'''Space Mama''', also known simply as '''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.

Space Mama forms part of the second (her Viking head and Rolling Pin) and the final (her Space Torso) boss hybrids fought at the end of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in [[Rayman 1]].
==In ''[[Rayman 1]]''==
===[[Eraser Plains]]===
She is first encountered at the end of [[Eraser Plains]], on a theatre scene with a seaside décor, where she fights [[Rayman]] in Viking getup. 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 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.

===[[Space Mama's Crater]]===
The second and final encounter with Space Mama also takes place on a stage, but with a space background to reflect the space thematic Space Mama is employing. She will enter the stage via a flying washing machine, which can deal damage to Rayman should he come into contact with it while it is in flight.

Space Mama's first attack consists of shooting lasers from her rolling pin, [[Rayman]] will need to punch her in the face until she flies away. She will then try to land on him, which would cause damage, before continuing to shoot more lasers.

The final battle takes place in [[Space Mama's Crater]], on a theatre scene with a spatial décor. She arrives in a flying washing machine, dressed with an astronaut suit, and [[Rayman]] must duck to dodge it.
 
Her first attack consists in shooting lasers from her rolling pin, and [[Rayman]] has to punch her in the face until she flies away. Then, she tries to land on him several times, and keeps shooting lasers.

When sufficiently damaged, Space Mama will start whirling across the stage and drop pressure cookers behind her. These cookers will explode in two parts, the lid, and the pot, these parts will then be launched in opposing directions, and can damage Rayman if he comes into contact with them. Thus, Rayman must find an open spot that will prevent him from making contact.
 
 
Then, Space Mama starts whirling across the area and drops pressure cookers behind her. Those pots explode in two parts which go out in opposite directions, and [[Rayman]] has to find the right position to dodge them all.


After this, she tries to land on [[Rayman]] once more, and then hides behind her washing machine and fires lasers at him. [[Rayman]] has to punch the machine until all the lights on the dial have turned on, and then the machine will start bouncing towards him and leave the area.

During the final part of the battle, she will alternately drop pressure cookers and shoot lasers at [[Rayman]] until he defeats her. In the PC version of the game, she begins to dance after her defeat; [[Mr Sax]], [[Mr Stone]] and [[Mr Skops]] do this when they are defeated, in all versions of the game.

When [[Rayman]] confronts [[Mr Dark]] in the last level of the game, [[Mr Dark's Dare]], he must complete three consecutive boss fights with creatures which appear to be fusions of the game's previous bosses, and possibly transformations of [[Mr Dark]] himself. The second battle is against a pair of creatures, both of whom are mixtures of [[Moskito]] and Space Mama, with the head Space Mama had in the [[Eraser Plains]] fight and the laser-firing rolling pin she had in the [[Space Mama's Crater]] fight. The third battle is against a mixture of [[Moskito]], [[Mr Sax]] and Space Mama, with only Space Mama's body (from the [[Space Mama's Crater]] fight) incorporated.


===The Ending===
[[Image:VAC-2.png|right|thumb|316px|Space Mama on holiday after the events of [[Rayman 1|the game]]]]
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.

==In ''[[Rayman 3]]''==
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.
