==Moving notes==
Moving '''notes''' are invincible enemies that appear in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' and ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. They slide on musical staves, patrolling on a certain area and regularly opening their mouth. Even though they can't be beaten, their small size and their basic behaviour makes them quite easy to dodge, provided [[Rayman]] isn't sliding too quickly, so that he doesn't get surprised.

Even though they cannot be beaten, their small size and their basic behaviour makes them quite easy to dodge, provided [[Rayman]] is sliding at a slow enough pace, so as not to get surprised by them.


In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', there are two types of notes, simply titled '''Note 1''' and '''Note 2'''. The only difference between them is how they react to types on the map.

==[[Mr Sax]]'s notes==
[[Mr Sax]]'s main attacks consist in blowing notes of different kinds at [[Rayman]].
[[Mr Sax]]'s various attacks consist in blowing notes of different types at [[Rayman]].


The first type looks exactly like moving notes, except that one [[telescopic fist|hit]] is enough to throw them back to the sender. He can even 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 [[Telescopic fist|punching]] them will send them at him.

The second type 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 outgoing tiny notes and prevent them dealing damage to [[Rayman]].
Notes of the second type, called '''fragmentation notes''', are round notes which explode in the air and free eight tiny invincible wrong notes, looking similar in appearance to notes of the first type, which then spread outwards. [[Mr Sax]] can blow up to three of them at the same time, making it much harder to dodge the tiny notes.


Just as the regular notes correspond to quavers, this variety corresponds to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_note ''whole note''] or semibreve (as it bursts into 8 eighth notes).

The third type, called '''explosive notes''', follow a curved trajectory and explode on the ground. They are the same shape as the second type.

'''Coloured notes''' are found throughout [[Band Land]] in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' and ''[[Rayman Designer]]''. They can't move and all [[Rayman]] can do is avoid them. They are much larger than the other types, except for the tiny ones that can be found in ''[[Rayman Junior]]''.
