'''Plums''' are large bouncy fruits that are found commonly throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They are usually purple in colour, and grow at a very fast rate. A plum can be knocked down from its plant and used as a platform or as a tool to despatch enemies. Plums, along with [[cage]]s, are some of the very few items that have appeared in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'' (though they are absent from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]''). In ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', plums are referred to as '''Bongo Berries'''. | '''Plums''' are large bouncy fruits that are found commonly throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]].

Plums can also be seen attached to vines; these plums will swing in a circular arc when [[Telescopic fist|punched]], and can be used to convey [[Rayman]] forward in levels, provided he times his jumps right in order to land on the plum, and depart from it. | Plums can also be seen attached to vines; these plums will swing in a circular arc when [[Telescopic fist|punched]], and can be used to convey [[Rayman]] forward in levels, provided he times his jumps right in order to land on the plum, and depart from it. | ||
In the Atari Jaguar, PC and [[Rayman Classic|mobile]]-exclusive [[Ray Breakout|''Breakout'' minigame]], [[Rayman]] must use a ball to make a cluster of floating plums of various colours vanish. Some of these plums have special properties, such as being very bouncy. Some cause the entire plum cluster to move when they are struck. Occasionally, plums in this minigame begin to flash with multiple colours; hitting a flashing plum will cause it to vanish and also release a collectible item such as a [[Ting]] (or others, depending on the version). | In the [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar]], PC and [[Rayman Classic|mobile]]-exclusive [[Ray Breakout|''Breakout'' minigame]], [[Rayman]] must use a ball to make a cluster of floating plums of various colours vanish.

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', plums are much less bouncy than in the other games, and are no longer buoyant. Their sole purpose is to be picked up and thrown onto posts, thus creating platforms which can be used to reach high places. On these plum-posts are pictures of [[Livingstone]]s; an in-joke referring to the [[Livingstone]]s' susceptibility to having plums lodged on their heads in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. As was the case in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] can carry them around with him; they have their own musical theme which plays in the background until they are thrown successfully (or at one point, unsuccessfully) onto a post. If [[Rayman]] is close enough to a plum, he can also kick it, sending it flying through the air. | In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', plums are much less bouncy than in the other games, and are no longer buoyant.
