A '''plum''' is an oversized fruit that is found throughout the [[Rayman]] series. It is purple in colour, and grows at a very fast rate. It can be knocked down from its tree. Notably, this is the only item aside from cages that has appeared in all three major Rayman platformers.

In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', plums are used to float through swamps and can also be thrown at [[Livingstone]]s, making them harmless: then, it will be possible to jump onto them. When the plum is on the ground (where it keeps rebounding), [[Rayman]] must hit it with his first to move it, whether he's in front of it or on it (in this case, he'll have to shoot and then to duck so that his fist's comeback hits the fruit he's on). Once in water, it follows [[Rayman]]'s look, who can simply change the direction by turning backwards.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', they're used to travel through rivers of lava but can also be thrown at [[Ape Pirate|Gorilla Pirates]], who will also become harmless and static. [[Rayman]] can move plums by shooting at them if they're in front of him, or by shooting anywhere if he's on it, which will move it in the opposite direction. It's also possible to throw them onto posts, permanently or temporarily (in this case, the goal is to take the plum to a precise place), allowing [[Rayman]] to reach places he couldn't. Plums keep rebounding, even on lava.

Plums also appear in the [[Rayman 2 Forever|Game Boy Color adaptation of ''Rayman 2'']], in which they are only used to travel through bodies of lava. Notably, they are mostly purple but can also be green.

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', plums do not rebound any more, and their sole purpose is to be thrown onto posts to reach high places. It's also possible to carry them, and thus doing so the background music will change until they have been thrown onto a post. You can also kick them.

Plums reappear in the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (GBA)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], and they can be used in a number of ways. They do not rebound any more, and [[Rayman]] has to carry them. He can either throw them against spiky walls to create platforms or in the water to sail through the swamps.
