The '''Buccaneer''' is the colossal flying prison-ship which acts as the base of operations for the [[Robo-Pirate]] army as they fly from planet to planet, searching for innocent prey to enslave. Its commander is the [[Admiral Razorbeard]].

The '''''Buccaneer''''' is the colossal flying prison-ship which acts as the base of operations for the [[Robo-Pirate]] army as they fly from planet to planet, searching for innocent prey to enslave. Its commander is the [[Admiral Razorbeard]].

The hull of the ship appears to be mainly metal, but the outside contains the same lopsided wooden construction work found throughout all the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' territory. The ship is large enough to carry tens of thousands of [[cage]]d slaves, and can survive travel through the depths of interstellar space. It contains many pits of lava. Presumably it is the same ship which accompanied [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] on his conquest of over 100 peaceful planets.

==History==

''[[Rayman 2]]'' begins and ends aboard the Buccaneer. At the start of the game, a despairing [[Rayman]], already imprisoned on the ship, wakes up to find his friend [[Globox]] thrown into his cell with him. When [[Globox]] gives the hero a [[Silver Lum]] from [[Ly]] the Fairy, [[Rayman]] recovers his [[magic fist]] and uses it to break down one of the [[Sparadrap|shoddy walls]] of the cell, allowing both characters to slide down a ventilation shaft and escape.

===Storming [[the Prison Ship]]===

Near the end of the game, after [[Rayman]] returns the fourth and final [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask]] to [[Polokus]]; [[Polokus]] transports [[Rayman]] to the Buccaneer. This level is called [[the Prison Ship]]. Meanwhile, [[the General]] (a malevolent character who also appeared in ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'') sells the Buccaneer's [[Admiral Razorbeard]] a pilotable war-machine called the [[Grolgoth]]. [[Rayman]] has to make his way past treacherous slides and fly through labyrinthine passageways on a [[flying shell]] before he finally found his way to the part of the ship where the prisoners (including many [[bird]]s, [[Teensie]]s, [[Ludiv]]s and [[baby Globox]]es) were being held. A [[Teensie]] opens a [[Spiral Door]] through which the prisoners can escape, and [[Rayman]] runs off, saying he still needs to find [[Globox]].

===Battle on [[the Crow's Nest]]===

The next (and final) level, [[the Crow's Nest]], takes place on the crow's nest of the Buccaneer and follows directly from the previous level. [[Admiral Razorbeard]] lures [[Rayman]] to the nest by using [[Globox]] as bait. After managing to get [[Globox]] out of harm's way, [[Rayman]] confronts [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], who is now wielding the [[Grolgoth]] he purchased from [[the General]]. [[Rayman]] manages to damage the [[Grolgoth]] a little in a brief struggle which ends when the [[Grolgoth]]'s weight causes the floor of the crow's nest to collapse. [[Rayman]] and the [[Grolgoth]] are both sent plunging directly through the Buccaneer's hollow mast into the lava pool below. [[Rayman]] is saved by [[Ly]] the Fairy, who sends a [[Silver Lum]] which catches [[Rayman]] and gives him a [[flying shell]] with an energy-weapon attached. He then turns to see the [[Grolgoth]] clinging to the walls of the lava-filled chamber. After a long battle in this furnace, [[Rayman]] defeats [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], who activates the [[Grolgoth]]'s self-destruct mechanism before entering his escape pod and flying up through the mast (and eventually into outer space). The [[Grolgoth]]'s explosion is large enough to destroy the Buccaneer completely. [[Rayman]]'s friends can find only his shoe and presume him dead; however, he survived the explosion and is reunited with them at the end of the game.

==Trivia==

*When [[Rayman]] fights [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in [[the Crow's Nest]], if the player flies straight up at the ceiling while holding the jump and shoot buttons, [[Rayman]] will go through it and end up in a tunnel. If [[Rayman]] flies through to the end of the tunnel, he will be transported back to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] but with infinite shots.
