Warship: Difference between revisions

[[File:RJR BateauPirate.png|320px|thumbnail|right|Artwork of a Warship from ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]''.]]

''Warships'' are vehicles that feature throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They are capable of flight and some appear to have gravity defying properties. They are part of the [[Robo-Pirate]]'s fleet in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', but are used by the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''.

In this game, Warships have brown wooden hulls, their decks have large masts topped by a watchtower. They have white sails decorated with the emblem of the [[Robo-Pirate]] army, painted black. At their bow is a long wooden stem. Their cockpit is situated at the stern and on its roof there are railings and a large lantern on a pole. There are searchlights on the stern and the bow, presumably used to survey areas for navigational and strategic purposes.

The Warships appear during the opening cinematic to the game in all versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. They are used to set the tone and demonstrate the state of [[the Glade of Dreams]] after the [[Robo-Pirate]] invasion.

When [[Admiral Razorbeard]] learns that [[Rayman]], who had recently escaped from the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', has arrived in the marshes of [[the Glade of Dreams]], he ordered his right-hand, known as the [[Spyglass Pirate]], to send Warships to hunt down [[Rayman]] and prevent him from obtaining the [[Four Masks of Polokus]]. He later orders more to despatch and attack [[Rayman]] when he learns of his progress and recent acquisition of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]].

In the Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|3DS]] exclusive [[The Isle of Doors|Isle of Doors]], a crashed Warship can be seen near one of the miniature island's shores.

In [[the Canopy]], a Warship attacks [[Rayman]] early in the third phase. In the original game, it shoots cannonballs, and ends up crashing against the trunk of a giant tree, due to a probable fault in operation. In the PlayStation version of the game, the Warship will attack [[Rayman]] for a set amount of time, before deploying a [[Green Henchman 800]] and passing on. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Warship flies over the area continuously, and [[Henchmen 800|Henchmen]] skydive from deck of the aircraft to attack [[Rayman]]. In order to progress, [[Rayman]] must damage the Warship by firing his [[magic fist]] on its weak point on its stern. The vessel explodes when its energy bar is empty.

In [[Whale Bay]], at the end of the underwater segment with [[Carmen]], [[Rayman]] arrives at a large cove in which a wreck of a huge Warship is situated. It is possible to board the ruins, browse the bridge and climb the pole with a rope net. A [[cage]] is located in the cab of the vessel.

At the end of [[the Echoing Caves]], one can see a Warship flying in the sky in the distance near the [[Spiral Door]] at the end, foreshadowing their role in the next level, [[the Precipice]].

In [[the Precipice]], a fleet of Warships, at the command of the [[Spyglass Pirate]], stalk [[Rayman]] throughout the entire world. They fire cannonballs at bridges and rope nets hanging from the walls of ravines, destroying them. They also fire [[red shell]]s, which merely move in the same direction and can either be jumped over or [[Magic fist|shot]] at to be avoided. At the end, there are some Warships docked near a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] installation, who attack [[Rayman]] by firing cannonballs, who will be preoccupied in fighting a [[Ninja Henchman]] also, however, their cannonballs can also damage the [[Ninja Henchman]], so [[Rayman]] can use them to his advantage.

In the final section of [[the Iron Mountains]] (split into [[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''), [[Rayman]] meets [[Globox]]'s wife [[Uglette]], who is in tears in front of the entrance to a mine. She informs [[Rayman]] that the [[Robo-Pirate]]s have taken all their children and forced them to work in the mines, despite [[Globox]]'s efforts to stop them. Nearby is an unmanned Warship, which [[Rayman]] will need to use to travel to all the mines and rescue the [[baby Globox]]es. The mines are situated in between narrow canyons, making precise control a must to prevent damage to the Warship, in addition, there are also dams which will attack the Warship on sight, which will need to be destroyed by firing a cannon which appears to be positioned on the ships' crows' nest. There are four mines to visit, North, South, East and West, once all have been visited, the Warship should be piloted back to [[Uglette]], who will then be given the Warship to leave the area with her rescued [[Baby Globox|children]].

In this game, the Warships only appear in [[the Precipice]]. They are much smaller than those from the original ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and have a different appearance. They do not move, and simply shoot cannonballs. [[Rayman]] can climb on the deck of these vessels to progress.

Warships appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but with more of a blimp-like appearance as opposed to ship-like. They now have a hot air balloon instead of a sail, a hatch on the roof of the cabin, a cockpit under the hull, visible guns and a rudder at the stern, like the [[Hoodlum airship]]s from ''[[Rayman 3]]''. They are used by [[Livingstone|Lividstones]], who are seen operating the vehicle in the cockpit by pedalling to turn a propeller.

In [[Port 'O Panic]] and [[Pirate's Treasure!]] from the [[Sea of Serendipity]], there are sections where a Warship will stalk the heroes and attack by deploying [[helicopter bomb]]s. In [[Port 'O Panic]], a [[Antitoon|Darktoon]] holding [[Annetta Fish]] prisoner will jump on the Warship during the heroes chase with it, while in [[Pirate's Treasure!]] the [[Tricky Treasure]] being pursued by the heroes will jump onto a Warship, and remain there for the majority of the chase.

In [[Riding the Storm]], a Warship appears and attempts to prevent the heroes from reaching [[the Magician]]'s base of operations in the [[Moody Clouds]], much like before, they do so by deploying [[helicopter bomb]]s.

At [[Shoot for the Stars|the final phase]] of the pursuit of [[the Magician]], he will jump abroad a Warship, crewed by three [[Livingstone|Lividstones]], one piloting, and a [[hunter]]. The heroes give pursuit abroad [[mosquito]]es, and once they have caught up, they will have to avoid missiles shot not only by the [[hunter]], but from various silos located in the area. During this phase, the heroes can damage the Warship by destroying its rudder, defeating the pilot [[Livingstone|Lividstone]], and by defeating the [[hunter]] defending it. Regardless of the damage the heroes give, the Warship eventually punctures an enclosure containing the heart of [[the Magician]]'s base, which subsequently explodes and destroys this Warship alongside the base.

A Warship appears in levels from the sixth world of ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', known as '''Pirate Ship'''. Its first appearance is at the end of '''The lost city''', setting up its appearance in the next level; '''Boom! Boomm!'''. It makes another appearance in '''You again!'''. It behaves similarly to the Warships encountered in the [[Sea of Serendipity]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.  

The Warship in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' has the same appearance to that it had in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', barring a change of shading to reflect the revised art-style employed in the game. It appears in [[Gloo Gloo]], the final level of [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]], in addition to reappearing in levels from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' located in the [[Back to Origins]] mode.

Several Warships can be seen in the intro and are piloted by [[Lividstone|Lividstones]] who have stolen [[Ancient Egg|the ancient eggs]] sustaining the [[Sacred Tree]].
