayman]] does not appear at all.

[[Mr Dark]] then casts several spells on [[Rayman]]. The first one reverses his controls, meaning he will be walking left if the player wants to go right, and vice versa. 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 [[Running|run]] until this wears off, without the possibility of using his [[helicopter]] hair. At the very end of the phase, he will cast a last spell, which steals [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]]. | [[Mr Dark]] then casts several spells on [[Rayman]].

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". | This part is also very different in [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]].
