'''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]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]''). In ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', plums are referred to as '''Bongo Berries'''.

==''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''==

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], plums are used primarily to float through water. They can also be made to drop 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~~ will still cause damage. When the plum is on the ground (where it keeps bouncing), [[Rayman]] must hit it with his fist to move it, whether he's in front of it or on it (in this case, he'll have to shoot and then duck to ensure that his fist hits the plum when returning to him). Once in water, it floats in whichever direction Rayman is looking in, allowing him to control it with ease.

Plums can also be seen attached to vines, these Plums will swing in a parabolic shape when punched, and can be used to convey Rayman forward in levels, provided he times his jumps right in order to land on the Plum, and depart from it.

Line 24:

In the Jaguar, PC and [[Rayman Classic|mobile]]-exclusive [[Breakout minigame|''Breakout'' minigame]], [[Rayman]] must use a ball to make a cluster of floating plums of various colours vanish. 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 cause it to vanish and also release a collectible item such as a [[Ting]] (or others, depending on the version).

Plums return in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and its spin-offs where there are three different versions which have different bounce speeds. Swinging plums also make a comeback.
