In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], plums are used primarily to float through water. They can also be thrown onto the heads of [[Livingstone]]s, making them less dangerous: it then becomes possible to jump onto their plum-encased heads and use them as walking platforms, but directly touching the Livingstones is still dangerous. When the plum is on the ground (where it keeps bouncing), [[Rayman]] must hit it with his first to move it, whether he's in front of it or on it (in this case, he'll have to shoot and then to duck so that his fist's comeback hits the fruit he's on). Once in water, it floats in whichever direction Rayman is looking in, allowing him to control it with ease. | In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], plums are used primarily to float through water.

In the [[Breakout minigame|''Breakout'' minigame]] which is exclusive to the Atari Jaguar and Microsoft Windows versions of [[Rayman 1|the original game]], [[Rayman]] must use a ball to vanish a cluster of floating plums of various colours. 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 vanish it and cause it to release a collectible such as a [[Ting]] (or others, depending on the version being played). | |||

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', they are used to travel through rivers of water and lava, but can also be thrown at [[Gorilla Pirate]]s, who become harmless and static when the plums land on their heads. [[Rayman]] can move plums by shooting at them if they're in front of him, or by shooting anywhere if he's on it, which will move it in the opposite direction. It is also possible to throw them onto posts, permanently or temporarily (in this case, the goal is to take the plum to a precise place), allowing [[Rayman]] to reach places he couldn't. Plums bounce endlessly, even on lava. | |||

It is also possible to carry them, and thus doing so the background music will change until they have been thrown onto a post. [[Rayman]] can kick them as well. | ||
They also make an appearance in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], but only in the level [[River of Fire]], where their only purpose is for [[Rayman]] to jump on them and sail them across the lava to progress through the level. They cannot be picked up. | They also make an appearance in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], but only in the level [[River of Fire]], where their only purpose is for [[Rayman]] to jump on them and sail them across the lava to progress through the level.
