This is the world of images, and also the world of mirages: passing across the stage of a small theatre, Rayman can find on his path beings straight from a pirate or a science fiction film. In particular, he meets Mama, an impressive shrew armed with a bizarre rolling pin...
—Manual, Rayman

Space Mama, also known simply as Mama, is the large, blonde-haired woman who serves as the fourth boss in the original Rayman game. She is the boss of Picture City the fourth of the game's six worlds, and she is fought in the levels Eraser Plains and Space Mama's Crater. She was at one point in her life captured by an ancestor of Count Razoff (most likely his father Zaroff), in order to perpetuate his family's great hunting tradition.

She is first encountered at the end of Eraser Plains, on a theatre scene with a seaside décor, where she fights Rayman in Viking getup. She arrives from the cannon of the fake drakkar, after he has defeated her two cabin boys.

Her main attack consists of throwing knives at Rayman from her rolling pin. Those knives either stick into the floor, and can be used to bounce on them and punch Space Mama in the face, before they start moving again and leave the scene, or keep spinning in the air, and fall in Rayman's direction, one after the other.

The final battle takes place in Space Mama's Crater, on a theatre scene with a spatial décor. She arrives in a flying washing machine, dressed with an astronaut suit, and Rayman must duck to dodge it.

Her first attack consists in shooting lasers from her rolling pin, and Rayman has to punch her in the face until she flies away. Then, she tries to land on him several times, and keeps shooting lasers.

Then, Space Mama starts whirling across the area and drops pressure cookers behind her. Those pots explode in two parts which go out in opposite directions, and Rayman has to find the right position to dodge them all.

After this, she tries to land on Rayman once more, and then hides behind her washing machine and fires lasers at him. Rayman has to punch the machine until all the lights on the dial have turned on, and then the machine will start bouncing towards him and leave the area.

During the final part of the battle, she will alternately drop pressure cookers and shoot lasers at Rayman until he defeats her. In the PC version of the game, she begins to dance after her defeat; Mr Sax, Mr Stone and Mr Skops do this when they are defeated, in all versions of the game.

When Rayman confronts Mr Dark in the last level of the game, Mr Dark's Dare, he must complete three consecutive boss fights with creatures which appear to be fusions of the game's previous bosses, and possibly transformations of Mr Dark himself. The second battle is against a pair of creatures, both of whom are mixtures of Moskito and Space Mama, with the head Space Mama had in the Eraser Plains fight and the laser-firing rolling pin she had in the Space Mama's Crater fight. The third battle is against a mixture of Moskito, Mr Sax and Space Mama, with only Space Mama's body (from the Space Mama's Crater fight) incorporated.

After Mr Dark's hybrids, or transformations of himself, have all been defeated, Rayman rescues Betilla the Fairy, recovers the Great Protoon and restores peace to the valley. Most of the creatures and characters under Mr Dark's dominion repent; many of them then go on holiday to celebrate, including Space Mama. During the end credits, several photographs of characters on holiday are shown. Amongst them is a picture of Space Mama on a beach, clutching a towel to herself and looking shocked; apparently the Photographer had tried to take a picture of her while she was sunbathing. This picture was removed from some releases of the game, perhaps because it was deemed inappropriate for a children's game.
