:I couldn't find any sources calling them "helicopter bombs" either. [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape: Prima's Official Strategy Guide|Prima's Official Strategy Guide]] (archived [https://archive.org/details/Rayman2TheGreatEscapePrimaGuide here]) seems to call them "explosives", "explosive missiles" and "explosive mines", though they are quite obviously neither missiles nor mines. Unless someone can come up with a source for the name "helicopter bomb", I agree that the article should be renamed. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 07:28, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

::In this [https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/File:R2_Portraitdefamille.jpg beta family portrait] it shows the name as "Une bombe à hélice", which seems to match the name of helicopter bomb. Internally it seems to just be named "bombe" though. The audio file is also named "BOMVOL" which is short for "bomb volante" (flying bomb) which is also the internal name in the GBA version of Rayman 3 (as shown in the leaked docs as well as leftover prototype strings). --[[File:Carrot signature.png|75px|link=User:Raycarrot]] 08:46, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Good point about "bombe à hélice"; a better translation of it would be "propeller bomb" though. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 13:41, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
