Its fight is based on fights from the Godzilla series of films. The fight takes place in a flat, 2D city with only a few 3D buildings which play a role in the battle.

After its defeat, Mecharez blows up, with Gex roaring victoriously.

Mooshoo Pork

He only uses a switch that triggers electric streams on the ground. Gex can use this against him by throwing the switch himself which will send a stream of electricity into Mooshoo's body from the large generator in the center of the room. He is seen driving the train in "In Drag Net", and again in the first secret level of gex 3. A portrait of Mooshoo is also seen in Gex 3 on the Mystery TV level.

Rez

The main villain of the game series. Rez is the arch-nemeses of Gex. His one true ambition is to control the entire Media Dimension under his own rule and ensure the longetivity of bad TV shows and Z-grade movies (this was implemented in 2006 for the game Ape Escape 3). His physical appearance throughout the video game series has him appear as a robotoic raptor. Not much is known about the origins of Rez, only that he thrives and lives within the Media Dimension, and that he is incredibly versatile at constantly popping up every few years after Gex has ridded him from the world of television. In Gex: Enter the Gecko Rez's fight takes place in none other than Rezopolis. In Gex: Enter the Gecko, Rez employs several weapons against Gex which include homing missiles and eye lasers. Rez also reveals to Gex that he is his father. This is debatable, as it could just be a reference to Star Wars, and Gex even makes a snide comeback to this. Rez was not seen again until Gex 3. Here, he is in his enlarged form from Gex 2. The differences are that he looks considerably different, with numbers where his eyes are, and a missile launcher. He also has a target on his chest when it is revealed, which is his weak spot. After he is defeated, he disappears and Gex rescues Agent Xtra. It is possible that Rez may still be alive, but he has not been seen since then.
