Grappling fist: Difference between revisions
Castlefania (talk | contribs) Like I said in a previous edit, you CAN grab lives with the grappling fist in Rayman GBC. Now, in my previous edit, I mistakenly said this was the only way to get a life in one of the Rocky Peak levels; turns out it's not, you can also get it with a well-timed jump and helicopter. Still, I can assure you the grapling fist CAN be used to grab lives. Just tried it again to make sure I wasn't wrong. Try it for yourself if you don't trust me ;) |

The grappling fist is the third power that Rayman is bestowed by Betilla the Fairy in the original Rayman game. A variation of it appears in most Rayman titles.
In Rayman
Rayman is given the grappling fist power at the end of Moskito's Nest. It is normally the third power he receives, however, it is possible to get the helicopter before it. It allows Rayman's fist to grab things such as extra lives and flying rings. In the Game Boy Color version of Rayman, Rayman is given this ability by the Tings at the end of part 4 of Rocky Peaks.

Rayman swinging on a flying ring.
In Rayman 2
In this game, the telescopic fist is replaced with the magic fist, and therefore the grappling fist does not technically appear, however Rayman is granted a similar ability by Ly the Fairy at the end of the Fairy Glade. The Silver Lum she gives him changes the color of his projectiles from white to blue, and most importantly, it lets him grab onto Purple Lums, which are used in the same way as the flying rings from the original game.
In the Game Boy Color version, Rayman has the ability to swing on flying rings, but is never seen receiving this power. As flying rings do not appear until after the Fairy Glade, it is impossible to know if he had the power from the beginning, or if his acquisition of it was simply not shown.
In Rayman M
In Rayman M, all playable characters have the ability to swing on Purple Lums.
In Rayman 3
In Rayman 3, the grappling fist is replaced by the LockJaw power-up can of the Laser-Washing Powder, which allows Rayman to swing on flying hooks, similar to the flying rings or Purple Lums. However, the grappling fist makes a return in the Game Boy Advance version, where Rayman once again receives it from Ly.
In the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids
In the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, Rayman has the ability to swing on Purple Lums from the beginning of the game.
In Rayman Origins and Legends
In Rayman Origins and Legends, there is no variation of the grappling fist. However, the Swingman may be a reference to it, as the object works similar to the flying rings, Purple Lums and flying hooks.
