Hi-Ho Moskito!: Difference between revisions

'''Hi-Ho Moskito!''' is the eighth and last level of the [[Jibberish Jungle]], the first world in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. It acts as a transition between the [[Jibberish Jungle]] and the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], in a similar way to the first part of [[Bongo Hills]] in the PC version and its ports of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. This level contains the first boss of this game, the [[Boss Bird]] (also called the [[Boss Bird|Guardian of the Music World]]), a gigantic yellow [[bird]] guarding the entrance to the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]]. This level is the second one from the world that appears in the [[Back to Origins]] mode in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

After hearing [[the Magician]] talk about collecting [[Electoon]]s, the team of heroes find and climb onto [[mosquito]]es, and begin to fly high over the jungle and must deal with [[Small fly|small flies]] and [[Big fly|large flies]]. A bit farther into the level, they enter a cave and must deal with [[hunter]]s shooting [[missile]]s and [[Livingstones|Lividstones]] with spiky protective hats. After a while of constantly fighting the enemies, they leave the cave and must then face more [[missile]]s.

Right after that, the transition between worlds is finished, as the team on their [[mosquito]]es start flying into the new world, the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]]. Here, strange thin objects can be seen coming through the clouds below. The heroes must face [[helicopter bomb]]s here, for an unplanned practice for the [[mosquito]]es to inhale [[Helicopter bomb|the bombs]] and use them as an attack. After that, they must fight the [[Boss Bird]]. To defeat it, the [[mosquito]]es need to inhale [[helicopter bomb]]s and shoot them back at [[Boss Bird]], one at a time. Once enough [[helicopter bomb]]s explode on [[Boss Bird]], it becomes deflated and flies away. The team can now get off their [[mosquito]]es as they reach the end of the room, to be able to go through a door, and break an [[Electoon]] [[cage]] to finish the level. Then the team poses on a [[The Photographer|photoboard]], while [[the Magician]] waits to see how many [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] that were collected in the level.

In the [[Back to Origins]] version, there are not many differences between the original version; except of the notable elements from ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' replacing some of the elements from the game.

*The level’s name may be a pun on ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Ranger The Lone Ranger]'''s phrase, "Hi-Yo, Silver!".

*It is possible in this level to reach the maximum score, which is 999 [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]]. To reach it, the player will have to keep inhaling [[helicopter bomb]]s and shooting them at the wall, not at [[Boss Bird]]. Each [[helicopter bomb]] earns 2 [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], so it will take quite a while for the player to reach that number. This is the only level in the game that is possible to reach the maximum number.

*On an early sketch, this level was supposed to have [[Hunter Bird]]s as enemies; however, the concept was [[Rayman Origins (early production)|scrapped]].
