Swingman: Difference between revisions

The '''Swingman''' is a creature from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. As its name implies, its role in the game is similar to the role of [[flying ring]]s in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Purple Lum]]s in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and the [[flying hook]]s from ''[[Rayman 3]]'', in that they are used by [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s to swing across wide gaps in the environment. It is a flying blue blob-like creature with a small purple hat and angel-like wings, that protrudes swinging arms to grab the heroes as they come near it (up to four arms at a time). Unlike the [[Fakir]]s and swinging vines, Swingmen have a more predictable management in multiplayer mode, as both the [[Fakir]]s and swinging vines require various players to control one single swinging element, while the Swingmen's multiple arms let the players have their own swinging element; the Swingmen, however, move their arms automatically, and cannot be controlled by the players who holds their hands.

Swingmen also appear in ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'' and ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''; the player has to grab their hand and jump with precise timing in order to acquire all of the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]].  

[[Platformman]] seems to have a close relation with Swingman.
