Prickly ball: Difference between revisions

'''Spiky balls''', also known as '''prickly balls''', are dangerous stage hazards which feature in the [[Rayman series|''Rayman'' series]].

'''Spiky balls''', also known as '''prickly balls''', are dangerous blue objects from ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. They exist in various sizes. The most common kind, of small size, possesses eyes and randomly looks around itself: they are found in all worlds but [[the Dream Forest]] and [[Picture City]]. The other kind, of much larger size, has no eyes and is sometimes attached to a rocker, which is made of three small ones with blank eyes. If it is not already spinning, [[Rayman]] can knock it but he must be careful not to get hurt. They are only found in [[the Blue Mountains]] and [[the Caves of Skops]].

In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', a green version of the small spiky balls was introduced in [[the Dream Forest]]. Except for the colour and location, there are no differences with the blue ones.

A different type of spiky ball appears in this game, this variation has visible teeth showing, and is of brown colouration. It appears only in the [[Shining Glade]] floating above bodies of water. Much like other incarnations of spiky ball, they cannot be destroyed, only merely dodged.
