Telescopic fist

The Telescopic Fist is the first power that Rayman is bestowed in the original Rayman. It is his most widely used power, and with it, he can hurl a fist that defeats any enemies that are in his way, and for grabbing things such as extra lives and flying rings. In Rayman 1 it can be powered up by picking up gold fists, which doubles the fist power, and Speed Fists which can make him throw it faster.

This power is not the same as Shooting, a power Rayman primarily uses in Rayman 2, though in the beginning of Rayman Revolution he is temporarily given the ability to punch things by Globox until he frees the Grand Minimus in the Woods of Light, where he is given the shooting power.

Rayman also uses the telescopic fist in Rayman 3, where he can shoot it laterally by strafting around enemies. This is upgraded temporarily by the Laser Detergent Cans the Hoodlums leave behind.
