Purple Lum: Difference between revisions

''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' is the first game in which Purple Lums are named. In this game, Rayman gains the ability to swing from Purple Lums by absorbing a [[Silver Lum]] which was granted to him by [[Ly]], after he freed her from her prison in [[the Fairy Glade]].

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], objects known as [[flying ring]]s appeared. These rings are essentially this game's version of Purple Lums; the function in the exact same way, and appear very similar (but Purple Lums' wings are insectile, while flying rings' wings are more bird-like). This game also features evil flying rings; these are ugly, red versions which sink when grabbed, often putting Rayman in danger. Rayman must receive a [[Silver Lum]] from [[Betilla the Fairy]] in order to use flying rings.

Purple Lums also appear in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and in ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', where all of the characters can use them. They lack eyes in all the game versions, except in ''[[Rayman Rush]]''.

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', items known as [[flying hook]]s appear. These [[Hoodlum]]-made contraptions work in the same way as Purple Lums, but [[Rayman]] needs the [[Lockjaw]] [[Laser-Washing Powder]] to use them. In the [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)| Game Boy Advance adaptation of ''Rayman 3'']], [[flying hook]]s wear metal crowns.

In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color versions of ''Rayman 1'']] [[Rayman 2 Forever|and ''Rayman 2'']], the Purple Lums move around freely in one location, ready for [[Rayman]] to grab onto them. There is one grabbing ring that looks red and black. It goes up and down. When Rayman grabs onto, it goes and stays up. When he lets go, it goes down. It can hurt Rayman and is located in [[Fiery Depths]] and [[Dark Legacy]].

 

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], a lot later in the game you can find purple lums.
