'''True Boss Rush''' is the last of the [[Magician's Challenges]] in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. It requires to beat [[~~The~~ End of the World]] and to own 40 [[Magician token]]s to unlock, the last of which is only granted upon completion of the penultimate challenge - [[Boss Rush]].

'''True Boss Rush''' is the last of the [[Magician's Challenges]] in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. It requires to beat [[the End of the World]] and to own 40 [[Magician token]]s to unlock, the last of which is only granted upon completion of the penultimate challenge - [[Boss Rush]].

In this challenge, [[Rayman]] must defeat all 21 of the main bosses and sub-bosses of the game, as well as [[Mr_Dark#As_Darkest_Mr_Dark|a secret boss]] acting as a second phase to [[Mr_Dark#As_Darker_Mr_Dark|Darker Mr Dark]]. The challenge must be completed on a single life, without dying, and the player is given only a single [[Super power]] and two [[Power|Big power]]s, to replenish [[Rayman]]'s health and power-up his [[Telescopic Fist|fist]] between fights.

All bosses have been recolored to look different, and have had their attack patterns modified to make them significantly harder. This, together with more than doubling the number of battles, makes '''True Boss Rush''' a far more difficult challenge than [[Boss Rush]].

Some battles aren't fought in the same order as throughout the main adventure, such as [[Bzzit]] being fought before the first [[Darktoon]] or [[Mr Sax]] being fought before the [[~~Mad~~ drummer]]. A third form of [[Mr Dark]] and additional 22th boss, [[Mr_Dark#As_Darkest_Mr_Dark|Darkest Mr Dark]], must be defeated as well to complete the challenge. Succeeding will reward [[Rayman]] with the {{rw|Rayman (cancelled prototype)|SNES}} [[skin]] and the [[Achievement (Rayman Redemption)|True Hero achievement]].

==Trivia==

* Some bosses are fought in a different order, such as [[Bzzit]] before the first [[Darktoon]] fight, and [[Mr Sax]] before the [[Mad drummer]].

* [[Bzzit]] takes the appearance of the [[Skin|Beeskito skin]].

* [[Darktoon]]'s appearance is most likely inspired by the [[Antitoon|red Antitoons]] from ''{{rw|Rayman Designer}}'' who also appeared in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', while his purple cape might be a reference to [[Mr Dark]]'s appearance in {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 1''}}.

* The [[Tentacle flower]]'s colors are probably a reference to the green skin of the [[Livingstone]]s, who are spat by the boss.

* The [[Tentacle flower]]'s colors are probably a reference to the green skin of the [[Livingstone]]s, who are spat by the boss. It could also be a nod to the [[tentacle]]s and [[Mr Smushy]] in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', as the [[tentacle]]s used repurposed textures from the {{rw|flower tentacle}}.

* [[Moskito]] takes the same appearance as the [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] [[skin]] and boss featured in the [[Dark Rayman]] fight. [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] doesn't change his appearance in that battle, however.

* [[Mr Sax]] and the [[~~Mad~~ drummer]]'s colors are probably a reference to the [[~~Wrong~~ note]]s, which [[Mr Sax]] uses to attack. It also resembles some aesthetics from {{rr|Band Land}}.

* [[Mr Sax]] and the [[mad drummer]]'s colors are probably a reference to the [[wrong note]]s, which [[Mr Sax]] uses to attack. It also resembles some aesthetics from {{rr|Band Land}}.

* [[Mr Stone]]'s appearance is a reference to the [[Magma Man|Magma Men]] from {{rr|The Caves of Skops}}, even sharing their pound flame attack.

* [[Space Mama]]'s appearance in her [[Space Mama#Eraser Plains|Viking suit]] seem more similar to a pirate's outfit, which is further reinforced by her file names being "Piratemama".
