'''Yellow Lums''' are the most important of all [[Lums]]. They, along with the [[Red Lums|Red]], [[Blue Lums|Blue]], and [[Purple Lums|Purple]] [[Lums]], created the god [[Polokus]], who went on to create [[the Glade of Dreams]]. There are exactly 1000 Yellow Lums in existence; when united (which seems to be their natural state), they form [[the Heart of the World]], which was shattered into its constituent Yellow Lums by the [[Robo-Pirate army]] prior to the beginning of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. [[Rayman]] collected all 1000 of them throughout the course of this game; [[the Heart of the World|the Heart]] (which contains them) is seen for the first time in [[the Fairy Council]] in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|The Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']] contradicts the previous games regarding the number of Lums, featuring 1550 of them to collect, rather than the previously established 1000.

In such cases [[Rayman]] is required to collect all of them throughout the course of the games; [[the Heart of the World|the Heart]] (which contains them) is seen for the first time in [[the Fairy Council]] in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''.

There is some evidence to suggest that [[the Great Protoon]] and [[the Heart of the World]] are in fact the same object; the reason for its differing appearance in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' may be its destruction by the [[Robo-Pirate army|Robo-Pirates]] and its subsequent reconstruction by [[Rayman]] and the [[Teensie]]s. If this is true, then the 1000 Yellow Lums (in the form of [[the Great Protoon]]) could have actually have first appeared in ''[[Rayman 1|the original Rayman game]]''.

In most versions of the game, there are 1000 Yellow Lums to collect, which are scattered across the many levels that Rayman will travel through. Many will be encountered individually, floating at the same spot until collected, others have merged together in [[Super Yellow Lums]], which are worth 5 normal Yellow Lums, and some can be found hidden in cages. As Rayman's count of Yellow Lums increases, he will unlock more of the [[Knowledge of the World]], which contains lore based on the past of [[Polokus]] and the current situation with the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. It is because of the blowing of the [[Heart of the World]] and the scattering of the Yellow Lums that Rayman, [[Ly]], the [[Teensies]] and possibly many others are in a weakened state at the beginning of the game.

If this is true, then the 1000 Yellow Lums (in the form of [[the Great Protoon]]) actually first appeared in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. If enough Yellow Lums are collected, the collector can find out [[the Knowledge of the World]].
Yellow Lums are also required to unlock passages through to the [[Hall of Doors]] and the worlds containing each of the [[four masks of Polokus]]. 5 (10 in the PS1 version) are required in [[The Woods of Light]] to allow for a [[Grand Minimus]] to open a door leading to the [[Hall of Doors]] ([[Isle of Doors]] in the Dreamcast, iOS and 3DS versions, or [[The Front]] in Revolution).  
 
In most versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', [[Razorbeard]] eats a Yellow Lum during a cutscene. This causes the total Yellow Lum counter on the heads-up display to decrease from 1000 to 999. This Lum, however, can later be found in a secret room in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it is instead found in the same chest as the [[Lums Radar]], also in the Tomb of the Ancients.
 
In the PlayStation version, there are only 800 Yellow Lums and Rayman no longer receives [[the Knowledge of the World]] from them. In this version, the Yellow Lum which [[Razorbeard]] eats is replaced with a [[Red Lum|Red one]]. There are also 800 Lums in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]''. When the word Lums first comes up, it is erroneously spelled as "Lumz"; this strange discrepancy is also present in the PC game's manual, and in the GBC adaptation. In the PSX version, Lums are slightly smaller and they have visible black, beady eyes. In addition, the sound effect for collecting them is changed, and only one sound effect is used for all Lums.

In most versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', [[Razorbeard]] eats a Yellow Lum during a cutscene. This causes the total Yellow Lum counter on the heads-up display to decrease from 1000 to 999. [[1000th Lum|This Lum]], however, can later be found in a secret room in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it is instead found in the same chest as the [[Lums Radar]], also in the Tomb of the Ancients.


In the PlayStation version, there are only 800 Yellow Lums and Rayman no longer receives [[the Knowledge of the World]] from them. In this version, the Yellow Lum which [[Razorbeard]] eats is replaced with a [[Red Lum|Red one]]. There are also 800 Lums in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]''. When the word Lums first comes up, it is erroneously spelled as "Lumz"; this strange discrepancy is also present in the PC game's manual, and in the GBC adaptation. In the PlayStation version, Lums are slightly smaller and they have visible black, beady eyes. In addition, the sound effect for collecting them is changed, and only one sound effect is used for all Lums. Collecting all 800 lums in the Playstation version will unlock a level taken from the [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D prototype of ''Rayman 2'']].

==In ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''==
In these spin-off titles, one of the modes for the races is knows as Lums Race, where the player must maintain 1st position in three laps, but also collect the most yellow lums, which are scattered amongst the various paths of the racing track. To this end, a good strategy for this mode is to take different paths in each lap.


In ''[[Rayman M]]'', bonus Yellow Lums can be found, these are used to increase the total time in the timer for the track in the [[On and On]] racing mode.


In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], there are 1550 Yellow Lums to be found. However, in the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Nintendo DS)|Nintendo DS version]] the Yellow Lums have a totally different use; Rayman uses Yellow Lums to throw [[Magic Fist|Energy Spheres]], which do greater damage on enemies. Yellow Lums can be found in a great group, being called as "Bag of Lums". These are hidden in a single unit for every level of the game.
In Rayman M , Yellow Lums are identical to those in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' on the PC and [[Rayman Revolution|PlayStation 2]] , however, they have eyes. In Rayman Rush , Yellow Lums are identical to those in the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2''.

==In the [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|Game Boy Advance]] and [[Rayman 3 (Symbian)|Symbian]] versions of ''Rayman 3==
[[File:R3-GBA-YellowLum.png|240px|left|thumb|A Yellow Lum, as seen in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]]]
Yellow Lums do not make an appearance in the main [[Rayman 3|console versions]] of ''Rayman 3'', however, they do make appearances in both portable titles. They have the same spherical form as the [[Tings]] from ''[[Rayman 1]]'', but are coloured Yellow to reflect their role assigned from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' as pieces of energy from the [[Heart of the World]]. The [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|Game Boy Advance version]] has a total of 1000 Yellow Lums, while the [[Rayman 3 (Symbian)|Symbian version]] merely has 175 in total.


Much like in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the [[1000th Lum]] is secluded from the regular path a player would take to normally beat the game, however, unlike ''Rayman 2'', where the final Lum was merely hidden in a secret passage, the final Lum in the [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] is hidden in the [[Lum Challenge]]. This level serves as a final gauntlet, lacking enemies but having extreme platforming, in order to reach the Lum.

==In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''==
[[File:Yellow Lum RHR.PNG|240px|left|thumb|A Yellow Lum, as seen in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'']]
Yellow Lums feature as a collectible alongside the returning [[jewels]] from the [[Rayman 3|console versions]] of ''Rayman 3'', they award points when collected, but also have a separate counter logging all the Lums collected from the level. They must all be collected as they feature as part of a level's 100% tally, and thus, required for 100% completion of the game. There are a total of 1270 Yellow Lums in the game, unlike the 1000 total seen in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and the [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]
<br clear="all">
==In the Nintendo portable versions of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''==

[[File:RRR-GBA-YellowLum.png|240px|left|thumb|A Yellow Lum, as seen in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]]]
Unlike the 1000 total seen in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and the [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], there are a total of 1550 Yellow Lums scattered in the game, They look identical to the ones seen in the [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']].
<br clear="all">
===In the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]===

Unlike any of the previous titles, Yellow Lums are not simple pick-ups which contribute to an overall tally. Instead, they are used as ammunition for [[Rayman]]'s [[Magic fist]] attack, first seen in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. The attack that they contribute to allows Rayman to more easily dispatch of enemies and other offensive machinery. It also allows Rayman to swing on [[Purple Lums]].


Rayman can collect Yellow Lums much like in past games, where they merely float upon a spot and are added once Rayman comes into contact with them, there are also Lum bags which contain a large amount of Lums for Rayman to utilise. The total amount of Lums that can be carried at any given moment is limited, but the limit can be increased as Rayman progresses.
