'''Lives''' are power-ups found in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], its spin-offs, [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|its Game Boy Color adaptation]] and [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']].

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], lives are usually hidden in secret areas or activated when certain events occur. They look like small statues of [[Rayman]], with a dark purple base and a number 1 written on it. It is possible to catch them by touching them or throwing [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] at them, once he has received the [[grappling fist]] ability. When [[Rayman]] collects a life, the player gains an additional chance to restart from the most recent [[The Photographer|checkpoint]] should [[Rayman]] die. Any health [[Rayman]] has lost is also restored. When [[Rayman]] loses all of his lives, the [[continue]] screen appears, giving [[Rayman]] a chance to use one of his [[continue]]s to recover his lives. In most of the versions, [[Rayman]] starts with 3 lives and can receive a new one through either collecting a statue, collecting 100 [[Ting]]s or winning a [[Bonus level (Rayman 1)|bonus level]].

In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', lives, known as '''One-ups''', function similarly to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. This time however, the amount of lives the player starts with in a level is determined by its difficulty setting. If it is set to easy the player starts with 1 life, if it is medium the player starts with 3 lives and if it is hard the player starts with 5. Upon losing all lives in a level, the player is sent to the map screen.

Lives were going to reappear in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the scrapped 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], with the same design and function as in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].

In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of the original game]], lives appear as floating, spinning versions of [[Rayman]]'s torso. They serve the same function as in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. In ''[[Rayman ~~2 Forever~~]]~~'' they are replaced with~~ [[~~Super Red Lum~~]]s, ~~which serve~~ the ~~same purpose~~.

Lives reappear in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], where they are silver in colour. Here they serve largely the same purpose as they did in [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', lives were intended to make a return. Instead of statues, they appeared to be plush toys of [[Rayman]], resembling more the icon of the [[Wanna Kick Rayman]] series from ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Lives were only seen in [[Rayman Origins (early production)|a beta version of the game]], which also featured some other scrapped elements such as [[the Photographer]]. In the beta, [[Rayman]] could get a life just by touching special [[bubble]]s only found in secret rooms with [[Electoon]] [[cage]]s. These [[bubble]]s act as roulettes, scrolling between various other items such as [[Blue Punch]]es, [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], and [[heart]]s. With good timing, the players could gather a life, which, weirdly, makes a big [[heart]] with inverted colours appear for a short period.

During final development, the lives (along with the roulette [[bubble]]s) were removed from the final version of the game. The developers decided this to get rid of the "arcade era" and provide a new and more positive gaming experience, as the player could lose as many times as necessary to gain skill without having to worry about being ejected from the game.<ref>[http://raymanorigins.uk.ubi.com/blog/2011/11/03/10-ways-to-die ''Ten Ways to Die'' ~~Trailer~~]</ref> This may suggest that lives won't appear in future games of the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]].
