Mr. Sax forms part of the third and final boss hybrid in the final battle that takes place in [[Mr Dark's Dare]] at the end of Rayman 1.

==[[Rayman 1]]==
===[[Allegro Presto]]===
===[[Allegro Presto]]===
He is first encountered in [[Allegro Presto]]. At the end of this level, [[Rayman]] finds that the vicious [[wrong note]]s which have been plaguing him throughout Band Land are coming from Mr Sax. When the two first meet, Mr Sax blows another wrong note at Rayman, then turns and flees. The two confront each other again in [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], where the boss chases Rayman through a pathway of clouds, and Rayman finds that he can hurt Mr Sax and slow him down by punching his wrong notes back at him. Rayman uses this to his advantage in the following battle, defeating Mr Sax once and for all. When beaten, he reforms and begins to dance, like most of the game's bosses.

===[[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]]===
The two confront each other again in [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], where the boss starts blowing [[wrong note]]s again, which can be punched back to hurt him. Then, he starts chasing [[Rayman]], who can also punch the static [[wrong note]]s that stand in his way. This way, he can take take away up to 9 of his 12 [[Resistance|life points]], making the final battle much easier.

===[[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]]===
Mr Sax's main attacks consist in blowing wrong notes of different kinds at [[Rayman]]. The first type looks exactly like sliding [[wrong note]]s, except that one hit is enough to throw them back to the sender. He can blow three of them at a time.

They can also be found on Rayman's way when he is pursued by Mr Sax: in this case, they float in the air, and punching them will send them at him.

The second type of wrong note are round notes which explode in the air and free eight tiny invincible wrong notes in the shape of the first type. Mr Sax can blow two of them at the same time, making it much harder to dodge the tiny notes.

Mr Sax's attacks also include stomping on Rayman, though he is quite easy to dodge. Once beaten, he starts dancing, and appears to be no longer hostile.
