Purple Lum: Difference between revisions

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

''[[Rayman 2]]'' is the first game in which Purple Lums appear. [[Rayman]] gains the ability to swing from Purple Lums by absorbing a [[Silver Lum]] which is granted to him by [[Ly]], after he freed her from her prison in [[the Fairy Glade]].

According to [[the Knowledge of the World]], Purple Lums are one of the five primary coloured [[Lum]] types that are used in the world. They are said to give cohesion to the world and that nothing would be solid or visible if they didn't exist. [[Rayman]] is able to use these [[Lum]]s by [[Magic fist|shooting]] at them, once the [[Magic fist|shot]] has met the Purple Lum, a blue magical tether will connect [[Rayman]]'s [[Magic fist|fist]] to the Lum allowing [[Rayman]] to swing back and forth in a parabolic shape. While swinging on the Lum, [[Rayman]] can also cause the tether to swivel around, allowing him better ease at reaching a far off platform that would otherwise be inaccessible.

==In ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''==

The Purple Lums appear in all iterations of this title. They function the same as in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', but their appearance varies between versions. In ''[[Rayman M]]'', although they're called Purple Lums, they resemble [[flying ring]]s. In [[Rayman Arena|the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''Rayman Arena'']] there is a small tether connecting the Purple Lums to their ring. In ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', they share the same appearance they had in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] and [[Rayman 3 (mobile phone)|the mobile phone version of ''Rayman 3'']], Purple Lums appear shaped like semicircles with crowns. Although they look like [[flying hook]]s, they are called Purple Lums in the two games.

==In the handheld versions of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''==

{{quote|text=[[Rayman]] can catch these hooks by hitting them.|sign=Manual|source=[[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' (Game Boy Advance)]]}}

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], Purple Lums can only be found near the end of the game and require a special power to interact with. To swing off of them, [[Rayman]] has to shoot a [[Yellow Lum]]. Doing so won't use up any of the collected [[Yellow Lum]]s. The Purple Lums share the same appearance they had in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.
