They freely wander on their platform, turning backwards when they face an obstacle. When Rayman is in sight, they start hitting the ground with their mallets, whose vibrations temporarily stun Rayman if he is in contact with a platform.

Rayman Activity Centre contains a activity entitled The Clown in Love. In this mini-game, the player controls a clown who is in love with a girl who has beautiful blue eyes. The player must use the clown's bow and arrow to burst balloons and spell out words. Upon completing a level, the clown sings and plays love songs on his guitar. The girl is never seen, and their identity remains unknown. As the Activity Centre is evidently set after the events of the original game, the clowns remain as friendly characters as opposed to enemies.
