| |image=[[File:Helio WL3.png]]<br>Sprite from ''Wario Land 3'' | | '''Helio''' is a character that originally appeared as an unnamed boss in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. In the boss battle, Wario must do a [[Ground Pound (move)|ground pound]] on his head to release an accordion-shaped device from his mouth. Then, Wario must do a ground pound on ''that'' in order to inflate Helio, and the entire pattern must be repeated twice more in order for the boss to be defeated. |

Helio looks like a balloon with arrowheads on its arms. Its name derives from "helium", a gas used to fill balloons. | |

| ==History==
| | Helio, like many other ''Wario Land 3'' characters, later appeared in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]''. He patrols the sky, watching for ongoers. In Dr. Mario's story (when people choose him to play), he is angered by [[Dr. Mario]] and [[Wario]] while they chase [[Mad Scienstein]] to get the [[Megavitamin]]s. Because of this, he pokes Wario and Dr. Mario, who's just behind Wario, has to play him in a match. |
| ===''Wario Land 3''===
| |
| Yellow Belly is a boss found in the [[Desert Ruins]]. When Wario first enters the boss's arena, Yellow Belly emerges from the hollow section on the wall. It mainly attacks by swooping down in its attempt to poke Wario with its stinger, and occasionally throws one of its stingers at Wario. If hit by either attack, [[Puffy Wario]] is triggered and causes Wario to eject from the arena as he floats past the thin platform. In this phase, Wario must attack Yellow Belly by using a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]] on its head when it swoops down. After that it drops a pump from its mouth, which must be Smash Attacked on, before Yellow Belly throws one of its stingers towards the pump to retrieve it, though the stingers in this phase will not puff up Wario. The pump itself can be pushed out of the way to prevent Yellow Belly from taking it back. Every time the pump is activated, Yellow Belly's body is inflated and grown bigger, requiring Wario to jump higher to get above its head. After the third pump is pressed, Yellow Belly pops, defeating it and opening the manhole that houses the [[treasure chest|Blue Chest]], containing the Bottom Half of Sun Medallion.

| | Helio looks like a balloon with arrowheads on his arms. Apparently, there is a toxin that turns Wario into '''Balloon Wario''' on the tips of the arrowheads. Helio is easily frustrated, as portrayed in the game. |
| Yellow Belly, now named Helio, later appeared in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'' like many other ''Wario Land 3'' characters. It patrols the sky, watching for ongoers. In Dr. Mario's story, it is angered by [[Dr. Mario]] and [[Wario]] while they chase [[Mad Scienstein]] to get the [[Capsule#Dr. Mario 64|Megavitamin]]s. Because of this, it pops Puffy Wario as he was puffed up by [[Jellybob (Wario Land 3)|Jellybob]] beforehand, only to sting Wario and trigger Puffy Wario again. For Dr. Mario, who is just behind Wario, Helio threatens to sting him, starting the match. He is not battled by Wario, instead [[Lump]] battles Wario in his story. Helio is also playable in the game's Vs. modes, where its AI difficulty is in the middle, alongside Lump and [[Hammer-Bot]]; this is the only game where Helio is playable, excluding the port in ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]''.
