Helicopter: Difference between revisions

{{quote|text=Things are not going to get any easier for you, [[Rayman]]... but this new power will make you stronger.

In ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', all characters have an ability equivalent to the helicopter. [[Rayman]] and [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|Dark Rayman]] fly by activating their helicopter hair, [[Globox]] and [[Uglette]] fly by inflating themselves like balloons, [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and [[Razorwife]] fly by spinning their arms like propeller blades, the [[Henchman 800]] and [[Henchman 1000]] fly by activating their jetpacks, [[Tily]] flies by flapping her wings and the [[Teensie]]s fly by swinging the top [[Teensie]] like a helicopter.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the heroes receive the power to glide after rescuing [[Holly Luya]] from the mouth of a [[Antitoon|Darktoon]]. From ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' onward, the rest of the [[UbiArt]] ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' games give the heroes the ability to glide by default. The helicopter allows the characters to glide over obstacles, and can lift them if they use the ability in an air current. While [[Rayman]]-based characters continue to use the helicopter with their hair (with the exceptions of [[Sir Rayelot]] and [[Ray Plumber]] in which case they use the wings on their headwear), [[Globox]]-based characters rapidly flap their arms to glide, the [[Teensie]]s open up their clothing to glide (acting as a parachute of sorts), and [[Barbara]]-based characters use the wings on their helmet to glide.

In ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', [[Rayman]] can use the helicopter by jumping off of Jump Panels or after swinging off of a [[flying ring]]. If he does this in the overworld using the former method, [[Rabbid Mario]] and [[Rabbid Peach]] grab onto [[Rayman]]’s feet to fly with him. While using the helicopter, unlike in his other games, [[Rayman]] does not descend at all; rather, he is granted free horizontal movement in the air; however, after a few seconds, his hair will glow golden and sweat drops will appear for a second, and then he will stop flying. The player can spend a [[Skill Prism]] to increase [[Rayman]]’s flight duration after swinging from a [[flying ring]] from 1.75 seconds to 3.75 seconds.
