Cloud: Difference between revisions

m I think we should call them 'vanishing clouds' rather than 'pierced clouds' or whatever. We call all agree that they vanish, but whether they're pierced or eyed is open to debate

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud Clouds]''' are platforms found in all worlds of [[Rayman 1|Rayman]], except [[Dream Forest]]. There are many kinds of clouds, some of them being static, the others following various trajectories. Among static clouds, there are rebounding and trampoline clouds, the latter allowing [[Rayman]] to jump higher with a certain timing, but also vanishing clouds, which disappear after [[Rayman]] jumps onto them, or at regular intervals. During the battle against [[Mr Stone]], moving vanishing clouds appear, but nowhere else.

In the Jaguar version of [[Rayman 1|the game]], vanishing clouds have eyes, which snap open to reveal a malevolent face an instant before they disappear from under [[Rayman]]'s feet. These eyed clouds, however, do not open their eyes in any other version of the game, but they do still appear to have closed eyes. They make a reappearance in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'''s [[2D Madness]] minigame.
==In ''Rayman'' and its spin-offs==
In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], they are found in all worlds, except for [[the Dream Forest]]. There are many kinds of clouds. Some of them are static, and others follow various trajectories. Among static clouds, there are bouncy and trampoline clouds, the latter allowing [[Rayman]] to jump higher with the correct timing. There are also vanishing clouds, which sport a pair of eyes and disappear once [[Rayman]] steps on them, or at regular intervals. During the battle against [[Mr Stone]], moving vanishing clouds appear, but these occur nowhere else.


[[Image:Nuages.png|thumb|320px|left|[[Rayman]] jumping on clouds]]
In the Atari Jaguar version of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], vanishing clouds open their eyes to reveal a malevolent face for a very brief moment every time they disappear. In any other version of the game, their eyes remain permanently closed but are still visible to the player, allowing them to quickly identify vanishing clouds.

Clouds return in ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]''. Some of them represent answer choices. In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and its spin-offs, they can be used in all of the worlds.

==In the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''==
In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], clouds appear mostly in [[Airy Tunes]] and [[Rocky Peaks]]. They are slightly smaller than in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and have no mouth or eyes. Clouds can be static, mobile, bouncy, trampoline or ephemeral.

Clouds make a reappearance in ''[[Rayman 3]]'''s [[2D Madness]] minigame, where they are larger, and bounce [[Rayman]] into the air rather than vanishing when he steps on them.

==In the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids''==
[[File:RRR DS - Challenge 9.png|frame|class=sprite|A cloud in a challenge level.]]
 
In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], clouds appear in several stages. They start out transparent and not solid, though they can be made solid by using the wind costume. They act as platforms used to get across large gaps. They will, however, only remain solid a set amount of time.
