When Moskito is first encountered, he chases Rayman with a giant spiky fruit. During the battle, he attacks Rayman by trying to poke him with his nose and uses spiky berries of varying sizes to attack with. With a precise timing, it is possible to hit him twice per turn, before he starts flying up after the first hit.
In the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Atari Jaguar versions, Moskito has different colours; instead of being mostly purple with white gloves, and a yellow nose, shoes and stripes, he appears a more reddish purple colour, is a dark purple where he used to be yellow, and his gloves are changed to a brighter purple. Also, his wings change to red. Another difference is that the berries he uses are different colours instead of all being the same colour. Whilst Rayman is getting chased by Moskito with the giant spiky fruit when he is first encountered, and in the battle against Mr Dark, when the latter transforms into a hybrid of Moskito, Mr Sax and Space Mama, his colours are the same as in the PC version.
