'''Scared platforms''' are platforms which would~~'ve~~ appeared in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']] had it not been cancelled. They ~~do however appear~~ in [[Rayman (~~Game Boy Color~~)|the ~~Game Boy Color~~ version of ''Rayman'']].

'''Scared platforms''' are platforms which would have appeared in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']] had it not been cancelled. They can be found in what is left of the prototype in [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']].

Scared platforms are shaggy brown platforms with root-like hooks. What makes these platforms unique is that they seem to have conscious minds, and react emotionally to [[Rayman]]'s presence. When [[Rayman]] approaches a scared platform, it rapidly levitates away as if frightened by him. This makes it impossible to simply jump onto it. Instead, [[Rayman]] must retreat to a safe distance to lull the scared platform back to its original position, to where he is able to [[Telescopic fist|punch]] it. This creates a sparkling energy connection between [[Rayman]] and the platform, similar to the connection that forms between him and [[flying ring]]s. This link remains until he [[Telescopic fist|punches]] again. As long as this connection endures, it acts as a leash, preventing the scared platform from flying away. [[Rayman]] can jump onto a platform he has tamed in this way. In some cases, he must capture one scared platform, jump onto it, and use it to reach and capture another scared platform.

The scared platforms made their first official in-game appearance in [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']]. Their appearance are very similar to the ones from [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the 2D prototype]]. However, these platforms do not have the unique behaviour of those which appeared in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the prototype]]; they are simply regular platforms which look the same as them.
