'''Punching Plateaus''' is the fourth level of the [[Jibberish Jungle]], the first world in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. As the name implies, attacking plays an important role in this level, as the world is filled with multiple breakable walls and enemies in comparison with previous levels, most common ones in this level are the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]]. The level was formerly known as '''Way Of The Fist'''. This is the third level to not be included in the [[Back to Origins]] mode in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

[[The Magician]] is seen at the start of the level on the left again and will tell the heroess about [[bulb-o-Lum]]s, charging their attacks, and ground pounding, if they attack or jump on his hat. Afterwards the heroes must defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] while avoiding dangerous waters containing [[tentacle claw]]s. [[Platformman]] also makes his first appearance in this area. The first [[Skull Coin]] is hidden on a small cave with plants, under the cliff with the [[Livingstone|Lividstone]] standing on a [[nenuphar]] next to a green [[bulb]]. To get it, the heroes must fall while making contact with the right wall, then perform a walljump to get into the cave. Then, the heroes can go back to where they were using a regular walljump.

Upon entering the area, the heroes encounter [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] for the first time in the game. After defeating them, the heroes must make climb out of the chasm to get to the top, by performing more walljumps, using a horizontal vine, and bouncing on [[flower bumper]]s. The exit can be found to the right, however, the [[#Secret area 1|first secret area]] can be found on the left, with an [[Electoon]] [[cage]] inside; the heroes can crush attack the wooden platform below and hit the green [[bulb]], which will create a [[flower bumper]], making the area easily accessible.

===[[Relic]] 1===

[[File:Punching Plateaus 4.jpg|320px|thumb|right|The first secret area.]]

The heroes must defeat four [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] guarding the [[cage]], while being careful to avoid falling into the [[spiky flower]] pit. They can do this manually, or use [[Swingman]] to swing over them and hit the [[bulb]], causing the platforms the [[Livingstone|Lividstones are standing on to disappear, making them fall into the pit.

Similar to the first area, the heroes must defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and avoid dangerous waters. Even though an [[Electoon]] can be heard crying for help, it is not in this area. The second [[Skull Coin]] can be found here, hidden inside of a [[bulb-o-Lum]] next to the [[Swingman]]. When the heroes hit the bulb, a [[bubble]] containing the [[Skull Coin|coin]] will come out and situate right in the other side of the water, the heroes must collect the coin quickly before the bubble explodes, while avoiding the [[tentacle claw]]. The third [[Skull Coin]] can be obtained after hitting the [[explosive bulb]] and performing a walljump in the upper area.

This short area is very luscious with life, with clean waters and flowers that hold [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] in [[bubble]]s. Below of the starting area lies the [[#Secret area 2|second secret area]].

Filled with curvy water currents, the heroes must time their jumps to defeat two [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] guarding the [[cage]]. If they miss one, they can use the [[flower bumper]]s to bounce back up and defeat them.

The heroes must now use their combined skills of jumping and attacking in order to defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]], while being careful to avoid falling into an abyss or dangerous waters. Timed jumps are key to avoid several [[spiky flower]]s that guard two [[Skull Coin]]s in this area. To get the fourth one, the heroes must hit a green [[bulb]] to activate two [[nenuphar]]s and jump on them; right after getting the [[Skull Coin]], the heroes must hit the blue [[bulb]] quickly to make the [[spiky flower]]s below disappear. The fifth [[Skull Coin|coin]] is right between two [[spiky flower]]s; the heroes must crush attack a [[flower bumper]] in order to reach it.

===[[Relic]] 2===

[[File:Punching Plateaus 12.jpg|320px|thumb|left|The sixth and final area.]]

The heroes must defeat five [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] in order to be able to break the [[cage]] to end the level. Then the heroes pose on a [[The Photographer|photoboard]] and watch [[the Magician]] wait in anticipation for the total amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] the heroes collected throughout the level.
