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.

In Rayman 2

Rayman makes use of a 3D liana 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.

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.
