'''Mr Dark''' is [[Rayman]]'s arch-nemesis, and a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. A diabolical and mysterious shape-shifting sorcerer, Mr Dark has attempted to disrupt the balance of [[the Glade of Dreams]] on several occasions, but is always thwarted by [[Rayman]]. His features are hidden beneath a shadowy cloak and hat, beneath which only his glowing yellow eyes can be seen. Mr Dark's first appearance is in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], where he acts as the main antagonist and final boss. He makes similar villainous appearances in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color adaptation of ''Rayman'']]. Mr Dark was originally meant to return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but he was cut from the final game and replaced with [[the Magician]], a secret admirer of his whom he inspired to become a villain. | '''Mr Dark''' is [[Rayman]]'s arch-nemesis, and a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]].

==In ''Rayman Junior''== | |||
Mr Dark also appears in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', an educational spin-off of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. In this game, he steals the [[Magic Book of Knowledge]] from [[the Magician]] and destroys a map to [[Mr Dark's Lair|his hideout]] in [[Candy Château]]. He casts the same spells on [[Rayman]] as he did in [[Rayman 1|the original game]], but due to the game's educational nature, he doesn't fight as a boss at all. Once [[Rayman]] has solved the riddles on the parchment showing the way to [[Mr Dark's Lair|his hideout]] and been through his spells, Mr Dark doesn't appear any more and [[Rayman]] eventually finds [[Magic Book of Knowledge|the Book of Knowledge]]. | Mr Dark also appears in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', an educational spin-off of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].

==In ''Rayman 2''== | |||
Mr Dark is referred to by name in the manual for ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where it is revealed that his defeat at the hands of [[Rayman]] is what convinced the inhabitants of [[the Glade of Dreams]] that the hero was trustworthy. However, he makes no actual appearance in the game. | |||
Previews of [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']] mention that the [[Robo-Pirate]] invasion took place after Mr Dark vanished from [[the valley|Rayman's island]] following the events of [[Rayman 1|the first game]]. It is not known if Mr Dark was ever planned to return and have a relevant role in this game; other characters from the original, including [[Betilla]] the fairy, were intended to make an appearance. | |||
==In ''Rayman 3''== | |||
[[File:2D Madness ending.png|thumb|320px|A picture of Mr Dark can be seen on the floor to the left at the ending of ''[[Rayman 3]]'''s [[2D Madness]] minigame. This represents Mr Dark's only appearance in a 3D [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]] to date.]] | |||
Mr Dark makes a subtle cameo appearance in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. At the end of the [[2D Madness]] minigame, a few photographs from [[Rayman 1|the original game]] are seen briefly and between them they show almost all of the game's characters, including Mr Dark. In addition, the design of the game's titular [[Hoodlum]] enemies was conceived as a visual mixture between Mr Dark and the [[Hunter]]s. | |||
