Ninja Henchman: Difference between revisions

The second Ninja Pirate is encountered within the interior of the [[Prison Ship]], where it will need to be defeated in order to have a [[Flying Shell]] spawn for Rayman to progress. This Ninja Pirate is more formidable than the first, as it will leap away from sight after an attack, and can then land at any point to resume its attack, including where Rayman stands and causing him to be momentarily flattened. It can attack by throwing fire in the same vein as a flamethrower, in addition to also swiping its hook at Rayman, should he be close enough. A [[Gold Fist]] is close to where this Ninja Pirate is encountered, which will help in dealing more damage when the Ninja Pirate is open to attack.

===Playstation version===

Ninja Pirates feature more prominently in this version of the game, where it is revealed that they are their own unique squad within the [[Robo-Pirate]] army. Their leader is also revealed to be [[Ninjaws]], who will personally fight [[Rayman]] as the boss of [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], to prevent him from gaining possession of the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Second Mask of Polokus]]. Another four Ninja Pirates will make appearances as mini-bosses in [[the Precipice]], [[the Tomb of the Ancients]], and [[Gloomy Island]]. [[Rayman]] also fights their leader, [[Ninjaws]], in [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].

Ninjaws and the Ninja Pirates in this game all employ the same technique, they will disappear and reappear after every attack. Their main tactic is to try and appear close to [[Rayman]] and hit him with their hooks, dodging this attack successfully is vital, as it is revealed by [[Umber]] that their hooks are heavy. It is due to this heaviness that the Ninja Pirate will momentarily struggle to lift their hooks, should Rayman dodge them, and thus, give him an opening to retaliate. In addition to this attack, they will also periodically fire yellow energy projectiles at Rayman. When sufficiently damaged, they will disappear and reappear in a circular pattern, firing a projectile each time they reappear, before returning to attacking with their hooks.

===[[Rayman Revolution|Playstation 2 version]]===

In ''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' they are referred as the Generator Guardians of the two [[Generator Room|generators]] of [[the Pirate Factory]] and can be seen standing on either side of [[Admiral Razorbeard]]'s chair in the Prison Ship cutscenes. They have unlimited heath, as it is not necessary to defeat them in order to destroy the [[Generator Room|generators]]; however, it can be done by shooting them as they stand near a pool of lava, causing them to fall in. They fire the same bullets as the [[green Robo-Pirate]]s, but they are more accurate and faster. These pirates wear a red bandana, have a black torso, have a cylinder for a head, a white eye and an eye patch. Once [[Rayman]] destroys the [[Generator Room|generators]], he can enter [[the Pirate Factory]]. After he has destroyed them, these two Ninja Henchmen are absent in the next [[Razorbeard]] cutscene, regardless of whether [[Rayman]] actually destroys them or not.

Notably, their hands look like fists, although they have hook in right hand, growing up from the fingers, and they can shoot with the flames from their left hands, like normal Henchmen, although it appears that they are shooting from their fingers.

Promotional artwork for this game shows that a Ninja Pirate was an intended character to feature, but, much like [[Ly]], it was scrapped at some stage and does not feature in the final product.
