Plum: Difference between revisions

[[Image:R1 site plum.jpg|thumb|right|180px|A plum.]]

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 [[Livingstone]]s will still cause damage. When the plum is on the ground (where it keeps bouncing), [[Rayman]] must hit it with his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] to move it, whether he's in front of it or on it (in this case, he'll have to [[Telescopic fist|shoot]] and then duck to ensure that his [[Telescopic fist|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.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', plums are used to travel over rivers of water and lava. They can also be thrown at [[Gorilla Pirate]]s, who will be rendered harmless and can be used as makeshift platforms due to the plum being stuck on their head. [[Rayman]] can move plums by [[magic fist|shooting]] at them if they're in front of him, or by [[magic fist|shooting]] anywhere if he's on it, which will move it in the opposite direction. Plums bounce endlessly, even on lava, however they can be destroyed if they fall into pits of hotter, yellow lava. It is also possible to throw them onto posts, permanently or temporarily (in this case, the goal is to take the plum to a precise place), allowing [[Rayman]] to reach places he otherwise could not. Oddly enough only plums from specific plum trees will stay on the posts. For the posts where the plum will fall off after a few seconds, it's not actually the post itself which is unstable, but rather that specific type of plum.

Plums also appear in [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color adaptation of ''Rayman 2'']], in which they are only used to travel through bodies of lava. They are mostly purple, but, notably, they can also be green in this game.

==In ''[[Rayman M]]''==

Plums do not make an appearance in ''[[Rayman M]]'', however it is believed to exist a different kind of plum with a conical form and eyes in the top of the leaves. It is unknown if this kind of fruit is intended to be a plum variant or not.

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', plums are much less bouncy than in the other games, and are no longer buoyant. Their sole purpose is to be picked up and thrown onto posts, thus creating platforms which can be used to reach high places. On these plum-posts are pictures of [[Livingstone]]s; an in-joke referring to the [[Livingstone]]s' susceptibility to having plums lodged on their heads in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. As was the case in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] can carry them around with him; they have their own musical theme which plays in the background until they are thrown successfully (or at one point, unsuccessfully) onto a post. If [[Rayman]] is close enough to a plum, he can also kick it, sending it flying through the air.

Plums also make an appearance in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. They are found only in one level, [[River of Fire]], where their only purpose is for [[Rayman]] to jump on them and sail them across the lava to progress through the level. They cannot be picked up in this game.
