Helicopter bombs act as homing mines, being able to close into Rayman's position, and exploding on impact. They see heavy usage during the [[Warship]] pursuits of Rayman in [[~~The~~ Bayou]] and [[~~The~~ Precipice]], but also feature in other levels. In the [[Marshes of Awakening]], there are Helicopter Bombs which act more like stationary mines, and cannot move towards Rayman, but still act as considerable obstacles in his path, as coming into contact with one while waterskiing will cause Rayman to drown.

In most of the versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the helicopter bombs explode immediately when hit by Rayman's [[Magic fist]], and explode with fire. However, the explosion graphics in the ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' are different: the bombs explode with smoke instead, just as the homing missiles fired by the [[Red Henchman 800|Red Henchmen 800]] in the same version. Some [[Red Henchman 800]]s and [[Purple Henchman 800]]s are capable of firing Helicopter bombs in the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

Line 9:

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.

During the fight with the [[Grolgoth]] in [[~~The~~ Crow's Nest]], Helicopter bombs are fired by the Grolgoth offensively to damage Rayman, however, unlike the usual Helicopter bombs that have featured thus far, these Helicopter bombs will not be destroyed if shot at. Instead, they will be forced back, it is through forcing these Helicopter bombs back that Rayman can damage the Grolgoth, as they will cause it to trip up when they come into contact with it. The Grolgoth will stop using Helicopter bombs in the second phase of its fight, except in the Playstation version, where they retain the same behaviour, and can be forced back at the Grolgoth to damage it.
