Maracas rocket
The maracas rocket is a dream to drive, once you get the hang of it. But it is a tricky machine, so if you want to perfect your piloting skills, come and test drive it a bit in my garden.
Maracas rockets, also known as rocket-maracas, are a type of maraca found in Band Land, in the original Rayman game and its spin-offs.
Maracas rockets ignite and expel their handles when Rayman lands on them, and then start rising. It is possible to change their courses by placing Rayman on the left or right edges. If the maracas rockets get stuck, they will burst after a few seconds, potentially damaging Rayman. In Rayman Advance, maracas rockets move at a slower speed than in the other versions, probably to make up for the game's smaller field of view.
Maracas rockets are near identical in appearance to spring maracas, another type of maraca which do not ignite when stepped on but only sink slightly before springing back to their original position. Both maracas rockets and spring maracas are available in Rayman Designer and its spin-offs.
