In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color release of ''Rayman'']], Mr Dark has imprisoned the [[Electoon|Toons]] and uses their power for himself, throwing the world into darkness and chaos. Unlike [[Rayman 1|the original]], he does not transform himself when he engages in a final boss battle with [[Rayman]]. In between each level he can also be seen watching [[Rayman]] ~~though~~ a crystal ball.

In [[Arcane Forest]], he casts two spells on [[Rayman]], the first one summoning [[Bad Rayman]], and the second one reversing [[Rayman]]'s controls.

In a May 2011 interview with Jeux Vidéo, Gabrielle Shrager, the lead writer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', stated "We will probably see how Mr Dark became what he is".<ref>Jeux Vidéo, ''Exclusif Rayman Origins'', [[:File:Jeux_video_page_47.jpg]]</ref> However, plans changed during development, and the Mr Dark storyline was omitted. While Mr Dark makes no physical appearance in the game, his influence plays a major role in the story, and numerous references are made to him by the game and its surrounding media. The second trailer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' shows a brief glimpse of a [[Teensie]] with a top hat and a dark cloak, standing on a stone platform, surrounded by [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] and [[Psychlops]]. It was speculated that this was Mr Dark. Several months later, clearer artwork of the character was released, and the official website indicated that this character was indeed Mr Dark, stating "The archenemy from ''[[Rayman 1]]'' returns". However, the same section of the site also claims that [[soldier]]s and [[piranha]]s are in the game, which is not correct; the game's final manual contains an updated version of the same information, and makes no mention of [[Soldier]]s, [[piranha]]s, or Mr Dark. In [[the Reveal]], one of the final levels of the game, the heroes discover that [[the Magician]] is the one responsible for the evil steampunk empire of the [[Moody Clouds]]. The dark character who appeared in the trailer and the site was simply [[the Magician]] disguised as Mr Dark~~, whose true whereabouts remain unknown~~. A diagram on the wall of [[the Magician]]'s office explains that he has been collecting the heroes' [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] throughout the game and using them to power his machines. In response to his cover being blown, [[the Magician]] rips the golden star off his top hat, showing more clearly his resemblance with the artwork supposedly of Mr Dark. This scene led to much confusion among players, some of whom mistakenly interpreted it to mean that Mr Dark and [[the Magician]] were the same character.
