Plum: Difference between revisions

'''Plums''' are large bouncy fruits that are found commonly throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They are usually purple in colour, and grow at a very fast rate. A plum can be knocked down from its plant and used as a platform or as a tool to despatch enemies. Plums, along with [[cage]]s, are some of the very few items that have appeared in all three ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' (though they are absent from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''). In ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', plums are referred to as '''Bongo Berries'''.

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], plums are used primarily to float through water. They can also be thrown onto the heads of [[Livingstone]]s, making them less dangerous: it then becomes possible to jump onto their plum-encased heads and use them as walking platforms, but directly touching the Livingstones is still dangerous. When the plum is on the ground (where it keeps bouncing), [[Rayman]] must hit it with his first to move it, whether he's in front of it or on it (in this case, he'll have to shoot and then to duck so that his fist's comeback hits the fruit he's on). Once in water, it floats in whichever direction Rayman is looking in, allowing him to control it with ease.

In the [[Breakout minigame|''Breakout'' minigame]] which is exclusive to the Atari Jaguar and Microsoft Windows versions of [[Rayman 1|the original game]], [[Rayman]] must use a ball to vanish a cluster of floating plums of various colours. Some of these plums have special properties, such as being very bouncy. Some cause the entire plum cluster to move when they are struck. Occasionally plums in this minigame begin to flash with multiple colours; hitting a flashing plum will vanish it and cause it to release a collectible such as a [[Ting]] (or others, depending on the version being played).

Plums reappear in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], where they can be used in a number of ways. They are much larger here; they do not bounce any more, and [[Rayman]] can carry them again. He can either throw them against spiky walls to create platforms or in the water to sail through the swamps. Thrown plums can also kill enemies, as can walking into enemies while holding a plum.
