'''Punching Plateaus''' is the fourth level of the [[Jibberish Jungle]], the first world in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. As the name implies, attacking plays an important role in this level, which is filled with multiple breakable walls and enemies, the most common of which are the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]]. Punching Plateaus is not included in the [[Back to Origins]] mode in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. It was formerly known as '''Way Of The Fist'''.

[[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|The Magician]] is found at the start of the level on the left again. If the heroes attack or jump on his hat, he will tell them about [[bulb-o-Lum]]s, charging their attacks and performing [[crush attack]]s. Afterwards, the heroes must defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] while avoiding dangerous waters containing [[tentacle claw]]s. The [[Platformman]] also makes its first appearance in this area. The first [[Skull Coin]] is hidden in a small cave with plants, under the cliff with the [[Livingstone|Lividstone]] standing on a [[water lily]] next to a green [[bulb]]. To obtain it, the heroes must fall while making contact with the right wall, then perform a wall jump to enter the cave. Then, the heroes can return to their previous location using a regular wall jump.

Upon entering the area, the heroes encounter [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] for the second time in the game. After defeating them, the heroes must climb out of the chasm to reach the top by performing more wall jumps, using a horizontal vine, and bouncing on [[bouncy flower]]s. The exit can be found to the right; however, the [[#Secret area 1|first secret area]] can be found on the left, with an [[Electoon]] [[cage]] inside. The heroes can perform a [[crush attack]] on the wooden platform below and hit the green [[bulb]], which will free a [[bouncy flower]], making the area easily accessible.

The heroes must defeat four [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] guarding the [[cage]], while being careful to avoid falling into the [[spiky flower]] pit. They can do this manually or use a [[Swingman]] to swing over them and hit the [[bulb]], causing the platforms the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] are standing on to disappear, making them fall into the pit.

 

Similar to the first area, the heroes must defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and avoid dangerous waters. Even though an [[Electoon]] can be heard crying for help, it is not in this area. The second [[Skull Coin]] can be found here, hidden inside a [[bulb-o-Lum]] next to the [[Swingman]]. When the heroes hit it, a [[bubble]] containing the [[Skull Coin]] will emerge and appear on the other side of the water. The heroes must then collect the [[Skull Coin]] quickly before the bubble explodes, while avoiding the [[tentacle claw]]. The third [[Skull Coin]] can be obtained after hitting the [[explosive bulb]] and performing a wall jump in the upper area.

 

 

This short area is very luscious with life, with clean waters and flowers that hold [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] in [[bubble]]s. Below the starting area lies the [[#Secret area 2|second secret area]].

Filled with curvy water currents, the heroes must time their jumps to defeat two [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] guarding the [[cage]]. If they miss one, they can use the [[bouncy flower]]s to bounce back up and defeat them.

 

The heroes must now use their combined skills of jumping and attacking to defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]], while being careful to avoid falling into an abyss or dangerous waters. Timed jumps are key to avoiding several [[spiky flower]]s that guard two [[Skull Coin]]s in this area. To obtain the fourth [[Skull Coin]], the heroes must hit a green [[bulb]] to activate two [[Water lily|water lilies]] and jump on them; immediately after obtaining the [[Skull Coin]], the heroes must hit the blue [[bulb]] quickly to make the [[spiky flower]]s below disappear. The fifth [[Skull Coin]] is right between two [[spiky flower]]s; the heroes must perform a [[crush attack]] on a [[bouncy flower]] to reach it.

The heroes must defeat five [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] to break the [[cage]] to end the level. Then the heroes pose for [[the Photographer]] and watch [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] wait in anticipation for the total number of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] the heroes collected throughout the level.
