In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', plums are used to travel through rivers of water and lava. They can also be thrown at [[Gorilla Pirate]]s, who will be rendered harmless and can be used as makeshift platforms due to the plum being stuck on their head. [[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 otherwise could not. Plums bounce endlessly, even on lava, however they can be destroyed if they fall into pits of intense lava.

{{quote|text=Beware! The Plum is an extremely hallucinogenic fruit. Don't pass one by without having a nibble.|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''}}

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', plums are much less bouncy than in the other games, and are no longer buoyant. Their sole purpose is to be picked up and thrown onto posts, thus creating platforms which can be used to reach high places. On these plum-posts are pictures of [[Livingstone]]s; an in-joke referring to the Livingstones' susceptibility to having plums lodged on their heads in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. As was the case in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', Rayman can carry them around with him; they have their own musical theme which plays in the background until they are thrown successfully onto a post. If Rayman is close enough to a plum, he can also kick it, sending it flying through the air.
