Swingman: Difference between revisions

Swingmen have a similar role in the game to [[flying ring]]s in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Purple Lum]]s in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and the [[flying hook]]s from ''[[Rayman 3]]''; they are used by the heroes in order to swing, helping them reach places they can not reach by jumping alone. They are flying blue blob-like creatures with a small purple hat and angel-like wings, protruding swinging arms which the heroes can grab onto as they approach one; it can protrude up to four arms at a time, one arm for each hero. 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]]'' near [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] trails; the heroes can 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.
