With their helicopter blades, Kopters propel themselves into the air. They fly in various directions, usually up and down in a vertical path or circling around a platform. Kopters cannot be defeated and should be avoided by the [[Kong]]s. If the lead Kong is hit by a Kopter, the player loses that Kong. Kopters' helmet protect them from jump attacks, although the Kongs can jump on the helmet directly to bounce higher. | |||

*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]]. | |||
