Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc starts with a single lum gone bad, transforming all of the lums in the universe dark. The resulting chaos threatens the lives of all of the creatures in Rayman's world, and the very balance of good versus evil. Globox's untimely swallowing of The Dark Lum Lord, makes for an interesting first quest as Rayman must locate three Teensie doctors to cure our friend Globox. The first leg of the adventure pulls Rayman through lush forests, dark and eerie swamplands and a scorching desert on his way to the ultimate confrontation with The Dark Lum Lord.
