Water lily: Difference between revisions

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenuphar Nenuphars]''', known as '''Water Lilies''' in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', are a type of flower found throughout the [[Rayman]] series, though most notably in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. These flowers usually serve as platforms, and are recognisable by their dangling, tail-like stems and their ability to float. Their appearance varies considerably from game to game, but these characteristics always remain intact.

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], there are two types of nenuphars, both of which are found in [[the Dream Forest]]. The first type of nenuphar is large and stable, and can be used as a platform (they sometimes move back and forth, or up and down). The second type of nenuphar is smaller and does not move; this type is incapable of supporting [[Rayman]]'s weight. If he steps on one, it will quickly sink, often leading Rayman to his death. There is one small nenuphar found in [[Moskito's Nest]] which, uniquely, rises when stood on, instead of sinking. In the PlayStation and Saturn versions, the small nenuphars that sink when Rayman stands on them have red bowties. In all other versions, they have pink bowties, like the large nenuphars.

In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and its spin-offs, the nenuphars are known as '''Water Lilies''' and come in several new varieties. These include ones which [[Rayman]] can bounce off of and ones which disappears like some [[Cloud|clouds]]. If the player plants a seed on two rows of seed types, a deadly plant will grow instead.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', [[Rayman]] rides what appear to be nenuphars in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. They are large, pink, flying flowers with tentacle-like vines on their undersides. These nenuphars are shown to be vulnerable to fire.

===[[Rayman 3 (GBA)|The Game Boy Advance adaptation of ''Rayman 3'']]===

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], two types of nenuphars appear. One is small, yellow and stable, and is found in the [[Forgotten Forests]]. The other is similar in appearance and function to the ones seen in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''; [[Rayman]] rides these in some of the [[Magmacosm]]'s levels, which are not dissimilar from [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]].
