When Moskito is first encountered, he chases [[Rayman]] with a giant [[spiky fruit]]. During the battle, he attacks [[Rayman]] by trying to poke him with his proboscis and uses [[spiky fruit]]s of various sizes to attack. With precise timing, it is possible to hit him twice per turn, before he flies up and away after the first hit.

It is thought that all instances in which Moskito shares [[Bzzit]]'s colouration are mistakes or problem arising from hardware limitations; Moskito's ‘true’ colour is believed to be red, not purple. The versions of the game in which Moskito appears to have Bzzit's colours (PC, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation only during the pursuit) have led to great confusion and debate amongst players regarding the identities of the two [[mosquito|mosquitoes]]. The versions of the game where the colours were displayed correctly were during Moskito's battle in the PlayStation and both in the pursuit and Moskito's battle in the Atari Jaguar.
During Moskito's battle in the Sega Saturn and PlayStation versions, and both in the pursuit and Moskito's battle in the Atari Jaguar, Moskito is red with pink gloves, and a grey proboscis, shoes and stripes. But in the PC version and during the pursuit on Sega Saturn and PlayStation, Moskito appears with a pink skin with yellow stripes, shoes and proboscis, and white gloves and wings, like [[Bzzit]].


In the PC and Sega Saturn versions of the game, Moskito has different colours; instead of being mostly red with pink gloves, and a grey proboscis, shoes and stripes, he appears with a purple skin with yellow stripes, shoes and proboscis, and white gloves and wings, like [[Bzzit]]. Another difference is that the berries he uses are different colours instead of all being the same colour. Whilst [[Rayman]] is getting chased by Moskito with the giant [[spiky fruit]] when he is first encountered (All versions except Atari Jaguar), and in the battle against [[Mr Dark]], when the latter transforms into a hybrid of Moskito, [[Mr Sax]] and [[Space Mama]], his colours are the same as [[Bzzit]].

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', up to four friendly [[mosquito]]es appear, and can be ridden by the player characters in the game's sidescrolling shooter levels. In this game, they are referred to as 'Moskitoes', probably as a reference to the boss from the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', up to four friendly [[mosquito]]es appear, and can be ridden by the player characters in the game's sidescrolling shooter levels. In this game, they are referred to as 'Moskitoes', but it is not clear which (if any) of them are the original Moskito from the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''.
