Super helicopter

The super helicopter is a temporary power in the original game, which is received twice, in Mr Stone's Peaks, when Rayman is given the potion by the Musician, and in Pencil Pentathlon, where he finds another potion. It can be considered as an upgrade to the helicopter power, as it allows him to fly in the air with his hair.

In Rayman 2, when Rayman goes beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava, Ly appears before him and gives him a Silver Lum, which upgrades his helicopter to super helicopter again, so that he can fly in the huge lava corridors. 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.

The super helicopter ability was revisited in Rayman 3, in the form of the Throttle Copter. The Throttle Copter is, of the five, the power with the shortest time limit, though it allows for brief flying similar to that in previous games. Instead of using his hair, Rayman uses the helices on his helmet.

In the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, Rayman receives the power to fly with his Helicopter so long as he consumed a Blue Lum - small ones would let him fly for a little while, whereas large ones allowed him to fly until the end of the level.
