'''Plums''' are large bouncy fruits that are found commonly throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They are usually purple in colour, and grow at a very fast rate. A plum can be knocked down from its plant and used as a platform or as a tool to dispatch enemies. Plums, along with [[cage]]s, are some of the very few items that have appeared in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'' (though they are absent from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'').

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], plums are found in [[the Dream Forest]] and used primarily to float through water. They can also be made to drop onto the heads of [[Livingstone]]s, making them less dangerous: it then becomes possible to jump onto their plum-encased heads and use them as walking platforms, but directly touching the [[Livingstone]]s will still cause damage. When the plum is on the ground (where it keeps bouncing), [[Rayman]] must hit it with his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] to move it, whether he is in front of it or on it (in this case, he will have to [[Telescopic fist|punch]] and then duck to ensure that his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] hits the plum when returning to him). Once in the water, it floats in whichever direction [[Rayman]] is looking in, allowing him to control it with ease. | In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], plums are found in [[the Dream Forest]] and used primarily to float through water.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', plums are used to travel over rivers of water and lava. They can also be thrown at [[Gorilla Pirate]]s, who will be rendered harmless and can be used as makeshift platforms due to the plum being stuck on their head. [[Rayman]] can move plums by [[Magic fist|shooting]] at them if they are in front of him, or by [[Magic fist|shooting]] anywhere if he is on it, which will move it in the opposite direction. Plums bounce endlessly, even on lava, however they can be destroyed if they fall into pits of hotter, yellow lava. It is also possible to carry them and 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 otherwise could not. Oddly enough only plums from specific plum trees will stay on the posts. For the posts where the plum will fall off after a few seconds, it is not actually the post itself which is unstable, but rather that specific type of plum.<ref>YouTube, ''Rayman 2: Further Plum Experiments'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLME35DtD1s</ref><ref>YouTube, ''Rayman Revolution Interesting Plum Video'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66ht6r0NjS0</ref> | In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', plums are used to travel over rivers of water and lava.

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', plums are much less bouncy than in the other games, and are no longer buoyant. Their sole purpose is to be picked up and thrown onto posts, thus creating platforms which can be used to reach high places. On these plum-posts are pictures of [[Livingstone]]s; an in-joke referring to the [[Livingstone]]s' susceptibility to having plums lodged on their heads in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. As was the case in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] can carry them around with him; they have their own musical theme which plays in the background until they are thrown successfully (or at one point, unsuccessfully) onto a post. If [[Rayman]] is close enough to a plum, he can also kick it, sending it flying through the air. [[Plum juice]] barrels also appears in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and [[Globox]] is always forced by [[André]], who is in his belly, to drink from it, causing him to experience strange effects after doing so. | In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', plums are much less bouncy than in the other games, and are no longer buoyant.

==In other games== | |||
In the fighting game ''[[Brawlhalla]]'', a plum appears when [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], or [[Barbara]] use the "Relic of the Lost Temple" emote. | |||
The sandbox game ''Growtopia'' featured an item called the "Rayman Lock," which was based on a plum. | |||
