Flying Punch
The Blue Punch is an extremely rare power-up in Rayman Origins. Players can acquire it only in the second phase of the game, when Helena Handbasket tells the heroes to go and find the Four Kings of the Glade of Dreams. The Blue Punch power-up can usually be found inside a well-hidden bubble. Collecting it gives the player character a set of seven blue boxing gloves (each of which has a face highly resemble that of a Lum). These boxing gloves can be thrown by pressing the attack button. They move linearly, instantly destroying every enemy it touches on its path. The Blue Punch is considerably more powerful than a regular attack, as it can defeat enemies that are usually indestructible, like Robots. When all seven of the boxing gloves are used, the player character returns to their regular attack pattern; however, if they get hurt by an enemy before using up all of the gloves, they instantly lose them all. In this sense, the Blue Punch resembles the Power Fist, a similar power-up which increased the strength of Rayman's magic fist in Rayman 2: The Great Escape. The player can reload their gloves if they gather another Blue Punch bubble; however, the limit is seven gloves per character. At one point in the development of the game, the Blue Punch gloves were larger, and each character could hold only four at a time. A scrapped yellow version of the Blue Punch, named the Super Punch, was found in the game's files; however, its purpose and function are unknown.
