Editing Helicopter Yoshi

|character=[[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]

'''Helicopter Yoshi''', also known simply as the '''Helicopter''',<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'', ''Yoshi's Island DS'', and official website of ''Yoshi's New Island''</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'' games, the other being the [[Submarine (form)|Submarine]].

 

Helicopter Yoshi 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 reache the [[Yoshi Block]] or until there 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]].  

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

In volume 14 of the ''[[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 runs on a timer and ends whenever, causing Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi to fall to the ground.

Helicopter Yoshi makes a cameo in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' in the tracks [[Yoshi Circuit]] and [[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.
