A helicopter bomb is a type of bomb encountered in several Rayman games, most notably in Rayman 2: The Great Escape. These bombs fly by means of a mechanical helicopter similar to Rayman's signature helicopter power. They fly directly towards him, and explode upon impact, causing Rayman to lose health. Most of these bombs are manufactured by the Robo-Pirates, though some helicopter bombs which appear in the Game Boy Advance adaptation of Rayman 3 may be the creations of Hoodlums. In the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2, some Henchmen 800 fire helicopter bombs. In all versions, the warships can despatch them.
In most versions of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, a hologram of several helicopter bombs is used to represent the Bayou. These holograms appear whenever Rayman approaches the Bayou's Spiral Door in the Hall of Doors. The holograms float towards Rayman and explode as they draw near to him, but they do no harm. In the PlayStation version, the Hall of Doors has been substantially redesigned; the helicopter bombs are now used as a symbol for the Fairy Glade. This makes them the only object used to symbolise multiple levels.
Helicopter bombs also appear in the Game Boy Advance adaptation of Rayman 3, which is a 2D sidescroller like the original game. The helicopter bombs here come in two varieties. First there are the standard, explosive helicopter bombs bearing Robo-Pirate logos; as in Rayman 2, these can be destroyed with a single hit. This game also introduces a new type of metal helicopter bomb, apparently manufactured by the Hoodlums; these ones are indestructible, and harm Rayman if he touches them.
