Moskito: Difference between revisions

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 nose 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.

In the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Atari Jaguar versions of the game, Moskito has different colours; instead of being mostly purple with white gloves, and a yellow nose, shoes and stripes, he appears a more reddish purple colour, is a dark purple where he used to be yellow, his wings are red and his gloves are changed to a brighter purple. 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, 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 in the PC version. 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 purple, not pink. The versions of the game in which Moskito appears to have Bzzit's colours have led to great confusion and debate amongst players regarding the identities of the two [[mosquito|mosquitoes]].

Moskito will make a new appearance as an ally of [[Rayman]] in the upcoming ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. It was revealed that he will be ridable and able to shoot from his proboscis, like [[Bzzit]] in the beta version of ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' for the Atari Jaguar.
