Space Mama is a large, blonde-haired woman who serves as a recurring boss of Picture City in Rayman Redemption. Unlike the bosses of other worlds, which are typically fought only once, with mini-boss encounters taking place between Rayman and other creatures, Space Mama is fought three times throughout Picture City. This is likely due to her profession as an actress playing different roles, using different costumes, props and supporting characters. Indeed, the battles are always set on theatre stages, and Space Mama explicitly refers to them being "plays", in which Rayman, at least from her point of view, takes on the role of the villain.

Because of her vastly different roles, she is referred to by different names: Viking Mama or Pirate Mama in the first encounter, Greek Mama or Roman Mama in the second encounter, and Space Mama in the final battle.

Welcome to the show, everyone! Today's play is called "The Ray-gold"! Can our clever crew defeat the greedy Albe-Ray? Let the show begin!

—Viking Mama, Rayman Redemption

During the first encounter (as Viking Mama), she battles Rayman on a theatre scene with a seaside décor, in a stereotypical Viking setup. Rayman must first defeat her two cabin boys, after which Viking Mama appears from the cannon of the fake Drakkar, wearing a historically inaccurate horned helmet.

Her main attack consists of throwing knives at Rayman from her rolling pin. Those knives either stick into the floor, and can be used to bounce on them and punch Space Mama in the face, before they start moving again and leave the scene, bounce on the floor directly towards the left exit of the stage, spin in the air briefly before flying in Rayman's direction, one after the other.

When Viking Mama has only one hit point left, she returns to the deck of the Drakkar, and sails it back and forth across the water, while hurling spinning knives at Rayman. Rayman must avoid the knives and throw punches at the Drakkar or at Viking Mama. After 10 hits, the Drakkar sinks, while Viking Mama flies away, indicating the end of the play.

Welcome to the show, everyone! Today's play is called "The Battle of Tray"! We are marching on the gates of Tray, but one man stands before us! Let the show begin!

—Greek Mama, Rayman Redemption

During the second encounter (as Viking Mama), she battles Rayman on a wooden horse (similar to the Trojan horse, but smaller), and holding a torch, while the horse moves repeatedly back and forth across the stage, seemingly on wheels.

During most of the fight, her lackey in hoplite armor, with a sword and a shield, struts around the stage, harming Rayman if he touches him or his sword. Whenever he is about to attack, the hoplite casts away his shield, which Rayman must punch to stop in mid-air. Standing on the shield-platform, Rayman can reach higher ground and punch Greek Mama once or twice in the face, before the shield returns to its owner.

Every time she is hurt, Greek Mama will launch a string of fireballs that Rayman must avoid as they bounce across the stage. When she has only one hit point left, she will summon a huge floating paperweight, which she attempts to drop at Rayman. At this point, the hoplite will stop trying to hit Rayman with the sword, and just walks back and forth (still able to hurt Rayman by touch). Rayman must position himself so that the paperweight, as it tries to crush him, hits the hoplite instead. After three hits, the armor breaks, and the lackey flies away, leaving his shield behind. Rayman must use it one final time to hit Greek Mama to win the battle.

Space Mama's Crater

Welcome to the show, everyone! Today's play is called "Space Wars Episode 25: Attack of the Raylien"! The brave Space Mama must eliminate the disgusting Raylien before it conquers the whole galaxy! Let the show begin!

—Space Mama, Rayman Redemption

The third and final encounter (as Space Mama) takes place on a stage with a background depicting the surface of the moon or an alien planet. Space Mama enters the stage via a flying washing machine, and will begin attacking Rayman by shooting lasers from her rolling pin. Rayman must duck or otherwise avoid the lasers, and punch her in the face until she flies away. She will then try to land on him, which he must avoid, and continue shooting lasers.

When she has five hit points left, Space Mama will start whirling across the stage, dropping pressure cookers behind her. These cookers will explode in two parts, the lid, and the pot, these parts will then be launched in opposing directions, and can damage Rayman if he comes into contact with either of them. Thus, Rayman must find an open spot that will prevent him from making contact.

After a while, Space Mama will try to land on Rayman and fire a laser one more time, before climbing into her washing machine. The washing machine will spin in the air several times, before firing a huge energy beam from its open door. Both the machine and the beam are capable of hurting Rayman, so correct positioning on the stage is crucial. When the machine stops moving, Rayman can punch it. It takes for hits to destroy the washing machine, at which point, Space Mama will alternate landing, laser and pressure cooker attacks, until Rayman depletes all her hit points.

Achievements

• Defeating Space Mama grants the End of the 3rd Act achievement.

Trivia

• The final part of the first battle with Viking Mama riding the Drakkar, and the entire second battle with Greek Mama, are new to Rayman Redemption and did not exist in.
• By taking advantage of the possibility to hit Greek Mama twice in the same jump, it is possible to completely avoid the final difficult section of the battle, with the paperweight.
• The flying washing machine segment in the final battle is different from Rayman 1, where Space Mama merely hid behind the machine, while firing alternating high and low lasers.
• Once beaten, Space Mama stays sitting on the ground with a sad face, instead of dancing to Rayman's victory tune like in the original game.
