Has anyone else noticed that most of the bosses except Moskito and Mr Skops dance a victory jig with Rayman after he kicks their asses? Bzzit even becomes an ally who reappears in the sequel, albeit in the remake, Rayman 2: Revolution. Speaking of which, we need a GOG port of this game right now, as it looks better and more awesome if not just as awesome as the original Rayman 2 on PC and Dreamcast.
Anyway, all, or at least a lot of, the enemies and bosses except Mr Dark (for obvious reasons) go on holiday with Rayman after he retrieves the Great Protoon. The magician says that after it was lost, "freaks and hostile characters appear" meaning the bad guys.
But why would they suddenly side with everyone after balance is restored? Wouldn't they just run away or cease to exist? I think that very select few of the enemies in the game are genuine monsters spawned after the Protoon was taken and all the other baddies including those in the credits are just ordinary people of the Glade of Dreams who turned bad when their harmony was lost and they started conflicts for whatever reason could come to mind, not necessarily helping Mr Dark, or at least deliberately. As for if they all kidnapped the electoons or if it was the "pure dark" guys I'll leave for someone else.
Bizzit and Moskito may both be very territorial and are defending their nests from intruders or wanting to eat any hapless explorers (minus the Livingstone Zombies?)
Mr Sax is performing a grand concert in the sky and he doesn't take kindly to interruptions, such as anyone walking on his instruments and sheet music.
Mr Stone is a tough one. I'm not sure if he's a "pure dark" or not, but he seems to befriend Rayman when he puts the Totem pole on his head; the totem head lands on the ground after it breaks and jumps onto Mr Stone's body so he could have put it in himself as a funny "we're friends now" gesture or the totem head may be his real one and Mr Dark replaced it with a nasty one to stop Rayman from making it past the Blue Mountains.
Space Mama and her space pirates are still putting on their pirate play except now they rob people for real and maybe even make them walk the plank. Or airlock?
And Mr Skops is pissed at Rayman for waking him up from his nap, and without balance, he decides just to kill him instead of tell him to go away.
When Rayman gets the Protoon back, he saves them from their discord and they decide to celebrate their restored balance with their holiday in the credits.
