The '''Super Helicopter''', also known as the '''Super Helico''', is a temporary power in the [[Rayman 1|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. The Super Helicopter is also used by flying [[Antitoons]].  

The '''Super Helicopter''' power returns in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and can be set to be used during an entire level as one of the level's properties or once the player finds the '''Super helicopter phial''', which is the potion which gives [[Rayman]] the ability.  

===In the [[Rayman 1 (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 1'']]===

This ability is also available in the ''[[Rayman 1 (Game Boy Color)|portable version of Rayman 1]]''. There are specific levels where [[Rayman]] eats a specific kind of a plant that gives him the ability to fly with the Super Helicopter.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', when [[Rayman]] 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, so that he can fly in the huge lava corridors. Unfortunately, at the end of the level, he loses this upgrade to [[Foutch]], who punches him. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the ability was partially restored, meaning that he could permanently hover only over pools of lava without loss of altitude.

The super helicopter ability was revisited in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', in the form of the [[Laser-Washing Powder|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 propeller in his helmet.

[[Rayman]] receives the power to fly with his [[Helicopter]] so long as he collected 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.

The ability is once again revisited via the [[Throttle Copter]], however, Rayman can now extend his flight time by collecting [[Blue Lum]]s.

In [[Rayman Origins]], there are no super-helicopter power ups. However, its effect can still be recreated, Rayman (and his friends) can fly in upward air currents, in a similar fashion to how he could gain altitude by flying in the air currents seen in [[The Fairy Glade]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

In [[Rayman: The Animated Series]], in order to avoid a fatal fall after a steamroller falling off a cliff by accident, [[Rayman]] holds the gang and flies in the air in [[No Parking]] episode. Since the power wasn't effective for a long time due to the weight carrying of the whole gang, everyone fell and crashed down into a house above [[Inspector Grub]]'s.
