Cloud

Clouds are platforms found in all worlds of Rayman, except Dream Forest. There are many kinds of clouds, some of them being static, the others following various trajectories. Among static clouds, there are rebounding and trampoline clouds, the latter allowing Rayman to jump higher with a certain timing, but also vanishing clouds, which disappear after Rayman jumps onto them, or at regular intervals. During the battle against Mr Stone, moving vanishing clouds appear, but nowhere else.

In the Jaguar version of the game, vanishing clouds have eyes, which snap open to reveal a malevolent face an instant before they disappear from under Rayman's feet. These eyed clouds, however, do not open their eyes in any other version of the game, but they do still appear to have closed eyes. They make a reappearance in Rayman 3's 2D Madness minigame.
