Mr Skops: Difference between revisions

==[[Rayman_(early_production)#Super_Nintendo_Entertainment_System_version|Early version of ''Rayman 1'']]==

At a very early point in its production, [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] was [[Rayman (early production)#Super Nintendo Entertainment System version|planned for release on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. In 2010, the French retro-gaming magazine [[Pix'n Love]] printed an article on the history of the ''Rayman'' series, including several in-game screenshots of the scrapped Super Nintendo version. One screenshot depicts [[Rayman]] and his [[Rayman's girlfriend|female companion]] battling a very early version of Mr Skops. This version of the character can still shoot electricity from the tip of his tail, but he looks much more like a real scorpion; he has two claws instead of one, and his carapace is a shady orange colour rather than a bright pink.

Some pieces of advertisement from the game, as well as the packaging of some versions, bear a screenshot which shows [[Rayman]] battling Mr Skops in [[the Dream Forest]] rather than in [[the Caves of Skops]]. It is not known if this screenshot was created solely for the purpose of marketing, or if this scenario actually existed in any early version of the game. Neither of the [[Rayman (early production)|leaked Atari Jaguar prototypes]] contain any trace of this battle, although they differ from [[Rayman 1|the final version]] in numerous other ways.
