'''Slapdashes''' are [[Hoodlum]]s armed with a boxing glove on a wooden stick that appear in ''[[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. 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. | Two of these Hoodlums are primarily seen raiding [[the Fairy Council]] with a [[Hoodmonger]] in the second part of the level.

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. | An enemy with a [[Grim Keeper]]'s body and a Slapdash's boxing glove appears in [[Hoodlum Hideout]] in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']].
