Mr Dark: Difference between revisions

| species = Unknown

| alignment = Bad

| resistance = [[File:Lifebar6.png|6 HP]] (''[[Rayman Redemption]]'')

* Purple (laser): Darker Mr Dark will unleash some powerful beams below himself, moving above [[Rayman]]'s position between each of them to strike him.

* Yellow (projectiles): A rain of Mr Dark's yellow projectiles unleashed far quicker than in his original form, forcing [[Rayman]] to dodge all of them at the same time.

* Sky blue (thunderbolt): Darker Mr Dark will unleash lightning bolts electrifying the whole ground just as he did before, although he can do so repetitively near the end of the fight.

* Red (walls): Darker Mr Dark will create spiky walls of energy repetitively, quickly moving in [[Rayman]]'s direction and vanishing near the edge of the platform, forcing him to run to the other side as quickly as possible.

Mr Dark returns in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' as he appeared in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', although he's only available as an obstacle object with six distinct variations, throwing an evil spell at [[Rayman]] before leaving the stage by flying upwards in his spheric form. Due to the way ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' works, more than one Mr Dark can exist at the same time.

* Reverse controls: Inverts [[Rayman]]'s controls, with left becoming right and right becoming left.

* Forced [[Running|run]]: Forces [[Rayman]] to [[Running|run]], preventing him from even using his [[telescopic fist]] or [[helicopter]]. The direction in which Mr Dark is facing will change the direction of the forced [[Running|run]].

* Disable [[Telescopic fist|fist]]: Takes away [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist|hands]], preventing him from using any powers involving them, which includes the ability to [[Hanging|hang on to platforms]]. However, [[Rayman]] can still climb just fine, his feet being enough to do so.

* Disable [[Helicopter|heli]]: Disables [[Rayman]]'s [[helicopter]] ability.

* [[Dark Rayman]]: Summons [[Dark Rayman]] to chase [[Rayman]], replicating all of his movements and defeating him instantly on contact just he did as in [[Rayman Redemption]]. If [[Rayman]] is riding [[Bzzit]] or the [[Dinosaur]], [[Dark Rayman]] will follow him by riding [[Moskito|Dark Moskito]] or a dark version of [[Dinosaur|the robot dinosaur]]. If [[Rayman]] is using the [[Dark Rayman]] [[skin]], the actual [[Dark Rayman]] will switch to the [[Dark Rayman|GBC Dark Rayman]] appearance. In versions prior to 1.0.1, this was instead triggered by wearing the [[Rayman|SNES Rayman]] [[skin]] due to a mistake. The [[Great Protoon|invincibility power-up]] can protect [[Rayman]] from [[Dark Rayman]] as long as it is in effect.

==Trivia==

* Mr Dark gains three new music themes in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' and ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', while retaining his original music from ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'' which is used for his first battle in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. They are named '''''Mr Dark's Domain''''', '''''Battle for the [[Great Protoon]]''''', and '''''Corrupted [[Great Protoon|Protoon]]''''', used for his new castle plus the corrupted world map, his [[Mr_Dark#As_Darker_Mr_Dark|Darker Mr Dark form]] and his [[Mr_Dark#As_Darkest_Mr_Dark|Darkest Mr Dark form]] respectively.

* ''Mr Dark's Domain'' sounds very similar to Mr Dark's original theme, albeit slower and more atmospheric.

* When playing in 16:9 aspect ratio, two dark stone walls will frame Mr Dark's fighting area in {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}. As most returning bosses, this was done in order to not stretch the original background art and to keep gameplay the same between 4:3 and widescreen formats.

* Mr Dark's final battles and transformations in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' are reminiscent of the [[Dark Storm]] from ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', as both are beings embodying "great darkness" and are ultimately fought in the skies of [[The Valley|the Valley]], and both have corrupted the [[Great Protoon]] in some way. Before vanishing after his defeat, Mr Dark claims that he will always come back as long as there is darkness in the world, which could be interpreted as the unexplained [[Dark Storm]] being a future reincarnation of him or a related entity.

* Concept arts for Darkest Mr Dark depicts the transformation with different features, such as a unique giant eye merged with the [[Great Protoon]], or giant floating hands with clawy fingers.
