'''Helicopter Yoshi''', also known as the '''helicopter''' or '''Copter-Yoshi''',<ref>{{cite|date=October 1995|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue 31|page=66}}</ref> is a form the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] can transform into in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]], often by touching a [[morph bubble]] with its picture inside. The helicopter is one of the two forms of Yoshi that appear in all three ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' games, the other being the [[Submarine Yoshi|Submarine]].
==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
The helicopter first appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' in the level [[Watch Out Below!]], where the player transforms into this form by touching a morph bubble. In this form, the player can fly around the level until they reach the [[Yoshi Block]] or until their time as a helicopter runs out. As with other transformations, the latter sends him back to the position where the morph bubble was touched. The helicopter can be controlled with the D-pad. Touching an enemy while in this form makes the Yoshi fall a short distance, unable to be controlled, which can cause the player to lose time and a [[Extra Life|life]] if they fall into a [[pit]].

Morph bubbles for this form can be found in the following stages: [[Watch Out Below!]], [[Lakitu's Wall]], [[Nep-Enut's Domain]], [[Don't Look Back!]], [[Ride Like The Wind]], [[The Impossible? Maze]], [[BLIZZARD!!!]], [[Danger - Icy Conditions Ahead]], [[Goonie Rides!]], [[Kamek's Revenge]], and [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]]. In the remake, ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'', this form also appears in the Secret Stage [[Go! Go! Morphing!]].

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
The helicopter reappears in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', functioning the same as it did in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Helicopter Yoshi reappears in  ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', acting the same as it did in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', although the player now transforms into this form by entering a [[Whirly Gate]] instead of a morph bubble and controls the helicopter by tilting the system. The transformation first appears in [[Hidey-Hole Hooligans]].

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:YoshiHelicopterSuperMarioKun.png|thumb|left|The helicopter's appearance in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
In volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Yoshi eats a morph bubble and turns into the helicopter. He carries Mario and Luigi; Mario then makes the helicopter eat a [[Watermelon]]. This causes the helicopter to spit seeds at [[Kamek]], the [[Toady|Toadies]], and even [[Baby Mario]], who was getting carried by the Toadies in the process. Unlike in the games, the helicopter does not run on a timer and ends whenever, causing Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi to fall to the ground.

===''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''===
The helicopter makes a cameo in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' in the tracks [[GCN Yoshi Circuit|Yoshi Circuit]] and [[GCN Baby Park|Baby Park]], where it appears flying over both tracks, and it appears on Yoshi Circuit's icon in the menu. The Yoshi Circuit track in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' removes the helicopter altogether, while in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', it is rebranded into being a [[Mario Kart TV]] themed helicopter.

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
Helicopter Yoshi reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', where it appears as a LV 2 [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]] that raises the character's [[Speed]] by 35% for a limited time when used.
