''[[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>

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.

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Rayman]]'s fists behave as they did in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], but without any upgrades except for the one to grab [[Purple Lum]]s. He starts out the game without his fists, though quickly finds them after escaping.

==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==
{{Main|Slap}}
 
[[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 ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]''==
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.
