Slapdash

Line 10:

'''Slapdashes''' are [[Hoodlum]]s armed with a boxing glove on a wooden stick that appear in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''.

The Slapdash is not only the weakest member of the [[Hoodlum]] army, as it can be defeated with one single shot, it is also the least intelligent, taking the phrase 'to give the upper hand' literally. These Hoodlums are traditionally branded the lowest form of Hoodlum soldier and are thus only given a stick with a boxing glove as an attacking weapon. In appearance, the Slapdash wears a bright red gown.

These Hoodlums are traditionally branded the lowest form of Hoodlum soldier and are thus only given a stick with a boxing glove as an attacking weapon. In appearance, the Slapdash wears a bright red gown.

Two of these Hoodlums are primarily seen raiding [[the Fairy Council]] with a [[Hoodmonger]] in the second part of the level. Later in the game these enemies often appear in small formed groups, usually at camps with other types of [[Hoodlum]]s.

~~They also have to unique ability to spring out of nowhere when~~ [[~~Rayman~~]] ~~approaches them, taking him by surprise.~~

They also have to unique ability to spring out of nowhere when [[Rayman]] approaches them, taking him by surprise. Despite being seen moving in one of [[the Fairy Council]]'s cutscenes, they always remain static in-game. Their only weapon is a boxing glove attached to the end of a stick, which is used both to crudely swipe the victim if they come too close, or to fire boxing gloves from longer distances. Its functioning, therefore, is more complex than it may seem at first.

~~==Attack==~~

In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Slapdashes can move and only attack [[Rayman]] by swiping their weapon when he is close enough.

~~The~~ only ~~real form of~~ attack ~~the Slapdash has is its~~ weapon~~, being a boxing glove attached to the end of a stick. This~~ is ~~used both to crudely swipe the victim if he comes too~~ close~~, or to fire boxing gloves from longer distances. Its functioning, therefore, is more complex than it may seem at first~~.

As aforementioned, the Slapdash is the least intelligent Hoodlum and has no premeditated form of defence, aside a crude swipe of its stick. It can therefore be defeated with one single shot (naturally without requirement of influence from the [[~~Laser~~-~~Washing Powder~~]] ~~superpowers).~~

Line 28:

* An early piece of artwork hows a Slapdash holding an axe. Whether this was going to be its original weapon or not is unclear.

* An enemy with a [[Grim Keeper]]'s body and a Slapdash's boxing glove appears in [[Hoodlum Hideout]]. It wanders around on its platform until it sees [[Rayman]] and attacks. Its attack consists of charging into [[Rayman]] like [[Bégoniax]], which he must jump over in the same fashion. When the [[Hoodlum]]'s back is turned to [[Rayman]], he must punch it. Punching it twice causes the [[Hoodlum]] to be defeated.

* The Slapdash never moves in-game; in one of the Fairy Council's cutscenes, it shows they are capable of moving, but this is the only instance which proves they move.
