The telescopic fist is the first power that [[Rayman]] is granted by [[Betilla]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] in [[Pink Plant Woods]]. It is his most widely used power, and with it, he can hurl a fist that defeats any enemies that are in his way. Another power, the [[grappling fist]], allows [[Rayman]]'s fist to grab objects such as extra [[Life|lives]] and [[flying ring]]s. It can be powered up by picking up [[Gold Fist|gold fists]], which doubles the fist power, and [[Speed Fist|speed fists]] which makes him throw it faster. Picking up more [[Speed Fist|speed fists]], up to three, will further increase the speed. [[Rayman]] can also increase the power of his punches by either charging the fist or punching while jumping. | The telescopic fist is the first power that [[Rayman]] is granted by [[Betilla]] in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] in [[Pink Plant Woods]].

The telescopic fist can be used offensively against most enemies in the game, barring the [[Knaaren]] who do not take damage against it and can only be evaded. The stilts of the [[Stumbleboom]] are also resistant to [[Rayman]]'s telescopic fist, but can be destroyed if the [[Vortex]] power-up is active. | The telescopic fist can be used offensively against most enemies in the game, barring the [[Knaaren]] who do not take damage against it and can only be evaded.

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids ( | In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Rayman]] is able to use both his telescopic fist and shoot [[Yellow Lum]]s. However, his telescopic fist functions differently in comparison to most titles. His fist does not retract when shot, nor can it be charged. It deals half the damage of [[Yellow Lum]]s and can't defeat all enemy types. Unlike [[Yellow Lum]]s it can however be used an infinite number of times. | ||

[[Rayman]] begins ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' with only the ability to jump on enemies to defeat them, this is quickly rectified as [[Rayman]] and his friends rescue [[Betilla]] in [[It's a Jungle Out There...]], who then gives the heroes the ability to attack. Unlike past titles, where the telescopic fist was [[Rayman]]'s primary means of attack, [[Rayman]] is now able to perform a variety of attacks and combos. The telescopic fist remains accessible to [[Rayman]] by holding down the attack button, and releasing, as it behaved in past titles. Other heroes also have attacks that are functionally similar, but aesthetically different, [[Globox]] attacks using slaps, while [[Teensie]]s attack using magic. | [[Rayman]] begins ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' with only the ability to jump on enemies to defeat them, this is quickly rectified as [[Rayman]] and his friends rescue [[Betilla]] in [[It's a Jungle Out There...]], who then gives the heroes the ability to attack.
