[[~~Image:AnneauVolant.png|thumb|316px|left~~|[[Rayman]] ~~swinging on a flying ring~~]]

'''Flying rings''' are objects which appear in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and its spin-offs, as well as in ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. They allow [[Rayman]] to move around the levels and reach otherwise inaccessible places.

[[~~Image:AnneauTombant~~.~~png|thumb|316px|right~~|[[Rayman]] on a falling ~~ring~~]]

==In ''Rayman'' and its spin-offs==

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Rayman]] will be able to use the flying rings when he gets the [[grappling fist]] power from [[Betilla]] the Fairy. He simply has to [[Telescopic fist|punch]] them and then [[Rayman]] will swing on an invisible rope, materialized by a sparkling line (except in [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|the Atari Jaguar version]] of the game, ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' and ''[[French with Rayman]]'', in which the sparkling effect is not present). Some of them, recognisable by their reddish colour and their black eye, start falling as soon as [[Rayman]] hits them.

===In ''Rayman Designer''===

The flying rings make a return in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', where there are several types to choose from.

*'''Steady ring''' - A stationary ring.

*'''Horizontal ring''' - Moves back and forth horizontally.

*'''Vertical ring''' - Moves back and forth vertically.

*'''Ring that goes to the right''' - Moves to the right.

*'''Ring that goes to the left''' - Moves to the left.

*'''Ring that goes up''' - Moves up.

*'''Ring that goes down''' - Moves down.

*'''Falling ring''' - Moves down after [[Rayman]] has [[Telescopic fist|punched]] it.

===In the Game Boy Color of ''Rayman'' and ''Rayman 2 Forever''===

Flying rings also appear in the Game Boy Color versions of ''[[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman 2 Forever|Rayman 2]]'', and fulfill the same role as their counterparts on the console versions do.

In two levels of [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], [[Fiery Depths]] and [[Dark Legacy]], [[bat]]s carrying rings can be found. When [[Rayman]] grabs onto them, they go and stay up. When he lets go, they go down. They can also hurt [[Rayman]].

==In the cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2''==

The red falling rings were going to appear in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']] but was ultimately cancelled. Oddly, these falling rings were not going to move down when [[Rayman]] [[Telescopic fist|punches]] them. They would have stayed stationary like the purple rings, as demonstrated in the playable prototype level in the PlayStation version of [[Rayman 2|the final game]].

==In the cancelled ''Rayman 4''==

Concept art and leaked Autodesk 3ds Max renders show that flying rings could have made an appearance in [[Rayman 4 (2005 cancelled prototype)|the cancelled ''Rayman 4'']].

==In ''Rayman in the Phantom Show''==

Flying rings return in ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. They are only found in battles, and can be used by [[Rayman]] to move around the battlefield. They can be hooked from the ground or in mid-air. They are similar in appearance to those found in the [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], with the exception of their wings which are closer to those of [[purple Lum]]s.

The player can spend one [[Skill Prism]] to significantly increase the duration of [[Rayman]]'s glide after hooking a ring from 1.75 to 3.75 seconds.

==In other games==

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the flying rings are replaced by the [[Purple Lum]]s. In a similar way to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], [[Rayman]] will be able to use the [[Purple Lum]]s once he acquires the power to grab onto them, this time from [[Ly]] the Fairy. In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the flying rings are replaced by the [[flying hook]]s, which are used when [[Rayman]] has the [[Lockjaw]]. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the flying rings are replaced by the [[Swingman|Swingmen]].

{{Quote|text=Great to hang out with.|sign=In-game description|source=''Astro Bot''}}

A flying ring makes a cameo appearance in the platform game ''Astro Bot'' as a prize that can be won from the game’s Gatcha Lab. In this game, it is known as a “Swing Ring”, and the accompanying [[Rayman]]-themed bot can be seen [[Grappling fist|swinging]] from it.
