In Rayman

Allegro Presto

In the original Rayman game, Mr Sax is first encountered in Allegro Presto. At the end of this level, Rayman finds that the vicious wrong notes which have been plaguing him throughout Band Land seem to come from Mr Sax. When the two first meet, Mr Sax blows another wrong note at Rayman, then turns and flees.

Mr Sax's Hullaballoo

The two confront each other again in the second part of Mr Sax's Hullaballoo, where the boss starts blowing wrong notes again, which can be punched back to hurt him. Then, he starts chasing Rayman, who can also punch the static wrong notes that stand in his way. This way, it is possible to take away as much as all 12 of his life points, making the final battle much easier or even skipping it altogether.

In Rayman Ultimate, the port of the original Rayman game for the Pocket PC, all bosses have reduced health, with only 5 HP instead of 12 for Mr Sax. This makes it possible to underflow his health during the chase, meaning up to 255 hits are required in the final battle.

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