—Bzzit, Rayman Redemption

Bzzit is a character who appears in a number of games in the Rayman Redemption. He is a giant mosquito, but he is much weaker than his counterpart, Moskito. Similarly to most of the game's characters, Bzzit has no connecting appendages - his head, gloved hands, wings and round feet float independently from the rest of his body. Like all mosquitoes, Bzzit has large round eyes and proboscis, while also having two golden stripes on his purple body. His proboscis and feet and also golden.

Rayman first encouters Bzzit in Anguish Lagoon. He is the first mini-boss, and once he is defeated by Rayman, he collapses and starts sobbing. Rayman stops his victory dance to comfort him, and they soon become friends fast, Bzzit helping him cross the rest of the lagoon by offering a ride on his back. Having established their friendship, Bzzit helps Rayman across several other locations throughout the rest of the game, including parts of the Final Showdown.

As a boss, Bzzit is always airborne. He attacks by swooping horizontally at Rayman, sometimes at his head level (where Rayman can hit him head on) or near the ground (he can hit him by throwing his fist and then ducking immediately), and by stinging him with his proboscis. He also tries to dodge Rayman's attacks using his small wings, and every time he is hit, he flies high in the air and out of view for a brief moment before attacking. Bzzit also has a new attack in Rayman Redemption, which he did not use in the original game - while hovering in the air above the arena, he moves from side to side and launches energy projectiles down at Rayman.

After befriending Rayman, while carrying him on his back, Bzzit has the ability to shoot energy projectiles straight forward in the direction of their flight path. This attack replaces Rayman's normal punch in these situations, like in the Atari Jaguar version of Rayman 1. Upgrades may be found in the levels, increasing the speed of Bzzit's projectiles. Additionally, in some of the flight levels, it is possible to find extra skins which alter Bzzit's appearance.

Achievements

• Defeating Bzzit grants the Friends 4 Ever achievement.

Trivia

• In the Gameplay Demo of Rayman Redemption, Bzzit couldn't be hit while performing a swooping attack which made the battle much longer. The arena also wasn't as wide due to Rayman Redemption originally not being intended for widescreen format.
• Bzzit's dialogue was different in the Gameplay Demo, being as such: "Hey you! Stay out of here! This is my home and I don't want any bad guys here. I'll make you leave by force!". He also talked to Rayman instead of crying after the battle: "So you're not one of Mr. Dark's allies? You should have said something before I rushed at you! Alright, hop on my back. I'll help you fly accross the lagoon." This was mostly likely changed to be more faithful to the original emotional moment between the two characters which highlighted Rayman's good nature.
