This video demonstrates how to defeat Mr. Dark - the ruler of Candy Chateau and the final boss of the game. [This is the PC version] [Thanks to DOSBox team for creating the 8th wonder]
I wish there was an option to retrieve to redemption the gradual progression of powers with Batilla and some of the older designs (like the original prefight with Mr. Scops) because I preferred some of those and the original difficulty (with some of the changes of redemption of course) but with the final boss fight of redemption.
@@dandycrow2821 Because in the original you can't fight Mr. Dark, instead fight hybrids of the previous bosses. And unlike Redemption the Protoon is not in-game.
Imagine having to get every single collectible in one of the hardest 2D platformers there are just to beat the game- but you don't even fight the main antagonist.
I can't help but feel as though there would have been another part after you beat the Frankenstein'd bosses, but the devs ran out of time, resources, money, etc. and decided to just leave the boss as is.
Yes, that's a reasonable scenario. But as I commented here earlier, a similar pattern happens in Rayman 2 as well, as if not terminating the main villain was some soft of a principle.
Neo Raptor rayman was created by the fairys through magic. though that was in origins so wather or not its cannon to the original rayman game is questionable i guess
***** Believe it or not, you're right. Rayman 2 was suppose to be a direct sequel to this game, but it was re-developed into the 3D game. The PS1 version of Rayman 2 had a secret where if you beat the game 100%, you unlock a beta demo of the original Rayman 2. Search "Rayman 2 beta" on UA-cam.
I always thought that the fact that Mr. Dark runs away without taking any damage was kinda cool, of course I wanted to beat his ass into oblivion, but maybe it symbolizes how he was always one step ahead of Rayman, of course, he could be shapeshifting into those mixed bosses but that its up in the air.
Kirby the Atari version implies it's Mr. Dark, halfway through the fight with the first monster, he sweats an goes off screen then the last monster shows up, Sharing the health bar
it scared me when i was little when i couldn't get the power up cause he kept yanking the rope. now i laugh every time i see this scene. dark is such a troll lol
Evil Kitsune lol I didn't expect that either when I was younger when I saw this I freaked out now I just look back and laugh it's funny how I was scared but the frankienstein MASQUITO space mamma and mr sax is my favorite part of this fight it has always been my favorite
@@kylestubbs8867 i think it was so the player wouldn't get the power up straight away. Which would seem weird by todays video game standards, but bosses back then did some pretty zany stuff. They might still but i don't play as many games as i used to so i don't know for sure.
Sid Walker This game needs to get a reboot and make you actually fight mister dark not those other frustrating bosses mister dark was a really cool antagonist but that final boss fight spoiled it big time for me I wanted to fight mister dark they hyped him so much in the game for no reason😞
@@kylestubbs8867 yup, but it has a lot of thing added that it wasn't on the original game like: new levels, new power ups, new bosess you know everything of a remaster
Rayman Redemption fixed this Boss Battle. I wished they kept the part where Mr Dark steals Rayman’s Fist and then traps him with fire walls with no way out and then a pair of Electoons rescues Rayman by giving him his Fist back and then a cutscene takes place where Mr. Dark is angry that Rayman got his Fist back and sends his minions to destroy Rayman and Rayman defeats them and then another cutscene takes place where Mr Dark is even more angry and he decides to Fight Rayman himself and then Rayman defeats him and then Rayman gets ready to fight Mr. Dark again in The Final Showdown 👍
They didn't bring him back though, earlier in development, the game was a prequel and he was the main villain. When the game changed to a full retail sequel he was replaced "SPOILER" by the magician.
It was because of technology limitations - i mean, it came out in 1995. No character could have limbs, apparently. When they made it 3D, they could finally have limbs, but because Rayman's look had already been established, they kept him limbless.
I think what the creators wanted to do is that mr dark would become the transformations of the mixed version bosses, since he might not face rayman's golden fist after the electoons gave it to him, so he decided to become all the bosses of the game but mixed, this may make more sense in the sega version where all the crystals break maybe meaning that we have defeated mr dark
Not exactly. What happened there is that those fire-columns cannot be passed whatsoever, so they will hit you even when you are supposed to be invulnerable (right after been hit). That fire waves hit me first, and the blow threw me back to the fire column, that hit me again with an unavoidable damage. An easier method (I was trying to avoid any damage) would be to deliberately get hit by the column just right before the wave is coming at you. Thus you'll be getting only 1 damage instead of two.
Thank God I didn't put myself through beating this game as a kid, to go through one of the hardest ps1 Platformers only to get a PNG as an ending, lol.
I just want to think mr dark jumped on the air and used the power of the great protoon to shapeshift in those fusions and when he becomes space mama and bzzit fusion he just multiplies into two.
@supermancrashin But the main Villain, Andre the Black Lum escapes as well. Well, he's turned into a Red Luma again, but something scares him and he returns right when the game ends. So....
Not only space mama and moskito. Mr Sax is also Part of it... :) I think in the PS-Version of it you can see which bosses are part of which phase since the windows lighten up on the beginning of each phase...
It's lame how Mr.Dark just escapes and that's it. Ubisoft really should take this opportunity to make a sequal of their BEST Rayman game where you confront Mr.Dark once and for all!
this is not what happens. Ive seen another video but i dont remember the link. Mr dark flys up in the air and shoots more things at you and fill the whole screen with those lazer things. It looked extremely difficult.
@RadioactiveG Lol, Funny, the only main Boss to actually return once was Razorbeard, but it was for the party game Rayman M/Rayman Arena... But that really doesn't count as a main villain role.
We think some versions say that he actually transforms into the hybrid bosses, still very anticlimactic, but at you actually fight him somewhat with that idea
@supermancrashin Yeah, that's it, they make Shadow Puppets now that I recall. lol, haven't played the game in a while, but Yeah, after they scare him, Andre comes back (Since Globox asked what makes a Black Lum and Rayman Replies it has to be scared, Andre's Red Lum form happens to be the one that gets scared.) And, the fact there hasn't been a Rayman 4 yet, there's a chance he may not return either.
@supermancrashin LOL, well i did say I haven't played in a while (Actually gave my copy away, and regret it now.) But while I haven't played Hoodlum Revenge, I would guess so, despite I don't think that was a console game, as many know, Console games are usually the main games for series, usually, But yeah, hah, thanks for the correction there!

![Rayman Redemption - All Bosses [No Damage]](/img/tr.png)
Rayman Redemption turned one of the most anticlimactic final boss fights in a video game into one of the coolest I've ever seen.
I wish there was an option to retrieve to redemption the gradual progression of powers with Batilla and some of the older designs (like the original prefight with Mr. Scops) because I preferred some of those and the original difficulty (with some of the changes of redemption of course) but with the final boss fight of redemption.
Why anticlimactic?
@@dandycrow2821 Because in the original you can't fight Mr. Dark, instead fight hybrids of the previous bosses. And unlike Redemption the Protoon is not in-game.
@@TapeYTP Those are Mr. Dark transformations!
Ubisoft, this is not how you final boss for the most frustrating game of my childhood
I felt the same . this qame qave me annerisms, head aches, heart attacks, ,and a wet pillow of tears . lol
@@martricehenderson6840 you deserve a sub
Easier than the other 5 bosses.
Please see “Rayman Redemption” for a proper guide on that.
Imagine having to get every single collectible in one of the hardest 2D platformers there are just to beat the game- but you don't even fight the main antagonist.
They get it right in “Rayman REDEMPTION”, at least.
Oh wait a minute....
i love how in this game rayman was always smiling and didnt give a fuck about anything
That’s why he’s the GOAT😢❤
Not even realising Mr Dark was toying with him.
I can't help but feel as though there would have been another part after you beat the Frankenstein'd bosses, but the devs ran out of time, resources, money, etc. and decided to just leave the boss as is.
Yes, that's a reasonable scenario. But as I commented here earlier, a similar pattern happens in Rayman 2 as well, as if not terminating the main villain was some soft of a principle.
I think mr dark is ray mans father because he doesn't have limbs either :p

Hey man, there Is Rayman Redenption, you must try It, Mr Dark have TWO very cool boss fights.
@@celestialodysseies
I hope we get to see more of Mr Dark in The Rayman Series especially in Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc style animation.
I really hope that Mr Dark comes back for the next Rayman game he was my favourite game villain when i was a kid :D
too bad he officially died in this game
I heard that the robot pirates killed him.
He didn't officially die guys he ran off, plus he's in a couple other games, even though those ones are learning games, he's in them.
Dumuzi Jesus Those were before rayman 2.
Moe Sabally Really? The dialouge on those games said he returned. The pirates didn't do shit, that is all fan theories.
Hard as hell game leading up to.. an extremely anticlimactic boss. Wish we atleast got to fight Mr. dark himself at the end like in the intro phase
Is it wrong that I find his music awesome yet somehow sad and dramatic at the same time?
it scared me when i was little when i couldn't get the power up cause he kept yanking the rope. now i laugh every time i see this scene. dark is such a troll lol
Evil Kitsune lol I didn't expect that either when I was younger when I saw this I freaked out now I just look back and laugh it's funny how I was scared but the frankienstein MASQUITO space mamma and mr sax is my favorite part of this fight it has always been my favorite
:) i think we cheated though because we had gameshark at one point in time. lol
What was with the rope anyway? Could you explain?
@@kylestubbs8867 i think it was so the player wouldn't get the power up straight away. Which would seem weird by todays video game standards, but bosses back then did some pretty zany stuff. They might still but i don't play as many games as i used to so i don't know for sure.
Such a disappointment, I wanted to fight Mr Dark, not his minions :(
I still wish we fought him face to face
it's not he jumps in the air and the minions come from the side plus the rayman wiki says he sends his minions
Sid Walker This game needs to get a reboot and make you actually fight mister dark not those other frustrating bosses mister dark was a really cool antagonist but that final boss fight spoiled it big time for me I wanted to fight mister dark they hyped him so much in the game for no reason😞

ua-cam.com/video/hS2wiN163M4/v-deo.html
Boy, do I have news for y'all
The idea is that Mr. Dark is a shape shifter. So when you fight the boss mash-ups you are actually fighting him transformed.
We need Mr Dark returning in The Rayman Videogame Series and especially Dark Rayman too and Mr Dark is one of my favorite Rayman Villains.
Without doubt the best boss theme ever made. Such a shame the battle with Mr. Dark was an anti climax to an otherwise brilliant game.
See rayman redemption
The bosses in this game look absolutely hilarious.
i loved the way rayman always smiled in boss battles lol
Is this guy what phantom meant in the mario + rabbids sparks of hope dlc ?
this game will never be forgotten, they even made a dsi verson not long ago XD
Tfw the video is titled rayman vs mr dark but he’s only in the fight for literally like 20 or 30 seconds and you only fight his minions.
11 years later we got a real mr. Dark fight thanks to ryemanni
So… Rayman REDEMPTION was just a fangame?
@@kylestubbs8867 yup, but it has a lot of thing added that it wasn't on the original game like: new levels, new power ups, new bosess you know everything of a remaster

my favorite thing with this game: the boss fights were unique
The music makes me cry
It did felt short though... But still, i admire this snapshot of rayman's youth wayyyy back in the day!
Okay but this makes it look so easy. Caddicarus would be proud.
this is like a movie I'm eating pizza and brownies while watching
For those of you who are dissapointed of Mr Dark.... just play Rayman Redemption, you won't be dissapointed
You never even get to whoop Mr Darks ass.
They didn't bring him back though, earlier in development, the game was a prequel and he was the main villain. When the game changed to a full retail sequel he was replaced "SPOILER" by the magician.
Great Final Fight in All Time Game History.
Nah, try Rayman Redemption
Anyone else agreeing Mr Dark should make a return, seeing as we actually don't get to ever actually beat him?
Rayman Redenption
All of them, when Mr. Dark flew towards the sky he simply shape-shifted into the monsters which Rayman fights afterwards.
You know what’s messed up?,mr,dark mixed the previous bosses’ bodies (the mosquito one looks very cursed to me)
Are you 5 years old?!
Were talking about Rayman 1, OUR childhood game of the 90's
You're doomed, Rayman...
Rayman is so calm, he's like wayne and garth combined
In the PC version where all the sounds are lower pitched than in the PSX it Mr Sax's honking noise sounds like farting. XD
It was because of technology limitations - i mean, it came out in 1995. No character could have limbs, apparently. When they made it 3D, they could finally have limbs, but because Rayman's look had already been established, they kept him limbless.
I love how camp he is: YOU’RE DOOMED RAYMAN!
I think what the creators wanted to do is that mr dark would become the transformations of the mixed version bosses, since he might not face rayman's golden fist after the electoons gave it to him, so he decided to become all the bosses of the game but mixed, this may make more sense in the sega version where all the crystals break maybe meaning that we have defeated mr dark
Yes, mr dark shapeshifts into those monsters, their healthbars have mr darks icon.
i always thought that mr.dark was the magician
Noob Gamer The Magician is but a huge fan of Mr. Dark!
Remake this game for all consoles in HD it wil pe perfect !!! Thump Up :)
They did! You could find it on psn!
whats it called ?
+GamefortressDUTCH Rayman...
Also make it possible to finish, ffs
remake remake
I played this boss 1000 times just because of the music in the background!
lol Rayman's so chill XD
yea..they ruined. him in origins..he's to freaken hyper
M the mr dark in ORGINS was removed but was replaced by the Magican a huge fan of mr dark get your facts staright
we're not talking about MR dark or the magician, we're talking about Rayman's composure
Not exactly. What happened there is that those fire-columns cannot be passed whatsoever, so they will hit you even when you are supposed to be invulnerable (right after been hit). That fire waves hit me first, and the blow threw me back to the fire column, that hit me again with an unavoidable damage. An easier method (I was trying to avoid any damage) would be to deliberately get hit by the column just right before the wave is coming at you. Thus you'll be getting only 1 damage instead of two.
Is it just me, or do the earlier versions of Rayman seem more badass than what he is today?
In rayman redemption the final battle was upgrade
Thank God I didn't put myself through beating this game as a kid, to go through one of the hardest ps1 Platformers only to get a PNG as an ending, lol.
You can actually punch the Skops/Stone guy at the start TWICE every time he launches his claw!
God, this game was awesome.
In the Gameboy Color version you actually fight Mr. Dark, so if they made that canon that would be how he met his end.
You have some serious skills man
I just want to think mr dark jumped on the air and used the power of the great protoon to shapeshift in those fusions and when he becomes space mama and bzzit fusion he just multiplies into two.
Ahh This brings back memories!! Thumbs up if you still watch/play Rayman 1 in 2012
wow, I love this boss theme
It's awesome that Mr. Dark is back in Rayman Origins.... at least this
Try “Rayman Redemption”.
for some reason the phone version of the game has no music for the final boss
HelloMoto199314 LOL
marioguy 122
yup... it was really awkward
That sucked badly
Will someone please, PLEASE make a Rayman 4 in the style of Rayman 2 and 3, with a return of Mr. Dark.
Should've just used space mama as the final boss, she was way harder!
I found the hiding behind washing mashin while shooting to be the very hard part. The rest became easy once you knew :)
Robert Sandee That bitch was so frustrating
"That bitch was so frustrating"
Says every man ever
Mr. Dark only makes a cameo in Rayman Origins.
Indeed. He simply disappeared. He'd return, but with the other villains (aka. Razorbeard and Andre).
@supermancrashin But the main Villain, Andre the Black Lum escapes as well. Well, he's turned into a Red Luma again, but something scares him and he returns right when the game ends. So....
Wow, that was really it? I mean I know in the PSX version we had a "hooray" cutscenes, but no real ending
Rayman Redemption solves this.
I'm pretty sure they just phoned this final boss in.
At least you manage to beat him in Rayman 2!
Wait... no...
You hear a bit of it in the intro
@LightningBanks He has now returned in rayman origins!
Not only space mama and moskito. Mr Sax is also Part of it... :)
I think in the PS-Version of it you can see which bosses are part of which phase since the windows lighten up on the beginning of each phase...
doesn't that mosquito thing from 1:48 come back in rayman origins?? :)
If they make another game after Rayman Legends,they should
It's lame how Mr.Dark just escapes and that's it. Ubisoft really should take this opportunity to make a sequal of their BEST Rayman game where you confront Mr.Dark once and for all!
mr dark teaming up with razorbeard and andré.
now that could be a game
imagine 100%ing the hardest game ever made and THIS is the big final boss and conclusion
WHAT WHERE THEY THINKING
Mr. Dark is a Rayperson, just like the Magician. (Not 100% sure, but if you look at him, he has no limbs, just like Rayman).
How do you get DOSBox to record at higher resolutions? Mine can only record at 320x200.
This is why he is my idol!
Aren’t you the guy who said “You’ve done it! You’ve saved the world!” afterward?
As by with other villains, I meant as the leader of them.
this is not what happens. Ive seen another video but i dont remember the link. Mr dark flys up in the air and shoots more things at you and fill the whole screen with those lazer things. It looked extremely difficult.
I appreciate you you are a fanatic of rayman like me and rayman 2 had a horrible victory dance
@RadioactiveG Lol, Funny, the only main Boss to actually return once was Razorbeard, but it was for the party game Rayman M/Rayman Arena... But that really doesn't count as a main villain role.
1:01:mr dark escapes
We think some versions say that he actually transforms into the hybrid bosses, still very anticlimactic, but at you actually fight him somewhat with that idea
@tomazat actually he come back in this game, origins is when he first appears (?)
No he dont appears in Rayman origins, but you must to try Rayman Redemption
@supermancrashin Yeah, that's it, they make Shadow Puppets now that I recall. lol, haven't played the game in a while, but Yeah, after they scare him, Andre comes back (Since Globox asked what makes a Black Lum and Rayman Replies it has to be scared, Andre's Red Lum form happens to be the one that gets scared.) And, the fact there hasn't been a Rayman 4 yet, there's a chance he may not return either.
Cool!😎
Mr Dark has a better fight in Rayman Redemption.
Yep. It's written in the commentary... (annotations)
@Senjan Hopefully, Rayman Origins will do that
That was really sababa man, you played akhla
they should make Rayman 1 in the same art style in Rayman Origins,and you have the scrapped Propeller abilty,and a bit more levels
Mr darks theme is the only boss music in the gba version.
Yeah, the Magician is a big fan of Mr. Dark!
That _would_ explain his supposedly premature declaration of “You’ve done it! You’ve saved the world!”
@Senjan
Exactly. He just kind of runs off and that's it.
I love this game so much
Yeah,Bosses fusions!
Rayman's face is funny XD
but Mr Dark Is not dead. why he dont come back :'(
then... Mr Dark, Is the Magician?
what You think.
Mr Dark isnt the Magician, but if you complete your childhood, play Rayman Redemption
He's an optional character, but I would liket o see him as a boss fight
@supermancrashin LOL, well i did say I haven't played in a while (Actually gave my copy away, and regret it now.) But while I haven't played Hoodlum Revenge, I would guess so, despite I don't think that was a console game, as many know, Console games are usually the main games for series, usually, But yeah, hah, thanks for the correction there!
This music is so fuckin hype tho.
Optional side quest.
Mr. Dark isn't in Rayman Origins.
It's the magician that you fight!
