I think what this fanmade PC port/remake did that no other official version of the game did right aside from making the difficulty a bit more balanced was how they handled Mr. Dark. In the original PSX version I will admit they didn't handle him all that well. He just mocks you by holding up a powerup with a rope then you get an endurance challenge where he fires attacks at you with columns of fire. There is no attacking and after outlasting him you get the powerup and he just shapeshifts into the Chimera (It's implied in the PSX version the Chimera is Mr. Dark shapeshifting as shown with the health bar.) but you never really fight his normal form. This version though? Not so much. You don't just fight his shapeshifting form. You fight his regular form right after and he's quite the difficult fight. And when you think you won he has a second form for the final boss. And then to top it all off he has a soul form of sorts at the end of the true boss rush.
You know, it was a time where the company was just starting. So they wasn't really as serious and talented at us today. But this redemption version of the game can be seems as a error cleaner and a rebirth of this game. For mister dark, I'm pretty sure they were out of time or they didn't get enough ideas to make it properly.
@@eliottdeletraz97 Serious and talented as today? To hell with it. They can't even make games properly and ruining their franchise and I think they are really serious way back then unlike today. They put their games with their heart and effort in the past. Now it's all only for money.
This is what Mr.Dark must have been like in Rayman on PS1, an intimidating boss, hard patterns to dodge, learn his techniques since he's a dark wizard, this battle is fucking memorable ❤️
I love the original Rayman 1, but this fanmade reimagined version of Rayman 1 is so much more better then the original one. More bosses and a way better final boss fight with Mr. Dark. Well way better final 3 boss fights with Mr. Dark that is. So glad he was given Justice with this version and gave him 3 whole battles that are all awesome and amazing. On par with Reflux from Rayman 3 with all the powerful phases. Tbh I’ll see Rayman Redemption as the original definitive version of Rayman 1 since it added so much more stuff to the game that should have been in the original.
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 👍
I know you don't have to break all the electoon cages in redemption (though I wish you did in classic mod and that it would retain more of the original design that was scrapped here) but I really wish the game retained the part where the electoons save you from Mr. Dark after he steals your ability to paunch. There was some catharsis in that moment.
We need Mr Dark returning in The Rayman Videogame Series he's one of my favorite Rayman Villains. I also would love to see Dark Rayman return too along with Jano and the Zombie Chickens and The Knaarens.
@@kolplayone Yeah he's the only one who we haven't gotten the chance to defeat yet and we need Rayman 4 too especially with similarities to Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc and that's my favorite Rayman game.
As much as the original is a classic I did always feel like the ending seemed a bit unfinished and the final battle with Mr Dark felt a bit anti-climatic with the great protune storyline not resolved. This fan labour of love completely knocked the ending out of the water! It deserves an official release! The Rayman version of Sonic Mania 😁👏
We hope if that Rayman remake is true, the team takes inspiration from these Mr.Dark fights and not the complete anticlimax that was the original fight.
Rayman Advance is a remake of the original Rayman game that is very similar to the PC version if you take a closer look. It was released in 2001 for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance handheld console.

The name used, I believe, for the soul form that Someone on yt said for the Ex Boss Rush was The Dark Protoon.
This is what Mr. Dark deserves, a real finale. I love him!
👍👍👍
The fight from the original could be the bad ending
@@r2332w maybe
@@kolplayone if you did not collect everything
@Justin 👌
That’s the boss fight a villain as cool as Mr Dark deserved! 👌
Yes 👍👍👍

agree with you
Must've? should've is the better term. This is definitely a revival of the game.
Wish I had this version of the game as a kid,thanks for uploading this.
yes the game is good
👍

I would love to see what Mr Dark would look like in Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc style.
@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 me too. it’s interesting

I agree with you, it's much better than the original and the bosses here are really cool!👍
Fact: the music of final Mr dark was a remix of the final battle of Atari jaguar version
interesting fact, cool 👍👍👍
In a ranking of rayman games, this would be in the honorable mentions as 1#
a good choice 👍👍👍

Wow it’s mr Dark
Yes
Mr Dark "yes I am.....why...who were you expecting me to be"?
Mr dark my favorite boss
Cool
I really love the creativity of the new chimeras
I like it too
Me too
Honestly they could done IT better
The second phase of Mr.Dark's fight comes from the Game Boy Color version
thanks for the interesting fact!

Yeah, you right😃👍
Wow, that was pretty climactic!
Thank!
The attack patterns and styling seem highly reminiscent of the final boss in Blasphemous as well.
Maybe
...now I want to see 'Redemption' versions of some of the earlier Rayman games.
Yeah that would be interesting🤔
been trying to complete the second phase all day today but the parts where he starts bouncing around the screen fuck me up so bad PLEASE
Good luck getting through :)
nice video
Thank you😃👍

(End level jingles plays)
Now and real fight against Mr Dark
Yes 👍👍
@@kolplayone To bad the "You´re doomed Rayman" Part was removed.
i hope him return back to sparks of hope dlc
I hope so too👍👍
@@kolplayone Also, I would like to see the revival of characters such as ly who haven't even returned for a long time...
@@ドラゴンリュー-f1x i want the final boss in the dlc to be mr dark

I love the part where the electoons save you, is that in the game?

ahora que lo pienso, esto es mas dificil que el Rayman advance
What the Rayman Advance?
Rayman Advance is a remake of the original Rayman game that is very similar to the PC version if you take a closer look. It was released in 2001 for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance handheld console.
interesting game👍👍
bro i wish this game was on mobile😢
Unfortunately only on windows
I preferred when Mr. Dark himself shapeshifts in hybrids of the previous bosses in the original Rayman, instead of creating them.
Good👍👍
He never did that. If you think he shapeshifted you were wrong!
