Lianas are recurring plants that appear in nearly every Rayman game. Although their appearance has evolved over time, their function has, more or less, remained the same.
In Rayman and its spin-offs
Lianas are first seen in the very first level of the original Rayman game, Pink Plant Woods. They are large beige vines with pink leaves that appear in the Dream Forest, where their primary purpose is to allow Rayman to climb them to reach higher areas to advance or find a specific item.
In the Atari Jaguar version, the leaves of the lianas are colourized differently. Instead of pink and purple, the leaves are dark pink and aqua with a small shade of purple.
In Rayman Junior, dangerous lianas with pinkish thorns appear. If Rayman tries to climb on these lianas, he will get hurt.
-
Rayman can climb lianas to reach inaccessible places.
-
Differently coloured lianas in the Atari Jaguar version.
-
A dangerous thorn liana (Rayman Junior and hacked Rayman Designer only).
In Rayman 2

Lianas return in Rayman 2. They are less colorful and more realistic than in the previous game, and their functionality has been adapted to 3D; Rayman no longer needs to jump from vine to vine, as he can now climb smoothly along in any direction. They appear in forest-themed levels such as the Fairy Glade, the Walk of Life, and the Menhir Hills.
In the Game Boy Color version of Rayman
In the Game Boy Color version of Rayman, lianas appear in nearly every world. They change color and shape in each level, but they have the same function as they do in the main games.
-
Rayman climbing a liana in Spellbound Forest.
-
Rayman climbing a liana in Rocky Peaks.
-
Rayman climbing a liana in Arcane Forest.
In Rayman M and Rayman Arena
Lianas appear in Rayman M and Rayman Arena, where they appear in the Spellbound Forest Battle location with an appearance identical to those of the lianas in Rayman 2.
-
Lianas in Spellbound Forest.
