The '''telescopic fist''' is the first power [[Rayman]] receives. It usually serves as his primary offensive ability and is seen in most titles within the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] in some form.

==In ''Rayman''==

{{quote|text=Hello [[Rayman]], I'm [[Betilla]] the Fairy, and I'm going to help you in your quest. I can give you a new power.

Now you can punch with your fist. Good luck! Press the □ button to punch. The longer you press, the further you punch.|sign=[[Betilla]] the Fairy in [[Pink Plant Woods]]|source=''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''}}

The telescopic fist is the first power that [[Rayman]] is granted by [[Betilla]] in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] in [[Pink Plant Woods]]. It is his most widely used power, and with it, he can hurl a fist that defeats any enemies that are in his way. Another power, the [[grappling fist]], allows [[Rayman]]'s fist to grab objects such as extra [[Life|lives]] and [[flying ring]]s. It can be powered up by picking up [[Gold Fist|gold fists]], which double the fist power, and [[Speed Fist|speed fists]] which make him throw it faster. Picking up a second [[Speed Fist|speed fist]] will further increase the speed. [[Rayman]] can also increase the power of his punches by either charging the fist or punching while jumping.

During the encounter with [[Mr Dark]] in [[Mr Dark's Dare]], [[Rayman]]'s fist is stolen by [[Mr Dark]]. The [[Electoon]]s do however come to [[Rayman]]'s aid and gives it back to him.

==In the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''==

In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of the original game]], [[Rayman]] begins the game with the telescopic fist and its origins are never explained. The [[Gold Fist]] power-up appears throughout the game but the [[Speed Fist]] does not. [[Rayman]] gains the [[grappling fist]] power-up after completing the [[Rocky Peaks]] world.

==In ''Rayman 2''==

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] shoots [[Magic fist|energy balls]] instead of throwing his fist when attacking. However, at the beginning of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', he is temporarily given the ability to punch by [[Globox]]. This power only lasts until he frees the [[Grand Minimus]] in [[the Woods of Light]], where he is given the [[Magic fist|shooting]] power as in the other versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

''[[Rayman 2]]'' was initially going to include the traditional telescopic fist power, but due to visual and gameplay problems, it was replaced by the [[magic fist]].<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 3 - Rayman 2: The Great Escape, ou le challenge de la 3D</ref> Early footage of the game shows [[Rayman]] using his telescopic fist against enemies such as [[Robo-Pirate]]s,<ref>YouTube, ''Rayman 2 Beta Trailer 4K'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_RVLzUdTI&t=26s</ref> and the mechanism is fully functional in [[Rayman 2 (early production)#Beta|a beta version of the game]] which had originally been given out as part of a contest held by certain gaming magazines in Italy in order to gather feedback for the game. In this version, the telescopic fist deals from 3 to 5 damage depending on the charging time, as opposed to 1 to 3 damage for the [[magic fist]].<ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''Rayman 2'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1497354#p1497354</ref>

==In ''Rayman 2 Forever''==

In ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color adapation of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] uses his telescopic fist in the same manner as the original game.

==In ''Rayman 3''==

{{quote|text=[[Rayman]] doesn’t have big biceps – hardly surprising, for an armless hero! – but he does have 2 fists which can prove to be very powerful.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}}

The telescopic fist returns in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. [[Rayman]] can shoot it laterally by strafing around enemies. The fist can be upgraded temporarily by the [[Laser-Washing Powder]] cans some [[Hoodlum]]s leave behind. Using his fist isn't his only means of attack in the game. [[Rayman]] can also kick his opponents if he is close enough.

The telescopic fist can be used offensively against most enemies in the game, barring the [[Knaaren]] who do not take damage against it and can only be evaded. The stilts of the [[Stumbleboom]] are also resistant to [[Rayman]]'s telescopic fist, but can be destroyed if the [[Vortex]] power-up is active.

==In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3''==

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], [[Rayman]] uses his telescopic fist in a similar manner to how it was used in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], with him being able to charge his fists for stronger attacks or just throw them normally. Throughout the game, he will receive several upgrades for his fists, such as being able to throw both at once, the ability to grab [[Purple Lum]]s, and finally the Super Fist, which allows him charge his fists for even stronger attacks.

==In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids''==

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Rayman]] starts the game without his hands, but he quickly finds them after escaping, allowing him to use his telescopic fist again. He does not receive upgrades in this game, and can charge his fist and grab [[Purple Lum]]s from the moment he recovers his fists.

==In the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids''==

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Rayman]] is able to use both his telescopic fist and shoot [[Yellow Lum]]s. However, his telescopic fist functions differently in comparison to most titles. His fist does not retract when shot, nor can it be charged. It deals half the damage of [[Yellow Lum]]s and can't defeat all enemy types. Unlike [[Yellow Lum]]s it can however be used an infinite number of times.

==In ''Rayman Origins'', ''Rayman Legends'', and their spin-offs==

[[Rayman]] begins ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' with only the ability to jump on enemies to defeat them, this is quickly rectified as [[Rayman]] and his friends rescue [[Betilla]] in [[It's a Jungle Out There...]], who then gives the heroes the ability to attack. Unlike past titles, where the telescopic fist was [[Rayman]]'s primary means of attack, [[Rayman]] is now able to perform a variety of close-to-medium-range punches and kicks. The telescopic fist remains accessible to [[Rayman]] by holding down the attack button and releasing, as it behaved in past titles. Other heroes also have attacks that are functionally similar, but aesthetically different. [[Globox]] attacks using slaps and kicks, while [[Teensie]]s attack using magic, and [[Barbara]] uses her axe to attack.

The attack power is retained in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', all previous characters use the same attacks, barring the ground kick move, which is changed to a [[crush attack]].

In ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'' and ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', the player can tap a button on the screen to attack. The characters can only use the running punch, likely due to the fact that they are constantly running, and the air kick. In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' and ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', the player taps a certain side of the screen to attack. Along with the running punch and air kick, these games also give the player access to [[crush attack]]s, with the latter game even letting the player use the ground kick move from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' while crouched. This can only happen in a few levels, however.

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

In ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', [[Rayman]] can use his telescopic fist during exploration to punch objects, including breakable ones, and start battles with roaming enemies. Charging his fist allows it to reach further, while his [[grappling fist]] ability allows him to grab objects with it.

In combat, while he can grab [[purple Lum]]s with his [[grappling fist]] to move around, he does not use his fist to fight enemies, instead relying on his [[Blaster]] and [[Plunger Guard]] weapons, his [[Vortex]] and [[Shock Rocket|Rocket]] costumes, and his [[dash]] ability.
