Grappling fist: Difference between revisions

The '''grappling fist''' is the third power that [[Rayman]] is bestowed by [[Betilla]] the Fairy in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. A variation of it appears in most [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' titles]].

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''==

[[Rayman]] is given the grappling fist power at the end of [[Moskito's Nest]]. It is normally the third power he receives, however, it is possible to get the [[helicopter]] before it. It allows [[Rayman]]'s [[Telescopic fist|fist]] to grab things such as extra [[Life|lives]] and [[flying ring]]s. In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], [[Rayman]] is given this ability by the [[Ting]]s at the end of part 4 of [[Rocky Peaks]].

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

In this game, the [[telescopic fist]] is replaced with the [[magic fist]], and therefore the grappling fist does not technically appear, however [[Rayman]] is granted a similar ability by [[Ly]] the Fairy at the end of [[the Fairy Glade]]. The [[Silver Lum]] she gives him changes the color of his projectiles from white to blue, and most importantly, it lets him grab onto [[Purple Lum]]s, which are used in the same way as the [[flying ring]]s from [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]], [[Rayman]] has the ability to swing on [[flying ring]]s, but is never seen receiving this power. As [[flying ring]]s do not appear until after [[the Fairy Glade]], it is impossible to know if he had the power from the beginning, or if his acquisition of it was simply not shown.

==In ''[[Rayman M]]''==

==''In [[Rayman 3]]''==

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the grappling fist is replaced by the [[LockJaw]] power-up can of the [[Laser-Washing Powder]], which allows [[Rayman]] to swing on [[flying hook]]s, similar to the [[flying ring]]s or [[Purple Lum]]s. However, the grappling fist makes a return in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]], where [[Rayman]] once again receives it from [[Ly]].

==In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]==

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Rayman]] has the ability to swing on [[Purple Lum]]s from the beginning of the game.

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''==

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]'', there is no variation of the grappling fist. However, the [[Swingman]] may be a reference to it, as the object works similar to the [[flying ring]]s, [[Purple Lum]]s and [[flying hook]]s.
