Swingmen have a similar role in the game to [[flying ring]]s in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Purple Lum]]s in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and the [[flying hook]]s from ''[[Rayman 3]]''; they are used by the heroes in order to swing, helping them reach places they can not reach by jumping alone. They are flying blue blob-like creatures with a small purple hat and angel-like wings, protruding swinging arms which the heroes can grab onto as they approach one.

Swingemen can protrude up to four arms at a time, one arm for each hero. Unlike the [[Fakir]]s and swinging vines, Swingmen have a more predictable management in multiplayer mode, as both the [[Fakir]]s and swinging vines require various players to control one single swinging element, while the Swingmen's multiple arms allow each hero to have their own swinging element; however, the Swingmen move their arms automatically, and cannot be controlled by the heroes manually.
