'''Kopters''' are small, yellow [[Kremling]] enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They carry a green helicopter blade in each hand and wear a green crash helmet. A Kopter appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', instead wearing a black pilot cap with a propeller on top, beige pants, and a pair of goggles; its eye pupils are also red.
'''Kopters''' are small yellow [[Kremling]]s that are encountered in a few of the later levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. According to the game's credits, Kopters belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class. Kopters carry helicopter blades in each hand and can attain flight by spinning them rapidly. If either [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] get too close, they can end up being hit by the blades. Kopters also wear crash helmets meaning jump attacks are useless, but if the [[Kong]]s can land directly on the helmet they bounce thus attaining greater heights. Kopters are very uncommon enemies in the game since they only appear in the levels [[Buzzer Barrage]], [[Kong-Fused Cliffs]], and [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]]. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Kopters are found in [[Footloose Falls]], [[Rockface Chase]], [[Clifftop Critters]], [[Rickety Rapids]], [[Stalagmite Frights]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]].


==History==
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Kopters cannot be beaten in any way and can only be avoided. However, in ''Donkey Kong Land III'', they can be defeated by simply jumping on their heads; they also manage to defeat themselves by landing on the ground but respawn when the Kongs aren't on the same screen as them. A Kopter (wearing slightly different armor) appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' as an unlockable playable character and is the rival of [[Wrinkly Kong]]. In this game, he has greener skin and is unlocked by winning the [[Topaz Cup]] as a Kremling character.

[[File:Buzzer Barrage Quawks and Kopter.png|thumb|left|A Kopter in the ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble!'' level, Buzzer Barrage]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Kopters appear only in three [[level]]s of [[Razor Ridge]]: [[Buzzer Barrage]], [[Kong-Fused Cliffs]], and [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot 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 a [[Kong]] is hit by Kopter's blades, they take damage, but [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can harmlessly bounce on a Kopter's helmet for a boost in height. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Kopter is categorized as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

Kopters were initially programmed to have a standing sprite, vaguely reminiscent of [[Kutlass]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', and a defeated sprite.

==Stats==
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Kopters appear in six levels: [[Footloose Falls]], [[Rockface Chase]], [[Clifftop Critters]], [[Rickety Rapids]], [[Stalagmite Frights]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]]. Unlike before, a Kopters can now be defeated from being jumped on; however, Kopters can defeat themselves by landing on the ground, though they respawn when the Kongs are not on the same screen as them.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dkc3_idle_kopter.gif|frame]]
*Through hacking, it is revealed that Kopters were initially programmed with a standing sprite and a defeated sprite in ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. The defeated sprite, however, was seen in ''Donkey Kong Land III''. The standing sprite also bears resemblance to that of [[Kutlass]] from [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|the previous game]].
