In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], plums are found in [[the Dream Forest]] and used primarily to float through water. They can also be made to drop onto the heads of [[Livingstone]]s, making them less dangerous: it then becomes possible to jump onto their plum-encased heads and use them as walking platforms, but directly touching the [[Livingstone]]s will still cause damage. When the plum is on the ground (where it keeps bouncing), [[Rayman]] must hit it with his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] to move it, whether he is in front of it or on it (in this case, he will have to [[Telescopic fist|shoot]] and then duck to ensure that his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] hits the plum when returning to him). Once in water, it floats in whichever direction [[Rayman]] is looking in, allowing him to control it with ease.

Plums can also be seen attached to vines; these plums will swing in a parabolic shape when [[Telescopic fist|punched]], and can be used to convey [[Rayman]] forward in levels, provided he times his jumps right in order to land on the plum, and depart from it.

In the Atari Jaguar, PC and [[Rayman Classic|mobile]]-exclusive [[Ray Breakout|''Breakout'' minigame]], [[Rayman]] must use a ball to make a cluster of floating plums of various colours vanish. Some of these plums have special properties, such as being very bouncy. Some cause the entire plum cluster to move when they are struck. Occasionally, plums in this minigame begin to flash with multiple colours; hitting a flashing plum will cause it to vanish and also release a collectible item such as a [[Ting]] (or others, depending on the version).
