A '''keg''' or '''powder keg''' is an explosive barrel of gunpowder found in some [[Robo-Pirate]] strongholds in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and most of the handheld games that followed. When [[Rayman]] is made to approach a stationary keg, he automatically picks it up; he can then walk about with it. Pressing the ‘jump’ button causes Rayman to toss the keg directly upwards – he can catch it again if he stands still. Pressing the ‘[[magic fist|shoot]]’ button causes Rayman to throw the keg forwards. By throwing kegs in these ways, Rayman can break open doors that are sealed with metal [[sparadraps]], destroy enemies, or break open [[cage]]s that are right above Rayman but out of his reach. If Rayman approaches a flaming torch while carrying a keg, the end of the keg ignites, forcefully sending the keg – and Rayman – hurtling through the air.


A '''keg''' or '''powder keg''' is an object that looks like a barrel found in any [[Robo-Pirate Army|pirate]] stronghold in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and most of the handheld games that followed.  It is used to break open doors that are sealed with metal [[sparadraps]], break open some [[cage]]s that are right above Rayman but out of his reach, or as a means of airborne transport by setting it alight.  Kegs are disposed by some sort of hatches, which have got a variation of the pirate logo on it. A new keg will be dropped by these hatches when the keg is destroyed. Whenever the sparadrap or other obstacle is destroyed, they won't drop any more kegs. Sometimes kegs roll down hills in places such as [[the Bayou]], making them an obstacle for [[Rayman]], but when he jumps on them, Rayman will bounce on them giving him a higher jump, most times to reach [[lum]]s.
Kegs are dispensed by trap-doors in walls, which bear the [[Robo-Pirate]] insignia. A new keg is automatically dispensed by one of these hatches each time the keg currently in use is destroyed. When [[Rayman]] has taken care of the [[sparadrap]] or other obstacle, no more kegs will be dispensed. Kegs can occasionally be found rolling down hills or across walkways in places such as [[the Bayou]] or [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]; in these cases the kegs cannot be used and serve only as obstacles for [[Rayman]]. If Rayman jumps on top of a moving keg, he is bounced high into the air, allowing him to reach [[Lum]]s or high platforms.


Kegs act as obstacles in the race courses of ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''.
Kegs act as obstacles in the race courses of ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''. Some courses feature kegs which are composed of metal rather than wood.
