Prickly fruit: Difference between revisions

'''Spiky fruits''', also known as '''prickly fruits''', are dangerous items found in various entries of the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]].  

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

Spiky fruits exist in various sizes and are either all coloured red (in the PC version and its ports) or featured in a variety of colours (in the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar]] versions).

The last type is almost of the size of the whole screen, and is used by [[Moskito]] to attack [[Rayman]] too. However, he never throws them, but only carries them with difficulty to hurt him with them. Before the battle, [[Rayman]] is pursued by [[Moskito]] carrying one of those fruits, and he must rush to the [[exit sign]]. During the boss battle, [[Rayman]] only needs to duck to avoid them. In the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar]] versions, they are purple, just like [[plum]]s.

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

In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', spiky fruits appear as [[The Dream Forest|Jungle world]]-exclusive enemy [[Event (Rayman Designer)|events]] and come in two types: '''Swinging prickly fruit''' and '''Falling fruit'''.

===In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|''Rayman'' (Game Boy Color)]]===

In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], small, red spiky fruits are found in [[Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1)|Spellbound Forest]], [[Rainy Forest]], [[Ancient Forest]], [[Arcane Forest]] and [[Dark Legacy]]. Most of them are attached to vines or walls, and drop when [[Rayman]] passes beneath them. Some also appear on rockers.

In [[Arcane Forest]], [[carnivorous plant]]s with the appearance of red spiky fruits with eyes can be found. They attack [[Rayman]] with headbutts, and take three hits to defeat.

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

Spiky fruits were featured in the E3 2010 trailer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. However, they do not make an appearance in the final product and thus were clearly [[Rayman Origins (early production)|scrapped at some point in development]].
