Flying Punch: Difference between revisions

The '''Flying Punch''',<ref>The name comes from the description of the [[Shoot them up!]] trophy/achievement from ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and the game files of ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''.</ref> also known as the '''super punch''',<ref>The name comes from the game files of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.</ref> is a power-up that appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''.

The Flying Punch is a very rare power-up in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. It can only be acquired in the second phase of the game, when [[Helena Handbasket]] tells the heroes to go and find the [[four Kings]] of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. The Flying Punch can usually be found inside a well-hidden [[bubble]]. Collecting it gives the heroes a set of seven blue boxing gloves (each of which has a face that highly resembles that of a [[Lum]]). These boxing gloves can be thrown by pressing the attack button. They move linearly, instantly destroying every enemy it touches on its path. The Flying Punch is considerably more powerful than a regular attack, as it can defeat enemies that are usually indestructible, like [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|robots]]. When all seven of the boxing gloves are used, the heroes return to their regular attack patterns; however, if they get hurt by an enemy before using up all of the gloves, they instantly lose them all. In this sense, the Flying Punch resembles the [[Power Fist]], a similar power-up which increased the strength of [[Rayman]]'s [[magic fist]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. The heroes can reload their gloves if they gather another Flying Punch bubble; however, the limit is seven gloves per character. At [[Rayman Origins (early production)|one point in the development of the game]], the Flying Punch gloves were larger, and each character could hold only four at a time. A scrapped yellow version of the Flying Punch was found in the game's files and later used in ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''.
