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.

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. | 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.

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]]. | 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''.

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. | 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.
