## Plot

Man Ray appears at the end of The Mermalair level, where he's using the invasion to release his fellow villains and to rob Bikini Bottom blind. After Dirty Bubble betrays the heroes, Patrick is left to fight Man Ray and the other supervillains. Man Ray releases Atomic Flounder, Sinister Slug, Jumbo Shrimp & Sneaky Hermit, and Prawn, to fight Patrick but they all get defeated. Dirty Bubble then fights Patrick but is defeated as well. After Dirty Bubble is popped, Man Ray steps in himself but is defeated. He is left behind, unconscious, along with the rest of the villains in The Mermalair for the rest of the main game. In the final minigame, Chef's Clamity, he appears as a villain summoned by Prowlnos to defeat Patrick but he is defeated in 3 hits and the whole minigame is revealed to be Patrick's dream in the ending.

## Attack Pattern

Man Ray has three phases of his boss fight. He starts each phase by yelling "Freeze ray!" and firing a freezing blast at Patrick, if it hits him, it temporarily freezes Patrick and the screen until the player spams E to escape. He then begins firing fire blasts at Patrick, the player must keep moving to avoid getting hit. After a while of this, he will stop and bait Patrick, pretending his gun stopped working. If the player doesn't attack him in time while he is baiting then he will restart his attack pattern with his freeze ray attack. Once he is hit while baiting, he'll block and counterattack, the player must block this and then attack him by punching him three times, this is the only time he is vulnerable to damage. He then restarts his attack pattern to his freeze ray attack and repeats this each time he is successfully damaged. After he is successfully punched nine times, Man Ray will fall over and be defeated.
