The '''Kagoubinôme''' was a variety of [[Hoodlum]] which was initially planned to appear as an enemy in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', but was cut from the final version of the game. The Kagoubinôme was in fact composed of two completely different, but complementary, [[Hoodlum]]s. One [[Hoodlum]] would have been small and thin, and the other [[Hoodlum]] would have been tall and fat. The Kagoubinôme couple could carry out two distinct attacks, playing on the size and shape of the [[Hoodlum]]s who make up his two-person character. At long distance, the smaller of the two perches on the fatter one, who starts rolling around like a ball. The small one – looking like a circus tightrope walker – steers him along, attempting to crush [[Rayman]]. Later on, in close combat, the large [[Hoodlum]] would attack [[Rayman]], using the small [[Hoodlum]] as a nunchaku. | |||
