Helicopter Yoshi: Difference between revisions

A '''Yoshi Helicopter''' (sometimes known as the '''Yoshi-Copter''') is a form the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] can transform into in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' by touching a [[Morph Bubble]] with its picture inside.

In this form, the Yoshi can fly around the level until he reaches the [[Yoshi Block]] or until his time as a helicopter runs out. As with other transformations, the latter will send him back to the position where touched the Morph Bubble. The Yoshi Helicopter can be controlled with the D-pad. Touching an enemy while in this form will make the Yoshi fall a short distance, unable to be controlled, which can cause the player to lose time and a life if he falls into an [[Pit (obstacle)|abyss]]. The form returns in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', a Yoshi Helicopter appears in [[Baby Park]] and [[Yoshi Circuit]], though it is an actual vehicle instead of being a Yoshi transformation.

In volume 14 of the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', Yoshi eats a Morph Bubble and turns into the Yoshi Helicopter. He carries Mario and Luigi; Mario then makes the Yoshi Helicopter eat a [[Watermelon]]. This causes the Yoshi 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 Yoshi Helicopter runs on a timer and ends whenever, causing Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi to fall to the ground.
