The '''Helicopter''' is one of Rayman's many magical powers, where he can use his oddly-styled hair as a propeller so that he can glide back onto the ground with precision. At certain points in the series he was also able to fly with it, though this upgrade was only temporary for whatever reason. This power is one of his signature abilities, appearing in all three major Rayman platformers.


==History==
The '''Helicopter''' is the fourth power that [[Rayman]] is bestowed by [[Betilla the Fairy]] in the [[Rayman 1|original game]], at the end of [[Allegro Presto]]. However, it is still possible to get it before the [[Grappling Fist|grappling fist]]. It allows [[Rayman]]'s hair to spin like helicopter blades, which lets him jump further. This way, he can reach platforms which were previously inaccessible and glide back onto the ground with precision.
===[[Rayman 1]]===
[[Image:Helicoptere.png|thumb|316px|right|[[Rayman]] activating his helicopter hair]]
Rayman first receives this power from [[Betilla the Fairy]] after passing through [[Allegro Presto]]. With it, he is able to reach platforms which were previously unreachable. By the time he reaches [[Mr Stone's Peaks|Mr. Stone's Peaks]], his helicopter is temporarily upgraded to the Super-Helicopter, which would allow him to fly through the level until he reached the end of it, thanks to the potion [[the Musician]] gives him.


===[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]===
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. 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.


===[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]===
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.
Rayman retains his normal helicopter ability in this game. 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.


===[[Rayman 3 (GBA)]]===
 
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.

In [[Rayman Revolution]] this was partially restored, meaning that he could permanently fly only over pools of lava.
