Mr Dark: Difference between revisions

Line 134:

* ''Battle for the [[Great Protoon]]'' sounds very similar to {{rw|Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Jaguar version}} of Mr Dark's theme, being a more triumphant and somber rendition of it. This is the most positively received music in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' alongside ''[[The Dark Chimera]]'', both having by far the most views and likes on YouTube.

* ''Corrupted [[Great Protoon|Protoon]]'' shares a few similarities to Mr Dark's theme in {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''}}, but is otherwise a fully original track.

* 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.

* Mr Dark's final forms in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' are inspired by some final bosses from the Kirby franchise, namely Nightmare.
