Yellow Lum: Difference between revisions

'''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]]'' and [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], and by the [[Rabbids]] in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (GBA)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. 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]]''. [[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 ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

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.

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 (Game Boy Advance)|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]]''==

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.

==In the Nintendo portable versions of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''==

===In the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|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'']].

===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.
