Water lily: Difference between revisions

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenuphar Nenuphars]''', also known as '''Water Lilies''', are a type of flower found throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], though most notably in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. These flowers usually serve as platforms, and are recognisable by their dangling, tail-like stems and their ability to float. Their appearance varies considerably from game to game, but these characteristics always remain intact.

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and its spin-offs==

===In ''[[Rayman Designer]]''===

In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and its spin-offs, the nenuphars are known as '''Water Lilies''' and come in several new varieties. These include ones which [[Rayman]] can bounce off of and ones which disappears like some [[cloud]]s. If the player plants a seed on two rows of seed types, a deadly plant will grow instead.

==In [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']]==

Nenuphars were going to appear in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']]. They would've functioned the same way as they did in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], but with an unique addition that allowed [[Rayman]] to hang onto the edges.

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] rides what appear to be nenuphars in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. They are large, pink, flying flowers with tentacle-like vines on their undersides. These nenuphars are shown to be vulnerable to fire.

==In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]==

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], two types of nenuphars appear. One is small, yellow and stable, and is found in the [[Forgotten Forests]]. The other is similar in appearance and function to the ones seen in ''[[Rayman 2]]''; [[Rayman]] rides these in some of the [[Magmacosm]]'s levels, which are not dissimilar from [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]].

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Rayman]] comes across large yellow nenuphars in the levels of [[Forest (world)|the Forest World]].

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==

Nenuphars return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', and are used as normal platforms. They appear in [[Jibberish Jungle]] and [[Ticklish Temples]]. Some nenuphars stand in one spot, while others move left and right or up and down.

Nenuphars only appear in the [[Back to Origins]] levels. Their behavior in this game is the same as it was in ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]''.
