Pink rings are objects which appear in some fan fames, such as Rayman Redemption. They allow Rayman to grapple to them and reach otherwise inaccessible places in various levels.
In Rayman Redemption
Unlike the flying rings from the original Rayman or Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror, pink rings do not appear right away, and must be freed from the Toontotem of Moskito's Nest, as the first type of pink helpers encountered in Rayman Redemption. Before being freed, a wingless transparent image of them can be found at the spots where they'll subsequently appear. As a result, their release replaces the grappling fist power granted by Betilla in Rayman 1, as Rayman begins his adventure with all of his powers already unlocked.
Rayman can grapple to pink rings by throwing his telescopic fist at them, which will enable Rayman to swing on a rope of sparkling particles, allowing him to reach further and higher places.
Sometimes, Rayman will encounter red sickly versions of them, recognisable by their different color and black eyes. These variations will start falling as soon as Rayman grapples to them, which can prove dangerous in many situations. Red pink rings reappear after a short while after they fall from the level.
In Rayman ReDesigner
The pink and red rings make a return in Rayman ReDesigner, found in the utility tab of the level editor. Rings can be linked to events such as gendoors but cannot be flipped.
The pink ones can be assigned many different behaviors, such as moving in eight different directions with a speed ranging from 0 to 5, only moving on contact when Rayman grapples to them, stopping when blocked by reactionary collisions, or moving mirrored when blocked while moving diagonally instead of being bounced to a different angle. Swinging on a pink ring moving downwards or a red ring can be used to get below some passthrough tiles, allowing more unique ways to reach certain areas in custom levels.
Other pink helpers are also featured, as well as similar objects like the gold rings, or the new metal rings having the same properties as pink rings but requiring the LockJaw laser-washing powder to be used.
Trivia
- Unlike the original game, they can talk in Rayman Redemption, and thank Rayman for releasing them. Curiously, their name is displayed as "pink helpers".
- The pink rings can be unlocked without freeing them from their Toontotem by entering the "PINKBEST" cheat code.
