Spiky fruits exist in various sizes and are either all coloured red (in the PC version and its ports) or featured in a variety of colours (in the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar]] versions).


The most common type is a small fruit that falls when [[Rayman]] passes under it and hurts him if not dodged. They freely grow in [[the Dream Forest]] and can be found on rockers, but are also used by [[Moskito]] to attack [[Rayman]]. In the PlayStation, Sega Saturn & [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar]] versions, they are orange, except those on rockers, which are red as in the other versions.

A bigger type, about as large as [[Rayman]], is thrown at him by [[Moskito]]. They are red in all versions, including the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar]] ones.

Spiky fruits return as harmful obstacles in [[Prickly Passage]] and [[Lum Challenge]]. Unlike the spiky fruits that were featured in previous installments, the spiky fruits in this game are not naturally occurring. They are in fact a collection of fruit sewn together in a spiked cloth bag. Spiky fruits are either static or swinging.

Spiky fruits were featured in the E3 2010 trailer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. However, they do not make an appearance in the final product and thus were clearly [[Rayman Origins (early production)|scrapped at some point in development]].
