A temporary upgrade of the Helicopter is also available: it is called the [[Super Helicopter]]. It allows him to fly in the air with his hair, which happens twice in the game: in [[Mr Stone's Peaks]], when he is given the potion by [[the Musician]], and in [[Pencil Pentathlon]], where he finds another potion. In the Game Boy Color version of ''[[Rayman 1 (Game Boy Color)|Rayman 1]]'', [[Rayman]] also obtains the [[Super Helicopter]] ability by eating a specific kind of a plant. | A temporary upgrade of the Helicopter is also available: it is called the [[Super Helicopter]].

Even though [[Rayman]] loses most of his powers at the beginning of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', his Helicopter remains, being as useful as ever. When he goes [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] appears before him and gives him a [[Silver Lum]], which upgrades his Helicopter to [[Super Helicopter]] again. Unfortunately, at the end of the level, he loses this upgrade to [[Foutch]], who thumps him. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', this was partially restored, meaning that he could permanently fly only over pools of lava. | Even though [[Rayman]] loses most of his powers at the beginning of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', his Helicopter remains, being as useful as ever.

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', he retains his normal helicopter ability. The [[Super Helicopter]] ability was revisited in the game as well, in the form of the [[Laser-Washing Powder|Throttle Copter]]. The Throttle Copter was, of the five, the power with the shortest time limit, though it allows for brief flying similar to that in previous games. | In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', he retains his normal helicopter ability.

In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', [[Rayman]] can use the helicopter since the beginning while stating that "he has been able to use his Helicopter power his whole life", which can be possibility a reference to the events from ''[[Rayman 1]]''. The [[Throttle Copter]] combat fatigue explores again the [[Super Helicopter]] ability, although this time it used [[Blue Lum]]s to stay airborne once activated. | In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', [[Rayman]] can use the helicopter since the beginning while stating that "he has been able to use his Helicopter power his whole life", which can be possibility a reference to the events from ''[[Rayman 1]]''.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], and the [[Teensies]] recieve the power to glide after rescuing [[Holly Luya]] from the mouth of a [[Darktoon]].

In the PlayStation Vita version of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the player can collect [[Relic]]s to unlock two mosaics showing stories from the pasts of Rayman and Globox. The Rayman mosaic reveals the ultimate origin of Rayman's helicopter hair. It seems that Rayman was originally bald, and had a girlfriend or wife who was a member of his own limbless species. One night, as they slept together in a forest, an army of tiny blonde hair creatures crept up on Rayman, and parasitically attached themselves to his head. Frightened by this strange event, Rayman's female companion took out an oversized pair of scissors and tried to cut Rayman's hair. Rayman panicked and ran off the edge of a cliff, only to discover that his new hair had the ability to act as a helicopter, flying him to safety. | In the PlayStation Vita version of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the player can collect [[Relic]]s to unlock two mosaics showing stories from the pasts of Rayman and Globox.
