			==In ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''==

	'''Mr Sax''' is a gigantic, malevolent saxophone, and the second main boss in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. He is the ruler of {{rr\|Band Land}}, a surreal country composed mainly of music and musical instruments. He is first encountered at the end of {{rr\|Allegro Presto}}, where he urges [[Rayman]] to leave his domain. After [[Rayman]] seemingly refuses, Mr Sax blows a couple of [[wrong note]]s at him, then turns and flees.

	The final mode of attack from Mr Sax includes stomping on [[Rayman]]. To protect from it [[Rayman]] must move or run away from the spot where the saxophone will be landing, and avoid being in the middle of his walk path. To defeat Mr Sax, a total of 12 [[wrong note]]s must be punched into him, between the chase and the battle sequence.		The final mode of attack from Mr Sax includes stomping on [[Rayman]].

	==Achievements==		Mr Sax subsequently appears in {{rr\|Mr Dark's Dare}}, some of his body parts being used for the two final forms of [[the Dark Chimera]]. He can optionally be fought again in the [[Boss Rush]] and the [[True Boss Rush]], both as himself and as parts of [[the Dark Chimera]], gaining a purple color scheme and some stronger attacks in the latter challenge.

			Mr Sax's fate is revealed in the ending, where he's seen conducting a band of various characters in {{rr\|Band Land}}, including singing [[wrong note\|notes]], a [[Moth]] playing [[drum]]s, and a [[Trumpet]]. Two [[Electoon]]s are present at the scene, which is located in a place similar to {{rr\|Gong Heights}}.

			==In ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]''==
			Mr Sax returns to ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' as an invincible chaser, being only vulnerable to killdoor mechanisms and falling off the stage.
			Through the level editor, the player can place as many instances of Mr Sax in a level as they like, and give him different behaviors by placing chaser triggers. Mr Sax can thus react to them accordingly by turning, jumping, stopping, or by attacking.

			Mr Sax's attack shoots a single [[wrong note]], which can uniquely be successfully thrown back at him. Despite reacting to the damage as if he was hurt, Mr Sax remains indestructible, although hurting him can be used to slow him down as his walk is very briefly interrupted when hit by his [[wrong note]].
			Eliminating Mr Sax through a fall or a killdoor will not remove his remaining wrong notes from the level.

			Like other chasers, Mr Sax only starts moving once he spots the player, which occurs whenever [[Rayman]] is about six and fourteen tiles away in front of him.
			Just as the other chasers, any physical contact with Mr Sax will result in [[Rayman]] being pushed away, even under the effects of the [[Great Protoon\|Invincibility]] power-up.
			Mr Sax will turn back on his own if he meets any solid tile on his path, and will fall from any platform's edge even if there are no special tiles that can be passed through at their ledge, including the map's borders if they aren't blocked by solid collisions. A gap must be at least five tiles wide to let Mr Sax pass through it, but four are enough to trigger his jumping animation which results in Mr Sax's stomping effect, no matter the height of his "fall".

			The [[Wrong note\|bad note]]s and his bombs are available as separate enemies and obstacles respectively, including the mini [[wrong note]]s, albeit the enemy version of the latter only move on the ground like their bigger counterparts. His boss theme can also be selected as a level's music, including from the music starter object since version 1.4.0.

	==Trivia==		==Trivia==
	* The attack involving a rapid stream of small [[wrong note]]s is new to ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', and did not appear in ''{{rw\|Rayman 1}}''.		* The attack involving a rapid stream of small [[wrong note]]s is new to ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', and did not appear in ''{{rw\|Rayman 1}}''.
	* Once beaten, Mr Sax simply falls to the ground. Unlike in ''{{rw\|Rayman 1}}'', he does not perform a dance.		* Once beaten, Mr Sax simply falls to the ground. Unlike in ''{{rw\|Rayman 1}}'', he does not perform a dance.
			* Unlike every version of {{rw\|Rayman 1\|the original game}}, Mr Sax's defeat is mandatory to progress as it unlocks [[The Lonely Cliff]]. It was originally possible to exit {{rw\|Mr Sax's Hullaballoo}} once {{rw\|Rayman}} had broken all the {{rw\|cages}} required to unlock {{rw\|Mr Dark's Dare}}, thus making ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' the only version of ''{{rw\|Rayman 1}}'' where exiting [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo (Rayman Redemption)\|the level]] cannot be exploited.
			* Mr Sax is the only chasing boss in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' who can react to damage, despite having infinite health. This makes him similar to [[Space Mama]] who voices a reaction whenever [[Rayman]] hits her in vain, and to the invincible [[Toybot]] and [[Megatoon]] enemies who quickly recoil whenever attacked by [[Rayman]].
			* In ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', if an immobile Mr Sax is hit from behind by a wrong note, he'll start his walking animation without moving. This strange behavior can also be triggered automatically when Mr Sax is standing on any chaser mechanism except the stopping one, and if he hasn't started chasing [[Rayman]] yet. Mr Sax will only actually move if he spots [[Rayman]], although he remained stuck in versions prior to update 0.1.4.
			* Prior to version 0.1.4 in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', Mr Sax and the other chasers didn't push back [[Rayman]] as hard whenever he touched them, which could result in getting stuck inside them.
			* In version 1.4.0 of ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', Mr Sax's wrong notes caused the game to crash whenever thrown back at him. This was quickly addressed in version 1.4.1.
