'''Antitoons''', known as '''Darktoons''' in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', are small minion enemies who are encountered frequently throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. Their most notable appearances are in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.

'''Antitoons''', known as '''Darktoons''' in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', are small minion enemies who are encountered frequently throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. Their appearance is similar to that of an [[Electoon]], except that Antitoons are larger, dark-blue in colour and with light-blue (or white) ponytails and are male, whereas Electoons are female. Their most notable appearances are in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In Origins, it is revealed that they are the offspring of [[Jano]], [[Polokus]]'s [[First Bad Dream]].

In the original game, they are small bodies of dark energy which began to proliferate after [[Mr Dark]] stole the [[Great Protoon]]. They are extremely common, appearing in each of the game's six worlds (a distinction they share with the [[Hunter]]s). Their appearance is similar to that of an [[Electoon]], except that Antitoons are larger, dark-blue in colour and with light-blue (or white) ponytails. Antitoons are male, whereas Electoons are female. There are several types of Antitoons, each with a different behaviour. All of them are weak enemies which need only one hit from [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] to be defeated.

In the original game, they are small bodies of dark energy which began to proliferate after [[Mr Dark]] stole the [[Great Protoon]]. They are extremely common, appearing in each of the game's six worlds (a distinction they share with the [[Hunter]]s). There are several types of Antitoons, each with a different behaviour. All of them are weak enemies which need only one hit from [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] to be defeated. Walking Antitoons are the most common of type. They freely wander on their platform, turning backwards when they face an obstacle. [[Rayman]] must simply avoid contact with them. Their small size makes them harder to hit, and [[Rayman]] often has to duck after [[Telescopic fist|punching]] so that his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] hits them on its way back to him.

[[Image:AntitoonSaut.png|thumb|316px|right|A jumping Antitoon]]

Jumping Antitoons are static enemies who jump and try to bite Rayman when he passes above them. They are often placed so that they can take advantage of their position.

[[Image:AntitoonFonceur2.png|thumb|316px|~~none~~|Rayman must duck to avoid the charging Antitoon]]

Charging Antitoons are static enemies who resemble their jumping counterparts, as they jump when [[Rayman]] is in sight, hover in the air for a moment with their mouths gaping, then through the air towards Rayman at a high speed. They can be [[telescopic fist|punched]] or ducked under.

[[Image:AntitoonsVolants.png|thumb|316px|none|Antitoons flying with [[helicopter]] hair]]

Flying Antitoons use their ponytail like [[Rayman]]'s [[Helicopter|helicopter hair]] to move through the air. Rayman simply has to avoid contact with them. The fact that they are often found in groups makes this more dificult.

~~[[Image:AntitoonsRouges.png|thumb|316px|none|Red Antitoons kill instantly upon contact, and must be avoided at all costs]]~~

Antitoons with a mixed behaviour can also be found in the game, such as walking and then jumping ones, or flying and walking ones.

==Rayman Junior==

[[Image:AntitoonsRouges.png|thumb|316px|right|Red Antitoons kill instantly upon contact, and must be avoided at all costs]]

In the ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' games, there are invincible and deadly red Antitoons who are here to sanction wrong answers. They can be of any kind, and any contact with them costs [[Rayman]] a [[life]].

In addition to blue and red Antitoons, ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'' also features grey, green, pink and yellow Antitoons. They appear in an activity called [[the Cartoon Dance]], in which the player must arrange them in certain patterns. These Antitoons perform dance routines each time the player completes a stage.

[[Rayman~~]] ~~is shown~~ in ~~his~~ ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' ~~appearance, surrounded by Antitoons. Despite this he does not appear fazed, and has in fact picked up a disgruntled Antitoon and is holding it up for the viewer to see~~. These Antitoons ~~look somewhat different from the ones that actually appear~~ in the ~~games, in that they are lighter in colour~~ and ~~appear more three-dimensional. On an official website,~~ [[~~Ubisoft~~]] ~~posted four high-resolution images depicting~~ this ~~interpretation~~ of the ~~Antitoons, with each Antitoon displaying a different emotion~~.

==Rayman 2: The Great Escape==

Antitoons also make a cameo appearance in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. These Antitoons can be found in [[the Fairy Glade]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] in this version of the game.

==Rayman Advance==

[[Image:Rayman Advance title screen Antitoon.png|thumb|320px|right|Rayman Advance title screen featuring an Antitoon]]

Antitoons are featured on the cover and title screen of ''[[Rayman Advance]]''. [[Rayman]] himself is shown in his ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' appearance, surrounded by Antitoons. Despite this he does not appear fazed, and has in fact picked up a disgruntled Antitoon and is holding it up for the viewer to see. These Antitoons look somewhat different from the ones that actually appear in the games, in that they are lighter in colour and appear more three-dimensional.

==Rayman Raving Rabbids==

[[File:Giant Antitoon angry.png|thumb|left|The giant Antitoon]]

A [[giant Antitoon]] is encountered as the first boss in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. It is purple in colour, and possibly partly or entirely mechanical, as he is controlled by the [[Rabbid]] [[Pink]].

==Rayman Origins==

Antitoons also appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where they are known as ''Darktoons'', and bear a more maniacal appearance looking less like their Electoon counterparts. They are slightly larger in body mass, they no longer wear gloves or shoes, they possess limbs and bigger mouths which practically make up their entire body, sharper teeth, and their hair is now colored white and red and in a mowhawk style as opposed to ponytails. They are less common than they were in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] and their only method of attacking is trying to bite the player whether they are on the ground or in the air. They can still be defeated by a single attack and are easier to defeat because of their larger size. In the first levels of the first five worlds, Antitoons can be seen with one of the [[Nymphs]] imprisoned in their mouths which Rayman and the team have to free by chasing the Antitoon down and defeating it. They also can be seen terrorizing the [[Red Wizard|Red Wizards]] in the level [[Port O' Panic]].

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Antitoons are referred to as Darktoons, and bear a slightly different appearance. Their numbers have declined since the time of [[Rayman 1|the original game]], but they are still vicious and tenacious enemies, and can often be found terrorising the people of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. In this game their ultimate origin is revealed: they are the offspring of [[Jano]], [[Polokus]]'s [[First Bad Dream]].
