History
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
InDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Kopters appear only in threelevels ofRazor Ridge:Buzzer Barrage,Kong-Fused Cliffs, andPot Hole Panic. With their helicopter blades, Kopters propel themselves into the air. Kopters fly in various directions, usually up and down in a vertical path or circling around a platform, or even back and forth diagonally in a later part of Kong-Fused Cliffs. If aKong is hit by Kopter's blades, they take damage, butDixie Kong andKiddy Kong can harmlessly bounce on a Kopter's helmet for a boost in height. InDixie Kong's Photo Album, a Kopter is categorized as part of theKremling Kreeps.
