Mr. Skops is back and he hasn't slept for over a week. You need to escape his perilous caves before it's too late!—Level description, Rayman ReDesigner
Revenge of Mr. Skops is a default level bundled with Rayman ReDesigner, thus created by Ryemanni, and taking place in the Caves of Skops. It can be considered the intended third level. This stage involves escaping from Mr Skops, who takes for the first time the role of a chaser, unlike his roles in the original Rayman or Rayman Redemption. It contains three parts, all of them featuring Mr Skops as the main obstacle.
Part 1
In this horizontal first part, Rayman must run from Mr Skops and find ways to get around him whenever he gets cornered.
Part 2
The second section is vertical and features rising lava. Rayman must make his way to the top while avoiding Mr Skops's traps and attacks whenever he shows up.
Part 3
The third part takes the form of an improvised boss battle taking place on a wooden bridge above lava. Rayman must dodge Mr Skops's attacks and other hazards such as lava rocks and lightning eyes, while collecting the colored Tings which allow him to progress the fight. Once he grabs the grey Ting, a cloud will appear and bring him to the exit sign in the air, ending the level.
Trivia
- Rayman ReDesigner's bundled levels can be considered as examples of what can be achieved through the game's editor. Revenge of Mr. Skops showcases the chaser mechanics, also showing players how to create a stage around them and how to simulate a boss battle.
- It is the only default stage featuring an actual boss. While Mr Dark and Dark Rayman appear in Curse Chaos, both of them are considered obstacles instead of enemies in this game, as they're only curses meant to hinder's Rayman's progress.
- Strangely, the ceilling in the second part is far too high and does not contain anything, not even being decorative tiles. This could suggest its initial height was accidentally overshot while designing the stage.
- As the other default bundled levels, Revenge of Mr. Skops was last updated in version 1.2.2, and thus lacks many features and improvements implemented in future updates. As a result, playing the stage in the most recent releases results in a warning message, with the music starters playing a Band Land theme instead of the chase drum track, and the final part having possible unintended behaviors due to the colored Tings.
