One year later, [[User:The Jonster|The Jonster]] decided to investigate this in the [[Rayman Revolution|PlayStation 2 port of the game]], which is known to fix some glitches, while introducing a plethora of new ones. It [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66ht6r0NjS0 turns out] that the plums work exactly the same way, but the invisible wall to cover up the phenomenon was removed! This makes it even more strange that it took almost twenty years to discover these anomalies, but at least we know now!

Note that this is somewhat reminiscent of the phenomenon of the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6ExYL3NsK4 "regenerating"] [[~~barrel pirate~~]], investigated by [[User:Master|Master]]. While it is easy enough to detect in ''[[Rayman Revolution|Revolution]]'', it turns out that it occurs in the PC version too, but is covered up much better (in this case by hiding the [[~~barrel pirate~~]]'s lifebar before any spontaneous health changes occur).

==Conclusion==

[[Plum]]s and plum posts are programmed in a rather counter-intuitive way in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. This is excusable considering that they appear only once in the entire game. The anomalous nature of the relationship between [[plum]]s and their posts was covered up in a rather brutish manner, using an imperfect invisible wall. This was inexplicably removed from the [[Rayman Revolution|PS2 port]], which makes one wonder why this phenomenon took so many years to discover.
